The juicer has landed.

I guess it was my lucky day.  After finding the best online price for the Omega 330vrtHD juicer I placed an order for $30 less and free shipping.  We'll get to that in a moment.  I have to rant first....hang on

When I first ordered online the business GUARANTEED next day delivery.  3 days later they call saying they were out of stock (like everyone else) and tried to get me to switch juicers.   Hmmmmm, I seem to recall 'bait and switch' is illegal.    The owner, Linda, tried to say shipping from China was 'out of her control'.   That statement is as irrelevant as it is true.   Showing stock on hand when it isnt IS under her control, accepting orders with out showing the item as backordered IS under her control, calling the customer and trying to talk them into a different item IS under her control.
The heck with it, I'm going to post a link to her business site.  If you do buy from her - caveat emptor. 

Ok.  Back to the good news.  A 20% off coupon arrived in the mail from Bed Bath and Beyond.  I had one for online purchases too.  I went online and they had the juicer I wanted but they added TAX AND SHIPPING.

So, time to head to store.   Talked to fellow on floor and he said they dont carry the one I wanted in the store due to limited space.   After a bit of negotiation he became 'kind' or just wanted to get rid of me.  Either way he accepted the 20% coupon AND waived shipping.  I saved about $60.


The best news!  I got the juicer in 3 days.   Fantastic turnaround time.


The juicer has been cranking out fruit and vegetable juices 2-3 times a day since we got it.


Large amounts of organic veggies is budget busting expensive.   So, in the short run I am relying heavily on carrots in each batch and then adding.


This morning we had carrot & orange juice with a bit of ginger root.   We added a bit of cinnamon to the glass and yum!  


Juice, coffee, and steel cut organics oats (with a TBS of crunchy peanut butter mixed in).


I'm ready to go!




Peace out,
