Debra and I have been married for almost 8 years. In that time we have had a lot of ups and downs, blender ups and downs that is. We have gone through 12ish blenders. It has been a recurring frustration. We get a blender, it lasts about six months or a year if we are lucky, and then we buy a new one in a hurry when the last one dies. Because we are in a hurry, we don't save anything so we just get the inexpensive one we can get quickly, usually at Wal-Mart.
I would estimate we have spent the better part of $400 on blenders since we have been married. Added to that the time and frustration and it hasn't been a good deal at all. Well, that is going to change. We made it a priority and we are going to get a BlendTech blender. A high quality blender with a 7 year warranty that will hopefully enable us to spend the next 8 years of our marriage without blender downs.
Now this relates to being intentional because up until now we were NOT intentional about our blender buying habits. We just did the quick "easy" thing and kept feeding our blender habit with inexpensive, but poor quality goods. We thought short term and weren't strategic. Now though we planned, we researched, we strategized. While this isn't going to revolutionize our lives, it will add another small piece to the functionality and smoothness of our lives. It is one more step.
