The containers I have seal well enough to keep cereal crisp even during the rainy season and during the hot and humid "monsoon" season we often have during July. 

I had some little coin-sized snack crackers in one for several weeks and they remained crispy right to the end.  Better than when they are kept in the boxes in which they are sold.

Here's the double one.


The single one is on loan to a neighbor who is having a party tomorrow afternoon.  She is using it for Chex mix.

JD, I saw those dispensers at The Waiters Friend at The Hunter Valley last weekend and couldn't work out how to use them.

You will have to let me know how you go with them Judy.

Love those little men Frozzie and your dispensers Andie.

Andies were great but too big for what I wanted Kim.  Needed something small that could sit on a table in the lounge within reach of Geoff for whenever he wanted a snack of healthy nuts.  I always buy him the salted millionaires mix from Charlesworth Nuts.

Probably there was absolutely no need for yet another Christmas tree at our place but I made one today with pleasing results.  The bon bons on the left are filled with goodies - Christmas gifts for 2 families

The single ones don't take up a lot of space and there are ones with smaller footprints.  Like this one that holds about have a box of cereal - mine holds a full box - regular size.

Also check for "candy dispensers" because they are smaller.
