A lot of retailers have "specials" on certain pieces that seem to be exclusives and are way below the normal All-clad price. If you can use the particular piece, they can be bargains.

My favorites are from Williams-Sonoma:

A 10" SS fry pan with non-stick interior and a domed lid for $79.95 and the 12" with the regular lid for $99.99.
A 4qt SS soup pot with lid and ladle for $135. The pot is the same as the 4 qt saucepan but has two loop handles instead of the long handle.

I also just picked up a 2 qt SS saucier with wisk from Macy's for $69.95. It didn't come with a lid but the 4qt soup pot lid from above fits it (as does the 3, 3.5 and 4qt saucepan lids).

KA dropped off my radar when the price went from 2.99 to 4.99 at my Trader Joe's before disappearing altogether. Still available at Giant and Safeway in the $4.50+ range in the DC area. Unfortunately for KA, I can still get 25# bags of Gold Medal All Trumps bread flour at Costco for under $9. 25# bags of AP flour are $6 something. The animals, err, friends and family don't seem to notice the difference. Bread and blini are snarfed up with the same enthusiasm.

No, of course not. I was using 'silpat' in the Pickwickian sense, as in calling tissues 'kleenex'. mea culpa. :rolleyes:

If they are the type without fibres - grab yourself a couple to make stencils for chocolate making.

I just got mine today - I live pretty near the seller. I can't speak to it's quality, but for about $30 US I was willing to take a chance.

Here's the link:

I'll post information after I've used it, but that's not going to happen before the sale ends.

Sur la Table online is having an "Up to 75% Off" sale...even on their clearance items:
Sur la Table Sale

One such deal: BeaterBlade for KitchenAid mixers only $9.99.
When attempting to provide a link to this item, the price kept reverting back to the original price. If that happens again, try doing a search on their site for it while the sale is still going on to get the sale price.

Such a deal!

Edited to add that I ended up calling their customer service because the sale price on the BeaterBlade kept changing (one minute on sale, the next minuute not on sale). They explained that they had recently changed some of their online software and that was likely to be causing the problem. They gave me the sale price when I placed the order over the phone. Great customer service!

Yes, I just placed an order and was going to say that, too. Agreed about the customer service. Thanks so much for the great tip. I've been wanting one of these for a while.

I was going to also order an AeroGarden 3 ("Now: $5.99 Was: $49.99"), but they're sold out. (Mostly :sad: with a little :angry:)

I don't think that's true for everything; I picked up the 7.5 qt Rondeau, which looks like its $126 on the JB prince cite, for $90 buck. Am I missing something?

I recently found a deal on a used ACMC tabletop temperer for $400 plus shipping. The seller had two of them, and as of a couple days ago, still had the other one. I had been tossing the idea of getting a new Chocovision Rev1 or Rev2 around when I found this, and it seemed like a better deal to me. I can't see my chocolate production ever outgrowing the ACMC, unlike the Rev. They also are, from what I understand, easy to fix, and all the part can be purchased online.

Anyway, if anyone is in the market for one, drop me a line and I will pass along the contact info for the seller. She shipped very quickly and packed well.

I have no relationship with the seller but thought I would pass along a good deal, and I have already taken the risk of buying from her (it was a CraigsList ad), and it worked out fine.

If this is an inappropriate post, please just delete, mods.
