Okay, this is for all you bandsters and future bandsters that's been searching high and low for the Magic Bullet. I've seen a few posts where people have found some at various locations for around $50. I just saw an infomercial on this gadget and this is what they're offering....

High-Torque Power Base

The Power Base is the heart of the Magic Bullet. Simply plug in the Magic Bullet, place one of the Bullet Cups or Party Mugs onto the High-Torque Power Base and press. No buttons to press, no complicated manuals to read. Nothing could be easier.

Cross Blade and Flat Blade

The Magic Bullet comes with two blades: a Cross Blade for chopping, grating and blending foods such as onions, cheeses, meats and frozen drinks, and a Flat Blade for whipping cream and grinding hard foods like coffee Beans and spices. Both blades are are made of stainless steel, so they are dishwasher safe and never need sharpening.

Tall and Short Bullet Cups

The unique bullet shape of these cups is the secret to the effectiveness of the Magic Bullet. The Short Cup is ideal for making dips and party foods like homemade fat-free fruit juice and the Magic Bullet becomes a personal smoothie machine, pulverizing the ice and giving you a perfect, nutritious smoothie or Meal Replacement fat loss drink in 8 seconds. Plus, each container is cheese, the other is for finely ground spices such as cinnamon or nutmeg, so you can grate cheese or spices and serve it right to the table.

Stay-Fresh Re-sealable Lids

No plastic wrap or storage containers are needed to keep your leftovers fresh. Your Magic Bullet comes with two Stay-Fresh, Re-sealable Lids that fit right on to the Short and Tall Cups, and Party Mugs to keep your leftovers fresh for days.

From Breakfast recipes for pancakes, omelets and piping hot muffins to 6-second lunch recipes like salad and all the way to gourmet dinners such as homemade spaghetti meat sauce. There are even recipes for scrumptious Desserts such as creamy cheesecake and frozen fruit sorbet...as well as delicious party dips and fantastic frozen drinks! And best of all, they can all be prepared in 10 seconds or less!

I just thought that some of you might be interested in, esp. if you knew of others who wanted one and could go in halves with you. I don't know what the package from the stores come with, but I thought this sounded like a decent offer. I ordered one for me and got the other for my mom, both of us are bandsters....oh yeah, the website for this is..... www.buythebullet.com/2for1

I know many are fond of the Magic Bullet, but I am just not impressed with it's power (or lack of) compared to other blenders out there. Plus it's pretty expensive at $50, the cheapest I've seen it was at Kohl's at Xmas and that was a four hour day after Thanksgiving sale price for $36.

The Magic Bullet has *only* 225W of power.

There is a personal sized blender at Walmart that you can get online that is 350W and is only $18ish, here's the link:

I can't find it in the stores, but I did find it online at Walmart and at Brylanehome.com, it's more expensive at brylane, but if you are negative on shopping at Wallyworld (I understand some folks are), here's the brylane link:

I just ended up buying a new blender (I needed one anyway) from Walmart, it's an Oster that came with a food processer attachment and a free personal size mix mug (not all the boxes had that, but they do sell those for about $13 or so) and it was $40. It has 450 watts. I do really like it. This is it:

Here's the link to the personal mixer cup:

But did you know that if you have a blender that has the screw-off base with the removable blades (screw the base off the jar and take the blade assembly and a gasket ring out for cleaning) that that ring actually fits on canning jars? Talk about nice and small, you could use half pint or pint size jars and not have to worry about buying another blender/mixer at all. I have a bunch of those old glass canning jars with the handle on them they used to sell in the dollar stores, those work great.
