Some cost-saving suggestions
Estee -
I agree with you when it comes to cost. One option would be to buy it by the gallon, especially if you catch it when they run a 25% to 50% off sale. I think right now they have a 33% off sale which makes a gallon cost only $145 compared to the normal $220. Another option, which is what I advise, is to buy some of the premium product (perhaps a gallon when it is on sale) for reallly tough problems and to take at the beginning of a long term treatment and then make your own for pennies with a good quality home generator which you can purchase or, if you are handy at such things, make your own and really save on oveall costs.
I really like Utopia Silver's Silver Bullet generator. It is a no frills unit without the fancier clamshell cover and some of the bells and whistles on other units, BUT it is made with a higher voltage generator and produces more colloidal silver content than most of the home generators which cost twiice as much. Plus, they may still have the special going on where you can buy the Silver Bullet generator and get a lifetime buy-one get-one free discount on the 8 ounce bottles of CS (which normally retail for $29).. Personally, I wish they had an automatic stirrer - but it would probably not be very hard to rig one up. There is a bit of upfront expense, but a gallon of the premium CS should last for a long, long time - especially if you make your own for ordinary use and long term use.
BTW, I buy the premium CS 5 gallons at a time - but in fairness, I do get quite the discount since the owner of the company has been a best friend of mine since the second grade at Davey Crockett Elementary in Greenville, Texas. We played with Tonka trucks and toy soldiers in the dirt, were in Boy Scouts together, rode hundreds of miles on our bicycles, terrorized our neighborhood and we re-fought the Battle of the Alamo in my back yard (which had a wooden stockade type fence) many, many times. Except somehow, we always won.
