Do you ever lower your prices over time?

Good discussions!

If I've got some stale inventory I'll cut prices to cover cost of material and hopefully gain a little profit too. Seems to work well.
 
And by the way, I HATE PORK AND BEANS! But we sure eat a lot of them these days:)

No that is some good eating. Mix in some sliced up stadium red hots, a couple slices of cooked bacon, some brown sugar, catsup and mustard. Thanks Andy I now have an idea for dinner. :biggrin:


Hey Tam, if you eat crud like that, then you won't see old age. :eek:
On second thoughts, carry on my friend !!:biggrin:

What is 'catsup' anyway?? Cat Supper?? :confused:

Apologies for corrupting your thread George !! :)
If you were American rather than a Brit, I'd tell you "There ain't no difference" and it might also be called catchup and katsup, It is a tomato based condiment and typically has about the same ingredients whatever it's called.

My understanding is that ketchup in Great Britain is a totally different breed of cat :biggrin: that is, as typical for most British dishes (such as Mutton, Yorkshire Pudding, etc) inedible to anyone not born there.:tongue:

Smitty,
We do have ketchup here, mostly in the fast food outlets but unfortunately catching on in the shops too. We have Tomato Sauce which is probably the same as Ketchup without the E numbers or the 1000yr shelf life.:biggrin::wink:

Mutton is extremely rare in the UK and I don't know why. I love it. It's infinitely more tasty than lamb. It is very popular in South Africa ( my old haunt ) and can't be beat on the good old barbie ( or braai, if you prefer :wink:)

Yorkshire pudding ( not actually a pudding ) is something of a dying art.:frown:
Again the supermarkets have taken over with these horrible pre-cooked pieces of airated cardboard. A Sunday roast isn't complete without the Yorkshire Pud. :biggrin:
Actually I have not been to England for 55 years. It seems to me that mutton was in most of the butcher shops then - I was at Winchester and I don't believe there were any super markets around there at that time.
 
Ever lower your pen prices just to get rid of the pens because you're tired of seeing them in a pen cases?

In the past, Sierra style pens along with the Jr Statesman pens were my favorite pens to make. At one point I must have had well over two hundred Sierras and close to 100 Jr Statesmen pens ready to go. Since I all but stopped making kit pens over the past few years those numbers have dwindled drastically since I never replaced what I sold and now I have only a couple dozen Sierras and around 40 Jr Statesmen pens left.

My wife is doing a craft show saturday and I will help her setup and tear down so since I'm there I'm thinking of taking some of these pens and just selling them for little more than I have invested in them and chalk up the labor to having a good time in the shop.

So, does anyone else have the same feelings, ever get tired of seeing the same ole pens every time you go through the pen cases?
Sometimes abody puts things on sale....nearly all businesses do and I don't think anyone believes that the sale price becomes the regular price. Particularily at craft shows near the end of the season.
