If you have any questions, or need assistance placing an order, please contact
Christina Brino at: 862-821-8058.

Tips for Tupperware uses:
As the pandemic restrictions are lifted this month, think of the leftovers
from eating out that you’ll need to store. Or the extra bowls and
containers that would be handy preparing shared meals with
family and friends now that most of us can gather together safe. And then
there are the seasonal fruits and veggies you’ll need to cut and
store for quick lunches and snacks….
