I just rec'd an email stating that this is the last month we would be selling the ice cream sandwich maker & other items. Do some people already know the items that are being discontinued?
 
Who did you receive this email from? I'm pretty sure that noone knows what is being discontinued and if they did, it wouldn't be disc. until Sept or Oct when the new catalog comes out (can't remember which month that is)... I think that someone is mistaken...
 
The ice cream sandwich maker has already been discontinued...we won't be selling it this month anyway.;)

The only time items are discontinued are with changeover, and we will know at the end of NC what those items will be for the Fall Selling Season.
