mid-march flyer: deals and pwps

so the big ticket item for the new mid-march flyer that starts on march 13: crystalwave!

not one dish or two dishes for reheating your leftovers in the microwave...TEN crystalwave containers! the one you see above holds about 4 1/2 cups (or 3L) and costs $24.50 usually. how about one of those, another one the same size but not divided, two 2L containers, two 1.5L containers and then four 1L which are perfect for sending to school or work with leftovers to be reheated! how about all TEN for only $68.50?!?! whaaat? that's less than $7 a container!

then we have pwps...ah yes - pwp. if you've been following this blog or tupperware for any length of time, you'll remember that pwp means purchase with purchase. this is one of my favourite parts of the monthly flyers. if you're already buying this much, you can get THIS for a crazy deal!

so let's say you're buying the crystalwave for $68.50. with a $60 purchase, you can purchase the "fresh & cool" set of three containers for your fridge door for just $16.50! these containers are cute, green containers to put whatever you like in - herbs, cherries, sour cream, you name it. there's a 2-cup, a 4 1/2cup, and a 6 1/2 cup. making more space for you by fitting into your door.

or let's say you're getting the crystalwave for $68.50 plus the set of waterbottles (more on those tomorrow). with an $80 purchase, you can get the family set of the freezer mates for only $24.50! this set is normally $45 and worth every penny!

oooh...this is a GOOD flyer! more about the mid march tupperware flyer later this week. think about who you can invite to your party between march 13 - april 9th.

new flyer...

it's on my dining room table...waiting to be posted about...

but you'll have to wait until tomorrow.

it's a gooder though.

if you're a fan of red...

this towel set is headed out as of march 12th. i'll be putting in an order on the 11th if you're interested.

neoprene oven mitt

so i posted about this spring set the other day but today, my neoprene oven mitt came in the mail and i tried it out immediately. considering my current oven mitt has a hole right where the thumb meets the hand and i've withstood many a minor burn there, i love my new oven mitt! i thought maybe the fact that it's not the same shape as your typical oven mitts are, that it might make maneuvering items out of the oven more cumbersome. it doesn't. in fact, your thumb works just the same in this mitt as the others. and this one goes quite high up your arm for when your depth perception fails you and you lift your arm up before it's out of the oven. (i've withstood many a burn on my forearms as well...it's why i don't bake a lot...) also, stuff is still hot through my old oven mitts. you can't hold on to it for too too long but this neoprene is really something. yep, loving the mitt. only $18.75!

party benefits!

for any tupperware parties before march 19th, there will be NO SHIPPING! and as a bonus for hosts, there also won't be any TAX! woohoo! how about i throw in a medium fridgesmart with the deal too?

there's a new catalog out and until march 12th, you can buy from EITHER catalog! and the new flyer (which you can keep up to date on those specials here...soon) is starting march 13th.

rice in the microwave...among other things...

there are so many tupperware products that it's not always possible as a new consultant to try out every one of them. however, last night at our business rally, another consultant demoed tupperware's microwave rice cooker. she made a quinoa (pronounced keen-wa) recipe. i couldn't believe how fast and easy this recipe was AND of course, clean-up is much easier when there's no burnt rice on the bottom of the pot. (or in this case, quinoa) 13 minutes in the microwave and we had this yummy taste test. here's the recipe:

Chef Stuart’s Cucumber and Green Pepper Quinoa

Quinoa is a gluten free grain making it the perfect food for those who cannot tolerate gluten so prevalent in wheat and many other grains. Quinoa seeds have a soap like coating called saponin, and even if they have been washed before you purchase them, they need to be thoroughly washed to remove any remaining residue. An effective method is to run cold water over quinoa that has been placed in a fine-meshed strainer, gently rubbing the seeds together with your hands. To ensure that the saponins have been completely removed, taste a few seeds. If they have a bitter taste, continue the rinsing process.

Serves 4

Ingredients

4 cups water
2 cups quinoa
1/2 tbsp. salt
½ English cucumber, cut into 2" pieces
½ green bell pepper, quartered
1 tbsp. red wine vinegar
1 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
salt and pepper to taste

Let’s cook!

1. Put water, quinoa and salt in Tupperware® Microwave Rice Maker and microwave for 13 minutes.

2. While the quinoa is cooking, put cucumber and green bell pepper in the Quick Chef with the blade using attachment and lightly turn the handle a few times to get a rough chop.

3. Remove cooked quinoa from the microwave and using the Double Colander, drain the quinoa.

4. Put quinoa, cucumber, bell pepper, red wine vinegar and olive oil in an 8 ¾-cup/2.1 L Wonderlier® Bowl and stir using Saucy Silicone Spatula until well combined. Season to taste.

trading tumblers

remember my idea about having a smoothie party? that set of 4 tumblers is headed out of the catalog. each one comes with a recipe for a different fruit smoothie. the seals are virtually-liquid tight which really makes it a travel smoothie cup...4 for $30.50

taking it's place? a set of 6 "eco" tumblers - each one with a different design of an endangered animal. they're quite pretty in real life. great for on the go and i'm sure they can also hold smoothies. these are...wait a sec...a better deal than the ones above...6 for $36.50. so about $6 each with a lifetime warranty.
