I stopped by the ABC store (Alcohol) on the way home last night cause I wanted to stock up for the Super Bowl. It's the only place around here that sells Baja Bob's Margarita Mix at a decent price ($6.10). About a buck cheaper than most Health Food Stores. Currenty, there are only two places to get it if you want to buy locally. I think its neat that the Virginia Government is supporting LC by carrying at least the one mix.

Anyway, what I wanted to say was that the manager said they could not keep the stuff stocked. That people were buying it up the second it was put on the shelf. I cleared them out of their last three bottles of the Margarita Mix. (mine! mine!)

LOL. Hey the more we speak up and buy LC friendly products the more we'll find them.

That is funny, I expierenced sorta the same thing.
My local supermarket started carrying lc tortillas a few weeks ago. I went to get some the other day and they were out. The manager said they did not anticipate them selling so fast. They can't seem to keep them in stock.
Perhaps they will get more lc products since it is going so well.

About the Maragarita mix. What is the carb count? I miss margarita, this is the first I heard of a lc version.

Good luck all!!

The carb count is 1 carb per glass. (I believe...). It's sweetened with SPLENDA.

I like the "Original Mix" over the "Desert Lime". The "Desert Lime" is too sour for me.

That's right Barb! Tell them you want your lo-carb stuff and they will be more than happy to sell it to you!
