Where can I buy ensure shakes like the ones given to the elderly in nursing homes?


The ones that look like the little milk cartons

Go to any supermarket or cvs/walgreens. don't expect the milk cartons though, they may only be for the nurs.homes!

All of the mart stores sell the stuff .... off brand Walmart ensure knock-off isnt bad for the price. If you want the name brand ensure go to Sams Club ... or look on line.

Here's their store locator.

Costco has the best price. An entire case of about 24-36 bottles can be about $15.

Check your local grocery store's health food section. They should have cans of Ensure in that department. The other place to check is a special diet food section, and maybe back by the pharmacy. You could also check the section where they sell adult diaper products. It could be there.

Best thing to do if you can't find it in the store, yourself, is ask a clerk or manager.

But there are lots of Ensure products sold in stores now. A friend of mine drinks it everyday, and he's not elderly. He just uses it as a nutrition supplement. He gets it from Raley's.

GNC

Ensure isn't only for old people btw...any drug store is sure to have it.

It's everywhere just go to your favorite store.

contact your local pharmacist...they should be able to order you any flavour you want

Everywhere. Grocery stores, discount stores, pharmacies... they're widely available.
