Save $290 On A KitchenAid Stand Mixer!

Believe it, people.  This is the BEST deal I have ever seen on a KitchenAid in my LIFE.  And we're not talking about the Artisan Series, here.  We're talking about the Professional one.  The one that I have and love and adore and forever pledge to be faithful to.  The one that holds double and triple batches, but still works beautifully on a single box of cake mix.

If anyone in your life wants a KitchenAid Stand Mixer for Christmas, this is your chance!  But move fast, because I bet these are definitely going to sell out quickly.

It's Amazon.com's Deal Of The Day, and it comes in two colors - silver or a beautiful cinnamon red.  Regularly $499.99, on sale for $259.99.  Throw in an additional $50 mail-in rebate { which brings it down to $209.99! }, a free two year subscription to Food & Wine or Travel + Leisure and you've got a Christmas gift fit for any foodie on your list!

Hurry!

It's Crock-tober!

OK, maybe it's not technically Crock-tober because it's not technically October any more. { When did that happen?  How is Thanksgiving next week? }

October or November aside, it's Crock-Pot season. And if you're looking to give one as a gift for the Holidays { or maybe snag one for yourself }, now is the time!

To get your $5:

• Purchase a Crock-Pot brand slow cooker for $24.50 or more any time between now and November 30
• Print out this mail-in rebate form { don't miss page 2 }
• Cut the UPC code from your Crock-Pot box
• Mail in your form, UPC and original sales receipt { no copies accepted } to the address listed on the form before December 31
• Your check should arrive in 6-8 weeks

Amazon has a bunch of Crock-Pots on sale right now, so combinined with this rebate you're looking at a great deal on a kitchen work horse. I have this one and adore it. Especially the "Little Dipper". Perfect for chocolate fondue and cheese dip. { Which would make for a perfect meal in my world. Chocolate and cheese. Yes, please. }

Happy shopping!

Fabulous Deal Alert!

For me, the happiest trip to the mailbox is always the one where Spencer returns with Southern Living, Bon Appetit, Conde Nast Traveler and Atlanta Magazine.  For some reason, they always come on the very same day.

And now, I'm really excited to add another one to the list: GARDEN and GUN.  My parents have subscribed for a while now and I love it.  It's one of the first things I reach for on their round, red ottoman when I'm at home.  I've just never been able to justify getting it for ourselves.  But, through tonight... you can get up to a two year subscription (12 issues) for just $3.50 per year!

The magazine features any and all things southern: food, travel, entertaining.  It's downright fabulous.

Click here to order and enter the coupon code "GARDEN".  I'm told it will take 8-14 weeks for the first issue to arrive, so these would be great Christmas gifts!

The deal ends tonight, so hurry!

And PS - please vote for my Salted Caramel Apple Cheesecake in the Delta Biscoff Bake-Off! : )

It's baaaaack!

Last year I bought a Camp Twin Lakes Partners Card.  And used it to save 20% on all sorts of fabulous Atlanta area retailers.  Including a home for our china and crystal from Pottery Barn.  { Technically a bookshelf, but who cares? I love it. }

This year, the Partners Card is valid at more than 350 restaurants and retailers in the Atlanta area from October 28 - November 6.  I'll likely be hitting up:

• Tory Burch.  Love. The. Whole. Store.
• Williams-Sonoma and Sur La Table.  No surprise there!
• Henri Bendel.  There's one in Atlanta now!
• Brooks Brothers
• Tavern at Phipps { shopping makes me hungry... and their BBQ Chicken Chips are unreal }

Cards are $60 and 100% of it goes to benefit Camp Twin Lakes for children with serious illness, disabilities and other challenges.  You can buy online or at participating retailers.  Spend $300 using your 20% off and you'll break even.

Ladies and gentlemen, start your Christmas shopping engines { and save 20% }!

Free Knife Sharpening at Sur La Table!

As the scar on my thumb will tell you, a dull knife is a dangerous knife.  Or maybe that says something more along the lines of "don't try to slice that teeny end piece of crostini in half, dummy".

Either way, Sur La Table has a fabulous promotion going on for the month of October.  Grab your two favorite knives and head to the nearest one because they'll professionally sharpen them for free!  { If you're in Atlanta, that would be Perimeter Mall. }

Much safer than sharpening at home!
