50%.....unless you order the big package A - then it's a tad bit more.
 
On this topic...UGH! I am so torn! I really like the stuff in package D but do not need the tumblers. I hate to get it and "waste" $12.50 on tumblers I don't need when I want and need a sheet pan later... <sigh> ...back to pondering what I'm getting... (I've already been pondering for 2-3 days...)ETA: ...and I like package C but don't need the outdoor serving set...why or why do they do this to me?

Thanks!It made sense to me, ATF!

The last 2 Sample Orders I was being good and not ordering everything.
I'll see if I can keep it up!

I'd love to get the S.A. dish set, but my cupboard shelves are already groaning, and bending, w/what I already have!

I know! I wish they would do more "like product" groupings. So, if you want the outdoor entertaining stuff - you could get that. Or if you just want the Dots stuff you could get that, or just the new scrapers.....but instead, it's all mixed up together, and you end up getting stuff you don't need or want.
I'll never want or use the linens and placemats.....don't want to order more!

I solved that by getting those other dishes out of there.

BTW: I have a service for 12 of glass dishes with a flower or leafy design on it and a service for 12 of Pfalsgraph (spelled wrong I know :rolleyes: ) dishes that I would love to sell. I also have a service for 12 of white correlle that DH is NOT ready to part with - yet. Oh and I also have a bunch of corning baking dishes. If anyone wants and of these feel free to email me - I'll give you a great price!
 
Here's another question for you...if I wanted to order some open stock right now and then one of the sets later (but before the deadline), can I?

You sound like me! I have almost the same number of dish sets to get rid of, and a much of corning baking dishes I'm looking to part with. My trouble is getting the motivation to actually go and clean out the cabinets. LOL

Yes you can. You just can't order 2 of the same things.

Trouble is, that's not ALL I have. LOL

I have 5 sons and a large family so it was nice having a lot of dishes but now it's just the 2 of us and the rest of the family is far away. Of course, my stones have replaced the corning dishes and I haven't used them in years.
 
I wish everythink would be offered as open stock pieces. Still do the groupings, but offer each piece individually as well.
