'I like them more than my Pyrex': Down to $3 each, these airtight glass food storage containers are a Memorial Day steal — save 45%

Made of ultra-durable borosilicate, they're leakproof and built to last, users say.

If you're a fan of leftovers, good for you for not letting perfectly good grub go to waste. But we're also willing to bet you have a cabinet full of stained, mismatched plastic food storage containers that make packing up said leftovers quite the chore. Well, it might be time for a little upgrade. Thousands of Amazon shoppers approve of these sturdy, glass JoyJolt JoyFul Food Storage Containers, which have airtight seals to keep food fresh. And at $36 for a complete set — down from $65 — they're 45% off during the Amazon Memorial Day Sale.

With the original nearly 40% discount and an additional on-page coupon, this set is down to one of its lowest prices ever. You'll get 12 containers and lids for just $36 — that's $3 apiece. It's available in four colors, though prices vary (the gray set is currently the best deal).

As mentioned, these food storage containers are made of glass — but not just any glass. We're talking about borosilicate glass, which is used on thermal tiles in space shuttles. Not only does the glass conveniently allow you to see what's packed inside, but it's also oven-safe up to an insane 1,040°F and can go in the microwave (without a lid). You can also store these containers in the freezer if you have leftovers you know you won't get to right away.

With this set, you'll get four rectangular containers, four square containers and four round containers that range from 11 to 35 ounces. The included lids have airtight silicone seals and snap shut on each side to keep food fresh and help prevent leaks — so long, soggy lunch box! Now you'll have ample storage for everything from leftovers to ingredients you've prepped for the week.

The name doesn't lie — these food storage containers really do give us a jolt of joy. (Amazon)

Over 9,500 Amazon customers are singing the praises of the JoyJolt food storage containers.

"Best storage containers I have ever owned, and I’m 73," shared one wowed shopper. "Needless to say, I have many. I was so tired of fighting with poor-fitting lids. These are amazingly functional."

"Absolutely love how versatile these containers are," gushed another impressed buyer. "The glass is sturdy and [the] lids are easy to clean and do not stain. Both containers and lids did well in my top rack dishwasher without any warping. I put soup in the container and flipped it upside down on my counter just to test if it would leak, and not one drop escaped through the seal."

"These are excellent quality!" exclaimed a third customer. "Honestly, I like them more than my Pyrex containers. The lids stay on well, they stack together nicely and they wash up well!"

That same reviewer went on to say, "[My] only complaint is the lids are annoying to store, but otherwise I love them and will be ordering more!" (Psst: Keep scrolling for a smart lid storage solution.)

Said a final shopper, "This set is really small. Great for minimal leftovers. Ideal for going into lunch boxes. But for family-sized leftovers, they are too small."

This set is available in three colors - get it in black, gray, green or periwinkle.
