Guest guest Posted January 12, 2000 Report Share Posted January 12, 2000 Hi -- I've bookmarked both of these. But doubt I'll be ordering because of the prices.(!) By the time you add S & H to the cost of the item, I'll stay home and search grocer's shelves. One item I noticed 'specially - Cottee's gelatin mix - $1.99 -- size not specified. (Low carb site.) I've just bought a bunch of Jello and Royal gelatins on sale. Royal was $.40 each for the 4-serving size. The Orangeade I found (Synergy) at $4.99 is also way over my budget.

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2000 Report Share Posted January 13, 2000 Yes, it's all pretty expensive, but at least the products are becoming available. I would imagine that in a couple of years, when Splenda is common on the shelves, the prices will come down. Re: " sugarfree " Hi -- I've bookmarked both of these.
