Buy shampoo and conditioner that comes in a pump bottle and re-use them.

I've had my Rubbermaid containers for at least 25 years. They are definitely BIFL. They'll outlive me.

Rubbermaid makes a jillion types. If you have a Grocery Outlet store close enough, check there for food storage containers. My G.O. has oodles of them, in every size.

Plastic time and heat don’t work well together sadly. Sometimes it’s just a matter of buying a more durable material

Plastic is not great. (Only 9% of plastic waste has ever been recycled.) Pyrex is very good although the lids on mine are starting to lose their snap-into-place-ness. They are several years old and maybe I can just replace the lids.

My brother had the bedspread! Happy memories!
I still have a crazy Marimekko 3-ring binder my mother gave me, in a pattern I’ve never seen. It holds family recipes, and I’m so grateful for it!

Surely there is plastic containers that last longer than 6 months

Reply to comment by CMYKoi in My collection of thrifted/secondhand BIFL shoes. Cole Haan, J&M, Allen Edmonds, Frye, R.M. Williams. My goal is to give them a second life as long as their first. by PM_ME_CORGI_PUPPERS
Johnston & Murphy shearling-lined - I was looking for a cap toe boot and found that one relatively quickly.

I’m a big fan of Danner boots. Highly recommend.

Tbh unless you're putting soup/stew in a stainless thermos, I don't think you're going to find what you're looking for. Good luck tho.

They don't stack well and they don't do too well being tossed around in a lunch box and car

That was my first thought too. But one will have to buy new lids now and again.
OP I’ve had the glass Pyrex with snap lid set from Costco for about 7 years - still almost like new (one snap broke on 1 lid). I just bought a 2nd so that I don’t run out when I freeze soup. The set comes with maybe 7 total, 4 different sizes, ~$30.
Of course there is always washing out and re-using yogurt and cottage cheese containers….

Search online at Walmart and Amazon for plastic pump bottles. Only you know what size you need.
I don't know about BIFL, they're plastic. Glass is not a good option to use in the shower.
