Here’s a question from Lynn:

I’m trying to feed 2.5 people on $25 per week in groceries, per person – that’s $62.50/week. The group contains a 16-yo girl, a 35 yo man (he’s the .5- he’s gone 50% of the time) and me, a 33-yo woman. I live in Sudbury, ON. We also have 2 other children (11 & 8) to feed about 6 days per month. Any thoughts/comments?

Do you know the best Canadian website to buy a Vitamix blender?

Sharon is preferably looking for an online site that offers free shipping.  Since she lives in Nova Scotia, she’s thinking it may not be easy to find one in a local store.   Do you have any suggestions for her?

Added:  Take a look at Amazon.ca!  They seem to have a nice selection of Vitamix blenders!
