Thanks to Vanessa who referred me to her great TW Lady who is being so helpful!! Thanks Vanessa!!:thumbup:

This is what her and her manager have put together for me to start with:

Tower (13pc set) $72
Spaghetti Dispenser $6.30
Oval set (set of 5) $28.80
Reg cereal container (13 cup capacity) $8.70
2 oval #3's $6.30 each = $12.60
Square # 1 $7.80
Square # 2 $8.40

What do you people who are already organized think? I want ALL of it but am having to do some talking to myself to spend the money!:D Hopefully, I will get money for my birthday Sunday and will not be spending my "own."

Give me your opinions!:p
 
I inherited a bunch of tupperware from my mom who sold it ... I wouldn't call myself organized.Nice of them to recommend such a long, costly list of items.I have to say I have cereal containers and almost never use them. Can't do without the spaghetti keeper, though, because my spaghetti comes in containers that don't close!I'd do what you tell everyone to do with PC ... if your wish list is longer than your budget, have a party and earn free product!
 
Awesome Jennifer. And if you ask Michele she can email or send you a chart that has all tupperware sizes (round, oval, square) and what size fits what food product. Its quite helpful.

Like I said I had a show in October, so I already have some of the square tubs right now. And the tower set was an great deal, I couldnt pass up!

Glad its working out for you!!! (Happy birthday to you!)
 
I LOVE Tupperware (not as much as I love PC but you know!).
I love to open my pantry and see how organized it is!
My only complaint though..and it is a small one from a very OCD type, is that my lids do not match. I currently have green and tan lids and they do not carry either of those colors anymore! I am debating on what to add to my collection since they are on sale but the whole lid thing freaks me out! LOL!!
 
If you don't want to spend a lot, start with the spag dispenser and the tower special. I am also partial to the squares for my flour and sugar and stuff.I would pass on the cereal containers if you're looking to save money for now.
 
Make sure that you need all the pieces in the set. It is a big set. I looked at it, my neighbor sells, and I thought it had a lot of containers I wouldn't use. When I redid my pantry this summer I (I meaning my nice organized friend), made a diagram of the pieces and what would go in each one that I ordered. It helped immensely!!!

I hope that helps you. Let me know if you have anymore questions. I need to order more pieces while they are still on sale.

She did send me the chart. And her and her manager both called me last night on a conference.This is what her manager recommended for me to get.

I think I probably will pass on the cereal container b/c Michelle said she would throw in a pour all seal for me to use on one of the ovals.

I am just I don't need all of i but then I really do not know. But with the sale being so good and all I want to get what I need now while it does not cost so much! HA!

That is one reason I want to get all that I need now. That way it will all match. Russell told me to go ahead and get it all if I wanted it. Of course, he is teasing me that I am about to make our cabinets "anal" the way I do my paycheck each week for our weekly money!:D

Thanks!

I am pretty sure I am going to go ahead and get it all. With Russell and my parents, I have $110 in cash along with my gifts so far. My in-laws will be over later, ha!
 
My only comment would be is it in your budget, which you just said it was. I have tupperware and use it...not all religiously, but use it. I like my spaghetti container - have had that for about 15 years. I go back and forth using my cereal container...better off with the box and PC Twix-it clips. I do use one for brown sugar though.

Enjoy your stuff!!!!
