LC fruit juices:

There is now an Ocean Spray Light made with Splenda. They have Cran-Raspberry, Cran-Grape, Cranberry, and White Cranberry. It still has 10g of carbs...although I don't remember checking if it had fiber for net carb information. Anyway, my husband bought the Cran-Grape this weekend to mix with vodka for a treat. I tried some, and it's delicious! It's definitely more of a treat while on maintenance, but it's really good.

I didn't even know they made the V8 splash in a Diet version. I'm so glad! Thanks for the info!

The chocolate carb countdown is wonderful! Also, I found this in Utah, at the Walmart Neighborhood Market, which is just a grocery store.

My whole family loves the Hood's Carb Countdown milk and chocolate milk. YUMMY! And better yet... it does not have soy in it... which I try to avoid.

Okay, now I am REALLY tempted to drive the 25 miles to my WalMart to see if they have it! If it's in Utah, it's likely here, since our distribution center is in SLC!!

I am sitting here so jealous (actually very frustrated) that we aren't able to get any of the items you mentioned around here!!!!!!
First of all, the nearest SuperWalmart is about 50 miles away, and secondly the reg. walmarts don't have any of them either. I am lucky to find the Atkins things at both my local grocer and Walmart. The price for most of that is out of site and I don't want to eat most of the stuff that is offered. I want the things like a real loaf of bread, a quart of milk, the s.f. juice, etc. Things that I would normally buy, just the l.c. form that I will use for the entire family.
I'll just keep a list of what you all have at your stores and keep looking and put a bug in our local stores to carry them!!!!!

Shari Kay, would it be possible for you to make a trip, say once every couple of weeks to the WalMart Super Center? I'm lucky ours is only 30 minutes away, but I live in an area where often people have to drive for an hour or two to get to any real shopping.

I really am hoping to see if our WalMarts have the LC milk tomorrow. The kids could really benefit from that (and so could I!).

I was amazed to find my local grocery store in the Seattle area now carries THREE different types of LeCarb milk. Chocolate, Regular, and 2%. I picked up the chocolate (5g net carbs) and regular (4g net carbs). I tried the chocolate this morning and WOW! Real chocolate milk.

I was a BIG milk fan before LCing and this is almost as big a deal to me as LC tortillas.

I also found it very cool that LeCarb has listed Trans Fat on the nutrional label. It's 0g so no biggie, but this is the first product I have seen with this listed. Good to see someone adding it before they are required to do so.

For anyone in the Seattle area, the store I got this from was Matthew's Thriftway in Bellevue.

Lila - we actually did drive there about 3 weeks ago. I wanted, at that time, to see if the prices for groceries were really cheaper that the stores around here - I had been told they were.
We are suppose to have one built about 5 miles from my home - it is still on the drawing board, however, and that could take quite some time before it becomes an actuality!!
I probably will get the milk there - but I'm not sure if I would drive down there just for that!!
I am going to ask for it at my local grocery store, and check with the health food store in my area.
Hopefully, we can get more l.c. foods by requesting them - if enough people get interested they will more than likely stock these items.
