Greek Yogurt-- an expensive habbit!

About six months ago, my family made the switch from a regular stirred yogurt to Greek Yogurt. Our top reason for switching was taste, followed by the extra protein found in the Greek option (almost double the protein in Greek compared to regular).

Personally, I prefer the thick and rich taste of Greek compared to other yogurts that just seem runny now. The brand we buy is Oikos and the package consists of four small cups for $3.99.  So the price is not great, but they do offer lots of different flavors. Our favorites are honey, raspberry pomegranate and key lime, but they also have strawberry, blueberry and vanilla.

Since there are three of us eating yogurt each day in my house, we go through a lot of individual containers of yogurt. I would say about 5 plus packages a week, or about $80 or so a month! Wow! That is a lot of money to spend on yogurt alone so it pays to do your math and shop according to your budget. For us, we are just not willing to sacrifice the taste and switch back to a cheaper alternative. Maybe buying in bulk could be an option though? I would love to hear from anybody who goes Greek and saves money doing it :)
