Awesome Deals!

Had some strange inkling to check out the events at Expo on Sunday and found out that Mayer was having a sale there. As I was told by Yana that prices of the KitchenAid mixers can drop quite low during their sales, I told dad to get ready to hunt as soon as he woke up. (I was on  some US time zone). At the same time, I wanted to check out the Bugatti Diva.

 

Even though the price was really too much, I wanted to see how good it was. 

So got there and once we got in, we were greeted by convection ovens. Oh boy, another item on my wish list for the new house. That started our journey through the sale hall and it somehow ended abruptly around the corner as the next 2 showcases were for KitchenAid and Bugatti products. 

There were so many colours to choose from, we had to stand back and take a deep breath before approaching our target, but dad noticed a difference in prices for similar-looking models. The professional range was easy to spot, but this looked exactly like the candy colored ones, but had a nicer shine to it. So curious about the price difference, dad had to ask and we found out that the pricier product would have alloy coatings to the attachments, while enamel-coated ones came with the cheaper range. So since I can be quite a klutz, I was leaning toward the alloy-coated ones. We would also get an extra mixing bowl with that choice. 

Down side, according to the sales people, was that we had to pre-order the mixer. That made it all better for us as we were thinking of buying it at a later date when we've moved to the new house. The deal was already sealed for the KitchenAid mixer, but the lady had to add one more bonus which was a $50 discount with any pre-ordered mixer. It was like an offer we couldn't resist just shoved into our faces. 

Then as dad was deciding between all the mixers, I stepped over the invisible boundary to the Bugatti showcase. I decided to check out the price, wondering if they would have a substantial discount on it so I could save up for the next sale. Lo and behold, the price was slashed from $1899 to $899. I thought it was a joke and asked the sales staff. She replied that it was a thousand dollar discount for all the display sets. Then I looked at all the display sets and one just called out to me, that chrome one just like in that picture above. It was a hundred dollars more, but at a thousand dollar discount, I took the extra fingerprints that came with it. The plus point was also the fact that only the body was displayed while the cheaper one had  all the parts out. At least I know my set wouldn't have had the portafilter  accidentally dropped while on display. 

I told dad I'm going to get it as it was another deal too good to pass up, and we end up telling the staff to ring us up for the two items. We were then told we would be getting a salad chopper as a gift and ended up with 2. Well, it could end up as a good present. 

After paying, we lugged the coffee machine and choppers to the car and returned for another round. Good thing we did as dad got some education on cooker hoods and realised that all this while he was thinking of it all wrong. Also found a good deal on air conditioner installation for the new houses, as well as a new fridge. The best part about the whole sale was getting stuff we needed but having them all delived at a later date. 

I told dad that mom might kill me for the coffee machine, but I think she was secretly happy that she would be able to make her own cup of extra shot long black once we get it up and running.
