Cool News from the beehive


THRIVE SALE

Now that the dust has settled from the purchase and Christmas season, we've had some time to reflect on some of the stuff we learned in our business classes long ago.  We seemed to recall something about inventory management.  You know, FIFO, LIFO, Just-in-time and realized that we are pretty much working on the "Just-too-much" method.  So, we got looking at the THRIVE and noticed that some of it is getting a little dated.  And we are all about being new and hip here at the Beehive.  Anyhow, we've pulled some of the older cans and put them on sale (some up to 30% off).  They still have plenty of shelf life (like 20 years or more) but we thought you'd prefer to see them on your shelves than on ours and thought we'd help a little with that.  There are lots of great items (we've already had a few lucky customers get first pick).  They won't last long and we cannot hold items.  So don't wait.  Come in today and get a great deal.  Here's a short list of what's been reduced:

Garden Seeds

Blueberries

Butter Powder

Cheese Blend

Peach Drink

Pears

Broccoli Cheese Soup

Cornmeal

This week we also have in some new pantry sized cans and Mylar pouches of a few THRIVE items.  We think they are a great trial size for those who want to buy a smaller quantity before they invest in some of the larger cans.  We only have a few items but hope to have several more in a few weeks.

 

And don't forget that we are having a great class this Saturday:

FOOD STORAGE 101

Saturday, January 22nd

Registration (by Thursday Jan 20th) is required

Call us at 750-1907 or email us at beehivemercantile@gmail.com to register

Don't forget that all Greg Olsen prints and figurines are on sale this month for 30% off.

We still have some great 2011 calendars.  They are now 50% off.  But, if you spend $100 or more, we'll let you pick one out for FREE.  Also, if you buy a copy of 101 Gourmet Cupcakes in 10 Minutes, we'll give you the matching calendar FREE.

Finally, we want to remind everyone that all the Downeast and Modestly Sassy clothing are 50% off.  We will have the clothes in until the end of next month and then we will be moving things around a little to make room for some great new stuff.  The clothing will not be discounted any further before we faze it out.  So for those of you who are holding out for a better deal, this is it.  Once it's gone, it's gone.  There are still lots of really great items (including some darling little girls' clothes) at some fabulous prices.
