B&M is selling a Fridge Storage Container with Removable Basket that promises to keep food fresher for longer, with prices starting at just £2.50. The storage item is designed to help households cut back on food waste, which often results from opened fruit and vegetable packaging turning brown, mushy, or fuzzy.
Two Sizes and Key Features
The container comes in two sizes: a small version for £2.50, ideal for blueberries and strawberries, and a medium version for £4, better suited to items like sliced cucumbers, broccoli, and lettuce leaves. The medium size also features an adjustable divider that splits the basket into two sections. Both sizes are lightweight and portable, making them handy for taking to work or packing healthy snacks on the go.
Dubbed "the perfect kitchen addition," the glass storage item includes a removable vented basket that is useful for washing and draining as well as storage. Sealable vents regulate airflow, helping to keep produce fresher for longer. A clip-lock lid ensures an airtight seal, preventing odours and spillages in the fridge.
Organisational and Health Benefits
The transparent container allows users to monitor freshness and quickly identify contents without removing the lid. It is free from Bisphenol A (BPA), a chemical sometimes found in alternative plastic containers. The glass composition makes it sturdier than flimsy plastic trays that can warp or break, and it is considered more eco-friendly for those concerned about reducing single-use waste. It also tends to last longer than plastic Tupperware, which is susceptible to stubborn stains over many uses.
Price Comparison and Alternatives
At £2.50 for a small size, B&M is cheaper than some other retailers. Dunelm prices similar containers from £3.50 to £10, while Marks and Spencer offers small versions at £8 and large at £15, with similar removable vented baskets and sealable vents.
B&M also stocks other affordable fridge storage options, including the Stackable Fridge Container With Detachable Lid for £3, which maximises space in smaller fridges. Many of these items, including the Fridge Storage Container with Removable Basket, are showing as "low stock" on the B&M website, so shoppers are advised to act fast and check their local store for availability. The Fridge Storage Container with Removable Basket is available in B&M stores now.
