I paid $16.99!!! For the big 17 piece set or whatever. At the As Seen on TV Store, where they sell all those things from infomercials. They have these like clearance markdowns on spotlight items, and I happened to walk in on the blender day. So I got one and I LOVE IT! I have a fruit and yogurt smoothie every morning, which really, really helps my tummy.

I DID see it for $35 at the Meijer by my folks' house once. If you have Meijer, you could look out for it

And it was delicious!
