I know I'm not the only one who used to talk on the CLBB about favorites from Penzey's. I'm still a fan, and if you are too, you may have already seen this, but in case you haven't Tomorrow, our next big giveaway offer is coming. It’s a valuable one. In our stores this will be a flat-out free offer. Online this offer will still be free, but there will be some shipping charges involved, though we are reducing the minimum for free shipping to try and help. If you live close to one of our stores, you might want to be clearing some time to visit Friday or Saturday. And if you have friends or family near one of our stores, especially those who could use something valuable for free, you might want to let them know it’s coming. They will be happy with you  As a business trying to use commerce to keep the spirit of America alive, we’ve figured some things out. One thing is that a good message travels far, but a good message with a great deal has the possibility of reaching everywhere. So tomorrow, if you like our message and our offer, please pass it along to those you believe might find it uplifting. We do have really nice Spices and Seasonings. New customers are a big part of how we can afford to do what we do. Your help is greatly appreciated. I would like to share the offer details with you now, but as I’ve pointed out before, if you’ve ever googled “Penzeys Boycott” you know not everyone roots for our success. Once the details are released the undermining begins. Our plan is to have the offer up tomorrow at penzeys.com by 7am Central, and in your email inbox early in the morning. Please keep an eye out for it. This is a good one. And please come be a part of something good. There is a community to Penzeys that goes far too unnoticed until those days where everyone shows up and then it becomes a party. Plus, the bigger the turnout for this offer, both online and in our stores, the better we will become for what we hope to do this fall in the run up to November 6th. We’ve tremendously increased our capacity online, and in our stores have twice as many of the new offer as we gave away in both boxes and rain checks for the Soul offer last April. Please plan on coming in to overwhelm us and show us where we need to improve. Thanks for your ongoing support, Bill Penzey bill@penzeys.com If this message was forwarded to you and you aren't yet on our mailing list, you can signup. |

Thank you Beth! I am a big fan of Penzeys. They have a store within decent distance from us and I just realized I'm running low on a few spices.
I used to be on the mailing list but unsubscribed. Too many emails if I remember correctly.

Special is a "box" of 1/2 cup Salsa and Pico seasoning and 2oz vanilla extract. Happy me - I also needed to order some oregano and Italian herb mix. I ran out of both right after I put in my last order.

Back from the store where they know me very well. Had to give my email address again. Apparently special offers now come by email and not with the catalogue. Come to think about it I haven't seen one for a while.
Thank you again Beth!!!

Yes, I hadn't realized it, but they stopped mailing the catalog and are putting the budget into promotions. The store here is nearly an hour away, and I couldn't justify the trip. I don't think there is anything I need to order, I already have the pico and salsa seasoning and some vanilla so I don't think I will be ordering,but I'm glad some others could take advantage of the offer.

I took advantage of the last promo that they had -- and my little ol' spice area is crowded! Ruins my organization and but hey I did find some new favs. So far 'm enjoying the Arizona Dreaming and the Florida Seasoned Pepper. I haven't tried all of the items from my last order. If I get to the farmers market and get some tomatoes, I'm going to use the Salsa and Pico.
Good thing it isn't very convenient to get to the Penzeys near me since soooo easy to spend money there, but it would be nice to just pop in and get those freebies. And maybe just pick up something if running low or want to try something new (aka come home with just one or two things : )). I'm a fan of their smallest size bottles (and that they use glass). I am certainly set for awhile as far as new blends/spices. I would like to use the spices and not let them just sit in my cabinet since I have done that with a few blends/spices in the past that I hardly used or just ended up not really liking. So far I've really liked the new ones that I've tried.
Enjoy!

I used the last promo to try the Mural of Flavor which was amazing on fish and chicken. Add me to the folks glad they live too far away from a Penzey's store. And I reorganized my spices today!

Come to think about it I haven't seen one for a while. Thank you again Beth!!! In an effort to clean up my inbox I unsubscribed a while ago from a lot of stores and businesses. Penzey's was one of them because I don't need an e-mail to entice me to go- my store is five minutes away and is a regular stop when I need something. I may have to rethink if that's how they're doing special offers. I spend enough at that store that a free jar here and there is a really nice perk! |

I'm not sure if you have to be on the email list to be able to take advantage of the offers, but it is certainly the best way to find out about them.

I'm on a Penzy's diet right now because I took advantage of their last offer and my pantry is overflowing! You and me both, I also ordered from that big promo a few months back. I ordered 2 or 3 things, and they gave 8 freebie spices/mixes as part of the gift. I'm storing that new overflow in a tupperware type container. I haven't tried all the freebies yet -- I did use the cinnamon today. Enjoy all your new Penzey goodies. |

I didn't order anything this last time and am putting myself in pause mode. In 2-3 months, it will be time to start thinking about holiday gifts and what I will need (usually when we make rubs and I make vanilla for the following year), but I should be good until then.

My friend picked up their jar of their new Pico Fruta and brought it over with a pineapple and a cantaloupe. We both thought the idea of seasoning fruit really strange but gave it a try. It was fantastic on the pineapple chunks! Spicy, sweet, salty, and something completely different. It was also good on the melon, but my friend doesn't like much spicy foods, and the melon didn't help cut the heat of the chili at all in the spice blend- where the acidic pineapple worked some magic to make it less spicy.
We're looking forward to trying it on a margarita- DH wants to try it on a Bloody Mary. I also think it would be excellent in a fresh fruit salsa!

This brings back a lot of great memories from part of my childhood when we lived in Mexico City and I was introduced to wedges of fresh pineapple and coconut dusted with chile spices. If you squeeze lime on fruit like cantaloupe it helps. I introduced my husband to this several years ago and he was amazed. Our local stores carry multiple versions of the Pico Fruta and lots of pre-cut fruits or even veggies like jicama for dusting. The only reason I'm happy when my washer/dryer breaks down is that the local laundromat is across the street from a little grocery that brings over trays of fresh cut, chile-dusted fruit and bottles of Topo Chico mineral water for sale. The best of Mexico! |
