    I got a coupon for this recently, I think it was $2 off, thought it would be a good thing for when DS doesn't feel like much breakfast, could mix in a fruit and some milk. I went to Sobeys a few days ago to pick it up, I was surprised at how expensive it was. It was nearly $9 for ten packets. Sure hope it's good, won't be buying again without one heck of a coupon!

    My son really likes them; the last time we got them London Drugs had them cheap, plus with a coupon it was worth buying.
    Their regular price is $8, but I think they were on for $6, then minus the $2 coupon.

    I'd never buy such products somewhere like a grocery store - they are bound to be pricier. I know, though, that availability depends upon where one lives.

    they are pretty much just junk food.

    you could probably spend 9 bucks on something much healthier and get more of it!

    we buy them quite often. i work very early morning shifts and my kids are always hungry so i make em one to get em through until they have breakfast at the sitters. They arent that bad, but i find the premade ones are super sweet. i prefer the powder packs

    my hubby drinks these daily on his drive to work, otherwise he wouldn't eat brekfast, then would grab fast food mid morning. I usually mix 1/2 chocolate, 1/2 vanilla and increase the milk. I was lucky enough to stack @ LD/save on for free. Sale price is 6.99, Wal-Mart sells them for 6.83 which makes them a reasonable price, better value then the pre mixed variety of boost/ensure imo

    It's so delicious; not too sweet either. I'm not sure about the nutritional value, but since it's by the Carnation Brand, they can't make the taste go wrong
