Hi Kitty,

Glad you posted this morning. That reminded me to tell you that I saw the

Brown Sugar/Splenda in Walmart the other day. 16 oz package was less than

$4.00. I know you don't need it now, but keep this in mind.

I checked the carbs on the Splenda brown sugar and I'm not sure it would be

worth It.

Reg brown sugar 1 tsp = 4 carbs/4 sugars,

Splenda brown sugar 1/2 tsp = 2 carbs/2 sugars.

Assuming that 1/2 tsp = 1 tsp in sugar taste is it worth it to spend that

much extra to save 2 carbs in the morning? I can save those same 2 carbs by

just not eating my crusts.

Eunice, thanks. I really enjoy it on oatmeal.

YES, it is worth it to me. Since I am a 58 yr old young widow who took care of

my husband with cancer for 3 days less than 3 yrs, I will now do as I please. I

will pay $6.00 a pound for Brown Sugar Splenda and enjoy every taste of it on my

oatmeal. I have earned the right to have a little bit of enjoyment in my life

without being made to feel guilty because I choose to splurge on myself with a

$6.00 bag that will last me probably a year.

Maybe some women get their manicures or pedicures, or their hair cut and

colored in a salon. I don't. I do my own, even trim my own hair. So I guess I

can afford this treat for me.

Thank you to all the people on this list who are not spending their days looking

at ways to make others feel bad for making a comment.

I will never post again.

Thank you for pointing out the information to everyone that shows the

comparisons.

I didn't mean monitarily wise. Or not ONLY monetarily wise. As you can see

from my post I did not mention the cost anywhere but the savings only in

carbs. **oops I did say is it worth it to spend that much extra to save 2

carbs in the morning?**

I am very new to T2 and truly want to know if a 2 gram difference is worth

it.

I have not been so restrcitive in my diet and need to know if I should be

more restrictive. My Dr said between 45- 60 grams of carbs per meal and to

shoot for 50. I didn't see that as a warning that I had to watch every

single carb so that I would be concerned over a 2 carb difference between

real and splenda.

I was asking if I should be concerned.

Uh, why the rankor? You seem to be attacking me for no more than asking a

simple question?

Or more like a simple 'newbie' question.

I have a high bed and we use bachelor chests instead of nite stands, they are

the right height. Just for the info.. Tres

Re: Type I or 2 - Brown Sugar Splenda/Kitty

We have a new bed, and it's a high one with a queen size pillowtop

mattress - about as soft as a conventional bed can be. No, I didn't do

much comparison shopping because it seemed just right. Somehow my dawn

effect is even worse some days with the new bed, and I also have the

job of finding a night stand at least 28 " tall. Someone holler if you

see one at a good price, please.

Kitty,

Please don't stop posting to the group. I also splurge on things that are

important to me. I have spent $1400 on a treadmill that can support my large

frame without breaking down and/or making the entire house shake! I also buy

concentrated liquid Splenda for $39 a bottle, which is far more than you are

spending. I am not rich by a long shot. I am a Stay-at-home mom with 4

children. I figure my expenditures now will pay off in medical savings in the

future. Also, I have not been to ANY salon in YEARS. I cut my own hair.

You have a right to spend your money how you see fit. I am sure they feel bad

for offending you with their comments. They were probably only trying to help.

Kitty, Your posts are important to us.. I am sure no offence was meant.. April

is right we all spend on things that we have that are important to us.. remember

what is important to one isn't to another. I wish I could cut my own hair but I

wait till my grand daughter who is a hair stylist comes in town and she does it

free (lucky me). I haven't had a manicure since I don't remember when. I drive

a 10 year old car because it is still good and would take it anywhere and it

doesn't bother me.. never worry about what other people think or do, it is a

waste of time. It is your money and we only live once and can't take it with

us, so enjoy what every you want. Hugs, Tres

Might I add that my chests are 31 inches high and work perfectly. Also give you

more drawer space. I am a retired Interior Designer and we have done this for

years to get the needed height. Hugs, Tres
