The shakes at our hospital here are 33.00 for a box of 18 I think....or like 1.50 per shake...well you have 5 a day and if you "cheat" and have any bars they are 1.25...so you spend about 10.00 a day tops...unless you have more....which they encourage you to do...have another shake instead of oreos

the price compare to slim fast.....it is not for everyone, but for us it worked well...I lost 35 lbs but have gained 5 back cuz of those cookies....but you also have to exercise and change your eating habits...on the link if you surf around you can figure how many calories a day to "maintain" your current weight..anything less than that and you start pulling from your body...the lower you go the more you lose....
