Kitchen Collection

If you're a bargain hunter, don't overlook these value-priced, corporate stores, the majority of them located in outlet malls around the country. The store carries cookware, bake-ware, small appliances, cutlery, gadgets, dinnerware and pretty much anything else you can think of, including dish towels, compost keepers and utterly frivolous doodads. Need a child-safe hot dog slicer (shaped like a wiener dog, his doggie bowl holding the ketchup) or an ice cream scoop with a hollow handle to hold candy sprinkles? Of course, you do. You'll see name brands like Kitchen-Aid, Cuisinart, Pyrex and Wear Ever here, but you won't pay high prices because what you're getting is factory overstock, warehouse clearance, special purchase items and factory-refurbished small appliances.
