Linda did something today she hardly ever does. Those people who are closest to her know that she never buys anything for the house unless she absolutely, positively needs it. For instance, her kitchen appliances were all almost 30 years old before she replaced them. The oven and 3 burners did not work, but she still held off on a new one until the last burner stopped working. The only way the dishwasher would kind of work is if she scrubbed every single plate before she put it in to be washed. The refrigerator, well... let's just say it worked about as good as a cracked, leaky ice chest at a picnic. Today she bought TWO new things! It's been months and months since she had a blender. The motor burned out on the one she had for 15 years. Linda is now the proud owner of a Ninja Blender! Besides having a cool name, it got very good reviews online. Then, as she was leaving Target, she saw a food processor on clearance. It was $59.99 and the clearance price was $14.99! Woo-Hoo. She used to make us homemade dog food (in the blender that broke) because it's so much cheaper than canned food. An all natural, good for you canned dog food cost about $2.50. She can cook up some cheap chicken, brown rice and a giant bag of frozen veggies...pop it all in the food processor and Voila! Homemade, delicious dog food for a fraction of the cost. I know what she'll be doing this weekend!!
