Finally got a juicer to juice all the Carambola fruit that my two trees are full of.
I got the Breville BJE829XL Juice Fountain Duo Juicer. After weeks of research, I had been postponing the purchase because of the $400 cost. But, when I came upon a huge bag of organic carrots (at a good price), at my local big box supermarket, I couldn't take it anymore and had to get one.
I called several places near my location and the first 2-3 were to my surprise sold out. The 3rd-4th call, I was told by the store rep that they had two left at $400 each. Sure enough, when I got to the store, the price tag confirmed the price I was told over the phone.
When I got to the cash drawer to pay for the juicer, the gentleman in front of me had several store coupons and was gracious enough to let me have one of them. He made sure to tell me not to break the chain, in other words, he helped me and I should pass it along and help others. I told him that I try to make it a habit to do so all the time - the thought passed through my mind, 'is this God'? (I digress). To make a long story short, I ended up paying about half the amount on the price tag, needless to say I was very glad about that; the store most probably also had a special price discount going because of the holiday season.
I plan to juice some Carambolas this week, and boy this thing sure can juice carrots.
