Yes, it looks a lot different today.
The Main Dishes cookbook got added, for one...can't tell what's missing.
 
The large quick stir pitcher and bread tube was back on there but when my mom tried to order them it said that they were not available.

I have someone that wants 12 pitchers!! I'm guessing it won't go through. They really have to straighten that out!! Several times there are things listed that aren't really available.
 
I ordered the QSP, the white towels and the star pancake mold yesterday, and now all 3 are gone again. It did that in November, too. I really wanted an extra QSP and some of the towels, but they were gone before I ordered. I did not hesitate this time. Thankfully!

I do like the Outlet, but like others have suggested, the revisions need to be on a scheduled, or at least regular basis, so we know when to check, and our customers do, too. Most of our customers don't have time to check the Outlet daily. I shouldn't, but I normally do if I'm in CC, just to see if anything has changed.
 
On my website it looks exactly like it was 3 days ago.The main dishes cookbook has been there all along.
 
The mini-fluted pansare cheaper as well I bought 2 last month and they were 11 a piece now they are $7.00 a piece. Oh well $11.00 is still a lot cheaper then they were to begin with!!

They did it again! The "new stuff" bread tube, bar boards, salad cards, star mold...all gone! How can THOSE be missing? I have more people calling that want that stuff. 13 pitchers! I'm missing out on selling at LEAST that many. Now...at least 10 bar boards if not 20. I'm a little frustrated. I hope they come back tonight.
 
my outlet has not changed.

Do you have the cranberry bar board, bread tube & salad recipes?
 
Mine hasn't changed at all either...

...and no, I don't have those things...

I've been updating my shopping bag often (as I've gotten requests) so that's probably why I noticed the change today. I sent my newsletter just after the change yesterday. It makes a $200 difference in sales. Come back, come back! Okay...so about $80 of that were the pitchers so I've given that up. Thanks for checking!
