I've never owned any actual Tupperware, but I'm sure it's worth the price.sixty-fivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09090577882983539958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33304501.post-1158885348894231782006-09-21T19:35:00.000-05:002006-09-21T19:35:00.000-05:00I prefer to "Ferment" my food for a touch of class...I prefer to "Ferment" my food for a touch of class.AlexanderTheGreathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10675161134030716281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33304501.post-1158861984349460922006-09-21T13:06:00.000-05:002006-09-21T13:06:00.000-05:0065- Are you talking about storing leftovers in gla...65- Are you talking about storing leftovers in glass jars versus bowls w/Saran wrap?<BR/><BR/>I'm not a Tupperware person, by any means, but I did get one of their FridgeSmart Containers as a gift and I think I'm going to buy more; I can't believe how fresh and LONG my produce has been lasting.<BR/><BR/>http://order.tupperware.com/coe/app/tup_show_item.show_item_detail?fv_item_category_code=18002Catehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138717390215817390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33304501.post-1158812148801123522006-09-20T23:15:00.000-05:002006-09-20T23:15:00.000-05:00I was going to mention that NYT article too.

I am learning in my dotage that one of the best tips for saving $$ is to STORE foods carefully so they last longer. The Wall St Journal did a recent test showing that ziploc bags performed best for storing fresh produce, and there was a Chowhound test where glass jars came out ahead. I would say that the WORST results would come from keeping things in little bowls covered (or not) with saran wrap, my MO for years.sixty-fivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09090577882983539958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33304501.post-1158678491159302962006-09-19T10:08:00.000-05:002006-09-19T10:08:00.000-05:00When I was in graduate school we would for long pe...When I was in graduate school we would for long periods do what we called "20 dollar shopping," which meant buying groceries for the whole week without spending more than that. We would look for sales on meat and buy inexpensive cuts, bake all of our own bread, have several vegetarian meals or egg-based meals per week, and so on. We actually ate very well, and didn't do it because we strictly had to. We enjoyed the challenge! We certainly are a long way from that now...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33304501.post-1158671644546845422006-09-19T08:14:00.000-05:002006-09-19T08:14:00.000-05:00LOL, tough dilemma...LOL, tough dilemma...Catehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138717390215817390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33304501.post-1158641965889038512006-09-18T23:59:00.000-05:002006-09-18T23:59:00.000-05:00Moral dilemma: what if the cashier thinks the brus...Moral dilemma: what if the cashier thinks the brussels sprouts are cabbage, and rings them up as 29 cents/lb instead of 99 cents?
