I got the blender from Scott at Costco for $379.00 plus tax. That’s $20.00 less than the blendtec web site.
Blendtec is famous for their “will it blend?” commercials which ask this question for various “non-blendable” products like golf balls, glow sticks, a tape measure (my favorite) and much much more. The commercials put founder Tom Dickson in a white lab coat with saftey goggles demo’ing his high powered blender… how cool is that?Anyhow, the new blender has a home next to my $26 coffee pot.
Q: How can you justify spending $410.00 (including tax) on a blender?
A: I’m currently $350.00 upside down in this blender. (My last blender was $60.00 at Target).
My Plan:
Write a new blog post for each beverage/soup/coffee drink I blend and estimate the savings until I reach 350.00. Each blog article will include a rating of the results of the blender and my satisfaction with each beverage/soup/coffee drink I make… If the rating is 4 stars or better, I’ll share the recipe… and the blender setting I used… Sound Good? I think so.
