Round about

So you just found out you owe a week’s pay to the IRS, you already booked your vacation in Florida and you’re already behind on this month’s car payment. It’s time to cut back. One easy way is to take your lunch to work, rather than ordering takeout. Tupperware’s new, round sandwich keeper can help. It’s cute, bright, and functional, with room in the top for a pop-out container full of condiments ? perfect for bagels and cream cheese, English muffins or bulkie rolls. And at $12.50 for a set of two (one red, one blue), they cost about the same as two days of takeout lunches. For information, call (888) 919-8099 or visit www.tupperware.com.

Smooth move

Everyone loves a smoothie for breakfast – they’re tasty, nutritious and perfect for people on the go. The problem is, no one likes to clean up the blender afterward, and really, most people would rather hit the snooze button one more time than throw some yogurt and fruit together. Enter Dannon Frusion, premade fruit and yogurt smoothies. All you need to do is shake it and it’s ready to go. With 3.5 grams of fat, 15 milligrams of cholesterol and 270 calories, they’re perfect for people who are watching their diet, too. They cost about $1.50 for each 10-ounce bottle.
