Sporeworks Thanksgiving Sale
Some companies like to do their Thanksgiving sale the day AFTER Turkey Day, now notoriously known as "Black Friday." Online companies like to do their mega-sales on the Monday after Turkey Day, now known as "Cyber Monday." We think both of these are pretty baloney names for made up sales holidays, so we're just going to give you a great deal ALL WEEK LONG! That's right, 10%-off All* orders until Midnight December 2nd! Offer excludes All-American products, so no discount on Pressure Canners and Sterilizers. We will also continue to feature our monthly special: until the end of November we're featuring the Psilocybe cubensis : Our Choice 4-Pack Monthly Special! For $34 you get a four pack of quality samples, that works out to $8.50 each. A heck of a deal!

Sporeworks Monthly Special through the end of November
We hope everyone was able to take advantage of the Trick or Treat Halloween special. We left it up a week longer than we planned... but there were no complaints! We're now moving on to this month's special. It is a deal we've been offering for a long time, so it's not really a "special," but we're always surprised more people don't take advantage of this deal. So in the lull after the Halloween madness, we're taking this opportunity to give it a little time in the spotlight: Until the end of November we're featuring the Psilocybe cubensis : Our Choice 4-Pack Monthly Special! For $34 you get a four pack of quality samples, that works out to $8.50 each. A heck of a deal! Be sure to check in with us around Thanksgiving time, as we may also be tempted to run a more temporary, but very attractive sale!

Sporeworks Weekly SPecial through March 28
Well, it looks like we got some Media Antibiotic that is nearing expiration. Best thing we can do with it is mark it down and hope it moves... so until March 28th we're selling our vials of Media Antibiotic for only $5 a pop! Now, does it mean that expired Antibiotic is "bad?" Probably not... this stuff has a date of 04/08 and chances are it won't become magically unstable on May 1rst. It'll probably be good for some time, especially if you keep it stored in the fridge, as we do when it's waiting to be sold. Now for other good news; many things are back in stock, including Psilocybe azurescens : Hammond Strain Flying Saucers spore syringe microscopy kits.
