Yeah i was buyign small amounts on purpose... i dont know what works best or what i prefer... so when i find that out i'll go into the "save with bulk" buying. The grit guard sounds like a great idea... i'm gonna give it a try
and see if i like it or not. Plus i let kids (they love it) help me in the washing part sometimes and this will keep them from "going to the bottom" all the time.
I really do appreciate all your help tho guys.
