New TrueSeal Food Storage Containers

I love finding great new products that are sustainable and make your life easy–and Anchor Hocking has just come out with one!  Their New TrueSeal Food Storage Containers are wonderful!  I have carried Anchor Hocking for a while as a food storage alternative to plastics and Tupperware, but this new line is a huge improvement.

I have dealt with customers who over time their Anchor Hocking (and Pyrex, although I don’t carry that brand) lids crack.  This is due to freezing and then heating and then repeating the process again.  Anchor Hocking’s new TrueSeal is more rubber.  So not only is it now completely leak proof, it is also a more durable lid.  Anchor has always been good to send free replacement lids, but as an Eco-Shop owner, I appreciate innovation and FIXING the issue!  These new containers are helping me to get into pre-preparing meals and freezing.  Something that will become useful one kids come into the picture.

Plus there new cute, lime color gives them a refreshing face lift!
