IKEA Is Selling the Most Practical $16 12-Piece Storage Solution (It’s a Ridiculous Value!)

When it comes to giving a cluttered pantry or kitchen cabinets an organized makeover on a budget, IKEA is the place to go. For the cost of a carton of eggs (these days, at least), their storage systems turn a chaotic set-up of mismatched containers, bulky products, and haphazardly stacked dry food essentials into an aesthetic, functional display. Case in point: IKEA just started selling a 12-piece storage solution set that everyone needs in their home – and unsurprisingly, it’s already flying off shelves. 

For $14.99, IKEA’s KORALLVIPPA Dry Food Jar Set is a complete steal and looks just like its much more expensive competitors for a fraction of the cost. You’re basically paying about $2.50 per jar, and each of the six differently-sized dry food storage containers comes with an efficient, airtight lid that keeps your food fresher for longer, thanks to a sealing ventilation button. As an added bonus, the versatile containers and their lids are completely clear, making it easy to see what you need without taking everything out of your pantry or kitchen cabinets. Rounded corners also make it easy to pour out your cereal, coffee, or sugar without spilling. 

One of my favorite things about IKEA’s dry food storage set is that it comes in so many different sizes. The largest modular container, which can hold 2.1 quarts of food, measures 7.5 inches in height, 7.5 inches in length, and 4 inches in width; while the smallest container can hold up to 17 ounces of food and measures 4 inches in height, length, and width. 

Swapping out your bulky bags of flour, oats, sugar, coffee, nuts, pasta, and protein powder for this sleek, stackable 12-piece set will instantly uplevel your food storage situation for the cost of a few lattes. However, unsurprisingly, these jars are selling out quickly, and I saw that several IKEA locations near me are currently out of stock. While I’m still able to order the dry food storage collection through delivery, this might not be an option depending on where you live. 

You can wait until this set is back in stock or shop on Amazon right now for a set that’s similar in style and has an airtight seal. The Amazon Basics Food Storage Containers with Lids set is a little more expensive (it’s currently on sale for $59.99), but it comes with 10 different containers. Almost 2,000 happy customers called it a near-identical dupe of the OXO Good Grips POP containers, pointing out the Amazon version’s “airtight lids” and the “good quality for price.”
