MOTHER OF ALL SALES
If you like bargains, get out your red marker and circle April 7 on your calendar: It's the Chefs Catalog Warehouse sale at 5050 Centennial Blvd. Doors open at 8 a.m. and the sale ends at 3 p.m.

The warehouse where the sale takes place is east of the retail store. Parking and the entrance to the sale are on the east side of the building.

So how good is this sale? I bought a portable convection oven for $50 at the last sale. The retail price for the oven in their catalog was more than $1,000. Not everything will have such deep discounts, but most stuff is at least 50 percent off or more. Commercial cookware, Broilking buffet servers and warming trays, Pro-line coffee makers, Buffalo china, SAECO espresso makers, convection ovens and flatware are few of the items you can expect to find.

All sales are final -- no refunds. Only cash and checks will be accepted.
