If you grew up in the '70s through '90s, you might remember aplenty Tupperware booths, neighbourhood stores, and the Tupperware-wielding aunties who were part of the MLM (Multi-Level Marketing) sales programme knocking on your retro HDB gate and door. They said that one set of Tupperware was all you'd ever wanted - it will meet all your family members' needs. Plus, the plastic it was made such high quality that you could allegedly pass down several generations just like Patek Philippe.
Well, the aunty who sold my mother the 40-odd-piece Tupperware containers did not lie. The multitude of bulky, tacky rainbow-coloured air-tight containers are now hogging space in my tiny HDB BTO... because my mother "gifted" it to me.
So, what happened to Tupperware Singapore?
News broke in 2023 that Tupperware was in trouble. In 2024, news reported that Tupperware has filed for bankruptcy protection after a year of struggling with sales.
Maybe they’re a victim of their own (durable and reliable) success - I continue to use these betrothed Tupperware water bottles (Oh, the explosive spills when you finally yank open the lid!) and tubs daily for leftover food in my fridge only because the ultra air-tight rubber lids never fail to give me a great arm workout. Of course, I cursed and swore at Tupperware's existence every single time I had to fight tooth and nail with the air-tight lid - not until news broke that Tupperware was going bust and may soon shutter. No way!
Swimming in my conflicted gravy of nostalgia and guilt, I have decided to round up some online shops you can buy Tupperware in Singapore to show them a little support and keep them going.
Before we start, you should know that there are genuine and fake Tupperwares out there online or in-stores. You can quite easily tell them apart from the packaging (should have the Tupperware cardboard box), price point, thickness of plastic, and the famous air-tight lids. On the lids, the Tupperware logo should also be embossed... in English, obviously. Here are some shops you can still get your hands on Tupperware in Singapore (and some food storage container alternative shops) too.
Keeping food fresh in Singapore’s humid climate is a constant battle against moisture, weevils, and stale snacks. Whether you are meal-prepping for the week or trying to organise a chaotic pantry, the right storage containers are essential.
Style Degree
Ah, so you want the “Pinterest-worthy” pantry aesthetic. You’re at the right place.
If you have seen those satisfying videos of perfectly labelled, uniform pantry drawers on social media, you will love Style Degree. This local Singaporean brand specialises in home organisation solutions. Their strength is specialised sizing; they offer tall, slender containers specifically designed to fit standard HDB and condo cabinet dimensions.
At Style Degree, get the ClarityTwist™ Airtight Containers. These stackable square tubs feature a twist-lock mechanism that creates a vacuum seal, perfect for keeping dry goods like rice, pasta, and baking ingredients crisp in Singapore’s humidity.
ToTT Store (Tools of The Trade)
ToTT is a culinary playground for serious chefs. While they are known for their pots and pans, their food storage section is excellent if you are looking for industrial durability or preservation jars. They stock high-end brands that you won’t find in general supermarkets, such as Le Parfait jars from France, which are the gold standard for pickling or storing bulk dry goods.
If you’re here, get the Cambro Food Storage Containers. These are the translucent, square tubs you see in professional restaurant kitchens. They are virtually unbreakable, stack securely, and have volume markers on the side.
You can also shop ToTT on Lazada and Shopee.
MUJI
For those who want a kitchen that looks calm and uncluttered, MUJI is the answer. Their storage containers are designed to be “visually quiet.” They are famous for their White Enamel Food Containers with Valves, which look clean enough to be served directly on the dining table, saving you from washing extra plates.
Their signature food container will be the Liquid-Proof Polymer Container. These are lightweight, incredibly clear, and stain-resistant. The lids have a high-quality silicone seal that is arguably better than generic supermarket brands at preventing soup leaks.
Nitori
Often called the “IKEA of Japan,” Nitori has made a big splash in Singapore recently. Their food storage aisle is impressive, offering clever Japanese innovations that focus on space-saving. Their containers are often designed to fit perfectly into the narrow shelves of Japanese (and Singaporean) fridges.
We will buy the Easy-Open Canisters. These are popular for dry food storage because they have a unique handle mechanism that allows you to pop the lid open with just one hand—a small detail that makes a huge difference when you are cooking.
IUIGA
IUIGA is best for premium quality at transparent prices (and the MUJI aesthetic for less). You know this name - IUIGA is a local Singaporean favourite that has disrupted the home goods market with its “ODM” (Original Design Manufacturer) model. They source their products from the same factories used by big luxury brands (like WMF, Samsonite, or MUJI) but sell them without the brand markup. If you want high-end, minimalist storage that looks expensive but is reasonably priced, this is the place.
The Borosilicate Glass Container with Air Valve. These are heat-resistant, incredibly clear, and often come with smart features like date-dial lids to track freshness—tech that usually costs double in department stores.
Tup SG
We can’t really tell if this Tupperware shop is an authorised distributor of the Tupperware universe. Tup SG is, however, very active with swanky new Tupperware products for your family - think My Little Pony containers, ice trays, lunch boxes, and Disney-themed sets. Also, if your Tupperware round canisters’ lid is wrecked, you can get replacements quite easily from this website (around $8.10 for a lid).
You’ll have to order online, and opt for courier delivery (no self-collection or normal mail). You get free delivery for purchases above $180.

Tupperware SG Shopee Store
Pretty much the same as every other Tupperware store, you can expect to find the usual classic Tupperware water bottles, flip-top water jugs, sandwich boxes, and round canisters on this Shopee Tupperware SG Online Store. Again, you will find replacement parts such as bottle caps and canister lids here on this Tupperware Shopee store.
However, with Shopee, you do get a little more discounts with the shop’s vouchers and Shopee’s regular vouchers. Ah, and free shipping, of course!

Tupperware Lazada Verified Store
Maybe it’s the photographs they use, but the selection of Tupperware on this Lazada store looks so much more modern than the others - straying from the tacky ‘80s Tupperware look. The water bottles, lunch boxes, and storage boxes come in the classic rainbow Tupperware colours.
These products are shipped from a mix of China and “Overseas” - if ready-stock and availability matters to you. As with most Tupperware products, these are not the cheapest things. A round lunchbox will set you back by $21 easily.

Happy Tupper
With a 4.9-star rating (over 6,900 ratings) and over 3,900 followers to boot, this Happy Tupper store on Shopee and Lazada has been a Tupperware go-to for the past few years. You’ll find most of the signature and classic Tupperware bottles, containers, and home organisation gadgets here.
However, wait around to collect discount vouchers, and flash deal days. A classic papaya-shaped Tupperware bottle that usually goes for $15 can see half-price discounts, down to $8.38.

IKEA
It is impossible to write a storage list without mentioning the Swedish giant. IKEA is the go-to for new homeowners for a reason: their IKEA 365+ series is arguably the most versatile system on the market. The genius lies in the interchangeable lids—you can buy glass, plastic, or stainless steel bases and snap on the same size bamboo, plastic, or silicone lid.
It’s a no brainer. Just get the IKEA 365+ Glass Food Container. Unlike plastic, glass doesn’t stain or hold odours (perfect for curry or sambal), and it is oven-safe.
