On the main chatboard I posted this reply and thought I would ask and post here some things I am doing or going to do to save $.

If you have any other ideas on how to save $ with the high costs just continuing to skyrocket could you please post here or email me your suggestions?

I figure we are all in this boat together. Might as well work smarter not harder. Here is my response to Mama Maria......... ---------------------------------------------------

Betty I'm new to juicing and love the taste of fresh vegetable and fruit juice, but it breaks my heart to throw away the pulp of the food. That's were all the fiber is, isn't it?
