Tupperware Sheer Midgets

By A'Dell

Several years ago, I found myself cleaning out a cabinet stuffed with various bits of plasticware. None of it matched, none of it lasted more than a few months before it either fell apart, lost a lid, or got warped in the dishwasher. I had the cheapie kind and the more expensive kind and it was all equally terrible. I felt like I was CONSTANTLY buying this stuff and I hated ALL OF IT.

So, I threw it all away and started over again.

I visited Tupperware.com and ordered an entire set of lifetime-guaranteed items. I only purchased what I thought would fit our lifestyle and needs and, well, it was expensive. I can't remember how much, but I remember thinking I was insane for spending so much money on TUPPERWARE.

Seven years later? IT WAS TOTALLY WORTH IT. I have some very basic sized items, ideal for leftovers and while they are essential, they are very boring and round and are basically just higher-quality versions of what they sell at the grocery store.

It turns out my favorite buy was a set I only ordered because I remembered my mom having them, so I figured they MUST be useful. (My mother doesn't tend to keep an un-useful thing for 30+years.)

Classic Sheer Midgets Set, $15

These are very handy little guys. They have 1 ounce, 1.5 ounce, and 2-ounce markings on the side, which makes them great for portioning out salad dressing or other condiments for a lunch. They are wee, but very spill-proof in my experience. The lids are stout.

They're perfect for baby food in the early days (an ice cube of pureed food fits perfectly). I also portion things out I want to mix together later (salsa on a burrito, croutons for a salad). You could use them for raisins, almonds, or any other tiny, snacky things you don't want to waste a plastic bag on.

I've also used them for traveling and scooped a dollop of moisturizer in one, a few pumps of face wash in another, shampoo, conditioner, etc. (Not TSA compliant, of course, but it will save you lots of space on a road trip or in a checked bag.) I do put them in a plastic bag when I travel, but they've never leaked.

We use these several times a week and even though they're very small, we haven't lost any of them. Excellent buy.

I'm pretty much in love with everything tupperware makes.

Those are pretty much what I'm constantly in need of.
