Someone could have taken the catalog that they got at lunch yesterday and checked. I always did that before I went to sleep on day 2. lol
 
Wait a second? I heard (somewhere) that the silicone oven mit wasn not going, just the other mit was being added back on. Not that I LOVE the SOM, just its conflicting information. Also, I thought they didnt get their catalogs (new) ubtil Day 3? I could be wrong...

I saw the same thing about the silicone mitt...
 
I wish they would come out with more stuff for kids. I love the kids hat and apron. Got one for my 3 year old son, so now I'm going to have to get one for my younger two kids before they are discontinued.
 
You get the discontinued list at lunch, the same time you get the new catalog, and the product incentive levels you earn. they give all of that to you at the same time.
 
OMG - I can't believe they are getting rid of the coffee and tea! Holy crap! I am going to have to stock up! Yikes!
 
the coffee... I hope that's wrong... I have a solid customer who buys this on a reg. basis... shoot.
 
Is the tea and coffee that good? I've never had it...
 
I thought they would have discontinued some of the SA to make room for the dot SA.

I have not tried it myself but it gets RAVE reviews from any of my customers who have bought it!
 
OH NO! My husband and I are totally addicted to the Good Company Coffee! Why would they discontinue it when they're just coming out with the clip with a coffee scoop attached that will go perfectly with the bag the coffee comes in?
 
Nooooo, not the silicone oven mitt! That's one of my favorite products, and I bought it for Christmas presents this year. It's the only way I keep from burning myself on the stoneware! :(

That's another reason why I am questioing this discontinued products list - it just doesn't make sense to me.
 
I am questioning it as well....for the coffee plus the silicone mitt...and I also thought that some SA would be D/C to make room for the new... I am not taking this too seriously, until we get a 2nd on it!
 
I CANNOT believe about the coffee--everyone LOVES it! That was not good timing to discontinue the coffee when they came out with a clip for it!

I also can't believe about the kid's stuff. The cookie making set is great. Now we're going to have NOTHING for kids. I'm really disappointed in that.

I'm also kind of getting tired of taking the lower priced items & "restyling" them & charging so much more. It's getting harder & harder to say how inexpensive many of our tools are when they keep restyling them & charging more.

Oh Man!! I absolutely HATE

burning thru it!!

They have to enhance the products and raise the prices to keep up with other stores, to be able to give us a "raise" -- they are making our products SO much better. Anyone remember when the Baker's Roller was WOOD??? Ick!! They restyled it in plastic and added the little pricking piece...much better and definitely wrth the extra $$.
If they didn't constantly improve our tools, we wouldn't be able to hold a candle to William Sonoma...but they keep making our stuff better and better - we are equal to and often better than William Sonoma!!
 
I just bought that scalloped bread tube last month!! and they are going to discontinue it!! BAHhhhhhhhhh!!!
 
Maybe they'll just change the color of the SOM. I've had lots of customers hoping for a new color.

Ok - now you've stumped me - what's the SOM?

I am surprised to see the bread tube gone. I sell quite a few of them - I have ALL of them from back when there were 4 of them. My kids love when I make cinnamon swirl bread in them...yummmm

Silicone Oven Mitt...I had to think about that one too. :)

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...than kyou :D
 
I was hoping for a new color for it as well, but it should have been listed under the day 1 announcements as a redesigned product... SOM= silicone oven mitt :)

I love the bread tube! I wish they would have brought out a different shape instead of doing away with it completely.
 
I bought the set that was on the Outlet not too long ago......and haven't used any of them... I need to try them, I think I even have a booklet of ideas from someone on here!
