My Tupperware lady!

February 18, 2011 by Rachel Chapman

There are several trucks that make it to our village periodically selling fresh produce among other things.

The first time they came by our house after the rainy season, we had gone a long time without fresh fruit, fresh veggies, and eggs.  We stocked up on tomatoes, oranges, bananas, cucumbers, carrots!  It was great!

They had come directly from the coast and had a cooler.  We bought some yogurt and some sour cream.  And, we found out they had COLD COKES!!  We each bought one and popped them open right away.

We chatted with the vendors, beginning to get to know them.  All of a sudden, the lady asks…

“Do you want to buy some Tupperware?”

I said, “What?”

She said, “They’re plastic containers that are really good quality and seal well.  They are a bit more expensive, but they are so good that is what I use now.  And, I have some to sell.  Do you want to buy some?

I said, “I know what Tupperware is.  My mom has used it ever since I was little.  I was just surprised to find it for sale out here in the mountains!”

We looked at her supply and bought one that fit our storage needs!

Who would have though!?!!
