I have the Kitchen Aid Professional 600. I happened to be in Sam's Club one day and there was a one time deal flash special. The mixers were $199. Different colors but not many for sale. I bought one and one for my daughter. Sam's don't have the special sales much anymore.
They use to have great items for the sales. I got a set of All Clad stainless cookware for $99. I about fainted that day, That is usualy a price for one skillet. I was surprised at the many who had no idea what a bargain that was. My daughter said mom stop shouting what a bargain this is in the store. LOL
Both girls got All Clad for Christmas that year and still using it. And we did compare it to the retail All Clad at the Dept store. Same set. Every now and then I meet someone that will commen ot the deal of a lifetime finding All Clad there that day. We laugh and relive our amazment. LOL I love to be reminded of remember when.
