Digital Scale Pre-Buy

**THE PRICES MENTIONED IN THIS POST ARE NOW OVER.  PLEASE SEE OUR COLD PROCESS SUPPLIES PAGE FOR THE NEW PRICES ON THESE SCALES**

For the past few years, we haven't been carrying digital scales as part of our supplies.  This is simply because digital scales can be purchased online for cheaper than we can get them wholesale.  However, after getting feedback from several of our students that they were having problems with their scales being accurate, and not being able to return the scale that was purchased online, we have decided to do a digital scale pre-buy.

We are selling these scales at a very special price on a pre-buy basis.  That means you will order and pre-pay for your scale now, we will place the order when we receive enough pre-buys, and we will arrange for you to pick up the scale when it is shipped by the supplier.  A small additional shipping fee will be collected when you pick up your scale.

The scales being offered at this price are available for a VERY LIMITED TIME.  To order, you will need to place your order and pre-pay for it no later than November 11th.  After that date, we will still have scales available, but you will no longer be able to order them at this special price.  Just send us an email letting me know which of the 2 models you would like as featured below.

Any questions?  Feel free to ask!

Option 1: Model P-11: $25 pre-buy price (normal retail $40)

• Measures up to 11 pound capacity in grams/ounces
• Sealed buttons and LCD to protect from spills
• Two button operation

• Choose your color: Silver, Black, White, Red, Orange, Green, Blue

Option 2: Model A-13: $50 pre-buy price (normal retail $90)

November Fragrance Oil of the Month

We're starting a new feature around here:

Fragrance Oil of the Month!

Each month, we will be offering one of our new fragrance oils at a special sale price.   You can pick up a bottle of this fragrance for $1 off all month long (while supplies last).

For the month of November, our fragrance will be Peppermint Leaf.  

Peppermint Leaf is the perfect blend of cool refreshing peppermint with that slight herbal undertone that smells just like, well, a peppermint leaf.  This fragrance oil is perfect for those upcoming Christmas projects, and you can pick it up much cheaper than an essential oil with this sale.



Note for Cold Process Soapmakers: In our testing, the fragrance oil accelerated trace.  Make sure you use very low temperatures and a recipe you are familiar with before using this fragrance in cold process soap.

To order the Fragrance Oil of the Month, just send us an email or use the contact form on the right sidebar.  Sale prices are $4.00 for 1 oz, $7.50 for 2 oz, $12.50 for 4 oz, or $20.95 for 8 oz.
