This is the final reminder that this online party will be closing tomorrow night. If you want to place an order, please do so within the next 24 hours.
The good news is that if you want to order but can’t do it before tomorrow night, you can still order! At the top of the party page, where all the links are, is a link to my personal site and you can order from there too and there’s no deadline for it.
Now, way back at the beginning I told you all about my favorite pieces. Well, I forgot one so I’m gonna end with one last one.
I love this thing. It’s righty or lefty and it makes safety lids when it cuts. I’ve used other can openers which do that too but this is by far the easiest to use. It moves so smoothly and cuts so neatly that I’m frequently not sure if it even did cut the lid until I find the seam and lift up the totally smooth metal.
A story about can openers…
Last June, I was delivering some dog and cat food to a church in Brimfield MA. The church was the collection and distribution point for donations after the totally unexpected tornado we had (I know tornadoes aren’t usually expected anyway but this is MA so they’re even less expected). One of the ladies I talked to asked me if I needed a can opener. I said that I didn’t because I didn’t lose power and I have a manual one anyway. She told me that one of the biggest problems they have had is keeping enough can openers available because so many of the people in the affected areas only had electric ones! Personally, I hate electric can openers so I don’t have one but I can’t imagine not having a manual one for backup, especially in a place where it’s not uncommon to lose power in snow storms.
How might I go about getting a replacement button for my pushbutton pitcher? I just checked - and we still have both of 'em. They date back to 1988 or earlier!! It turns out only one of the two buttons was badly chewed, the other one has some scratches but is otherwise fine.
About to place my second order… egad it’s a big one. I’ve spent the last few days periodically noting the stuff I need to be able to store, and figuring out the sizes I need!!
Do you have the mold number on the lid? I don’t think you can replace just the button and the whole jar isn’t available but I might be able to get just the lid.
Mama Zappa, if Congo can’t get you a new lid that way, check out ebay. I found several sellers with either entire pitchers or lids only. Just buy the cheapest one, toss the pitcher/lid and keep the push button thingy. Sure, the colors won’t match but it will work!
Congo, I did end up buying a new salad dressing container for not very much money from an ebay seller in order to get a replacement lid. I just have to sterilize the new lid and it’s ready to go!
Paula - I could have sworn I sent you a PM but I can’t find it so apparently I had a brain fart instead. Can you send me your confirmation number? Mama Zappa’s second order is the ONLY one that has gone through connected to the party so far.
Well, this has been an awesome experience! You ladies have been great and I truly appreciate your orders. Not only will I be getting my normal commission percentage, your orders qualified me for a bonus! That money is going to be stashed away until September so I can pay my $46 financial aid shortage and buy a textbook. Now I just need to save enough from my regular job and more parties so that I can afford books for the other 4 classes.
I’ll be closing this party within the next hour or so but don’t worry! You can still place orders through my site (see my signature) any time whether there’s an ongoing party or not!
If any one is in MA, RI, CT, or Southern VT or NH and you want to host a party, I’d love to be your consultant! Hosts get bonuses of free and half price stuff, based on what their guests order. It’s a great way to get some of the more expensive items on your wish list.
If anyone has any questions about anything, you can contact me by email, PM, or through my Tupperware site or this thread. I wont be abandoning it just because the party’s over!
We’re going to close this thread today but anyone with any questions or other orders can still PM, email, or go to my site (in my sig).
I’ll probably start another party in a few months, I was thinking closer to the holidays but maybe a tad earlier.
I’d definitely recommend checking the online exclusives section of my site every month or so because those sales are generally awesome!
Again, thank you all so much for your orders and for making my first online party a huge success!
