I wish I had a nice pantry. Ours is next to the fridge so the food was spoiling from the heat. So that is the storage container/misc object storage.

I see they changed the blue color, I have a spaghetti container with a darker blue lid but I understand the frustration with discontinuing colors!
 
Another reason I'm glad not to be a TW consultant! Too many color changes to keep track of. Seasonal colors for the Twixit! clips are bad enough (and at least that's inexpensive for samples).

It is interesting to see the "similar" items they have to PC. I think their cookware is ugly (the shape)! :p
 
I don't understand it, really. At TPC, they add some goofy colors for Spring or Fall (I hope we've settled on cranberry as an official color now that it's in SA and everywhere else) but you'd think Tupperware would keep colors around for awhile. I've got modular containers that were Mom's (she died in 1991) that have pink lids, I've got some of the blue ones and now they have a different shade of blue. Arrrrgh.At least, the containers haven't changed, so the bottoms and lids are all interchangable.

As for the "r" in that word...that's already been thoroughly covered in another thread. :p

I guess I didn't even look at the price, just saw how ugly they looked. Before I was a consultant, my coworker had TW party and said her husband was looking at the knives. Luckily he didn't buy those and when I signed up she had a party for me and bought all the knives from me.

I have the flour, sugar, etc containers in cream/tan color. They don't match anything in my kitchen!

My mom was a TW lady in the 70's. She's still using some of her rust, olive green, and dark brown bowls. They aren't even microwave safe.

I do like that the shapes don't change, so if you had to you could use a new lid with an old bowl. But thinking as a consultant, the color changes have GOT to be a pain! Everyone wants to see the new colors to determine if they'll look good in their kitchen (as if things are available in a different color anyway), so the consultant has to have something in that color to take to parties.

BTW, my thought on the cranberry is that it's here to stay for a while. Even the towel set from the current catalog. Why else would a matching tablecloth be the January consultant incentive?

My cupboards are always a mess and there is no where to put certain things. I had looked at Tupperware's Modular system before and didn't want to invest that kind of money (sorry not going to have a party either). Now they are on sale (40% off). I was looking at them but without seeing them in person, I don't know what exactly to think about getting. Does anyone on here have them? Do you use them or are they a waste of space and money? For sure, I'll probably get another pasta container and cereal containers but I wasn't sure on the squares, ovals, super ovals, etc.

I did this last year to my pantry. I didn't know what sizes to get for each food so the Tupperware lady came over and went through my pantry and wrote down everything plus which container I needed. It was great. You can't afford everything all at once you can keep the list and buy a little at a time. I put labels on everything after I got them. I just did it on the computer so if I need to put something else in there then I can peel it off and replace it. The really big ones are great for sugar and flour.

You guys are all so funny. Seriously though, for most people I would at the very least recommend Modular Mates for storing things like flour, sugar, brown sugar, nuts, chocolate chips, raisins, potato chips, snack-type foods, etc. I hate having half-empty boxes and bags of stuff falling all over the pantry. Canned foods I keep elsewhere (actually on a shelf in the garage).

Again, I definitely like the rectangles and super ovals for normal size cabinets - it takes up the entire depth of the cabinet to maximize storage. I would not recommend combining squares or ovals on top of the rectangles and superovals, because you end up with little containers that will slide back and forth and it ends up getting messy again...

Secretly, I'm so glad that the MM are 40% off this month again. I was already thinking I might need some more... =)

This is my biggest issue. We have tall cabinets on top but no where to put stuff ontop of half empty boxes. Plus half the boxes you get have settled during shipping and don't take up the entire box to begin with.

I asked a coworker that had them and she was happy to hear they were on sale. I don't think I'll be having the TW lady over but I think I will get some with my PC commission! Another thing to be grateful about PC! I actually have the money to spend on them instead of putting them on a CC

It's makes perfect sense to me that a box would like...boxes!

I used their list and figured out what I would need and if I bought everything I wanted, it's like $213 before tax and shipping. Yikes! I halved what I ordered and it's like $128. I might wait on some pieces but there are several I think I want know. I'm going to email the TW lady I know and see what she says.
 
Maybe you should just host a catty show.(Hint, hint, hint.)
 
Check out the Rubbermaid "Premier" line.

Works well for me, might fit your needs too.

Click to expand...

That was my thought... I don't know what their show levels are at but if I can get something else by buying that much I'll go for it.
 
I need to look into the sale. I got a bunch of stuff a few months ago when you could buy $100/$150 worth of the storage bowls and stuff or $50. All me left overs are covered now.

I love the idea of the modulars but have never liked the prices of them.

I did a show last summer so I could get the cake plate for free. I had horrible turn out, the TW lady was boring and I had to scrounge around for enough orders for it. I had to pay shipping on my free stuff and some of the host specials were only available if you had so many bookings from your show. I was not impressed with the benefits at all.

BUT if you are spending a lot I would say do a catalog show and get what you can get for free. With your order you would only need a few more to turn it into a "show."

My TW lady has been great about letting me have guest specials that others are not using. They have a lot of if you spend xx the you can buy xx.

Jen Lee - you are AWESOME when it come to storage containers!!! I envy you!

Debbit - I wished mine looks as "bad" as you think yours does! HA!

My problem is that I have a deep pantry and so much gets pushed to the back and never used b/c it is out of sight. I have a great sized pantry I am just not pleased with how deep it is and I loose things. I will go buy more of something b/c I cannot find out, to find it the next time I clean out the pantry all the way in the back where I cannot see or reach it.

I have a TON of modular Mates and LOVE them! My entire pantry closet is filled with them floor to ceiling, plus the entire cabinet over the stove... I've never tried attaching a picture to a messaage before but if you can see the two pictures I've tried to attach here, you will have a much better idea.

I got them at 40% off last January plus a TON more than that... I had a really big party... a good friend of mine sells TW and she gives me a nice discount when I order, so if you want to order some let me know =)

I LOVE my organized pantry! I highly recommend rectangles and super ovals - they take up the entire depth of the cabinet, so no more wasted space.

Jen,
WE love your organized pantry, too!! lol

Hey, help us out, would you? Why don't you tell us what pieces you have and what they hold, then we could all organize our kitchens, too!!? lol
(I'm all about "cuttin' to the chase" here!!)

I have several different lids as well. My first Tupperware show I went to I bought the pink, then I got a country blue, then I ended up with a dark green, then got some dark blue and then my Grandmother gave me more country blue. I guess if I bought any I would have another color as well. I just try to keep the ones next to each other the same color but it doesn't always work.

Also whoever posted the chart....Thanks for the tip on the sizing chart for Modular Mates. I printed it as well. Very Handy...

I emailed the TW lady last night with some questions. She called back today and left a message for me (by the way, that's twice that she would know I do PC!). Do you know TW doesn't have a return policy if something doesn't work out for you? Only if something's wrong will they return it. Makes me really like PC's return policy
 
Great cupboards Jen! I too, love the modular mates. I have several, but because of expense, I don't have a stock of them like your beautiful cupboards.
 
There is a set on the tupperware site for 50% off, comes to $72 (I believe 13 pieces)....and my tupperware consultant is throwing in an additional 20% off (through her only). With tax/direct shipping, I paid a total of $72.34!

AMAZING! If you want to order with the extra 20% off, PM or Email me, and I will send you her info.

OK...I am NOT going to clean this up to show you...

My Dad hand made these extra large lazy susan's to put into my pantry. I used to have the same exact problem! I coudn't tell what was in the back! Now there may be a small amount of wasted space in the corners, but it sure pays off by being able to turn the lazy susan and see what I have!



Here is the top shelf (no lazy susan on this one)

Teehee!

Yeah...I love them! They are over 2 feet in diameter!! They hold a TON of stuff! I especially love the way my pans are...they would be a PITA if they were stacked clear in the back of the pantry and I couldn't get to them without breaking my back!
 
Kelly, those are neat! Do you think he could come over to my house? HA!
