I've actually been working part-time as a kitchen assistant at Sur La Table for the last 4 years and have a few gadgets from the store. Unfortunately, my kitchen is rather tiny and I simply cannot fit a big Kitchenaid mixer or ice cream machine. And so, I thought I'd buy a few little things instead.
I was hoping that I would be able to use my 40% employee discount toward the $10 gift card, but that wasn't the case. And so I wandered around the store for 20 minutes, mentally calculating how much money I could spend :)
Below are my purchases and the receipt: I only paid 42 cents out of my own pocket.
Who can't use an extra wooden spoon? And I simply love red in my kitchen, so the towel and scrubby will fit right in. Although, I will probably only use the towel as background for my photos. The 3 biscuit cutters will be useful for making cookies, raviolli, or maybe even cutting out perfectly shaped potato disks.
Thanks for sharing this. It's funny. Sur La Table is a great store, but the prices can be high. You just have to know how to poke around to find deals. Or get lucky. You were extra lucky to have a discount and gift card!
ReplyDeleteI have a $10 gift card too, going to spend mine this weekend!
ReplyDeleteok so since you have a checkered towel now you have to either bake a pie or make fried chicken. if pie, i request cherry. if fried chicken, i request slightly spicey.
ReplyDeleteAnd here I thought you would only be able to buy a fridge magnet! Good job :D
ReplyDeleteI think the towel would be a cute photo background idea. I saw you were on sugar bomber!
ReplyDeleteLove Sur La Table...I can spend hours and hours in the store. Great buy!
ReplyDeleteYou know I've never shopped at this store. Need to take a look for sure.
ReplyDeleteI love trying to find all sort of little things at expensive kitchen stores (why do they always seem so expensive, I wonder..) It's just much more fun to come home with 20 small things, instead of one big!
ReplyDeleteOMG..if I worked there I would NEVER get a paycheck. It would be spent before I earned it
