I was walking in a mall some few years ago passed a kiosk about throwing parties and making money. The idea was to sell these plastic containers and kitchenware during social occasions with friends and family and collect cool things along the way and make some money. I signed on the dotted line and became a Tupperware Consultant. It was an incredible journey and while I was active as a consultant for four months of the summer while working full-time. I managed to rake in over $1600 in sales and earned many gifts for friends, family and myself. Like all good things, it started with something small.

For me, buying Tupperware just meant having containers with matching lids every time for all the sizes and things I needed them for. The containers were durable and looked beautiful when shelved neatly for all miscellaneous things. These containers battle off in styles, colours, shapes and fun. If you’re someone who can take care of their belongings and seldom lose personal items, Tupperware serves as an additional perk.

Tupperware not only helps to inspire a more pleasing space, it is also ensured by a ‘lifetime’ warrantee. If your container cracks, chips or peels; you simply go online and find a consultant near you who can help you replace your container absolutely for free by requesting the replacement order on your behalf to Tupperware. There is a manual updated annually put out by Tupperware that tracks the serial number of your container and batch that it was molded in. This manual allows consultants to be able to flawlessly get you that same exact container (possibly, in a different colour or upgraded style). Should containers be discontinued, you should be offered a dollar amount off a new order of Tupperware.

In addition to having containers and organizers for all the little things the pile up from the office to the kitchen, I found myself very spirited that summer, planning the parties, making the sales and collecting these new items and offers to give them as gifts for that year. In that time, I never found myself to be scrambling for gifts for special occasions or random social gatherings, Tupperware offers so many innovative knick-knacks that are not only be inexpensive and innovative, they are unique and served me as ice-breaking conversation pieces at every pot luck and dinner shin-dig there was that summer.

If you find yourself in a group of individuals who prefer to dapple in innovative culinary missions, these containers would be their best soldiers! Tupperware can throw you and your neighbors a party with varying themes and usages of Tupperware in everyday life or demonstrate meals that can be cooked by Tupperware and make you some money or help you start your own business working with Tupperware on your own schedule in your own time. It isn’t for everyone.

The real bite: even getting the containers alone, would save you a hefty penny or two in the long run. Since containers are meant for multi-usage, a single container can go with you to your next visit to Yan’s Wok; pack up the leftovers (saving the environment from the disposable containers), bring items home to freeze and have ready to be heated for lunch the next day or snacking at midnight – all without transferring, wasting water and time to wash and waiting for food. It makes cents, doesn’t it?
