Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's time for Footy Friday, and that's what happens with
Neil and me. So before we get to the Costco story,
I want to get into the Tupperware story. Tupperware, of
course everybody knows, are those plastic storage containers that are
made of plastic that people buy because they are plastic.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
And Neil there's a story rigulately.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
If you put spaghetti in them, once they turned, they
look like President Trump right afterwards, they just you can
never get that spaghetti sauce out. However, we've heard that
Tupperware obviously has been going through some issues because they've
been around forever. But you know, there's more brands on
the market, there's other options. But this story was interesting
(00:53):
as it looked at the first time in the eighty
year history of Tupperware. This past September, they launched something
called Walla.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
It is Tupperware's glass line and it's it hit the
market and right before Thanksgiving. This is kind of them
going against Anchor, Anchor Hockey or pyrex or those types
of things. But they have these glass dishes now and
the cool thing about them they have the lids for them,
but they're microwaves safe refrigerator, freezer, dishwasher, even under a broiler.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
They can be used.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
They can be cooked in, so your cast roles and
things like that can go from the refrigerator into the oven.
Speaker 4 (01:40):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Okay, that's just kind of neat.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
Yeah, this is something that you know, prep for Thanksgiving
and goes straight from the refrigerator.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Okay, makes sense. That resonates walla. That makes sense. Now.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
Yeah, so I just thought this was a nice and
they're they're not expensive. It's sixty five bucks right now
for a set of four thats uh, and you go
to Tupperware dot com.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Okay, Now there's my question. Do they still do Tupperware parties?
Speaker 1 (02:07):
Because this thing was sold at Tupperware parties for years
and years that was their model.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
As a matter of fact, you couldn't buy them retail.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
I remember going to Tupperware parties because I would, you know,
I always liked the food, you know, saving and the
and the tech of Tupperware. I don't know if they
still have parties. If they do, they have diminished. They've
been really struggling to be relevant because there are so
many different options.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
And by the way, they were not inexpensive today, their
competitive high quality.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
No, I'm not arguing that at all. And when you
were the only guy in the temperware party, right.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
Yeah, she was, Yes, I absolutely was nice way to
pick up women, for sure.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
Exactly.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
It was like being the only straight guy in a
chorus in a musical, in the chorus, right.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
I'll take Okay, fair enough, you're odds properly, But I
just thought, uh, you know, these are a nice set.
It's it's fairly Uh, it's well priced and if people
are interested, now's a good time because Thanksgiving and the
holidays are coming, and who doesn't need more food containers?
Speaker 4 (03:17):
Fair enough?
Speaker 1 (03:18):
Okay, I think we have No, we don't. Let me
take an early break because I want to get into
Thanksgiving bundles, do you? Yeah? I did you buy Thanksgiving
Walmart much cheaper? And the President is making a very
big deal of the fact that Walmart is selling the
Thanksgiving bundles this year for far less than last year,
(03:39):
leaving out the fact that it's basically one can of yams. Uh,
and that is it. That's your Thanksgiving? How long before
we get trump Mart?
Speaker 4 (03:48):
Trump Mart?
Speaker 1 (03:49):
All right, A couple of things, the grocery store, the
Thanksgiving bundles, and a lot of people buy their packages
of Thanksgiving, which I'm doing.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
You know, I'm not going to cook. You know, I'm
going to deli. Oh, here we go. There's eight of us,
give me eight dinners. So what's going on with this?
Speaker 3 (04:08):
Well, this is kind of a hybrid. If you're going
to be purchasing all the you know, we tend to
eat the same things around Thanksgiving, right, so places like
all the and Costco of course, and I think even
Sam's Club and Target they're putting together these bundles, and
(04:28):
I think it's kind of a smart idea. So rather
than just grabbing things off the shelf and hoping that
you're going to hit a particular dollar mark for the staples,
they're putting together these lists, and most of them around
the forty dollars mark, which is about four. It feeds
ten or serves ten, and that means it's about four
(04:50):
dollars per person. So you're talking the turkey, Wow, chicken broth,
condensed cream of mushroom soup which a lot of people use,
evaporated milkoins, sweet rolls, uh, all these things, these lists,
yellow onions, baby peeled care, it's celery, cranberries, pie, crust
that you.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Can and that's one package you buy.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
Yeah, these are these are broken up to ten people
or to serve ten people.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
Now, this is not pre cooked. We're not talking about buying.
It's done and you put it, you heat it up,
put it on the table, let's go, let's let's go eat.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
No, this is the ingredients to make these things.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Yeah, I do it.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
I do it the other way because I'm lazy. I'm
just incredibly lazy.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
As you know.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
Well, if you get into doing it the other way,
there are options. Of course, this is just for people
that are like, hey, if we're gonna have a lot
of people over or or you don't want to have
to worry about having all the ingredients. They're put in
these bundles. And I think it's smart. Now, they did
a recent study and when they broke down, especially on
(05:55):
the turkeys and stuff, the cheapest placed or the least
expensive place to get your turkey.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
Uh and the fixens came out with Walmart. And that's
not a huge surprise.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
But as far as the turkeys and stuff like that,
if you want it to be done for you, you know Popeyes.
You and I enjoy Popeyes. We haven't gone in a while,
But they do a Cajun turkey, a whole cooked Cajun
turkey that you can order by calling your local Popeyes
and you can pick it up right there at the store.
(06:31):
And I think it's like eighty dollars or something like that,
but that's.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Not inexpensive, but it is obviously different.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Yeah, and it's different than your traditional turkey, which frankly
is dry as hell. I mean, one of the things
about Thanksgiving meals is they're fairly tasteless.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
It's just there's not a whole lot there.
Speaker 4 (06:48):
How dare you The only thing tasteless here is you, sir?
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Exactly?
Speaker 3 (06:52):
The turkey I think, when done right and when they're juicy,
I think turkey is very delicious, especially the next day
on a sand went all good night, All right, let's
do one more.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
And of course it's the Costco story, the best Thanksgiving sides.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
Okay, so this is great if you're looking to cut
corners and you want the premium, you know, pre made stuff,
Costco is gonna be a great place. They've got their
Kirkland signature broccoli, salad's got walnuts, it's got a dressing
with it. The Kirkland signature cranberry walnut round.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
I have one of those right now.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Yesterday I had a sandwich ham and cheese on the
cranberry walnut bread.
Speaker 4 (07:35):
HM, fabulous, nice, very simple.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
But can add the potato and cheese pirogis if you
want a little appetizer. They've got the scalloped potatoes. That's
the main street bistro scaloped potatoes there, they've got the signature.
These come on now, Garlic parmesan dinner rolls come on.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
Their mac and cheese is spectacular.
Speaker 4 (08:01):
Their maca cheese is one of the big ones.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
As a matter of fact, if I don't get time,
that's the dish I've got to make this year. If
I don't have time to make it, I'm gonna grab
those because they're oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
They're excellent.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
So and you can get your turkeys there, big difference
between fresh and frozen turkeys. Big difference between turkeys with
and without feathers.
Speaker 4 (08:20):
So it's a little too fresh, the beak a little
too fresh.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
Yeah, So what do you do? Do you go frozen
or fresh? Oh, it's a lot more money for fresh,
a lot more money.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
It depends. I go both, and I don't have a
problem with the frozen turkey at all. It's it's still
the quality of the bird. You're better off getting a
smaller bird, getting two of them than getting one twenty
five pound because the truth is, turkeys don't grow that
big naturally.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
No, I know, they're I mean, you know, the birds
just you know, they actually will. They're so top heavy
that they can actually fall over. I mean, it's just
just way top heavy, like Michelle, who is incredibly top heavy.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
Leave producer Michelle alone, Okay, but it is funny when
she tips over.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
It certainly is. It's like tipping over a cow, you know,
just you.
Speaker 4 (09:15):
Press, and that's the term you want to use.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Well, no, I'm not comparing.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
I'm not comparing her to a cow, but I am
comparing tipping her over just by uh huh.
Speaker 4 (09:27):
Okay, Well, I'm going to leave utters.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
I swear to God I'll come slap you that we're
done with this. Okay,
It's time for Footy Friday, and that's what happens with
Neil and me. So before we get to the Costco story,
I want to get into the Tupperware story. Tupperware, of
