I'm not saving money on the cleanse either. I purposely started the Master-Cleanse when I was on a tight budget thinking I'd save some extra money.. I haven't saved anything. lol.
The maple syrup is what's making it so expensive. $7 for a 12oz bottle.. That's at least $21 a week.
When I can't get to the place that sells baseball sized lemons @ 2 for $1.. It costs me .79 EACH and I get 2tbsp out of them..
$1.50 per gallon of water when that's not on sale..
All adds up to about $40-$50 a week which is what I spend on food anyway. Any few dollars I do save gets spent when I run out of Sea Salt and lax tea. lol.
