Thanks for the info, Jim! 2-3 cups is fine. I'd be interested in
just a small one all by itself and if that was impossible, I'd move up
to the twofer. Too bad about Target, that's where I was thinking
about looking for one.

I see the Ninja Express is $25 (with shipping included) if I order
online from Walmart. Not happy about supporting Walmart, so I'll look
a little further - but $25 was the "number" I had in mind when I
googled so they hit my sweet spot. Before I order online, I'll call a
couple of local place to see what they have and for how much.
