We just bought a bunch of new lids for our glass containers. They are very inexpensive.

Really? We tried that about five years ago and they were very expensive (about 70% the price of getting new glassware)

Where did you buy them? Were they name brand?

At IKEA the lids cost 50% of a container + lid; inexpensive compared to the cost of a new plastic container. I bought steel containers 20 years ago and they are still going strong expensive and better value.
