hi leasmom, I agree with you- Atkins food is priced way TO HIGH-at least for my pocketbook! However our walmart has Atkins bars for 96 cents and 1.78 and low carb chips and our local GNC and VItamin World shops carry Atkins cheaper than the prices you quoted and that still looked HIGH to me, so what can you do?
Read the recipes on this web site and many others like it-there are lots of very good recipes-if you want something special-ask and someone here will help you-my son and I made a deep dish pizza tonite for the first time and it really tasted good-like real pizza-I found the recipe here and am amazed!

take time to read the recipes ,
