Discover Discontinued Products: Top Picks for Stocking Up | Our Store

The avocado peeler was back by popular demand. I've had many customers ask for it to come back. You can still make guac without our mix.

 

[Chozengirl]

I looked the numbers up in the catalog and it's only the french vanilla.

Maybe cranberry was a better seller?

Both of the small ovals are gone:thumbdown: :thumbdown: :thumbdown:

I just ordered the mini-baker in cranberry, and I'm glad to hear they're keeping that color...I want to use it for the Hot Pizza Dip at shows! I also bought the small round stone, so I could use it for my own personal stuff (reheating pizza, etc. when DH is working nights). It's being d/c'd, but at least it's not something I was planning on demo'ing too often, if at all.
How often do they come out with new stoneware pieces? Are they going to replace the d/c'd items in the fall with something new and fantastic? Let's hope so, right?!

 

[Christ Follower]

I was hoping they'd come out with some sort of lid for some of the other stoneware pieces. I have people ask me for them all the time.

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...

Same thoughts here... sometimes HO's decisions seem strange until we see the "bigger" picture a season or so later. Never a dull moment with HO!

I will not miss the Tiles Napkins.

What's the deal with ordering a stone on a supply order for 40% off?

Hand Soap & Lotion Set (2977)

Will the hand soap still be available??? I absolutely love it and have it eat every sink in my house!!!!

 

[RebelChef]

Didn't the cranberry scraper collection just come out in the Fall catalog? I wonder why it's being d/c so soon? I have people who love that color. I sure hope they don't plan to bring those out in that green. :yuck:

Sorry for the confusion--Joy had mentioned the guacamole dip and that her husband wanted some since it was being discontinued. I didn't quote that in my response, but told her she should order it (meaning the guac mix) on paperwork supply at 40% off and use her FPV for full-price items.

Again, sorry for the confusion.

See my post above - I checked product numbers and it is only the french vanilla. Cranberry will still be available.

Oh thank goodness! Praise the Lord! AND Joy for calming me down!! LOL

 

[Shawnna]

I am also puzzled by why they would discontinue so much stoneware...glad to see some of those will still be available in cranberry, it is a much better color anyway. Also, why are they getting rid of the guac.? I sell lots of it. I also sold lots of the salsa mix. I was hoping they would bring it back as a set of 3 individual packets. I had better call my friend Monday and tell her it is being "retired". She is going to go nuts. She also loves it. I was hoping they would keep the cranberry scrapers. I love the color.

 

[RaggedyAunt]

It does seem weird they're discontinuing the cranberry scrapers that are currently available, but adding 3 more next season. I guess it's to prod those guests who want them now to get them now. But, what about new customers (after March) who see the new cranberry ones and ask about the others that are being discontinued? I don't know what they can't simultaneously carry both colors in the scrapers for a longer time. Who knows?! lol

I think it's just b/c it was a seasonal color? I think it was the same way when they had the scrapers in turquoise, sea green and the other color in 2006. I do like the Cranberry though.

 

[letscook04]

OMG!!! Zesty Guacomole Seasoning Mix is going!!!! The mini baker!!!

 

[dannyzmom]

Since we are going to have the Chipotle Rub we may be able to make the dip with it..

AAaaaaahhhhhh!!
Hadn't even thought of that...thatnks for pointing that out...I am breathing a little sigh of relief now

 

[CrazyChef]

I think they're d/c the vanilla-colored stoneware because they'll introduce a new stoneware in the Fall. (in addition to the cranberry). It's been a while since we've had new stoneware colours. The cranberry ones have been around for over 2 years now.

Check out the last page of the LONG thread. There's a new pic posted of the new cranberry scrapers. I LOVE them!!:love:

Guacamole is 1 of THE EASIEST things to make, I've made it at my shows alot showing the mix & masher.......

 

[pampchefrhondab]

I agree - they should keep the cranberry scrapers. I know they only kept the other colored ones for 1 catalog, but the cranberry match all the other cranberry products (stoneware, placemats, etc).

The only think I don't like about the cranberry is dust seems to stick to them:yuck: !

 

[jrstephens]

What is up with the STONES bein discontinued? That is a lot and a lot of what I sale. What is the deal! Are they being redone? I am confused and shocked about this!! :grumpy:

If you look farther up through this thread, it's just the vanilla color!! At least, that's my understanding....

 

[cathyskitchen]

The only thing I'm bummed about on this list is the guacamole mix. I have TONS of people who order that regularly, including myself. I know it's easy to make, but it's easier with the mix!! I'm gonna have to order about 100 boxes of the stuff between now and the end of Feb.!!!

 

[PampChefJoy]

Me too, Cathy! :cry:although I'm also sad about the serrated bread knife, and the Let's Eat Cookbook!

It is not to bad, but of course I just bought myself the colander bowl set for X-mas. So now I won't be able to bring it to shows. I am still glad I bought it.

The only two items that I really use alot that they are discontinuing are the balloon whisk and the small round stone. I personally don't sell alot of these though! I'm wondering if I should get the lid set for the colander and bowl set that I already have. I don't really use it but they lids may come in handy. I do have a couple people that were thinking about getting the 4 small bowls before that I need to get in touch with to see if they want them before they discontinue them!

 

[wadesgirl]

How did you buy it? Is it within the 30 days that you could ship it back to PC for free to get a refund? Then you can purchase the new one when it comes out.

 

[climbercanoe3]

I bought it at a November show to help with sell-a-thon. It is past the 30 days, since it shipped before Thanksgiving. I might just buy the lids like you had mentioned and if I do bring it I can mention the great new changes.

I don't bring mine to my shows but I do bring a discontinued quick stir pitcher when I make one of the juice recipes. I just tell them that PC has upgraded since I bought mine!

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.

Hmmm, make me wonder because Houston had the exact same right up on that knife. I got orders from it too!
