Which supermarkets have the best selection of foil containers for the deep freeze, I want to make some complete dinners to keep in the freezer, but am disappointed in the choice so far of suitable containers

Do you have a home & bargain near you Julia? They usually have foil containers and plastic ones too for storage.

What about the cheap and cheerful shops?
Maybe 99p shop or poundland.
I've seen containers which would suit that purpose, although to be truthful I haven't looked in recent weeks.
They have plastic containers too that can be put in the microwave.

SRS, do you mean Home Bargains, we have one of those, but I have not been in recently. I am able to get the type that you would make plate pies and tarts etc, but I want something deeper do that I can get a full dinner in.
Thanks

Thanks all for your suggestions. I am going to try the couple of cheap shops that we have, Home Bargains, and Poundstretcher.
Thanks again

The 'Range' shops are very good for all shapes of tinfoil containers.
