Just in time for summer... Ice Cream Maker at 75% Off!

Amazon.com has a sale going on for the VillaWare Electric V5100 Classic Ice Cream & Gelato Maker, if you're looking for ways to make frozen treats to beat the heat.

The list price is $79.99 and Amazon has it for $19.99. And if you buy something else for at least another $5.01 to bring the order over $25, shipping is free. (Maybe you can tack on an order for the Organic Bare Fruit I posted earlier in July-- I just checked and the sale price is still good on Amazon).

I checked some other sites on the internet to compare Amazon with other stores. Most low prices are in the $48 range (usually plus shipping) so this is still better than half-off other retailers.

I read the reviews at Amazon and some people love it and some people are disappointed that the ice cream comes out very slushy. It seems that you have to pre-freeze a bowl that will hold the mix before you make the ice cream so it probably takes some planning ahead (or keeping a bowl in the freezer). If you're thinking about this, you may want to read the reviews yourself for helpful tips by people who are using it.

So if you'd like making frozen treats in the flavors and mixtures you want to create, why not mix in the savings too? Here's the link.
