Little Miss Apple's Tupperware : Vent-Smarts and Introductions!

Hi all, I wanted to take the time in this blog to introduce myself and why I chose to be a Tupperware consultant. So here goes….

My name is Krystal and I am single parent working full-time as a Secondary Teacher and Group Fitness Instructor. I chose to become a consultant because after a few years of seeing how much Tupperware products have benefited myself, I wanted to show others how an investment in Tupperware products is a great economical step in the right direction towards meal prepping and time management. I particularly spend a lot of my time dealing with time and financial management as well as health and fitness, so it only seemed like a natural progression to give Tupperware a go. There is an absolute wealth of amazing products out there to suit various types of individuals, but I wanted to specifically focus on how the working parent who wants to stay healthy and keep to a budget can benefit from Tupperware. I want to show and discuss products that can really change how you plan and prepare meals, purchase food and save money. In my first post, I want to take the time to discuss how I have benefited from the Vent-Smart products over the last three years.

How did I discover Vent-Smart?

Changes in vent adjustors between models.

I was hosting a party for a friend about three years ago and the Vent-Smarts were a new product. At the time I not quite financially secure and very reluctant to spend money at this party. I remember the consultant Vashti talking so highly of this product and how her household greatly benefited from having them. I know that at that particular time, I was having to go fruit and veggie shopping every couple of days because anything I bought in bulk wouldn't last for too long in the fridge, particularly spinach and herbs…. It was quite frustrating for myself who was struggling financially and having to constantly throw away food! Although I was reluctant, I was quite open to at least give this product a go. Three years on and after various minor changes to the product, I still use my Vent-Smarts and they are still as amazing as they were back in day one.

Changes in indents between models.

What is the Vent-Smart?

A few years back Tupperware introduced into their modular range a product called "Vent-Smart" as means of storing and maintaining freshness of fruits and vegetables in the fridge. The products stay fresher for longer by controlling the air ventilation (balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide) in the container. The sliders on top (it was originally the sides) can be adjusted to regulate the amount of air circulation that goes to the products. On the side of the box, there is a 'cheat sheet' that can tell you how much your slides need to be adjusted. They stack well in the fridge and are easy to store in the cupboard if you don't need them. Over the last few years they have made some great changes to the product which include:

1. Sliding air-vent adjustors on the top of the container instead of clips on the side.

Differences in cheat sheet between models.

2. A change in the indents at the bottom which make for easier washing.

3. The 'cheat sheet' has been embedded into the plastic on the side of the container for easier reading.

4. The introduction of more sizes (there used to be only three sizes).

Does this product really work?

Over the last three years, I have seen the benefits of this product. I know in particular, I struggled with keeping spinach and lettuce in fridge for any longer than a few days. I have been able to keep it in a Vent Smart for up to three weeks! Very handy as I prefer to buy the larger bags to save money. I have also found that I have had fresh herbs (particularly basil) for a few weeks compared to a few days prior to buying the Vent-Smarts.

How can this product benefit you?

Makes for easy storage!

Here are some ways that the Vent-Smarts can benefit your household, particularly if you are working with a budget and trying to keep healthy meals on the table:

1. Regulated air ventilation so the product lasts longer. This means you can buy larger quantities!

2. Cheat sheet gives you an idea of what can fit into one container. This can help with meal planning and budgeting so that you can make the most out of your food and money.

3. There have been times where I have used them for storing cooked vegetables in the fridge and have managed to get a few days longer so I can prep more veggies in advance.

4. You can cut up similar vegetables and keep them together in the Vent-Smart as a salad. Take out servings as you need them. This won't last three weeks, but you would at least get a few days longer than just placing it ready made in a bowl.

Currently the Vent-Smarts comes in various packages at the following prices in the photos below. Please don't hesitate to contact me on krystalanne.knafl@live.com.au to find out more or to arrange a demonstration of this and other products:
