Cheapest places to buy ScandiShakes

I know several members going into recovery...and actively in recovery...are maintaing weight with Scandi.  An excellent product to be sure, but it is spendy.  A case of 24 would last me about a week (three per day) and I used it for many months, so it really is $$$. I found Amazon to be expensive.  Family OTC has a better deal and you get free shipping if you order two cases:

Ebay has some good deals, too.  Free shipping is a plus.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/24-packet-ScandiShake-Vanilla-Instant-Shake-Mix-for-Weight-Gain-Case-Box-AEBA-/112011496245?hash=item1a1467cb35:g:x74AAOSwMHdXS8vA

Do some net sleuthing...I found Scandi to be invaluable but it also hit me hard in the pocket...good luck!

    Shakes and Taxes

    Just an FYI- We had our taxes professionally done the year I had cancer. They told us the cost of nutrition shakes is a deductible medical expense for cancer patients. Every penny helps!

    Wow, did not know that!

    Thanks, MrsBD...even with Oxford coverage, I still was 10K out of pocket for MSK treatment.  People think your insurance covers all costs after deductible is met. NOT!  You are right, all pennies help.
