Ninja Foodi

SharkE — Fri, 08 Mar 2019 15:05:49 GMT

Ok, so I went to Bed & Bath Thurs. Yep, they had the Foodi. Yep, it's

a biggie. All they had was black, of course. Mgr. came over and started a conversation he mentioned they had sold out of them 3 times now.

I could had bought it on the spot, but, first of all my coupon was expired ! Those things are only good for a few wks. I still liked to see if

Q comes out with colors. Wouldn't hurt my feelings if they come out with a 4 qt for smaller families.

Kohl's had them too, as well as Walmart. Walmart's was 199.99.

What galls me is I want to be able to take the lid off and gauge how deep the pot is. They have those ****** nailed down to where you can't.

I know there's people out there who will steal a rat, but, how are you suppose to gauge if you want to spend 200 plus tax unless you really can see what your getting ? I just have to guess by looking at the videos online. I'll probably get one in the bye and bye. Sure would be nice to see it up close and personal, though.

@SharkE Have you looked at the pictures and video on Amazon? You can see how deep the pot is, but of course for the money it would be nice to see it for yourself.

I think I read once that B&B will accept expired coupons. Am I wrong about that?

Yeah, and I'm still watching the HSN video that a gal in here posted.

I wish somebody had posted that they were gonna be on HSN

Why when I see something that I think will be of interest to others I post it

Now, I'm on HSN's 'alert notification' if they return.

I didn't particularily like this guy when I told him I wanted a color he pulled out his fancy gadget and said "nobody has colors and do you want to wait till June to cook"? Didn't care for his attitude of course he was young. I told him that QVC would probably have colors if I waited long enough and that

boiled his cabbage. I gather B&B and Q aren't real buddy buddy. He just then turned and walked and said "let me know if I can be of help". The other manager in there would had waived the coupon and took off the 20% to keep a customer.

I'd really like a color anyway. I can't get an answer from Q if they will come in colors or not, but, I've jumped the gun before and bought a air fryer in black because I didn't want to wait and regretted it when here comes Q with gloss cinnamon. wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

@SharkE

BBB coupons never expire, regardless of the date on them. For years I didn't know that either until I pulled one out one day for a purchase and realized that it was expired.

The cashier said, "No problem, our coupons never really expire", so I have a gazillion now and use them all the time!

Re: Ninja Foodi

SharkE — Fri, 08 Mar 2019 15:33:07 GMT

maybe the 10% off, but, down here in Amarillo, Tx they won't honor the expired ones. I get them all the time and I run and put them in the car so as to have them at the handy.

My sister sends me hers, too.

KingstonsMom — Fri, 08 Mar 2019 15:38:56 GMT

Mine are either 20% off or $5 off of $15 purchase, here in GA they always accept them and I've used them with BBB online ordering too.

My BB&B coupons are always accepted....even years old. However, sometimes there are restrictions. I wouldn't be surprised of th Foodi was one that would not qualify for the discount. (I could be wrong about that.)

@SharkEand all: I keep my B BB coupons for years! I don't really buy all that often, but when I do, I assume the price is really 20% less than its shelf price. I can't remember when I last bought anything BBB without a coupon whether it cost $2.99 or $299!

I keep mine in the driver's door of my car and if I walk in with more coupons than items I end up buying, I've often handed my extras to someone shopping without a coupon. Seems BBB also doesn't care whose name is on those money-savedrs.

Re: Ninja Foodi

SharkE — Fri, 08 Mar 2019 15:47:39 GMT

If I was really gonna buy one Thurs I'd went with Kohl's they had it marked up to 223, BUT, they had a 20% off coupon with any form of payment , PLUS, 10 bucks off on anything over 49.00.

Course, all they had was black. I owe hubby 900, so, I want to pay him off first LOL anyway He's always floating my 'gotta haves and gotta have it nows", so, he floats my 'loans' for non essential items LOL

I bought a new refrigerator and charged it why I'm broke hahhaha

Paid that off, then , I wanted a new fence to pull in the property line that he paid for even though he didn't care about it but to shut me up he paid for it now I'm paying him back for that wild hair. Now, I want a Ninja hahhahaha Never ends.

@SharkEVery unusual - and I didn't think any BBB's were independently owned and would have different rules than in other states.

Have you ever tried using a BBB coupon in a different Texas store? Maybe there's some state law in control???

@Krimpette

You may be right about BBB not accepting the coupon on the Foodi, I remember when the $300 Dyson hair dryer first came out (I didn't buy one), they had a sign saying the coupons couldn't be used on that.

That's the only item I remember seeing that on though.

could be to up to the snotty cashiers too ! God, I can't stand snotty

people. This MGR. I talked to suggested I take out a Members Rewards thing for like 30 bucks to save the 20% off. Yeah, like I'm gonna do that when I can just wait for my next coupon in the mail. LOL

SouthernBee — Fri, 08 Mar 2019 16:31:50 GMT

@SharkE : Truly depends on who or whom is working in BBB. One girl in our store will not accept the expired coupons even if we tell her 99 3/4 of the othern workers do. One lady that helps me in the store and works the register gives me discounts and says to keeps coupons for future use. I don’t get to shop there often but when I go- I have a long list, wanted to go this week but maybe next week. Southern Bee

We've come across those types all our lives and they p*** us off Royal.

I'd like to reach across and smack them upside the head. LOL

They're everywhere and I mean EVERYWHERE.

@SharkE : Yep really makes me mad because I rely on friends to take me shopping and that is like every month or so. I do a lot of shopping on line but love to get out and shop. Southern Bee

Yikes I'd be up the **** creek if I had to depend on anybody , but, my self. I get out every Thurs and hit the stores. Don't want him with me. We go out together every Mon. to eat out and run errands. Then, he goes out on his other day off Wed and does his chores. I go by myself on Thurs and get groceries and tour the town in peace.

We'd kill each other if we were together for to long. ROFL Just to different and he's oddball.

@SharkE

LOL at this post!

DH and I are polar opposites too (but it works for us!) and we never go shopping together.

DD and I go out once a week for shopping/lunch and hit TJ, Marshalls, BBB, Home Goods, etc.

It's what works for us, LOL!

sooooo..... i know this post has taken a turn but, back to the ninja foodi. i had not heard of this, and i was just saying to dh the other day, wish we had a pressure cooker that could crisp. hahaha. so i looked up a review. evidently you cannot take off the crisping lid when pressure cooking, as it is hinged.

so if counter space is a premium, that could be a drawback. also the pressure releases from the back, so they do not recommend having it near a wall. ok. only use on a free standing island?? they also said it is quite heavy. i took a look at all the components, and its just gonna be a no for me.

nice concept. i'll stay tuned for some improvements in design.

My thread.

soooooooo. I'm gonna check it out more. Wish it was a tad smaller from what I can see of it in person LOL

One Le Crueset piece can run 300 and more, so, I don't think the price is really that high. as long as the pot comes out for cleaning I don't care that the lid doesn't remove. The other lid, goes on, comes off.

To each his own
