I'm not bluesinger, but I use Da Vinci syrups - until recently they were cheaper than Torani. The last time I bought a bottle they were the same price. I use them in drinks & desserts. My favorite is adding the sf strawberry to rhubarb - we get both flavors but only the low carbs of the rhubarb. I don't use them a lot, but when I'm craving something sweet they're awfully handy. And they last for a long time on the shelf.
