Well, everyone I’m going to do it.\u00a0 I’m going to have a Tupperware Party.\u00a0 And guess what!\u00a0 You can come!\u00a0 Or you can virtually come that is since the majority of the party is online!\u00a0 Here is the link! \ud83d\ude42\u00a0 Sorry that you\u00a0 have to copy\/paste.<\/p>\n

See I can practically sell Tupperware myself since I used to be a Tupperware Rep when I was a new mother in North Carolina.\u00a0 And I know how well my favorites work.\u00a0 They work amazing. \u00a0 And I prefer to save money in the long run by NOT buying a lot of Ziplock bags and plastic wrap!\u00a0 And I like this better than Rubbermaid or any of the other plastic storage items you can buy because of durability and design.\u00a0 At least for my three favorite items.\u00a0 These three Tupperware pieces have become a necessity in keeping me organized.\u00a0\u00a0 Because I buy bulk at Costco and making that last can either over-fill my freezer\/fridge or end up rotting before I manage to eat it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>But when I buy meat or shredded cheese in bulk it is a huge time saver in addition to be a money saver.\u00a0 So I’ll buy pork chops in bulk and get 9.\u00a0 I’ll prep all of them, freeze 3 each in 2 medium shallow Freezer Mates and cook 3.\u00a0 That’s two more meals all prepped and ready to cook.\u00a0 And the medium size is all you really need & they sell that in a set! Its perfect.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>That is for the freezer.\u00a0 For the refrigerator I cannot live without my FridgeSmarts.\u00a0 These items are brilliant for produce.\u00a0 When I lived in Ft. Irwin Army base, we got pretty crappy produce.\u00a0 After all we were 40 miles into the desert from Barstow which was already in the edges of nowhere.\u00a0 While the commissary was cheap.. well, selection not so good.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

My filled Tupperware<\/p><\/div>\n

One time I bought some pretty sketchy looking yellow squash, put it in my FridgeSmart container meaning to cook it the next day.\u00a0 I completely forgot and expected it rotted when I opened it a few days later but it was actually in better condition that when I bought it!\u00a0 I am not lying!<\/p>\n

Anyway, these are the container where I store all my produce that I bulk buy.\u00a0 If its snack fruit I’ll wash and prep it into a container.\u00a0 If its veggies I’m going to cook I’ll just load up the containers.\u00a0 And when I do a salad up, I do it for the week in a large container and then portion out what I need for each day.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

First Snack Tray<\/p><\/div>\n

For example.\u00a0 I’ve been using my Tupperware serving tray to load up fruits and veggie snacks for my two kids in summer school.\u00a0 They’ll come home and snack on THAT instead of heading straight to the cereal.\u00a0 And I do this easily cuz most of the stuff is already in containers, washed and ready to go.\u00a0 This way my portion blind middle son will eat a portion of mixed food instead of the entire container of grapes!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Tray 2 gets celery with peanut butter<\/p><\/div>\n

So my sons will get their servings of fruit & veggies every day.\u00a0 And the kid who has pulled the chore stick “Mom’s General Assistant” is the one who helps me do the next day’s tray that night.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Cheese & crackers for this one but crackers got soft \ud83d\ude41<\/p><\/div>\n

But its the FridgeSmart’s make this pretty easy.\u00a0 Of course so does the serving tray and I might be able to lay my hands on another one or two that are shallow like mine.\u00a0 But the extra beauty of these FridgeSmarts is they fit perfectly in a refrigerator.\u00a0 My entire bottom row in my fridge is lined with them.\u00a0 They stack nicely.\u00a0 And if I’m going to the beach I’ll just grab a container of grapes or fruit and pop it into a bag… snacks ready to go.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The last item I cannot live without is the Microwave squares.\u00a0 The new type is called Vent N Serve but its just as great at my old Rock N Serve sets.\u00a0 All the sizes are incredibly handy but the medium shallow & deep will become your favorites.\u00a0 These are the best leftover containers out there.\u00a0 Because they are safe microwave plastic.\u00a0 The small is a perfect single serving and the medium is ideal in almost any other situation.\u00a0 I’d do a giant pot of rice and put the leftovers into two medium deep and then when I need rice for a meal I’ll just throw it into the microwave for 4 or 5 minutes and “BAMM”\u00a0 carbs for dinner. \u00a0 And these stack and travel well and you can see what’s in them.\u00a0 I adore mine.<\/p>\n

Which is why I’m having the party.\u00a0\u00a0 I need more as the Ex got some of them in the divorce!<\/p>\n
