Confession time.. what did you get off the clearance rack?
Why oh why is it so hard to resist a deal? I was very good this time though! I only ordered 1 pack of each of the Stampin' Up! DSP packs that were on clearance. (Well I ordered 2 of the Petals & Paisleys)
I also ordered the Hodgepodge Hardware.
The Spring Bouquet Flower Punch (does anyone have this? Do you like it?)
I also ordered the Jumbo Wheel Lazy Days I think it is too cute!!
I ordered 3 of the Pink Gingham Ribbon it is too cute!!
Ok so what abou tthe Simply Sent Card Kit>?? Normally over $40 now $16.99 did I need that??
Might have to place another order.. ugh..
Bad thing is I was in bed and then heard about the sale and had to get up and check it out..
I think I did a lot better this time around.. How about you???
Yeah...thanks for that. I just HAD to go and take a look-see... But I DID like what I found, so THANKS - I didn't know that stuff was available.
I stocked up on a number of the DSP's since they are the ones I really like (Summer Picnic, Raspberry Tart) and have wanted to try a few others, so I got them too. Matching brads/buttons are always a plus, as is matching ribbon.
I got the hodgepodge hardware. (I always wanted that but the price tag scared me off.) Had to get some more dp too, especially Summer Picnic and Raspberry Tart. Ribbon Originals, too - I love that runched Chocolate Chip ribbon.
You asked about the Spring Bouquet punch. I have it and love it. I use it all the time still. It coordinates with the Looks Like Spring stamp set. But it is great with or without the stamp set.
Still trying to decide here, but ohmygosh love that raspberry tart DSP... am considering hodgepodge & more of the ribbon, too, and the summer picnic DSP and and and.....

I LOVE the clearance rack!!!!
I got lots the last time I ordered. This time I ordered rockability dp and my fave dp of all time...Sweet Slumber, but they were both sold out ;(
I did get baja coorduroy buttons. I"m too cheap to ever get the coorduroy buttons and I LOVE 'em. So it was a great deal! I also got two rolls of the kiwi/vanilla satin ribbon. I had almost a whole roll, but I just adore that ribbon, so I ordered more ;)
I see now that the hodgepodge is there at a wonderful price...wish I'd gotten that.
I also noticed they now have the flirty ribbon from about four years ago. I soooo loved that at that time, but really couldn't afford it and didn't buy it. I found it on the buy/sell/trade forum a few months back and got two and a half packs for about $5.00 total...a great deal, otherwise I'd order that. That has been my favorite ribbon pack of all time.

Well, it's kind of embarrassing, but I've probably gotten 25+ packs of DSP on clearance in the past few days, plus the hodgepodge hardware, a bunch of the buttons and brads, some of the bitty board books, a simply sent kit and some rub-ons. My justification is that I plan on doing a craft fair or two in the fall, and all of this will be great for altering things. It is bad that the deals are so good. But, if I'm gonna have to get it eventually, I might as well get it while it's a good price. I am planning on using the simply sent kit as my door prize at the main craft fair that I'm doing.
I bought a bunch last time they added new stuff a few weeks ago and so I go and look today and there will be more stuff I need to add. I honestly am going to have to start making and selling stuff to justify owning all this DSP!
I am going to get:
Juntos DSP
Summer Picnic
Petals & Paisley
Fall Flowers
Spring Silhouettes (since Wild Wasabi is coming back, right?!)
the HodgePodge Hardware
Spring Bouquet Punch
Lazy Days Wheel
Pacific Point Cord buttons (since Pacific Point is coming back!)
and of course, I will have to get 2 of the DSP packs to satisfy more hoarding problem and for scrapbooking!
Really it's only like a buck off of most stuff, what kind of deal is that? Maybe at half price I might go for it. Although I see they have added more designer paper to the clearance. Not enough to make me break my vow of not buying until credit cards are paid in full.

I think you are looking at the difference between the preferred pricing and regular price. That's only about 10%. However, the difference between the original catalogue price and what they are now is generally about 60+% off.
Guilty as charged:
Hodgepodge Hardware (bought the vanilla last year on clearance and have been wanting the silver ever since!)
2 On Board Books (make great little scrapbooks for the fiance when he's away on deployment)
Alphabet On Board (seems good for scrapbooking)
Cute Pink Gingham Ribbon (I couldn't resist!!!).
But oh how I hate that tax and shipping thing, always makes me want to buy more to make it worthwhile.

I have been pretty good about not ordering much from the clearance rack. Tomorrow I'm adding a few things:
Afternoon Tea dsp (great patterns & colors!)
Beachy jumbo wheel
magnetic box or two
two sets of rub ons
What steals!

You can still shop online through stampinup.com and just select your demonstrator. It will ask you if you have a demo when you create an account.
Heather can correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that if you select a demonstrator when you check out, you get the lowest possible price. The higher price if if you don't choose a demonstrator. Having a Stampin' Up! website should not matter.

This is what my customers do since I'm a demo just for fun and so don't really want to pay for the official demo website store. It works well & my gals say it's really easy to just enter my name when they do want to place an order online. I'm sure your demo will appreciate you finding her name on there vs. picking one at random and then of course you benefit from the even lower "preferred" pricing!
Good luck to everyone still shopping! There are certainly some amazing deals to be had right now for those that are quick enough to get things before they're gone

Hi, Christel.
You are right! From the customer's perspective, selecting a demonstrator through the main Stampin' Up! website gives them the same low prices as through an official demonstrator website.
The difference is for the demonstrators. Those who don't pay for the demo website every month don't get quite as good of benefits from the online orders as those who do pay for it.
Have fun with these awesome deals, everyone!! So hard to narrow it down....
Glad everyone else is finding some great deals too!!
Trina thanks for the feedback on the punch! Glad I got it now! Can't wait till it arrives!!!
Also.. for those that just go to the SU! main website and not to a demo's website yes I think everyone is correct in saying you get the preferred pricing if you order from a demo's website and if you insert a demo's name on the website. But, I think that if you just go to the main website, and you input a demo's name rather than order directly from the demo, I believe you pay more for shipping. I want to say the minimum shipping is like $8.95 instead of $6.95.

Sorry about that.. Maybe the sale is only in the US..
I have a demonstrator, but she does not have online web shopping. Do you need an online demo to get the offers from the clearance rack?
Like others have said, I think you can go to the main website and just insert your demo's name but I think you pay more for shipping, but I am not 100% sure. The shipping charge should be $6.95 for any order under $69.50, then 10% shipping above $69.50. If you place an order, check the shipping and see if it charges you more. Hope that helps.
My box should be here today. I got loads of the retiring DSPs...I use them all the time..the Soldiers dont care if the paper is retired.....I also got a lot of the retiring cardstocks. This is my third order of retiring stuff...wanna be well stocked. I also have a box arriving tomorrow...kinda nice having boxes two days in a row...lol
Confession time.. what did you get off the clearance rack?
