This is very exciting I found out about this program at my Mommy and Me class. One ofthe moms was showing us her receipts and she was saving between 70% - 80% on all her grocery bills. I joined the program which is at
[settingurownprice.com] Last night we went food shopping and we picked up $197.79 worth of food and merchandise and only had to pay $16.83! I love this program!

Uh, this isn't relevant to most raw foodists, as it is offers for coupons for processed/packaged foods that aren't generally fresh, as we would describe. Just in case you aren't a spammer and do mean to be helpful.

er, I think it may be a spammer, as its her first and only post in the forum...

my spidy sense is tingling, lol...

Yeah, a neighbor/friend tried to get me to buy into those grocery coupon books years ago...very surprised when she learned that I don't eat packaged foods.

"How weird" was the reply...funny, she rarely talks to me at all now...

Reminds me of a friend who discovered a few years ago that I was now eating a raw food diet. Her response: "What an odd diet!" I honestly have never met anyone in my life who takes more OTC and prescription medicine than this friend. At her wedding she opened her purse at one point, and it was filled to bursting with bottles of pills and asthma inhalers.

I hear you loud & clear - they should require a permit to carry around your own personal pharmacy. Oh yeah, I guess they do - it's called a "prescription"...

jk,

Have you seen that new Advil commercial? The one with all the unhappy, middle aged, middle class people standing in the pain meds aisle at some anonymous pharmacy, scrutinizing the bottles wincingly and wondering which pain med to buy? The premise is like the old Total cereal commercial, you know, it takes this many bowls of Shredded Wheat to equal the nutrition in this one bowl of Total! The soothing voiceover tells us we'd have to take this many whatever to equal the pain relief of one Advil, yadda yadda. It makes my blood run cold, that commercial. There is no suggestion that chronic pain is abnormal and that you should maybe go see your doctor and get the cause diagnosed and taken care of.

We here dwell in an alternate universe, my friend . . .

Actually, I missed that one...but most of the pharma commercials are so goofy that I tune them out...

Why is everyone walking around, playing golf & smiling in those commercials? lol

juicerkatz,

"Why is everyone walking around, playing golf & smiling in those commercials?"


Because that is what one does when one has been delivered from the ravening maw of Chronic Back Pain by the loving kid-gloved hand of Pfizer, dontchaknow : )
