Can't seem to locate them on the Costco site. Even under searches it does not come up.

I looked and couldn't find it either.

When I got mine from Costco.com a month ago, I entered "Margaritaville" in the search box, and up it came. After I received it, I thought it'd be nice to also have the storage bag. I emailed Costco to see if they could get it, and the the answer was "...Costco.com has a constantly changing inventory...the item I requested is not currently available...keep checking Costco.com..."

Tonight I notice that the FCM is not on the site. Maybe they ran out?

By the way, it works great! I recommend you get one!

A fundemental ingredient to the party mix. Added ammunition for the Jimmy Buffett cannon.

I purchased mine at the Orland Park store #647. They still had 15 to 20 as of yesterday. This is the Costco product number and description #142293 MGRITAVILLE 199.99. I just checked online and couldn't find it. Maybe it is just a store item???

zydecoldsmobile,

I'd be shocked if Costco or Sam's ever bring in the bag. They usually won't get that deep into an item accessory line.

Yep, I agree. I am resigned to keep it on the counter and use it everyday!

At last, finally someone is selling this for something more closely resembling what it's worth.

$299 was definitely overpriced.

Now if only I hadn't just bought a heavy-duty blender six months ago...

I would agree with you... except I was the happy reciever of the frozen concoction maker from one of my special BN phrends... and let me tell you... it is worth every penny in the way of construction, mechanically ability and overall quaity... the loower price is nice... but this is a highly skilled kitchen applience worth its weight!

Hey, I can't argue with a testimonial from someone who has one.

Not gonna get rid of my blender though.

I got a nice heavy-duty unit at Sears for about $160; it makes a fine frozen margarita.

I blended one of those JC Penny ones up in my FCM, and it tasted funny....

I am sure your blender is just fine....

And yes... we are paying for the shark fins and nautical mirrored graphics... but the little button that lets you set it for 1, 2 or 3 drinks and adds just the right amount of ice is FABULOUS!!

Although...for those of you who don't get inside the kitchen much... At the last phlocking...Mr Top was the King drinkmaker with this thing.... and that my phrends it worth every penny!! (as he doesnt even know where the dishwasher is!

)

Heh...for my last party, I posted instructions on how to mix margaritas on the cupboard door above the blender.

But people were enjoying the rum punch too much to start in on margaritas, I guess...

Funny you mention that... the FCM comes with this treasure map thing which are really directions... by the time I made it over to the bar @ the Sunny Jim Phlocking to fire the machine up... the only person that could read them was our very own MID.. in her with childlike state....
