Hi Kay
. Do you have a Dr. Bernstein clinic near your home? There isn't one near me, but I have read on the Alternatives thread that Dr. B. clinics carry similar items to IP products, but at a much lower cost. I don't remember who posted it, but apparently you don't have to be a Dr. B. Client to shop there. If you're willing to give online shopping a try, Nashua Nutrition has quite a big variety of IP friendly choices, at roughly 1/3 the price. Shipping in the U.S. is free for orders over $100.
Good luck with your shopping
