If you are looking at cleansing the body on the cheap I would have to recommend the master cleanse, also known as the lemonade diet. The components required to do the master cleanse are easy to come by and be found at ALL grocery stores, you do not need to go to a health food store such as whole foods to get the required materials. You have an added benefit of not eating solid foods the duration of the cleanse! Though I do not recommend starving yourselves as a way to save money, you will be surprised how much money you spend on food on a daily basis.

The items you need to cleanse your body for 10 days (recommended duration of the master cleanse)

• 100% Pure Grade ‘B’ Maple Syrup (the grade B is VERY important, also recommend going organic for the cleanse)
• Lemons freshly squeezed or natural lemon juice (I know the master cleanse manual specifically says not to use lemon juice, but it was written a long time ago and you can a good quality natural and organic squeezed lemon juice in most grocery stores.
• Water (I recommend you get distilled water)
• Cayenne pepper
• Sea salt or tea with senna leaf (again I would recommend that latter, as drinking the tea is much more pleasant and relaxing than drinking a cup full of warm salt water)

The total cost to do the master cleanse for 10 days

• 100% Pure Grade ‘B’  Organic Maple Syrup 32oz  approx $26.00  (prices vary a bit depending on the selection in your area, more than enough for 10 days)
• 100% Pure Lemon Juice 16 oz approx $6.00 (might need two for 10 days)
• Organic Cayenne Pepper 3 oz approx $3.00 (more than enough for 10 days)
• Water Distilled 128 oz $0.99 (need six for 10 days)
• Senna Leaf tea 16 bags $3.99 (depends on how often you want to drink the tea, if drinking 2 – 3 times a day you will need two boxes)
• Decaffeinated Peppermint Tea 16 bags $3.99 (this is not part of the master cleanse but I needed to give myself a treat at night before bed! plus green tea is an antioxidant and and better than most anti aging products)

The total cost is $58.91, which comes to $5.89 a day, which I guarantee is way less than you spend on a food per day. Your cost will be a little higher if you want to squeeze your own lemon juice to account for the juice squeezer and fresh lemons and a little cheaper if you go with the salt water rinse instead of the tea.

If you think this is the cleanse for you, I recommend you get a book about the master cleanse they can usually be found online for about $10.00.
