Went to the store today to get some low carb Slimfast shakes...thought
I would give them a try.

The regular Slimfast are  6 cans for 4.99...

The low carb Slimfast are 4 cans for 6.49.

Boy...talk about taking advantage of the low carb trend..!!

I left without buying...just because!

Good.  You don't need that crap anyway. Eat real food.

How many carbs are in the low-carb SlimFast?

H-E-B now sells an Atkins-alike choc and strawberry shake for 4/4.99 (but
they often have a $1 off coupon). I don't think the strawberry is too bad
(5g but 2g net) and wife really likes the choc (1g net).

yep, looks like we're the "fashion" so to speak. i went by my store today.
there's a tiny bag of some cheese-type snack, and the cost was like 2.59 or
something like that. now if it were a bag of potato chips, it would have been
at the most, .99. hope the companies decide one day that they might have a good
thing going and not to gouge people who'd like to try their products.

Two net carbs...same at Akins...

The Atkins shakes were on sale...a 4 pack for 5.99..that is the
cheapest I have seem them..so picked up 3 of them.

Don't know if it is my imagination or what...but the shakes seem to
make me feel good...maybe it's the vitamin jolt?

I am not sure...I didn't bother to read the label after seeing the
price.

I am going to stick with the Atkins shakes, I really like them..
that is what I have for breakfast during the week.

I try to support the new low carb products they are coming out
with..it makes low carbing a little easier..
like buying the bb sauce....rather than having to make it.

What I am afraid of is that more and more people are going to pass on
buying these products because the prices are so inflated, and they
will drop making them thinking we are not interested enough.

They need to bring the prices down to a reasonable price, and stop
gouging us.

I can't get them here, but I like them pretty well. And the net carbs are
true net carbs - no sugar alcohols or strange things like that that are in
the Atkins bars.
