Smart Shopping: Maximizing Your $100 Pampered Chef Dollars for Parties

[Pam6170]

I am a new consultant and got my first $100 PC dollars. I want to make some really good buys, things that I will for sure use at my parties. What can you suggest?

 

[chefann]

Go through the recipes you want to make, and see what tools they use that you don't have. Things you may use often will be different from other people's lists. Don't forget that there are a couple of products available on supply order (at a discount), and you can use your PC$ for those, too.

if you are looking for some spring items t hat will be coming out i suggest that you go to the cc and get some samples they are at great prices i did that the month i got pc dollars. it was stuff that i wanted also.

I suggest getting the booster kit for your paperwork supplies and then waiting patiently until April for Kit Enhancement and using them when you get 40% off. Maximize your benefits!!!!Some things I like:
TTA - a must!
Gadgets - veg. peeler, corer, other utensils to use
Forged Cutlery!!!!
12" Exec. Skillet
Deep Covered Baker
Round Stone with Handles
1 piece of Woven Selections
More prep bowls (on supply sheet on sale)
More scrapers

What I likeYou could also use it for Conference or for Supply Orders (if you didn't know).

I REALLY like:
Bamboo Spoons/Spatulas etc.
Stoneware - Mini Baker, Fluted Pan (I wish I had it), Medium Bar Pan
Adj. Measuring Spoons
Color-Coating Knifes (Santoku)
Small Batter Bowl
Tool Turn About is nice to have

HTH!

p.s. I wish I had the Juice Reimer (sp?) or the Citrus Press

 

[stefani2]

Oh Yeah!Janet, I agree.

Cookware - You will sell TONS if you have YOUR personal experiences to share! And I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to have the DCB!!!....

Forged cutlery (I sell a lot of the santukos, and I never bring the small green santuko because that steals from sales of the forged cutlery)

Love the deep dish covered baker

Round stone w/rack ---- my most seasoned stone

scrapers

tool turn about, kept in my cabinet.

citrus press

BBQ turner

BBQ skewers

microfiber towels---i have about 10 of them

HTH!

I agree with Ann, look at the recipes you want to make for your shows and base purchases on that right now. With the new interactive show you may need a larger cutting board, different knives, measuring cups, etc. The large round stone with handles is a great purchase. Tool Turn About is a must, works great to carry all the little items in.

I agree with Ann too... check out the recipes and see what you'd like to make. Also if you don't know, hang on to them... you don't have to spend them as soon as you get them and you could earn more within your 90 days...

I agree with this. Unless there is absolutely something you need now, wait and see how much more you get.

 

[chefann]

So true- and might as well use them in Kit Enhancement month, whether you use the April (everybody), or new consultant (your 4th month). Even if they're free, you can get more when it's 40% off!

 

[Intrepid_Chef]

I agree ... KE is the month to use them ... I have about the same amount ... and if I get the 12 inch skillet AND the lid I might have just about enough left over for a citrus press or kitchen shears.

Reading about KE month (april) is it something we have to remember to order or does HO send us a reminder, flyer, etc?? I started last year in April so it did not apply to me and for some reason my 4th month (August) I didn't know about it either. THANKS! I'd love to get more things for 40% off.
