Lock n Lock

I didn't realize they had ever gone. Or maybe I don't understand something here.

As far as I can tell, the sale items on Woot seldom last very long. In other words, you can't expect to revisit the Web site three days later and find the same deals.

Or the next day. By design, Woot! is one item per day. Unless it's a Woot! off, but that's a whole 'nother ball of wax.

 

(Yeah. Woot! is just about as addictive as a few other things I could thing of...) :D

My local Wally World has a 16 pc (8 containers) Mainstays brand lock & lock type containers for $7.97+ tax. About $1.08 each.

 

If they ain't Lock n Lock brand they ain't Lock n Locks. I've tried many other Lock N Lock type containers and none com close to real Lock n Locks.

Agreeing here. A knock-off is a knock-off is a knock-off, which usually equates to a rip-off.

Wally World wants your money, they don't want to make you happy with what you bought ('cuz it ain't their problem, donchaknow).

The WalMarts around here stopped carrying real Lock n Locks a couple years ago. Now they sell Sterlite and Rubbermaid versions which aren't very good.

 

I bought a few Faberware locking containers recently and their locking mechanism is almost identical to Lock n Lock's. I haven't set any in the wild yet though so I have no idea how they'll hold up.

I think it's modern merchandising. One company bribes the store to carry its brand only. Rubbermaid has convinced the store to carry only its brand, and not Lock and Lock. I can't find them anywhere. So I buy from Groundspeak.

Smimilar thought. I cannot find Kraft Mayonnaise anymore. Local stores only carry Hellman's or Store Brand.

Unfortunately. Rubbermaid just is not as good a quality.
