Jane says: <<Check those garage sales!!!!!! That is where I got mine - cheap, never been used!!!!!!>> That is where I found my food/meat grinder. At a yard sale. Its about 30 years old, but all stainless steal and had all the parts to it. Cost me $15. I also found my meat slicer at a yard sale. Again stainless steal and I can cut my roasts into either very thin deli meat or nice thick steaks. This was $10. Trish
