Storing blinking storage containers........ Any ideas?

I've cleared out the cupboard used for storing containers, matched up lids with bottoms, chucked out miscellaneous misfits and now don't know how to store them without ending up trying to match them up again.

How do you store yours? Ideally they'd all be neatly stacked but that'll take up too much room.

Thank you smile

I have one of these big plastic tubs which was full of all out containers and sits in the big squeeze walk in kitchen store cupboard.
However I've recently bought 2 sets of flat-stack (google flat-stackers and you'll find them!) containers an they sit very neatly o a shelf taking up virtually no room. I'm in the process of off-loading all my other containers to DD's ... sneakily giving her stuff away with her knowing I'll never see the containers again same as everything else she takes. grin

Alejandra has the last word on how to organise plastic storage boxes in the kitchen - and, in fact, anything else you care to think of. As she would say, she's 'awesome'.
