Tupperware products have long been recognized for their style, durability, innovation, and help throughout the home in storage, as well as for food preparation and serving.

Tupperware products are available globally through an independent sales force that is nearly two million strong. A glance at the lengthy list of countries where you can locate Tupperware products includes such diverse nations as: Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Germany, India, Israel, Japan, New Zealand, Russia, South Africa, Spain, United Kingdom, and the United States.

Traditionally, Tupperware products have been sold solely through parties. A Tupperware consultant would contact people who might be interested in hosting a party, and then would work with them to plan every detail. Guests, as well as the hostess, would order Tupperware products at the party, and would also sign up to host their own future party, if desired.

Tupperware parties are still an option, but now there are additional ways to locate Tupperware products. Beginning with changes to traditional parties, let's answer our question, "Where can I locate Tupperware products to buy?"

1. Parties - Gatherings

Locating Tupperware products at parties is much as it has been. The party itself may be different, though. In-home parties will often be themed to a holiday such as Christmas or Hanukkah; an event such as a baby or wedding shower; or a type of food. Office parties are now an option for locating Tupperware products. If you want to order Tupperware products by hosting a party, you can find your local consultant by visiting http://Tupperware.com.

2. Parties - in Name Only

You might also locate Tupperware products to buy through a "catalog party". This is a party in name only, as no gathering takes place. Catalogs are passed around in an office or club, or among neighbors, and orders are placed. Another party that involves no gathering is the "online party". In this case, Tupperware products are ordered online through a specific web site, with a code, and sales credit goes to a specific consultant.

3. Internet - Individual Distributors

Tupperware products can be located as near as your computer now, with a connection to the Internet. Tupperware representatives are establishing their own Internet web sites, complete with recipes, hints on using Tupperware, and easy ordering of Tupperware products. Some Tupperware consultants offer "online parties" on their websites. Others offer them through the company.

4. Internet - Company Headquarters

Tupperware products are easy to locate through the company's official website, but will cost a little more than those ordered through an individual distributor, whether in person or online. The company website lists Tupperware products by category, collection, and by price. Each of those breaks down further, offering pictures, descriptions, and prices to make shopping easy.

5. Mall - Kiosks

If you live in one of the larger cities in the United States, Mall kiosks are another place you can locate Tupperware products to buy. Tupperware Mall Kiosks are staffed by Tupperware consultants, and offer on-the-spot purchase of Tupperware products, ordering, and party planning.

Wherever you choose to locate Tupperware products to buy, you will want to get a good idea of the wide variety of Tupperware products available. Young mothers (and doting grandmothers) are especially interested in the Tupperware Kids products. The classic favorite, the Tupperware Shape-o Toy, has a way of finding itself into your heart and the hearts of children or grandchildren. This toy, which goes from a 5-month old's rattle to a preschooler's intellectual plaything, is virtually indestructible and easily handed down through families. Also in the "Kids, Kids, Kids" category are children's dishes, tumblers and lunchbox sets.

Tupperware products begin with children's needs, but they progress to adult needs. They now even feature seals that do not defy arthritic hands.

You'll be amazed at what's new when you do locate Tupperware products to buy, no matter whether you order at a party, online, or in a mall.
