Raise your hand if you have to go to a pampered chef/tupperwear/naughty lingerie/home accent/wrought iron sconce I don’t need/and/or/candle party in the next few weeks.
I’m done. I’m not going. I’m not buying the crap to help you out or to stick in my guest bathroom.
I’m not going for the food or the free drinks or the mingling with other women I only know from seeing them at some school function last winter.
I’m not going to throw a party so you can get the extra large hurricane vase and I can get a 20-percent discount.
I’m not going to ask the same people I ask every single time to come. And I’m not going to go to their parties because they’ve run out of new people at work to invite.
I’m not going to feel obligated to buy something cheap so you can get your discount. I’m not going to make people I know feel obligated to buy something from me because I bought at their last party.
I’m not going to be tricked into thinking I need 2 dozen plum scented votive candles. I’m not going to buy yet another measuring cup that can’t seem to measure the solids or the liquids correctly after the first dishwasher safe cycle.
I’m not going to feel bad, either.
Stop the madness.

Late to this party, read a good bit of the above comments, and decided to chime in with my own. Pampered Chef, like most of these party businesses, has to make the % they pay their people somewhere. I’ve found identical products to each of theirs elsewhere for less because of this. I’ve never found all the products in one location for less. If you view it as sometimes it is good to get out and be entertained and fed during your shopping trip, these parties are for you. I’ve known a couple of women that really treated it as a business and do very, very well, but anyone considering it should assume unless you are willing to put in 50-60 hours per week and probably many nights and weekends, you won’t be making that sort of dosh. Over all, I’ve been most impressed with their customer service and the fast, easy recipes. I’ve never tried one of their recipes that wasn’t tasty. My hubby just loves the hot sandwich where you use a canned pizza crust, sliced roast beef from the deli, onion, bell pepper, and mozz cheese. Just saute the onions until they start to caramelize, add your sliced bell pepper. Spread out the pizza crust, layer it with sliced roast beef, mozz cheese, and the peppers and onions. Roll it up so you end with a long roll and bake until golden brown and crusty on top.
Whomever up there said Pampered Chef makes their products without chemicals, is full of it. Unless they’re selling a perfect vacuum, it has chemicals in it. Even air is made of chemicals. The question is, are they harmful chemicals? I would suspect if they won’t tell you what the gravy seperator is made of, at best they don’t know and neither do you. You can’t know if it is a concern if you don’t know what it is made of. That said, information on certain plastics is really just becoming mainstream. I find it most likely Pampered Chef will have a new, improved version before you know it.
Face it folks, Pampered Chef stuff is junk made by cheap labor in China. Pampered Chef should be ashamed of using cheap slave labor in China to produce their products. Go to Walmart, Target, Bed Bath and Beyond. The comparable products are better and at lower prices. Check out Big Lots too.
