You can buy it directly from their website! www.stretch-island.com (http://www.stretch-island.com)
They don't charge shipping or sales tax. I bought the Original Sampler box which is 36 pieces for $14. They also have the Organic box, 30 pcs at $14. I usually pay about $0.99 per leather so I'm excited about getting it for $0.39!

Glad you found them at a good price. At our local hfs (whole foods) they are a steal at 3/$1.00 and organics are 2/$1.00. My kids love these! So yummy and healthy:thumbsup:

Our HFS are so inconsistant with their pricing and availability on these. Plus our sales tax is 9.25%.:eek:
If I didn't think it would be a HUGE mess I'd just make them. I know they're very easy.

Trader Joe's brand is only $.29 each. I take one to school every day. Each of my kids has their own flavor that they prefer so we buy them 40 at a time.

Someone should post a recipe...I want to make them! We eat them way too much to keep buying so many of them.

I saw one today!
Fruit Leather
1 c chopped fruit
2 tbs honey
Preheat oven to lowest possible temperature, 100-140 degrees F. In a blender or food processor, mix fruit and honey until smooth and pulpy, about 10 seconds. Spread parchment paper or lightly greased aluminum foil on a jelly roll pan (or just a flat pan with a lip). Spread fruit evenly over pan and bake for 3 hrs or until fruit is dry.
I'm sure you could substitute corn syrup for honey if you're vegan or allergic.

Somewhat offtopic but where the heck do you find parchment paper?!?! I've looked at the grocery stores, target and haven't found it

Ooooh cool! Would that work with apples and bananas? Those are the only fruits I have on hand and I would love to make these tonight! :)

I have bought mine at the grocery store, but the online kitchen stores carry it as well. Just do a search for "parchment paper." Also, here's some precut on ebay. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3800523176&category=11886

You can also buy the sampler box at Costco. I just bought one on Monday, it was a little over $7.00.
Parchment paper can be bought at most grocery stores. I know Walmart also carries it.

:thumbsup: Thanks! :D
Our local HFS charges $0.50 each, it is a 40 minute drive to the local trader joes and our Costco doesn't have them. Who would think that you could order them directly for such a good price.
Thanks Again :D

TJ's is about 40 minutes from us as well. That is part of the reason I buy 40 of them at a time.:thumbsup:
