Love to hear what you are taking in your kit this Summer! Also, what does your store front look like???

Example: I have a big Pinic Basket I carry a lot of my tools in & its cute displayed on the red, white & blue table clouth ( lets me talk about our outlet)!!!

This is going to be a training email I start today with my Team & Love to hear your ideas$$$$
 
I bought a cheap beverage tub at Target for $5 and I'm going to get some sand or pea gravel to bring the Party Sticks and use them as my booking tree. Still working it out...
 
I have put the summer tools (grill basket, one of the BBQ tools, collapsable bowl, party plates, tumblers, utensils, caddy, party stick (1 of them), BBQ basting bottle, citrus press, ultimate mandoline...) in the Roasting Pan (I'm not taking the rack though) lined with the bright green microfiber towel (I may change that to the patriotic towel and use that outlet idea). I wish the fluted pan and salad spinner fit in too but...

I will be talking about how we have so many items that are perfect for summer cooking and saving. I'll start with how you can cook the meat for a full week in just one pan on just one day and go from there.
 
Beth that's a great idea!!

Deb, you can buy one of those plant sytrofoam thingies and cover it with basket ;grass'. Mush lighter than sand or gravel. :)
