Let's talk about why you want to customize, organize, sanitize and modularize your kitchen storage.

I know you're busy with family, work, travel, hobbies and life.  It's quite possible that your full schedule means that your kitchen storage doesn't get the attention it needs.  Disorganization can be frustrating and can lead to feeling overwhelmed and out of control. (Not to mention wasted time, space & money.)

A little organization can make a world of difference!  Do your kids or husband constantly ask "Mom! Where's the cereal, crackers, whatever"?  Are you constantly out of things you need to prepare a meal?  What if you could open your kitchen cabinets or pantry, take a look, and make a shopping list in less than 5 minutes?  Now that's organized! 

Have you ever found 3 packages of opened brown sugar, all hard as a rock?  Worse yet, you're ready to bake and there's no baking powder, ugh!  Or here's my favorite, the cracker box with 2 stale crackers in the bottom!

Now if that's frustrating, how about BUGS!?! 

Did you know that most of the bugs you find in your cupboards and pantry hitch-hiked home from the grocery store?  Think about this: Where does the grocery actually store boxes, bags & bottles before they get to the shelves?  That's right, a warehouse.  And try as they might to keep things clean (they do don't they?),  critters just happen in places like that.  What's more, the glue used in food packaging is usually grain/starch-based, for safety's sake.  Guess who just loves that?  Bugs do, of course.  They eat a little, drag their 6 little shoes through it, and even lay their eggs there!  Do you REALLY want those boxes in your kitchen?  If you do happen to bring home an infested product, if you put it in a Tupperware Modular Mate®, it will contain the pest and keep it from spreading into everything else.

Buying in bulk saves money.  Knowing what you have on hand, saves time.  Modular containers that fit YOUR cupboards, pantry, boat or RV, save space.  THAT's why I love Tupperware Modular Mates®!

C'mon back on Thursday and we'll learn about how to customize the containers to your space,  That's Modular Math!

Organizing Your Kitchen - Part 1

Today, I am beginning a series on organizing your kitchen. I’ll be focusing on 4 specific areas, using Tupperware’s 4 basic systems:

1. FridgeSmart® Containers – A system to keep produce fresh longer
2. Modular Mates® Containers – Virtually air-tight, modular pantry storage
3. Microwave Cookware & Reheatable Containers
4. TupperLiving™ Products – Lifestyle enhancers & sustainable/reusable products to replace toss away items

Why organize your refrigerator?
1. Energy savings – your refrigerator & your freezer both perform more efficiently when full.
2. No UFOs (unidentified food objects, AKA science projects)
3. Less waste – if it’s easily accessed, it’ll get used.
4. Save $$ - did you know that the average family discards approximately $600 of spoiled fruits & vegetables a year?

Still not convinced?

An organized home contributes to a sense of calm & well-being! In the case of the kitchen, where we spend a fair amount of time, it can make meal planning & preparation so much easier!

Tupperware’s FridgeSmart® Containers have an innovative venting system that allows produce to breathe, keeping them fresh longer. Each container has two buttons that can be opened/closed to customize the airflow in the container.

For example:
Low (both vents closed) – Asparagus, carrots, ripe berries
Medium (one vent open) – Beans, cabbage, lettuce
High (both vents open) – Broccoli, peas, sweet corn



The containers have a ridged bottom that allows any condensation or moisture to collect in the bottom of the container while holding the produce above the liquid. When fruit & vegetables sit in collected moisture, they spoil faster. The tops of the containers are textured so that they don’t slip when stacked on top of one another. And unlike the plastic bags being sold for the same process, they aren't toss aways. If the container fails, it gets returned & recycled. I have had mine for 4+ years.

The chart for setting the vents by produce type is integrated into the side of the container, so it’s always handy. The containers are sheer enough to see what is inside.

Because these containers are virtually airtight with both vents closed, I also use then for storing lunchmeats and cheese.

Here’s a photo of the inside of my refrigerator. As you can see, the modular design of the containers allows me to fit a ton of stuff in my side by side.

Another way you can save/organize space is to put all the jars, and small containers in your “slime” drawers. I mark the top of some jars that aren’t easily recognizable with a Sharpie.

I have kept broccoli for 6 weeks, even fresh strawberries for 5 days before they started getting mushy! These FridgeSmart® Containers will save you money and help you to eat healthier meals, full of great, fresh produce.

You can shop for them now by clicking either the catalog or the “Shop Now” icon in the right sidebar.

Next, I’ll be telling you all about Tupperware’s Modular Mates® Containers. How cool would it be to have your pantry staples stored in airtight (bug-proof) containers, and organized into 6 “centers”?
