good advice Bernie.

Where do you get your Salsa cheap? I find it pretty expensive. The

cheapest I've found is " Safeway " brand which I can get for$4.99 on sale

(regular price is $5.99) for a large (70 oz or 4lb 6oz) container. When it

goes on sale I buy maybe 1/2 doz at a time. That may sound like a large

amount of salsa, but it goes fast. Also this brand is rather watery, and I

sometimes add guar. But if I add too much guar, my husband won't touch it.

I have to add just a tad (so that he can't taste it or notice the change in

texture).
