Tupperware alternative

With a baby on the way (yay!) I'm getting rid of as many plastics as possible, and I'm wondering what you guys use for tupperware. I've just been using ceramic bowls, but they're a pain to organize in the fridge. I cook a lot and have a lot of leftovers, so I want to get something that stacks well and will not (bonus!) make my baby sick. Any suggestions? Thanks!

    Yes

    This is a great brand. Also if you are on a budget there is a brand called Anchor. I have found that the lids seem a little more flimsy, but the price is better.

    I just switched everything over to Pyrex bowls with lids. I found I had to get a second 18 piece set since I also use them for freezer foods/meals. The other great thing is that they are super easy to heat in the microwave, can go in the dishwasher (I handwash the lids) and I believe you can also bake in them? Love 'em!

    Keep in mind, bowls stack pretty well and you can mix in them...but square might stack better in your fridge and can be baked in.

    Anchor Hocking is usually glass. Pyrex is a different material, somehow. I think. Still, it'll all work if you want to go plastic-free.

    I have some Pyrex but I also love Mason Jars in all sizes. I bought the plastic lids as they do not touch the food and you do you not have to worry about rust with the standard tops.

    I also used Mason Jars to organize my pantry and freezer.

    Perfect! Thanks so much. I use Mason jars as well, but I think the squares will work better for the fridge. Thanks again!

    Both great and I think you can bake in them too if you want. Great investment and if you know of any Pampered Chef dealers they have great 1 cup glass cups/bowl with lids. One set contains 6. Love them!!

    Pyrex rules.  You can freeze and bake in it safely.

    Ditto Pyrex. There's also a tempered glass container for Snapware (sold at Costco), but I'm finding that the lids only last for about 9 months before the pieces start snapping off, so I'd recommend staying away from those.
