pampered chef parties

**momishem** · 02-01-2008, 09:12 PM

I don't know if this counts as frugal living, but I hosted a Pampered Chef catalog party the entire month of January and I did quite well. Now, I work in a school, so I had a captive audience, mostly women who love PC. Anyway, I passed around catalogs and collected orders and at the end of the month I had a total show of over $600! With the extra January hostess bonus I received $165 in free products! With the other stuff they give you, I got over $200 of merchandise for $22.00 out of pocket! I was thrilled. It is a way to get some really nice cooking stuff without hosting a "home cooking" show.

It went so well, that I am planning another party for next year, probably Tupperware maybe even a jewlery party. Those teachers love to spend money! And for a little leg work, I got a lot of stuff.

Just an idea. Something to think about.

I love PC particularly their stoneware. What did you wind up getting?

I got so much, I cannot even remember it to list it. It hasn't arrived yet, expecting it today. I know I got the large dots serving bowl, I just loved it and the round pizza stone with the handles and a bunch of gadgets and cookbooks. It was well worth any time I spent on it.

Have a great day.

That's great, I got a lot of pampered chef baking & cooking supplies the same way you did. I enjoy my pizza stone and the handles make it so easy to remove the stone from the hot oven. Have fun with your new kitchen supplies

That's a great way to get some really nice stuff

. I went to a party not long ago and got one of those cookie dough scoop things. I haven't made cookies yet to use it but I'm looking forward to it

When I got married, my mom's BF had a PC party that served as a bridal shower for me. Instead of her getting all the free stuff...I got it! It was great I got the free stuff and all of the guests purchased things for me. I use my pizza stone almost daily for biscuits and it is great to reheat stuff up. I really think I use AT LEAST one PC thing a day.

I may have a catalog party soon...thanks for the idea.

I love Pampered Chef. I have one of the small stoneware bakers, the pizza cutter, the mix and chop (HIGHLY RECOMMEND), the mini-muffin pan, an some of the towels and a wooden spoon.

That's awesome! I'm a jewelry consultant myself, so I'm a big supporter of people doing catalog/home shows. The incentives are always generous for people to host parties. Well worth the time. =)

Well, I had a blast doing it and I couldn't wait for it to come on Saturday. I kept tracking my shipment so I knew when it would arrive. My husband cooks a lot, so he was excited, too! And, schools are a great place for that sort of thing. Not everyone has that sort of way to find customers. I am lucky for that. My elementary school is the biggest in our community so that equals lots and lots of teachers and support staff.
