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!!

Yeah, I understand that. It just seems like ALOT of products have been "restyled" in the past couple of years so that there are getting to be fewer products under $5. We don't have higher quality kitchen stores where I live, so it's hard to explain to people how we compare with William Sonoma instead of Target or Walmart. Plus I know that I hate it when I go to a party just to check out the products & want to buy a little something to help out the host & nothing is inexpensive. I just want PC to be able to keep some things low (luckily the Season's Best is still low & twixits, etc) so that those people that really can't afford anything can still walk away with something! But I TOTALLY understand the reasoning behind having to restyle products & agree that it is necessary.
 
They didn't redo the package of the coffee, did they? Like they did for the seasonings last month? Maybe that's why it's on the list? I'm just trying to hope for the best--that is the ONLY coffee I ever drink!
 
Then you truly have marvelous taste! It's awesome coffee! :)
 
Why, thank you! hee, hee
 
me too, from the dollar store. I would never order them and wait for them to be delivered.

I just had a super-duper-quick conversation with my director she said that yes, the coffee and tea are gonners! :eek: :eek: I hate that!!! I love that coffee and I have several customers who buy several bags at a time from me!
 
Crap!! That really stinks. I wonder why???

NNNNOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
I haven't ever had the coffee personally, and don't plan to get hooked now! But for those of you who do...you better stock up :)
 
How many is it we can buy a season at our discounted price? Is it 3 or 5? I've already bought 2, so I hope that it's 5!

Actually, I was thinking the limit was 4, but only one per order.
 
Coffee/TeaWhat I would do for all of you coffee/tea addicts (lol) is purchase it under a host's name (ask her if you can add a few products to her order, and do it that way. As we are limited to 4 in a season and 1 at a time.

On the tea, I had ordered 2 last time I did supply, it let me, figured it as 2 and when I got order and deduction out of account was only charged for 1.

I ONLY drink Pampered Chef or Kona (straight from Hawaii) coffee. Man, this stinks.

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.

I completely agree. How do they think helps in the kitchen?! :D I mean we have to train them when they are YOUNG! :D
 
I thought for sure that the stripped SA would be discont.

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

Ok - you so have to share this recipe!

I seriously am soooooooooo bummed about the coffee! Frick! For those of you that don't drink it or haven't had it yet - it is wayyyyyyyyyyyy awesome! It is cinnamon, vanilla and hazelnut flavored and just way good! Unexplainable!

I can not believe they are discontinuing the coffee and tea!
That is crazy,,, it's not like it is even cheap, you would think they are making a good profit off of it~!
 
Time to swamp the home office with email!!!! I love the coffee and I have many customers that buy it regularly!!
 
And I can't for the life of me figure out why they would introduce a new coffee scoop thingy and d/c the coffee!?!
 
I was just thinking the other day when I realized that I burned through my last bag of coffee so quick that I should see about buying a case.
Guess I will look into buying 2 :(
I will wait for the OFFICIAL discontinued list and then send an email to HO.
I am so sad.....I think I will have a cup of PC coffee to cheer me up!
 
I wish I could... mine is gone... sigh ...
 
Is it possible that they are discontinuing the coffee and tea because of their price? I've had people tell me that it was way too expensive. I'm also wondering if they are maybe changing the coffee and tea altogether to different blends?

I'm a total coffee freak and have bought a few bags of the PC stuff, but it always gives me heartburn (doesn't stop me from drinking it). I love the tea as an iced tea, but not as a hot tea.

OMG soooo easy

Spray inside of tube & inside of lids with Pam
Lower your oven rack as low as possible
Unroll a Pillsbury French Loaf onto a cutting board (floured) and sprinkle w/cinnamon & sugar (as much or as little as you like) - you can add raisins and walnuts too.
Roll it back up & drop into tube.
Bake it standing up in the oven for 50 mins at whatever temp it says on the pIllsbury package...
cool in tube for 5 minutes...out of tube, cool on rack another 5-10 so it gets a crust...slice with serrated bread knife

yummmmmm
 
Yum!!! That sounds so good, Carolyn!
 
Well???Am I missing it (because I dont want to read back like 5,000 pages...LOL) or have we not gotten the VERIFIED news on discontinued products? Will someone email them to me if we have and when we do? DS has a 101.1 fever and needs his mommy...:(
 
Pampered Laura is back from conference and I am checking with her about the list as we speak!!
