I can't begin to tell you how many of these parties I've been to. But really it is fun to get together with the girls and check out lingerie, kitchen gadgets or home goods. But my very first party where you were encouraged to buy something was with my Mom decades ago. She dragged me along to a Tupperware party one of her friends was having.

You Felt Obligated to Buy Something at a Tupperware Party

We ended up buying these hideous orange Tupperware bowls. My family had those bowls for years. We also had a big yellow one that she used for potato salad. Tupperware was expensive for our family of 8, but Mom felt obligated to buy something at her friends party.

Now you won't have to go to a Tupperware party anymore. This iconic brand is changing its sales model and will now be available in all Target stores.

Tupperware hit the market in 1946 and was a game changer for the kitchen. But you could only get it at exclusive parties where the hostess would serve food and show off all the features of the products. These were fun parties, but you could easily expect to write a big check at the end of the night. Many women used Tupperware to supplement the family income collecting commissions from all of their sales.

Tupperware tried the Target experiment about 20 years ago, but pulled the product from the retail shelves less than a year later. But they are now trying it again.

In a statement from Tupperware's CEO Miguel Fernandez we have learned the products will now be sold in the Target stores and online.

Here's the Statement from the Company:

We’re honoring our legacy by continuing to host timeless Tupperware parties and we’ll offer our products in new channels. Younger customers less familiar with direct sales will now find our brand in retail and from there can develop personalized relationships with our one-and-only sales force to find products tailored to their needs. Customers who already love Tupperware parties – whether in-person or online – will now also be able to pick up their favorite essential food storage options at a store nearby.

Tupperware is still on the high end for costs in the storage arena, but some folks say it is the best and that's all they will buy.
