As the Open House date approaches--September 17th between 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m.--I thought I would provide some information on different topics pertaining to Tastefully Simple.  The first topic seems pretty obvious to me...Facts About Tastefully Simple.

Tastefully Simple, Inc., established in 1995, is the original national home taste-testing company and the brainchild of Jill Blashack Strahan, Founder & CEO. Based in Alexandria, Minnesota, Tastefully Simple offers easy-to-prepare foods for today’s busy lifestyles.


At Tastefully Simple taste-testing parties, guests sample products – allowing them to try before they buy – and receive serving suggestions, recipes and entertaining tips. With a direct-sales business, consultants offer clients personalized attention and the luxury of home shopping.


Tastefully Simple offers over 60 delicious products including seasonings, soups, breads, sauces, snacks, dressings, desserts and beverages. All products meet strict quality criteria and are either open-and-enjoy or made with one or two additional ingredients. Prices for individual products range from $4.99 to $9.99.
