Costco includes 4 pints and lids, Kohls includes 2 pints and lids. This might account for the box size difference.

You can't start talking about "have to get Costo membership for $60" in Costco deals. Costco/Sam's Clube/BJ's deals are for people who have memberships or who are interested in getting memberships at those clubs. I have both Costco and Sam's Club memberships. We go to Costco a lot more frequently than Sam's Club because it's closer to our house and gas is cheaper at Costco. Service is better at Costco and employees are generally more helpful and more pleasant at my Costco than Sam's Club. My Sam's Club does not have gas station. Savings from gas at Costco easily justifies $60 memberships fee for my family with multiple cars. Prices of meat are cheaper at Costco than supermarkets by my house. I haven't noticed products frequently out of stock at my Costco. Except the time when everywhere was out of stock for toilet paper and paper towels during pandemic, it seems my Costco is well stocked.

I have been looking for Ninja Creami deals for a while. Costco deal has 4 storage containers while Kohl's deal had 3 storage containers. Both models have 7 modes.

Costco deal is better because:

- it comes with 2 extra containers ($20 value)
- you don't need to deal with Kohl's Cash
- you get easy return to Costco without time limit

Kohl's deal was better because:

- you could use rebate site for some cashback
- you could use gift cards that you bought from discount gift card site like Raise
- shipping was free at the time
- there are different colors to choose

I personally think Costco is the way to go since Kohl's deal has expired and no need to worry about Kohl's Cash if you don't shop at Kohl's often.

It's just not you. We all feel that way sometimes when things we bought were found cheaper later. You win sometimes. You lose sometimes. Meanwhile, you can enjoy delicious ice cream.

Looking at the math I paid $137.99 for my Creami at Kohl's. That gave me $20 in Kohl's cash which I used to buy 2x2 pints (4 pints total) for an additional $13.98.

So I spent a total of 151.97 for 7 pints and the machine from Kohl's.

Costco deal is $140 (with shipping included).

So in total I spent an additional $12 for 3 extra pints when all said and done.

I don't feel as stupid anymore after looking at my order details.

Kohl's regular price is $259.99, so even with 40% coupon, it comes to $156.
When I bought mine, it was $229.99. So 40% off gave me $92 off

Maybe, but if you factor in the $60 membership fee (for this deal) it's not good at all. And Costco prices in my area for food are higher. I just compared in January when there seemed to be alot of Costco deals popping up on this forum. I checked prices trying to justify getting a membership and I wasn't able to. I still stick with my "free" (thanks to SD) for now Sam's Club membership even though they are frequently out of products now.

See, it wasn't bad at all! You did well. Now, my question is, do you have space in your freezer to store 7 pint containers ? As family of 5, I don't know if we do.

There is a 5 and 7 mode model in black/silver. Walmart sells the 5 mode, Kohl's and Costco the 7 mode model(s).

I used the listed price to calculate 40% off because nobody can predict if/when a product goes on sale and becomes cheaper at Kohl's. Next time they have 40% coupon out, Ninja Creami may or may not be on sale.

They change their list pricing so often, I have no idea what is and isn't the normal price anymore at Kohl's.

Pretty much similar / same experience here. And if you use the Citi Costco credit card, you get 4% back on gas and 2% on top of all purchases in the warehouse (that's in addition to anything you get otherwise cheaper).
We, too, have both Sam's and Costco and Sam's often is out of stock on essential items, esp. those that are on sale. It's like a poor quality version of what Sam Walton tried to create. Both Walmart and Sam's have seriously gone down the tube, but there are items we like that are only at Sam's.

We live an hour from both, but work 30 min or less from either. Costco gas is definitely the way to go (better, less ethanol also means you get more mpg out of your tank).

The Koh's one only includes 2 pints and lids. It looks like Costco has 4. The extra 2 pints will save you about $20 and they are handy if you like to make multiple batches at once. You can get about the same price at Kohl's if you get a 40% off coupon but you have to buy extra pints. Overall it's a good machine and we use it fairly often. Homemade strawberry is the best and you can't really buy anything like it at the store tastewise. My daughter just made frozen yoghurt yesterday to mimic Sam's Club 4 berry sundae because the food court is closed so frequenlty, It worked well. It is large though so you need somewhere to store it that will be handy to get to. It's loud too.

The noise level is one of the off-putting things about it. Esp. since other Ninja items are usually more quiet (comparing the 14-in-1 Foodi multicoooker to an IP pressure cooker).

However, we always have 6 - 8 pints in the freezer for quick access to a tasty dessert. Living in the Deep South, it's warm more often than cold, so we use it a lot. And with one person in the household who needs a lot of extra calories to keep weight on, this is great as you can use straight up cream as liquid with fruits.

I meant "listed peice" as their regular price, not sale price. Kohl's usually has more expensive price as "regular price" so that they can issue coupons to make it look like good deal.

I have lots of Ninja products (smoothie, blender, coffee, air dryer) and they are great!

How is the ice cream? I'm seriously considering it.

I think there is only one. The only different models I see are just different colors.
There is another model that has only 5 programs. The extras are smoothie bowl and gelato.

Costco is the way to go for extra pints + returns.
