    There are other makers of Greek Yogurt Fage, Okios, and I just googled greek yogurt in canada and found Liberte and the blog said it was sold at Safeway..if that helps..
    You could always make your own, get a cheesecloth and strain homemade yogurt. I tried it but I'm too lazy to keep that up.

    Greek Yogurt has many different brand names. It is definitely not in every store. Like, Safeway doesn't carry it, but QFC does. Go to one of the higher end or natural-type grocery stores. Even the stores that do carry it don't have a huge display, a thousand containers of "other" yogurts and then twenty Greek Yogurts. It's a bit more expensive, too. It doesn't have all the extra sugar that other yogurt has. Seriously - to die for...:love:

    LOVE LOVE LOVE the Fage.... I buy mine at Costco and put it over frozen berries from (you guessed it) Costco... Makes a very healthy mid-morning snack at work.

    My hubby still laughs at the name though:tongue: lol
    I will have to check it out next time I go there. I've never heard of it before. What's the difference between this and other kinds of yogurt? I usually get Dannon's All Natural Plain Non-Fat...(long name):tongue:

    I love Fage!!!!!!!! It is the creamiest, yummiest stuff on earth!! :heart: I only wish it weren't so darned expensive. I have tried Oikos and Chobani (they are a little cheaper) but they just aren't quite the same.

    I can't justify the expense so I only buy it once in a while. Instead, I buy the large $2 tub (32oz) of Meijer Nonfat plain (or Dannon, but I like the Meijer brand better) and strain it with coffee filters to make it thicker and creamier (could use a cheesecloth but I don't have one!). It's not *quite* as good, but the price is better. :wink:

    No it is thicker, creamier and not watery like regular yogurt. You'll never go back, promise. :bigsmile:

    I like the one with honey. It's 200 or 250 calories but it fills me up and I love it for breakfast.

    :sad: :sad: NUTELLA :sad: :sad:

    Dear Nutella:

    I love you dearly, but I cannot let you in my house. You call to me all day and night. You wake me up from a deep sleep. You whisper sweet nothings in my ear and tell me evil things like "You can just have a little bit".. "Measure out a tablespoon and then stop".. and when I give in, you won't let go of your GRIP and then I can't STOP and before I know it you're GONE and the only MEMORY is the FAT ON MY THIGHS... :sad: :sad: :cry: :sad:

    :noway:

    Signed,
