Me too! That's how I knew. I may get a few for an upcoming booth though.
 
I MIGHT buy a few for gifts...my kitchen used to have more hunter green, but it is RAPIDLY turning into burgundy!

I love these for tool holders! I gave a couple as gifts for Christmas. Hmm...very nice host gift!! Ooohh...I think I'll do that!! Incentive gift or something.
 
Ok, gave in, well almost. :)

I called my mom and told her how much she wanted a mini fluted pan for herself. (I already have one). I told her how she can just use part of it and not the whole thing at a time, etc.

She was sold. :)

(...and I think she added a few crocks as a gift for someone...she blocked her contact information from me - like I don't know it mom - he-he - but the products showed :) )

I'm NE a ways - near Rhinelander. Hometown is Racine (SE of you).
 
hope this isn't hijackingAlthough I'm in Maryland now, I grew up in Waupaca, WI, and still have many relatives in Northern WI (mostly Spooner).

OH! And thanks for the tip on the crocks! I'm going to buy some for hostess gifts!
 
OMG, what a great steal at $3 for the crock! I should get a handful before they sell out! Adding the beer bread would be a very affordable gift to people!! :)
 
Actually even better deal for us at $2.50 each so I bought 5 and then the SWCB was only $2.25 so I got a handful of those too great giveaway incentives or gifts! :) Love a Bargain!!
 
I bought 6 crocks and 2 Stoneware cookbooks...I held back...
 
Can we buy outlet products from our own website?

Or are we limited to ordering the samples on CC?

You can order them at CC with your discount and get them cheaper than the outlet prices.

No, that is for customer, we personally order through CC which gives us an additional discount.

I ordered aprons and stoneware sensations books and a few crocks through CC last month so I had to hold off this month (spent this month's budget on spring stuff)! :)

How do you enter your discount?
 
The discounted price is what's listed on CC.
 
I just ordered some crocks! I am to going to fill a couple with candy and give as valentine's gifts. What a great deal!!

I send an email to customers and then put all of their orders together to save shipping (so no one is paying $6 for the $3 item) and I sometimes add on some things that I want too. Then I get a commission on what I buy so it's even cheaper! Plus, it's double points right now. :)
 
The stoneware trivet is cheaper too. I bought 2 at the $14 price - shoot!
I'm thinking of buying some crocks as host gifts too.
 
The sad thing is I think consultants are the outlet's best customers!!!!
 
Accessory ForksHow long are these?
They were supposed to be used with a fondue set or something right?

I think about 6" including handle?? Not sure though. I have a gripe though. I was curious about the carving set with the platter so I checked at the platter was $35. The carving set was $45 so that's a total of $80. Now $36 is a great deal, but it's NOT 75% off. That's a little misleading! They put it in the Outlet Specials section, which is 75% or more of a discount!! Plus, they don't put an original price on it!
 
My mom bought 10 and my sister-in-law bought 10 crocks each!! They are going to give them as gifts! I also bought some (20) for $100 orders between now and Feb 14Th! Give them an extra incentive!!! Whoo Hoo!!!!:) :)

Dang at this price and these kinds of orders they are going to blow out soon!;:p
 
Yup - I told you consultants are the best outlet customers for PC!!!!
 
Silly question here, but besides the crocks being used to hold pens, or some utensils, what else do you use them for? If for bread, do you use the refrigerated or make your own??

Our beer bread can be made in it and I would imagine any other boxed breads you can get at the store!
 
I have chilled the crocks and use them for potato salad or macaroni salad at potlucks. Keeps it cold for a long time :)

Is it just me or did they add a bunch of items yesterday only to have them disappear today? I sent an email. Got a bunch of orders for stuff that's gone now:eek: I always warn them that if they really want it, they need to get it right away. I'm ordering tonight (just 24 hours later!!).
