Lana - us Americans are being suckered in Health Food Stores too. Have you tried the produce section of your grocery stores? That's where I find some soy cheese, the soy buttery spread, soy cream cheese and soy sour cream. They're not with the regular dairy...don't ask me why not. And there's also a section where the milks are that have soy cheeses too, along with soy yogurts. But, if you still can't find the products in the grocery stores, guess you'll have to give in. Don't they have more than one grocery store where you live? Sometimes I have to drive an hour and a half to find stuff, but then I stock up so I con't have to go as often. But then I live up with the "hill people", so I guess I shouldn't complain. At least when I go to town here on the hill, I can find a parking place with no trouble. I'd say it's a fair trade.
Getting back to the prices, yeh, Jessie James used to use a gun...but the healthh food stores don't need one, do they? The Soy Buttery Spread that Heidi told us about was around $6.75 at the HFS and at the grocery store it was about half that amount. I don't understand why they charge so much if they're paying the same amount for their product as the grocery stores--but then again, I guess they can't get volume discounts. Guess we'll never know.
