Blenders

We bought a small blender at Canadian Tire, because it was the only one with an extra smaller jar for smoothies and such.  We should have bought a better one, somewhere else.  It generally works, but the instructions tell you not to try to crush ice cubes, so I try to find the little pieces of ice out of the bag.  There's no question that I'm spending more on fresh food,  since I'm buying smaller amounts more often, but I'm not buying junk, so I figure it evens out in the long run.  David just sees the total at the bottom of the cash register tape.  I really think that when we sort it out at the end of the month, we'll have spent less in total.  But then, that's not counting related purchases like small blenders.
