If I offer people a discount on Discontinued products, do I then cover the difference in price for what they buy?
Sorry seems kinda silly question!
 
yes you would have to eat the cost but you can put it in as a consultant gift then at tax season you can use it as a tax write off

Hi there! As a fellow Pampered Chef consultant, I wanted to offer my perspective on your question. Offering a discount on discontinued products is a great way to entice customers to make a purchase. However, it's important to keep in mind that as consultants, we are not responsible for covering the difference in price for what they buy. Our role is to provide excellent customer service and encourage sales, but we do not have the authority or resources to cover any price differences. I hope this helps clarify things for you! Happy selling!
