No ideas but congrats. I really want one but just haven't seemed to get around to buying one yet.

I can't believe I bought one as a splurge like that is quite unlike me. QVC deal of day.

) full price for one.... How much was it? And which model?

I knew there was a reason I should hang out here on the weekends.....

The Sam's price I'm thinking is for the older model, don't know if it matters. But Linens and Things on sale for 299. plus add the 20% off coupon.

OceanCityGirl · Post by **OceanCityGirl** » May 29, 2008 11:20 am

Linens and things had the older model for less and a sign up for another model that I'm guessing is coming out soon.

I found a couple
Strawberry Fudge Mudslide Recipe

Ingredients:

Directions:
Remove fudge pop from the wooden stick and place in blender. Place all other ingredients, including ice, in the blender with 1 oz. of water. Blend on the highest speed until well blended (add a bit more water if you prefer your drink less thick). Pour, and if desired, top with Fat Free Reddi-wip!
