Joined: May 2010 Posts: 61 | I had not bought a case for a while, but was going to order one to keep some around. I had been buying them after treatment for $31/case at Amazon - now it's $51! Anyone know of a cheaper vendor?
Thanks!

Joined: Jun 2007 Posts: 5,260 | Thank you 2 for the prices. I quit using it because my Ins won't pay anymore and I can't afford some of the rates. $ 31 I can handle. Ensure helps but doesn't have to kick VHC does.

Click on the box and it takes you to Amazon. Its right next to the blue donation box. Im hoping that this time of year any member who can afford it will consider making a donation. Where would we be without OCF?
