In reply to Kay. Thanks for the recipe suggestion. I actually do love it. It makes the creamiest soups and smoothies!

Vitamix is a wonderful gift for yourself. I’ve had one for the last 8 yrs and love it!! It has been extremely useful and has earned a [permanent place on the counter.

If you dont have the book that comes with it, there’s a great yahoo group for vitamix. check out their files/fodlers for recipes. they have tons.

We sue it for our daily breakfast smoothies, making ‘icecreams’, grinind just about anything…, almond milk, etc.

In reply to Jenn. Jenn -- Thanks for the insight into Kohl's. That would have helped me a great deal. The items that were purchased for my son were much too large (4 sizes too big) and it would have been great to exchange them for something else. I could hold onto them, but I might be storing them for quite awhile.

In reply to save. spend. splurge.. I'll let you know what I think after I use it for awhile. Still not sure it's worth the price tag.

The clothing at Kohl’s was probably purchased with Kohl’s Cash during a promo and that is why the return amount was so low. When that has happened to me they have told me the full price of the purchase (say, shirt was $10 but we can only give you $2 due to KC), and have let me do an even exchange if I found something for exactly the amount (would have to be exactly $10 in that case- not $9.99, not more with an offer to pay the difference, etc.). Not sure if this is the case in your situation, but thought I’d mention it in case it helps.

On the blender, I say keep it, you’ve obviously thought about it for a while, it’s a good price for what it is as far as I know, and it’s not like you are splurging like crazy every day unless you’re hiding it from your readers. 🙂

We want a Vitamix too. The 300. But in Canada it is priced at $629 and in the U.S. it is only $529 or something like that.

As we consider $629 a ripoff, we’re waiting for a sale, and have been waiting for 4 months. *sigh*
