    What is the BEST "value" you ever paid for?

    NOTABLE! HOT! CHAT EXECUTION 
    I got my Vitamix using points from a rewards program. It takes smoothies to a whole new level, I can put kale and spinach and puree it so it's smooth and has zero grit -- every bit as good as Tropical Smoothie Cafe. It has its own cookbook as you can make nutmilks, soups, etc. It also is...
