ChefBeckyD said:Well, my whole kit is usually in the back of my VUE. Seriously. I store it there. We have a small house, and I got tired of tripping over it, so I usually just keep it in the back of my vehicle.
So - all of the regular products I take to the show in my Consultant Tote
All of my paperwork, spices, cookbooks, and doorprize stuff in my Cranberry Striped Bag
And my stoneware tote with stones and/or SA.
ChefPaulaB said:Don't you use that stuff in your home too? I would miss all of my stuff if it lived in the car, I use it in my kitchen...
ChefBeckyD said:Fortunately, I've been doing this long enough that I have doubles of most things now. AND this past winter, I qualified to purchase the New Consultant Kit again (you can do that after 200 shows) - so I was able to get another complete kit to use.
There are a couple things that I have to go get when I need them....but it's just a few steps from my kitchen to my garage!
I actually had a recruit lead ask me last night at a show about what happens if you buy the kit, but already have most of the stuff. I told her that then you get to be one of the lucky ones that doesn't have to pack up your kitchen every time you have a show!:thumbup:

DebbieJ said:I keep old catalogs, drawing slips, Opportunity brochures, consultant agreements, current mini catalogs in my car. I always have business cards and pens in my purse and that is always with me.
koima said:I'm surprised so many people use their kit things in their own homes! My kit is all packed up and ready to go, and I've been using the products just to get used to them and putting them right back in the kit when I'm done with them! I wouldn't want everything all put away in my kitchen - I'm sure I'd forget something as I was packing to leave.
baychef said:When I first started out, I did this too. I just got lazy and wanted most of the items in my own kitchen too! Also, they used to change the color of spatulas, etc. so when they are discontinued, they go in my kitchen.
Now I am at the stage where I am growing out of my cupboards and need to let go of some things.
We suggest having a multi-purpose knife, a cutting board, a can opener, and a set of measuring cups and spoons. These basic tools can be used for a variety of food preparation tasks on the go.
The best way to keep your food and drinks cold is to invest in a portable cooler or insulated bag. You can also use frozen water bottles or ice packs to keep your items chilled.
Yes, there are plenty of non-perishable snacks that are great for keeping in your car. Some options include granola bars, nuts, dried fruit, and individual packs of crackers or cookies.
For cooking utensils, we recommend having a spatula, tongs, and a can opener. As for cookware, a small frying pan and pot can come in handy for making simple meals on the go.
To keep your car clean while cooking, we suggest using disposable plates, bowls, and utensils. You can also bring along a small trash bag to dispose of any food waste or packaging.
