I found it at a Value Village store for $2.99. I've seen little fridgies of this size at VV before, but in such varying conditions (and yet STILL the same price) that I was happy to scoop this little guy up. The red is faded in some areas, but it's mostly bright, shiny, and comes with a glass lid.
I love this little size because it's perfect for storing small leftover portions. I also use it sometimes for holding garlic cloves on the countertop. =)
I hope all our neighbours down to the South have a wonderful Thanksgiving Weekend!
Linking up to Colorado Lady's Vintage Thingie Thursday!
The red fridgie was my first, and so far only one, in my fridgie collection. I am working on building a primary colors set. It's hard to be patient and not buy a set on ebay or etsy, but I also don't want to pay those kind of prices! So I will patiently wait to find them at Goodwill or a yard sale :)
ReplyDeleteThese are hard to find with the lids, good work!
Very cute, I never see too many of the super small ones like that. Wish I did, so I could pick them up. They are great for mini loafs of spiced bread.
ReplyDeleteYes, mini loafs! I think making mini Cinnamon Banana Bread loafs in these fridgies would make for nice Christmas treats.
ReplyDeleteI do see these every now and again but they're usually in really rough shape. The Primary Pyrex set is definitely one of my classic faves. I use my blue loaf-pan-shaped fridgie the most.
I love fridgies!! I have yet to find a red one in as good condition as yours.
ReplyDeleteI keep a mini with tea bags in it, and the next size up with butter in it, both on a lazy susan next to the stove.
ps - that's a really old original fridgie lid!
I'm using one right now - fruit for breakfast!! They're just the best size!
ReplyDeleteI have two like this that I inherited from my mother-in-law. They are very old.
ReplyDeleteI like this size good for two meat loaf or any kind of dish. I like pyrex too!

I love these dishes. I grin every time I see the fridgies at the secondhand shops.
ReplyDeleteI found a couple of those. I have too much stuff so I'm trying to sell mine on etsy. When I was a kid I had a set of toy plastic fridge dishes. They were red, yellow, and (I think) blue, complete with pyrex looking lids. Now THOSE I would love to find sometime. Those are very useful dishes to have.
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving weekend!
i just got my first fridgie last weekend! i love that size for storing stuff in the fridge but i always see them for ten bucks and for me that is tooooo much.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to find a second one of these so I have a pair. I saw a one in terrible condition once for $5 and had to pass. It had been through the dishwasher several times. Sad.
