Guest guest Posted February 13, 2006 Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 your local health food store can order anything you want and you don't get dinged for $8-10 in shipping charges. even in a cultural wateland like yuma, arizona, i can get chia seed for $12 per pound with no shipping from the local herb and health food shop.

Usually at night I have this fuzzy, dizzy sort of feeling and eating food is the only think that help make it go away. Instead, I ate a few spoonfuls of the chia gel and went to bed. Even though I could not sleep and had to get up and do Chi-gung and meditation, I forgot about eating food. I'll have more to day and see the effects. This may prove to be the sugar use stabilizer I have been looking for. Thanks for the price info. I've bookmarked the web sites.

Guest guest Posted February 13, 2006 Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 Shipping costs are nothing compared to gas prices these days. I have to drive 40 miles one way to get to a good health food store.

Guest guest Posted February 13, 2006 Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 still, i'd bet it doesn't cost anything near the $7-$10 that shipping does. plus it's usually there Now, instead of having to wait for days on end. i like to spend my money in my community when i can.

Guest guest Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 You didn't do the math. 80 miles at twenty miles to the gallon equals 4 gallons of gas, times $2.30/gallon is $9.20. Not to mention about 2 1/2 hours out of the day most of which is travel time. This costs more than shipping and that was my point. That said, if I have many places to go in the big city where the nice health food stores are, then I go. When I only need one item and if I only have to wait two weeks to get it, I don't mind paying the $7-$10 in shipping. If is a small price to pay. And I am patient. Marilyn, who does not have a " local " health food store. If I did it would be unwise NOT to support the local community.

Guest guest Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 Good point! And gas will only get higher. Right now that 55-bag of chia seeds still sounds like the best deal. WITH shipping it is still less than $5.00 per pound. As I said, you can share it with friends or give it as gifts. AND if stored in a cool place, it keeps 6+ years. http://www.chiaseedandoil.com/ If that is too much chia, you can still get it for $5.70/lb and although I don't remember the shipping for that, it was very low and doesn't go up much if you order several pounds. http://azurefarm.com/index.cfm?FuseAction=shp.productDetails & productCode=HS037 & q\ uantity=1 Not bad considering that along with chia and sprouts, you don't need much to eat besides fresh water and love! ;-) Happy Valentine's Day! --- Marilyn Kefirlady <marilynjarz@...> wrote: > You didn't do the math. 80 miles at twenty miles to the gallon equals > 4 > gallons of gas, times $2.30/gallon is $9.20.

Guest guest Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 <sigh> there just seems to be something intrinsically wrong with a nation or car that costs over nine smackers to go a lousey 80 miles. and these are the good old days. gas will never be cheaper.

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 The immortality lies in the energy within the sprouts that gets passed on to us when we chomp down. We shed their physical cellular structure (in the end) and keep the life force that grew the cells in the first place. How is that for tieing together esoteric thoughts and sprouts? Huh? So, may the force be with us, hail all cotyledons. Diane Jertoons@... wrote: > >In a message dated 02/15/2006 2:39:29 P.M.
