I have been told several times that I should consider becoming a personal shopper. But that's not quite right. What I think my friends are trying to say is that I should find a way to make a living off my ability to unearth some really sweet deals. It's usually just a combo of being in the right place at the right time, but I admit, it is uncanny how often it seems to happen. Actually, it's not that remarkable once you consider that I'm just always shopping for something. I don't think I'm a full-on shopaholic, but that's probably only because I'm married and have a family. If I were still a single gal, I'm sure I'd be in trouble.
Last week, a former co-worker emailed me and said he wanted to buy his girlfriend a KitchenAid mixer. He wanted top of the line (she's a baking enthusiast--so obviously I thought she sounded great) and knew it would cost him a pretty penny. Well, I happen to know that he is saving for another HUGE purchase in the very near future...think sparkle, sparkle, Asscher cut--and no I'm not tipping her off because she doesn't know me...so I feel it is my duty to get him the best deal out there.
Looky, looky what I found.
Amazon has the 600 professional series available for $299--though there is one catch. That price is valid only on the meringue color. But I like it in white. PLUS, there is a $50 rebate (!!!). I have the Epicurean model, which is the 600's predecessor, and I love the 6 quart capacity mixing bowl.
And yes, the above is a referral link. That means if you decide to buy it from linking thru me, your price is not affected but Amazon will give me 4% for referring you--I point this out because referral links offend some and I'm not trying to be sneaky. I'm also pointing this out specifically to my friend D, who'd better click through to buy it--else no more shopping assistance for you! Of course I'm kidding. Sort of.
I also wanted to post asap in case any of you were hoping for a mixer from Santa--and who knows how long the deal will last. My mixer is already getting a workout making huge batches of freezer dough for December's cookie-thon!
