Costco Is Selling a 32-Piece Tupperware Set, and I’m Ready to Host a Party

There’s nothing quite as nostalgic as Tupperware. The brand has been around since the 1940s, bringing its famous snap-lid containers and sales parties into our consciousness. From the 1950s on, almost every kitchen had something Tupperware, like the super vintage Dip ‘N Serve Tray, the Servalier containers with the patented “instant touch” sunburst lids or the green Crisp-It lettuce keeper.

The company recently announced bankruptcy, and now there’s suddenly a Costco Tupperware set that everyone wants. I stumbled upon the 32-piece set in my local warehouse, and the plastic containers and snappy sunburst lids look and feel just like the Tupperware I remember in my childhood kitchen, albeit in pastel blue, pink and yellow instead of gold, burnt orange and avocado green.

The only thing missing is the Tupperware party. My mom and aunt hosted and attended many when I was a kid, and being the youngest of all my siblings and cousins, I often got dragged along. I didn’t mind because it generally meant snacks, and if there’s one thing those plastic containers are good for, it’s holding popcorn, chips, pretzels and dips. Whatever was leftover, you put that sunburst lid on, pressed it in the middle and snap! Sold!

These sets are making waves with regular Costco shoppers (and setting social media abuzz). They’re flying off the shelves, even with a fairly hefty price tag.

What’s in the Costco Tupperware set?

The Heritage 16-piece Costco Tupperware container set includes stacking bowls and canisters in pastel pink, blue and yellow colors with white sunburst lids.

The pastel colors were popular in the ’50s and ’60s, predating the funkier orange, brown, yellow and green most of us remember. It feels retro but also kind of now. Here’s what you get:

• 4 square bowls: 860 ml (3-1/2 cups), 1.3 L (5-1/4 cups), 1.9 ml (8 cups), 2.8 L (11.75 cups)
• 9 round bowls: Four 340 ml (1-1/4 cups), four 600 ml (2-1/2 cups), one 4.1 L (17-1/4 cups)
• 3 nesting canisters: 2.7 L (11 cups), 4 L (almost 17 cups), 5.7 L (1-1/2 gallon)
• 16 corresponding lids, one for each container

How much is it?

The 32-piece Costco Tupperware set retails for $69.99 at my local warehouse in Washington state. Some Reddit users found it on special for $49.99 when it first launched, but the price increased after the special. The set is only available in-store.

Where else can you buy Tupperware?

Whether you’re looking for old or new Tupperware products, strictly vintage finds or bigger sets, they’re all available online. Tupperware sells products directly to the public (no party necessary), and there’s even a similar 36-piece set on Amazon for $99.99. For collectors, there’s always Etsy and eBay.

But don’t let buying Tupperware at Costco or online stop you from having a get-together. I’m tempted to have a Tupperware party just for the snacks!
