Carol: Costco list (was Re: Buying a Champion or Omega juicer in Canada)

[Guest guest]

Wow! those are some fantastic recipes. Of course, my research leads

me in new directions and there's another juicer, Green Star, that is

supposed to be much sturdier, but I'll see where my budget takes me.

Thanks again Carol.

BTW, a while back you posted a list of SCD-legal foods that you buy

at Costco. We recently joined as they opened up a new store

downtown, just up the street. I've searched the archives in vain.

Could you re-post it? Thanks.
