yeah, almost bought the ones that that other guy had the heavy set bald guy, friend of Davids his was around 30-40. Thought I'd wait and these will do.

They say you can't put in microwave, but, you can just not for long periods of time. Just heating up something simple. Reviews all said they used in microwave too.

@SharkE I love it too,,,,reminds me of picnics and summer. I bought a beautiful large melamine bowl at Costco (there are plates also). It is white with turquoise and coral accent in a sea life motif. I use it for a large salad or fruit bowl....so pretty and fresh.

@SharkE

Thank you for pointing out the dishes and the Lunchtime Specials. I never look at those but will now! While looking at your plates I saw a Kitchenaid 12pc utensil set for $8.46, great deal! K50918

QVC needs to start paying me hahahhahaha I just like to share in bargains I see especially in this day and time.

Most of the lunchtime specials tend to be repeats, but, I still check 'em never know what might pop up. Most of the good clothes by Isaac and KIm gravel are usually gone unless you can wear a XXS. XS or S

The large I can never hardly get on. Few times i've beat others to the larges, but the baby sizes are always left.

Yuck. Nothing more unhealthy than eating on plastic plates. NOT made in this country is even more disgusting.

ID2 you're typing your response on a foreign made electronic, in your dwelling with lots of foreign made parts and items and the list goes on & on, so what's the point of your comment really??

I love melamine.

And going further than that, every single drinking glass in my house is Tupperware brand. All of my glassware is Tupperware.

I appreciate this recommendation. I ordered a half-dozen plates (partial neutral, partial green) for an amazing price!

These are my summertime staple! I have seashell ones I have forever, but the ones I use most often are white with a striped rim of washed blue and red.

I bought these from Valerie Parr Hill in navy to mix with them: H225959

Congratulations on your pretty plates @SharkE ! They're so different. What color did you get? I like them all !

your plates are pretty. My sister would die for the blue, she's a blue girl I'm a pink.

I went with the Hibiscus. Fiesta Pink is pretty , but, I don't want to worry about chipping and they weigh to much to be sitting on the couch with on your lap. LOL

@SharkE I got several last summer in pretty spring and summer patterns at our local grocery store at 75% off. I love them for a quick snack, or sandwich. I put a few under a few plants also.

I try to scan LTS too. Always good to see the bargains! Thanks for sharing.

@ID2 My mother has survived right at 100 years and we ate off of a lot of plastic. She really doesn't have anything wrong except she is almost 100.

It's silly to say there is nothing more unhealthy than eating on plastic plates.

I used to love and have melamine plates. They are lightweight and colorful.

Then I read that when exposed to heat or just constant use they release toxins that can cause kidney stones and should never be used with babies and children.

You can look it up and there is lots of info on this.

So sadly I don't use it anymore.

I have a set of melamine plates and bowls from Costco and also the large bowl and platter. I don't put them in the microwave but we use them on the patio when we eat outside. Great quality.

I bought some Eco plates and bowls from HSN that can't go in the microwave but they are a pretty lilac and the plates lunch and dinner have a tall lip around them which I love. Got them on clearance and free shipping.
