Since I am doing liquids and mushies for the next 3 weeks (GAG), I decided to replace my worn out Magic Bullet, except that I found a better deal. JC Penney's has an off-brand that is on sale for $30.00 and includes 5 large containers, one small one, and all the lids, colored bands, etc.

It also has two blades - a chopping blade and a blending blade.

Works great and so much cheaper than the MB, which, in my case, cost $60 and lasted only a year.

Carlene, why liquids & mushies? Is this a self-prescribed "back to basics" campaign, or are you having problems with your band?

I have a dilated esophagus, unfortunately. But at least it's not a slip.

Thanks for the info, and I'm sorry to hear about your dilation.

I think a trip to JCP on the morning is in order. I have decided to go ahead and add a small blender to the regular sized one I just bought, that way I have one I can take to work if I want to.
