I buy one hahaha and I buy yoplait which is never on sale in NY but it was in Ga..Gah!! I dont buy meat much anymore Ive switched to dry beans which are very inexpensive.....so I guess I save some loot on that department which allows me to splurge on Fage and Soymilk

greek yogurt its thicker than regular yogurt and is often used in place of sourcream I get Total 0% 90 calories no fat

I don't like sour cream, so I use it as a sour cream replacement. I use the fat free and it's great. Totally worth it!

If you have a Trader Joes anywhere nearby, they have a great nonfat Greek yogurt that is lots cheaper!

That's awesome, I'm excited to look for this! I tried fat free sour cream the other day and EWWWW. It's to acidic w/out the creaminess! Looking forward to a yummy sounding alternative!

I love 2 use dry beans, but i find them to be a llittle grainy compared to the caned bean. The caned beans have so much sodom, but I eat them because i cant make the dried bean taste good?? you have any advice???

I rinse them and soak for about 2hrs but I use spices like curry ,cumin in them...they are grainy but if you eat the smaller ones like lentils they arent bad at all

Stonyfield makes an organic plain yogurt that is similar to Fage. It's thick and somewhat sour like greek yogurt. You can buy the really big container for about 3 dollars but not all stores carry it, so it can been hard to find. I like to mix my with a spoonful of honey....yum

thank you myastyme:flowerforyou:

I buy the large containers, more for your $$$. Just a little tip...you can buy a yogurt maker and make your own greek style yogurt if money is a factor. You can find them at amazon or kitchen stores, they are about a $30 investment.

My Mom crockpots them overnight. Her's are never grainy, but I haven't mastered them yet either.

Me neither--I thought it was an acronym. My first thought was that it meant:

Fitness And Gym Equipment

:laugh:

RiverRatChick

I think its like $6-$7 at Costco for a huge container of it. Pretty reasonable, I think....

Don't buy the name brand. There are other Greek Yogurt brands that are less expensive. Chobani is one, as is Trader Joe's. Buy it in the pint or quart containers and add your own fruit and low cal sweetener.

MacMadame

I can afford it because I'm eating about 1/3 what I used to. :laugh:

Do you rinse your canned beans? Its a good idea.

Ya gotta try it - its darn good! However, to make something similar, just strain your dannon trhough cheese cloth - over night might make it too solid, but experiment.
