Each of the smaller containers having a bottom wall of substantially the same dimensions with a portion of the bottom wall forming an upwardly extending indentation. The small containers are formed with upwardly opening walls and have lids releasably engageable with the bottom. The larger container lid having a flat upper surface which is sized to hold at least two of the smaller containers, and having structures to position one, and to position two smaller containers against sliding movement on said flat upper surface such that whether one container or two containers, the smaller containers are balanced about a central axis of the larger container and lid.
