It doesn't match my kitchen either but I LOVE those knives

They are great cutting anything

I can't wait to get the other 2 now

:chef:
 
We actually had the Salina Journal (in Salina, KS) rate the Green Santuko Knife one of the best products of the summer this last summer. They said the great parts about it was its lightweight feel (great for people with Carpal Tunnel) and the small size (much better suited to smaller women). I sell a TON of both green knives.

One thing I love to point out is that it is really hard to lose in that color. We have a lot of pot lucks and company picnics and the like and your knife won't run off because it isn't the same as the others. I have even gotten calls after events from people who want a knife just like "so and so" had. :thumbup: They are also easy to find in the drawer.

I can't wait to see and test the new ones.

I have had several people call to tell me they want "those green knives whatever they are called." So, it is easy to know which they are wanting!:D

OMG - I can't believe they're d/c'ing the Chipotle Ranch Dip Mix! :cry: :cry: :cry:
I sell SO much of that. I have an entire office of women who buy it in major quanitiies!!!
 
Tara, let me just say, YOU ROCK!!!! Thank you so much for ending at least a little of the pain of waiting!!! Thanks again!

SELL IT BY THE GROSS - You get double points starting tomorrow!!! I had one lady order 10 bags of coffee when they were discontinuing it.!!!!
 
when things are discontinued, do they go on outlet?

I'm asking b/c my DH would love the zesty guacamole seasoning mix...I can buy now, or wait until it goes on outlet...I'm just curious! :confused:
 
They might end up on the outlet....just keep watching. :)
 
Thanks, Tara! I've been wondering what will be discontinued.

It's just the color I don't like on the green knives - clashes with my kitchen, and is the sick green color a lot of plants get when they're about to die, etc - but I do like USING the tomato knife, especially.
 
another discontinue question - when this happens, does PC pull the items from the website, or are they just no longer in the catalog?
 
They get pulled from both.

Since we are going to have the Chipotle Rub we may be able to make the dip with it..
 
as of the spring/summer catalog, right? sorry for the simple question, i'm rather new.
thanks!
 
Yes, all product changes take effect March 1st with the new catalog.
 
Why are they ditching the oval/mini oval baker and deep dish baker/mini baker? That surprises me, especially as there is not new stoneware pieces being added... are they thinking the DCB replaced the two larger ones? And maybe people don't order the smaller ones? I recently got the deep dish baker in green off of the outlet and I love it!
 
Joy, there is no guarantee a discontinued item will go into the Outlet. It depends upon the amount of stock left onhand after the selling season. If nothing else, order it on a paperwork supply order and get it for 40% off, instead of using your FPV.
 
Wow, I can't believe they are getting rid of the small oval bakers!!!! I love them!!! Maybe they are going to do a new design for fall?? I also love the Bell Pepper and Herb Rub!!! Why do they do this to us!
 
I looked the numbers up in the catalog and it's only the french vanilla.

Maybe cranberry was a better seller?

Is it just ME?!?! Am I MISSING something? Why oh WHY are they discontinuing ALL the small bakers?!?! Mini baker, small oval baker, oval baker, deep dish baker?!?! What the heck are we supposed to make/demo dips and things in? Now we'll only have the square, rectangle and covered? Tell me I'm wrong will you please! I'm TOTALLY freaking out here (if you couldn't tell :blushing: )
 
Can't believe they are getting rid of the soap and lotion set, I've got loyal customers who order that, guess I'll be making some calls.

Why then on the survey did they ask if we would want sample size lotion and soaps, if they are getting rid of them?? Duh!?!

See my post above - I checked product numbers and it is only the french vanilla. Cranberry will still be available.
 
oops - faster poster than me! :D
 
I am bummed to see the guac go. I love it and make it all the time (at home and at shows). I also love the small round stone for making nachos and reheating leftovers. I guess I can see why most of the things are going though. I will for sure be making some calls very soon. I think this will work in my favor for getting some more orders in this month and next.

Small Oval Baker is gone for good.

Oval Baker, Deep Dish Baker, and Mini Baker will continue in Cranberry only.

I better get ordering a few more stoneware items before they are gone!:eek:
 
Did anyone else notice how they're discontinuing the guac mix, BUT putting out a redesigned avocado knife? It struck me much like when they discontinued the coffee, THEN put out the scoop clip. Some of their decisions boggle my mind... I, too, am completely surprised over the number of stoneware pieces being discontinued. Fall should be interesting to see what comes out then...
