<h2>5.  Burp the air and liquid tight seal!</h2>
<p>Patented in 1950, the airtight seal of Tupperware was the first of its kind.</p>
<p>Today, Tupperware keeps your food the freshest for the longest with its air and liquid (including oil!) tight seal.  Your leftovers and lunch to go will never spill all over your bag again!</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">To ensure maximum freshness, when storing food, remember to burp the seal.  Lift the tab on the lid and push down on the center to let the air out of the container and ensure that your food will be kept fresher longest.</p>

	<p class="wp-caption-text">Tupperware offers a selection of small containers great for kid (and adult) snacks, small leftovers, and taking sauces, milk and salad dressing to work.</p>
</div>
<h2>4.  Innovative Design</h2>
<p>Tupperware provides specialized solutions for different food storage options.  From the<a href="http://my2.tupperware.com/tup-html/T/tupperwaresisters-product.html"> Vent N&#8217; Serves</a> for hot leftovers that allow you to microwave with the lid on and avoid the mess to the <a href="http://my2.tupperware.com/tup-html/T/tupperwaresisters-product.html">Fridgesmarts</a> that keep produce fresher for longer than any other product, Tupperware has a design that will make your kitchen life more convenient and save you money.</p>

	<p class="wp-caption-text">Storing food and making life easier isn&#39;t all that Tupperware is good for!</p>
</div>
<h2>3.  Tupperware is Forever</h2>
<p>Made of high-quality plastics that don&#8217;t leach into food, Tupperware lasts.  To prove it, most products come with the famous Tupperware Lifetime Guarantee.</p>
<p>JenMom uses the Tupperware everyday that she bought more than thirty years ago.  The food storage options available at the drug store haven&#8217;t even been  around that long, and I&#8217;m sure you can testify, do not stand the test of  time (can we say &#8220;planned obsolescence&#8221; anyone?).  Not only is  Tupperware high quality enough to last for decades, but lost Tupperware  lids are replaceable&#8211;just contact me!</p>

	<p class="wp-caption-text">When I first discovered Tupperware, I envied my Mom&#39;s stash...most of which she&#39;d had for twenty or more years.</p>
</div>
<h2>2. COLOR!</h2>
<p>I quote Real Simple Magazine, &#8220;By surrounding yourself with bright colors&#8230;you can give yourself the needed energy boost to face the day.&#8221;</p>
<p>Each Tupperware product comes delightfully dressed with at least a splash of color.  Washing dishes isn&#8217;t my favorite, but I smile at the colors that come my way with my Tupperware collection.  Why not add some beauty to your homelife while adding quality and sophisticated design? <a href="http://my2.tupperware.com/tup-html/T/tupperwaresisters-product.html"> Tupperware does it!</a></p>

<h2>1.  Award-winning, You-centric Designs</h2>
<p>Tupperware&#8217;s been hot since the get-go and it remains innovative today.  Winner of the Good Housekeeping &#8220;Good Buy&#8221; award and named of Forutne Magazine&#8217;s &#8220;Top 25 Products of the YEar&#8221;, Flat Outs flatten when you&#8217;re finished&#8211;perfect for on-the-go and for saving space in the cabinets and dishwasher.</p>
<p>Most Tupperware is dishwasher safe, and all are designed to save you money and time!!</p>

</p><p>Tupperware designs its products with the consumer in mind.  Since it&#8217;s invention in 1946, Tupperware has been the highest quality, most durable food storage option available.  Back in the fifties, housewives would take it to the store with them to avoid using plastic bags; Tupperware has always been the greenest food storage available.  The following are the top four Tupperware products that I guarantee that with use will save you money immediately!<span id="more-2289"></span></p>
<h2><a href="http://my2.tupperware.com/tup-html/T/tupperwaresisters-product.html"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-2301" title="flatouts" src="http://www.jenniferheller.com/v2/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/flatouts1.png" alt="" width="252" height="185" /></a><a href="http://my2.tupperware.com/tup-html/T/tupperwaresisters-product.html" target="_blank">Flat Outs</a> (on sale today!)</h2>
<p>Flat Outs are one of my all-time favorites. Each one flattens for easy storage.  They are ideal for taking your lunch to work, and for homes with limited storage options.</p>
<p>I use the 4 cup size (<a href="http://my2.tupperware.com/tup-html/T/tupperwaresisters-product.html">available separately in sets of two</a>) for taking leftovers or a large salad to go (wonderful for taking your lunch to work!).  The best part about them is that if you take one to go and flatten it after you eat, on the way home you have far less to carry back home.  Eat healthier and save money along the way!</p>
<p>Carry a small one in your purse or bag for leftovers from restaurants and be the greenest on your block!</p>
<p>Flat Outs can be washed in the dishwasher flat (I wish I had a dishwasher <img src='http://www.jenniferheller.com/v2/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  ) and when stored flat take up hardly any storage space at all.  The set of six fits conviently in their accompanying storage unit which can be mounted to a wall.  Flat Outs are not microwave safe (see below).</p>
<p style="text-align: right;"><a href="http://my2.tupperware.com/tup-html/T/tupperwaresisters-product.html">Buy now at my Tupperware store!</a></p>
<h2><a href="http://my2.tupperware.com/tup-html/T/tupperwaresisters-product.html"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-2302" title="ventnserve" src="http://www.jenniferheller.com/v2/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/ventnserve.png" alt="" width="252" height="185" /></a><a href="http://my2.tupperware.com/tup-html/T/tupperwaresisters-product.html">Vent N&#8217; Serves</a> (on sale today!)</h2>
<p>Vent N&#8217; Serves are made for hot leftovers.  They have this little pull tab on top that opens an air vent; this allows the steam to escape when you are microwaving.  You can microwave them with the lid on!  Never have a mess of splattered chili, soup or Thai food all over your microwave again!</p>
<p>Vent N&#8217; Serves come in varying sizes to fit your needs: Large ones for family-sized leftovers; individual sizes for taking your lunch to work.  Around here, we like to make large batches of soup or chili, freeze and store the leftovers; we wind up eating twenty meals for the price of two out.</p>
<p>Use these to take cold leftovers for work too (just no need to microwave-ha!).</p>
<p>When you feel the solid construction of these microwave containers, you will never microwave your leftovers in a drug-store bought food storage option again!</p>
<p style="text-align: right;"><a href="http://my2.tupperware.com/tup-html/T/tupperwaresisters-product.html">Buy now at my Tupperware store!</a></p>
<h2><a href="http://my2.tupperware.com/tup-html/T/tupperwaresisters-product.html"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-2304" title="fridgesmart" src="http://www.jenniferheller.com/v2/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/fridgesmart.png" alt="" width="252" height="147" /></a><a href="http://my2.tupperware.com/tup-html/T/tupperwaresisters-product.html">Fridgesmart Containers</a> (on sale today!)</h2>
<p>KEEP YOUR PRODUCE FRESHER FOR LONGER.  Seriously. If that&#8217;s not money in the wallet, I don&#8217;t know what is.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve been using Fridgesmart Containers for years, and let me tell you: A bag of lettuce lasts at least twice as long.  Once in awhile I&#8217;m lazy and I don&#8217;t transfer a bag of TJs baby mix to my Fridgesmart container and without fail, it goes bad within three days instead of lasting a week and a half minimum.</p>
<p>Carrots and celery will last for practically ever.</p>
<p>Fridgesmart Containers have these air vents and a ribbed bottom that allow air to flow around your veggies, which keeps them from going bad (I&#8217;m not too informed on the science but I guarantee they work!).</p>
<p>The larger models have imprinted on the side a chart that tells you how much air different veggies require (there are two vents&#8211;use one for lettuce, two for celery; who knew?!).</p>
<p>The medium sized Fridgesmarts are the perfect size for a bag of lettuce or spinach from TJs.  The smallest one is good for berries or mushrooms.  The largest one I fill with celery, carrots, daikon, green onions&#8230;  all of my salad veggies.  Then I just grab it and the medium one full of lettuce, chop and boom!  I have a salad.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Please note:  The large round container is FREAKING HUGE and you don&#8217;t need it unless you need to store six or so artichokes regularly.</p>
<p style="text-align: right;"><a href="http://my2.tupperware.com/tup-html/T/tupperwaresisters-product.html">Buy now at my Tupperware store!</a></p>
<h2><a href="http://my2.tupperware.com/tup-html/T/tupperwaresisters-product.html" target="_blank"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-2303" title="freezermates" src="http://www.jenniferheller.com/v2/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/freezermates.png" alt="" width="252" height="185" /></a><a href="http://my2.tupperware.com/tup-html/T/tupperwaresisters-product.html">Freezer Mates</a> (on sale today!)</h2>
<p>Save money by preparing large batches of food and storing it in these conveniently-sized freezer mates.  I recommend chili or bean soup&#8211;easy to make, delicious and cheap.  Freezer Mates are also good for general leftover storage in the fridge.</p>
<p>Their modular size maximizes space and allows them to stack easily in your fridge and freezer. Like all Tupperware, the air tight seal with extend the life of food.  Clear containers let you know what&#8217;s inside.</p>
<p>Freezer Mates&#8217; rounded corners allow the frozen food to slip right out and into your waiting pot.  Warm meals for one or six in minutes!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a class="post_image_link" href="http://www.jenniferheller.com/2010/05/comcastic/" title="Permanent link to comcastic"><img class="post_image alignleft" src="http://www.jenniferheller.com/v2/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/johnstewart.png" width="300" height="222" alt="Post image for comcastic" /></a>
</p><p>Today I was surfing the internets as one does, and came across an article in <a href="http://consumerist.com/2010/05/watch-out-for-comcasts-phantom-office-charge.html" target="_blank">consumerist</a> about a mystery fee that Comcast apparently leverages on customers in order to have the customers contact them and complain.  Apparently the fee is only leveraged on accounts whose initial offer of discounted prices has expired.  If I understand it correctly, it&#8217;s a flag for the customer support representative so they will know to raise that person&#8217;s monthly cost.</p>
<p><span id="more-1598"></span></p>
<p>So this raises all sorts of red flags about Comcast as a company.  With all the money Comcast is making, why aren&#8217;t they keeping better  track of the people&#8217;s whose initial offers expired?  From a business  perspective that&#8217;s just ludicrous. I&#8217;ve myself had to call about mystery charges of minimal amounts (though they never raised the price of my service as a result).  I can&#8217;t stand how they waste their money on direct mail advertising to me, someone who is already their customer (for internet anyway).</p>
<p>All these thoughts ran through my mind today when I read that article, but the main one that stuck was: The Daily Show might be back from vacation*, Mad Men is going to start soon, and we have spent weeks mulling over and still haven&#8217;t picked a cable option!</p>
<p>I read the article, then turned to Will, and said, &#8220;Why don&#8217;t we just go with Comcast since we already have their internet set up and the $99 initial offer is one of the better ones we have been considering?&#8221;</p>
<p>He agreed, and I called Comcast, had a five minute conversation with the costumer service rep and wound up with an appointment for the technician to come out Friday at 7:30 am.  I couldn&#8217;t resist sneaking in a quip about the lack of other options, which I know will get me nowhere in finding a local business with reputable values to support.</p>
<p>Apparently I am terrifyingly proof that all PR is good PR.</p>
<p>*We know we can watch the Daily Show online, FYI.  We like the tv better, ok?</p>
