Tupperware Product Spotlight: Volume 2.0

8 Dec

I picked this week’s product because it’s perfect for entertaining. With the holiday’s in full swing, I’m sure most of you will be going to parties, and some of you might even be hosting a few. I hosted 17 for Thanksgiving and the Serving Center Set was an huge help in a stress free party for me.


The possibilities for the Serving Center Set range from appetizers, right through to desserts. For my Turkey Day event, I used it for a fruit tray at dessert. I was able to prepare my tray that morning and store it in the fridge until dessert, can’t get much fresher than that. Had I gone to my local grocery store I would have paid anything from $20-$35 for a fruit tray. With the store bought tray I wouldn’t have been able to select the kind of fruit I wanted and it wouldn’t have even come with the delicious dip I am so fond of. It also looks a lot nicer than those tacky black plastic trays. 

As you can see in the photo above, it works great for a cheese, olive and cracker tray. The Serving Center Set is obviously awesome for veggies trays too, it’s really only limited to your imagination. 

One of my favorite features about the Serving Center Set is the removable dip bowl. The bowl has it’s own seal, so your dips stay fresh and yummy. The bowl (not the seal) is also microwavable, for reheating warm dips. I had some leftover fruit dip, so I just popped it out of the Serving Center, slapped the seal on and tossed it in the fridge for later. It’s much better than having to scrape leftovers out of a tray into something else, or even worse, throwing them away. 

Another nifty little feature of the Serving Center Set is the cover. Need to bring a veggie tray to a party? Not a problem, make it up, put the cover on and it’s ready to travel to Grandma’s house. It’s very sturdy, so no need to worry about it collapsing or falling off along the way. Or, you can cover your tray and leave it in the fridge until party time, and don’t worry about stacking stuff on top to make room, it can handle it. Oh, and this cover it’s just for covering. Need to keep your veggie tray cold while at the party? Fill the cover with ice and place the Serving Center on top. Now your veggies will stay cool and fresh for hours.

*As a small side note, please ignore the messy kitchen in the background. 

We all know how much I LOVE to save money, and in this economy stretching a dime has gotten more important than ever. I kind of hinted at it before, but the Serving Center Set is going to save you money on those store bought trays. I spent a fraction of what I would have spent had I gone to my local grocer for my Thanksgiving tray. For an investment of $39.50 (+ tax & shipping), you can save a fortune on the various trays you would buy at the store for entertaining and you’ll have much greater control over what goes into your trays. You’ll have a nice way to store and serve at your parties too. I say investment since Tupperware products come with a lifetime guarantee, buy it now, use it forever. Who knows, maybe your grandchildren will be using your Serving Center Set someday. 

Here’s the deal of the week: Get 10% off (after shipping and tax) your very own Serving Center Set. This deal is only for orders placed directly through me, it does not apply to online orders. Offer valid until December 15, 2010. Email me to place an order at MyLifeInMommyland@me.com

I am also running a two day sale on shipping: FREE shipping on all orders of $50 or more from now until 8pm (est) on Friday, December 10, 2010. Again, online orders are not eligible. 

Stay tuned for more exciting products from Tupperware.

TupperWhere?

1 Dec

I’ve been trying to get back to my daily blogging for months now. I’m still struggling with Cameron’s afternoon preschool schedule. I’m still settling in at the new house. And I’m still trying not to lose my mind.

I’m sure I’ve mentioned that I’ve started selling Tupperware, so I thought that pairing my love for plastic storage and my love of the blogging world together it would help me get back on the wagon. I’m going (to attempt) to do a weekly product spotlight for me to share with you my favorite things. I might even throw in a special deal now and again.

So here we go!

Tupperware Product Spotlight: Volume 1.0


By far, hands down, my most favorite product is ANYTHING FridgeSmart.

Let’s learn a horrible fact of life, and I think this fact is even more true for those of us with children. The average family throws away $400 worth of produce a year. WOW! That’s about what I spend a month on ALL my groceries. Since I’ve started using my FridgeSmart, I haven’t thrown out anything. These things are AMAZING! I don’t think I’ve ever been in love with a piece of plastic before, but I am certainly in love now.

Let’s see how they work…

On the front are these funny little nostril like things.



Both nostrils closed is great for things like berries, carrots, celery, button mushrooms (and much more).








One nostril open keeps your apples, citrus, peppers, herbs (and much more) fresh and yummy.










Heavy breathers, like broccoli, corn, peas, (and much more) prefer both nostrils open.

The funny little nostrils aren’t the only thing that make the FridgeSmart so effective. There are also these ridges along the bottom. Before I knew any better I thought they were for decoration… wrong again.

Pop quiz: What two things help your produce to spoil?

You guessed it, air (which was taken care of with the nostrils), and moisture.

Those ridges aren’t just to make the FridgeSmart look pretty, they help get the moisture away from your food. If your strawberries aren’t sitting in a puddle of their own moisture, they’re going to last a lot longer.

How much longer you ask? At least twice as long. I can honestly say I’ve had blueberries in there for just shy of a month and they were still yummy and delicious. I forgot about a bunch of grapes that got pushed to the back of the refrigerator and they were still sweet and juicy when I found them a couple weeks later.

It did take my mind a little while to get used to the fact that I was eating fruit that had been in my fridge so long. At first it didn’t seem natural to be able to eat the same strawberries I bought two weeks ago, I almost chucked them on principle (but I didn’t).

Getting back to those nostrils for a second…

You might be thinking, “How do I know which produce likes what kind of air?” Well, they come with a handy dandy cheat sheet that you can hide inside a cabinet near your fridge. But even better, it’s printed right on the side of your piece of FridgeSmart. Oh, and that’s not washing off, no matter how much you wash them. The chart you see below is laminated between two sheets of plastic.

The most important thing you need to remember when using your FridgeSmart is that you need to put your produce in them naked (that means don’t wash it first). Wash what you need when you need it, because remember, moisture is one of the major spoilers of your produce. 
Because I love my FridgeSmart and I want you to have some that you can love too, I am offering a special deal for any of you who want to order your own set of FridgeSmart.
A four piece set of FridgeSmart (which will give you a great start) will set you back $69.50 (+$11.45 shipping + your state sales tax). For any of you who want your own set, I will give you 20% off (after shipping and tax). If you need anything else, I will give you 10% off the rest of your order. Go here to shop around and see what you like. This discount is only valid for orders placed directly through me, and it’s only good until December 8, 2010. Email me at MyLifeInMommyland@me.com with your order or any questions. 
Not interested in my deal? Tupperware is offering FREE SHIPPING on all orders of $99 or more until December 12, 2010.
