I have $40 in free product from a show I hosted this past weekend and I want everyone's 10 cents..on what would be great to add to my kit..

Mainly something that you think sells MUCH better having it hands on in the show itself, to get people to say, "OH, I WANT THAT TOO"

(i already have the executive cookware, and several stones...)

and i just ordered the trifle last week..coming any day!!
 
I love my salad choppers, large rectangular platter with handles, can opener, and all the spices.
 
The can opener is a great idea...when folks see it, hold it, and see how it is used, they always buy them!
 
I 3rd the can opener! That one sells when they see it. Plus if you take the lid and cut it with the scissors there is more wow factor. Also the salad tongs have been a hit once they get their hands on it. and the color coated santoku knife is another one.

1 can opener, the asian mix, 10 Seasons Best, b/c well i love them, and can't wait to have some extras in my bag for prizes, one handy scraper ( white), one citrus peeler, Oh, and I'll get the lemon hand soap for free too, as I was the host :> So excited!
 
Get TWO Handy Scrapers!!!!!!! One is useless IMHO.
 
Oh, I love the citrus press and I use my kitchen shears everyday.

Did you know you can order the SB's on your supply order? They're 10 for $6, which makes them just 60 cents each. Also, the seasonings are way discounted on our supply orders as well. I know you had free product to use, but I always try to use the free product for things I can't get at a steep discount myself.

I'm attaching a document with some helpful tips about supply orders. Enjoy your goodies! HTH!

I use the knife along with the handy scraper with no problem. I have more than one handy scraper but only use one at a time.

I vote for the fluted pan if you don't have it yet. People love it - microwave cake, chicken, meatloaf, etc....

...oh and definitely the can opener is a must!! Good choice!

This is a great doc! Thanks! ...but it needs updating - some of the items on it have changed. ;)
 
Yeah...I haven't even looked at it in awhile, because I haven't been recruiting. I didn't originally create it, just took it and cleaned it up to my liking. Anyone is welcome to correct any outdated information and repost!
