The best food storage containers I’ve ever owned are 25% off at Amazon today

I cook a lot, so having quality food storage containers on hand is of the utmost importance to me. For a long time, I put little to no thought into buying food storage containers. As long as they were cheap and big enough to store leftover meals and ingredients, they’d do. But after having one too many incidents of food leaking into my work bag, and plastic containers being decimated over time in the dishwasher, I figured quality food storage containers would be a smart investment.
After having these for about a year, I can say that Rubbermaid Brilliance glass food storage containers are worth the splurge.
Right now, these stain-resistant food storage containers are on sale on Amazon for up to 25% off when you buy a set of five. This is a great deal, especially if you want to buy more than one set. They come in handy for storing leftovers, and for organizing your fridge for spring cleaning. Considering their popularity (69,650 five-star ratings!), we know this deal won’t last long, so get them at a discount while you can.

The best thing about these food storage containers is how strong the airtight seal is. The gasket around the lid is so thick that you hear the sound of the seal when you close it. That, coupled with the large, snap-on latches, secures the food containers more tightly than any other food storage container that I’ve owned.
There have been times when I have had to employ quite a lot of strength to get these open. The extra work is worth it though in exchange for no leaks. And believe me, I’ve put them to the test. I make overnight oats weekly in these, shaking up the ingredients in the container the way that some people do with salads. When closed properly (make sure the seal sound is audible!), not a drop of liquid leaks out.
Another feature that I love about the Rubbermaid Brilliance food storage containers is the material. I’ve concluded that the thick and strong glass is what makes these containers long-lasting. Unlike other plastic storage containers that I’ve had, the glass Rubbermaid Brilliance containers don’t absorb the odors and colors of the food stored inside, nor have they broken down in the dishwasher over time. In addition to being dishwasher-safe, you can safely put these in the microwave and freezer.
These food storage containers are easily stackable and conveniently transparent, making them perfect for organizing food in your fridge. The contents of your fridge will look a lot tidier using these uniform Rubbermaid containers, rather than flimsy bags and plastic containers that come standard with the food you get at the grocery store.
Amazon reviewers agree with me, with the Rubbermaid Brilliance food storage containers boasting a 4.7-star rating out of more than 81,900 ratings. One reviewer wrote, “I have three different sizes of these containers and absolutely love them!….I put them in the freezer and the microwave with no issues. They stack up very nicely inside the refrigerator and store great in the cabinets. I threw out most of my other containers and use only these now.”
Discounts vary by the size of the set you buy, with the set of five, 3.2-cup containers offering the highest discount (25%).
If you’re looking for a more varied collection of sizes, check out the deal available on the 12-piece set. It includes four 0.5-cup mini, four 1.3-cup small, two 3.2-cup medium, and two 4.7-cup medium deep containers. Regularly $55, you can get it for $45.
NEW YORK — Former New York Gov. David Paterson and his stepson were attacked in New York City on Friday night, authorities said.
The incident occurred just before 9 p.m. on Second Avenue near East 96th Street on the Upper East Side, according to the New York City Police Department.
Police said officers were sent to the scene after an assault was reported. When officers arrived, police say they found a 20-year-old man suffering from facial injuries and a 70-year-old man who had head pain. Both victims were taken to a local hospital in stable condition.
In a statement, a spokesperson for the former governor said the two were attacked while “taking a walk around the block near their home by some individuals that had a previous interaction with his stepson.”
The spokesperson said that they were injured “but were able to fight off their attackers.”
Both were taken to Cornell Hospital “as a precaution,” he added.
Police said no arrests have been made and the investigation is ongoing.
The 70-year-old Paterson, a Democrat, served as governor from 2008 to 2010, stepping into the post after the resignation of Eliot Spitzer following his prostitution scandal. He made history at the time as the state’s first-ever Black and legally blind governor.

A 17-year-old boy was critically injured and a person is in custody after a gunman opened fire on a SEPTA bus in North Philadelphia Friday evening, police said.
At around 6:15 p.m., Philadelphia police were notified about a shooting on a SEPTA bus traveling on Allegheny Avenue near 3rd and 4th streets in North Philadelphia, Inspector D F Pace told CBS News Philadelphia.
There were an estimated 30 people on the bus at the time of the shooting, Pace said, but only the 17-year-old boy was believed to have been shot. Investigators said they believe it was a targeted attack on the teenager and that he was shot in the back of the bus at close range.
According to Pace, the SEPTA bus driver alerted a control center about the shooting, which then relayed the message to Philadelphia police, who responded to the scene shortly.
Officers arrived at the scene and found at least one spent shell casing and blood on the bus, but no shooting victim, Pace said. Investigators later discovered the 17-year-old had been taken to Temple University Hospital where he is said to be in critical condition, according to police.

Through their preliminary investigation, police learned those involved in the SEPTA shooting may have fled in a silver-colored Kia.
Authorities then found a car matching the description of the Kia speeding in the area and a pursuit began, Pace said. Police got help from a PPD helicopter as they followed the Kia, which ended up crashing at 5th and Greenwood streets in East Mount Airy. Pace said the Kia crashed into a parked car.
The driver of the crashed car ran away but police were still able to take them into custody, Pace said.
Investigators believe there was a second person involved in the shooting who ran from the car before it crashed. Police said they believe this person escaped near Allegheny Avenue and 4th Street, leaving a coat behind.
According to Pace, police also found a gun and a group of spent shell casings believed to be involved in the shooting in the same area.
“It’s very possible that there may have been a shooting inside the bus and also shots fired from outside of the bus toward the bus,” Pace said, “We’re still trying to piece all that together at this time.”
This is an active investigation and police are reviewing surveillance footage from the SEPTA bus.
