I just got an email notifying me of a FoodSaver sale of 25% off everything. I wanted to let ya'll know in case someone was thinking about picking up one of these units. But when I went to look a little closer, I was annoyed by what I found.
One of the units they're featuring is the V-2840 in silver and black with one 11" roll as a bonus. They have the regular price before the sale listed as $159.99. So, with 25% off, that would be a sale price of $120 plus tax. Great price, right?
I was told about six weeks ago by a loved one to get the best price I could find, and they'd give it to me as a Christmas gift. So, I was motivated! I went to the site, and this is what I found. They listed the regular price as $149.99 for this same unit, on sale for $129.99 with three 8" rolls, three 11" rolls, and a bonus 11" roll thrown in for good measure. I spoke to a couple different reps because I was having trouble getting the discount online.
The first rep I spoke with clarified a couple things, and then said she could get it for me for $129.99. But the second rep told me he could do even better than that. He ended up getting it for me for $74.99! I also wanted the accessory kit for $39.99. So, it was a total of $121.88 for the FoodSaver unit, the accessory kit, and the seven rolls, with tax included, delivered!!
I asked him why he was able to get so much more off than the other rep, and he told me they run a lot of different discounts, and if the rep you speak to is very knowledgeable, you can do better. A lot of their reps are new and don't know about the better discounts. I thought that was really weird, but I didn't look a gift horse in the mouth. I copied the pricing information below from my order confirmation email so you could see it. The first prices listed are their regular prices. The second prices listed are what I paid with the discounts. Big difference!
I'm not saying $120 isn't a good price. What I am saying is that if you don't need the FoodSaver right now, you might want to wait a little bit. They might just run a better sale eventually with all kinds of extra stuff thrown in to sweeten the deal. Or ask to speak to a seasoned rep or a supervisor who might know about better discounts. I just happened to get lucky, but now that I know better, I'd never take their listed sale prices at face value. You've got plenty of room for negotiation with these units. Just thought ya'll ought to know. :wink:
