Hope you had a great New Year's!
OK, this is an expensive one to start with, but here's the deal - Weber gas grills never go on sale - except today. Finding this just doesn't happen - everybody sells them for the same price. $100 off a Weber today. This will end, so start your year off right, buy the grill you already should have (if you don't have it), and have it arrive at your house for free.
Weber Genesis Gold C - $100 off
This one is a big winner--it really is $100 cheaper than almost everywhere else. We have a Weber Silver C, and it's fantastic. Consumer Reports gives Weber absolutely top marks too, since they rarely break down and do a great job of cooking. TIP: Get two old, rusty, used propane cylinders . Exchange them at Home Depot for full ones--they'll give you two tanks in great shape full of gas for about $20 each. Once you have nice tanks, fill them up instead of exchanging them--it costs half as much!
Today's special kitchen item: high-quality, low-price service for 8. Oneida's a great brand, the reviews are excellent, and they're 50% off normal price today.
Satin Sand Dune Service for 8
Continuing on the kitchen - Calphalon's now putting hard-anodized sets on sale.Includes three sizes of nonstick omelet pans, chef's pan, and two saucepans. This could replace much of your current pots & pans without significant expense. (The commercial sets are better quality, but as these prices go down, their value goes up!) This, plus a new commercial saucepot with pasta insert.
Calphalon Professional Cookware Set
Commercial 6 1/2-Quart Saucepot
Regular readers will know that we LOVE our Calphalon commercial hard anodized pots and highly recommend them to everyone. The only catch is that you can't put them in the dishwasher. They clean up easily with a quick soak, though.
Small version of the George Foreman grill. We'll stop listing it when it stops going on sale. The description even says it cooks tofu dogs. Mmmmm.
George Foreman Champ Grill
Friday only has a huge sale on a whole number of Orion products. Start looking at them beginning with the two great deals - high-quality binoculars at a really reasonable price and a great starter telescope.
8x42 Waterproof Binoculars
StarSeeker Refractor Telescope
This is a classic thing to sit around, taking up space, never to be used again. If you have a child who's interested in the skies, start out by showing them pictures like these and reading them books. If they love it and get excited, THEN bring out the telescope.
There have been a lot of deals lately on high-end electric shavers. I can't really imagine spending more than $100 on that, so I've been ignoring them - if you are willing to do so, look around. This is the first top-shelf cordless shaver under $100 I've seen - wet/dry, cordless, etc. I still use manual, but if I was thinking of changing, I'd buy this.
Panasonic Wet 'N Dry Men's Cordless Shaver
We generally avoid tools - I don't know why, probably because they're expensive - and in Seattle, it isn't exactly mowing season. (Well, I don't much like mowing anyway.) This is a great deal on a cordless (there's that word again) rear bag lawn mower - on sale an extra 5% today.
Black & Decker Cordless Lawn Mower
Remember that these only work well for smaller yards; they're not powerful enough to mow a big yard.
Finally - courtesy of one of my coworkers, who bought this for a friend - Extraordinary Chickens 2004 Wall Calendar. You need this calendar!
