Most of my friends do. I certainly love the idea of having one, and I love all the available colors! But the Kitchenaid Mixer has been somewhat of a symbol for me — a symbol of margin. I don’t need every good thing.
There is no “real” reason why I should not have one in my kitchen. I cook and bake a lot, and it certainly would be useful. I probably would bake a lot more bread if I had that dough hook to knead the dough. But I don’t truly need this $300 appliance; and, as Benjamin Franklin said, “A penny saved is a penny earned.” Ironically, the pennies saved by not buying a Kitchenaid Mixer have been spent (over and over again!) on other things.
But by the way, if I ever caved in and bought one, I’d like a lavender colored mixer.
