Living Near Vallejo Or Fairfield REALLY Pays Big Dividends This Time Of Year
December 8th, 2009 categories: Fairfield-Gr Valley, Local Stuff, Vallejo
Every December, one of the things we always look forward to is Meyer Cookware’s 10-day Factory Sale.
In case you’ve never heard of Meyer, they manufacture Circulon, Analon, Kitchen Aid, Farberware and several other popular lines of cookware.
And every December, they open their doors to the public with incredible deals.
About 7-8 years ago, we purchased a set of Circulon pots that were about 40% of what they were selling for at Macy’s. And we’ve been coming back every year since.
Even though our kitchen is jam-packed with all sorts of pots, pans and cooking utensils, we still always seem to find something at the Meyers’ sale that we absolutely “must have.”
In addition to their terrific factory sale prices, they also offer an additional 30% off if you have a coupon. If you don’t have one or forget yours, they’re very liberal and will usually give you that same extra 30% off just for mentioning the coupon.
Our youngest daughter, who just graduated from college, was with me when I stopped by to check out this year’s version of the sale earlier today.
She spotted a few pallets full of boxes of 10-piece Rachael Ray cookware sets that had an “as-is” sign on them (pictured above). They were on sale for $48. The boxes had a few tears, dings or dents, but the customer service manager for Meyer assured us that the product inside was just fine.
They had the same packages without any dented cardboard on sale for $95 with the 30% off coupon, which was still $65 less than Bed, Bath and Beyond’s price of $160.
But being a recent college grad who’s looking for a teaching job, my daughter naturally opted for the biggest savings. So she snapped up one of the $48 packages and saved a cool 70%.
So if you live anywhere in the Bay Area and are looking for some incredible deals on cookware, get over to the Meyer Cookware sale in either Vallejo (on Curtola Pkwy) or in Fairfield (2001 Meyer Way) soon.
The factory sale only goes through next Monday (Dec. 14).
After that, it’s back to retail.
