Q: Why are food storage containers so damn expensive in China?
Answers (2)
Comments (1)
Perhaps my MIL's logic will shed some light on this:
Cook food fresh.
Put left-over food in the fridge as to not waste food.
Refuse to eat left-over food because it's not fresh.
Throw it away.
Never any use for storage containers, especially when most food in take-out.
Rare purchases = high price (just like deodorant!)

I would theorize that it is the cost of making them from plastic. It is only a theory. But, most plastic goods cost more than other things made from other materials.

Right. Now you have to explain why similar products made of similar material, and made in China, are cheaper in the West than in their country of origin.
