SF syrup

Not all Homesense stores carry it all the time, but I've had good luck in Barrie and Burlington. No luck in Cambridge so far.
I plan on doing a little southwestern Ontario tour of Homesense stores in the next few weeks looking for a few more flavours of Davinci.
By the way, I just spoke with one of the dieticians at the Guelph clinic, and she assured me that Davinci syrups (sweetened with Splenda) are fine with Optifast and post-op, as are any SF syrups that contain zero calories! So I'm gonna go for it!
So far we have several, because my daughter has an espresso machine, and she likes to experiment; is there such a thing as caffeine free espresso?
We have Davinci French Vanilla (meh), Caramel **** Raspberry (good), Kalhua (good) and Amaretto (fantastic!!!). Amaretto was so good I bought 3 bottles!
We also have 2 bottles of Starbucks which seem to have a weaker flavour concentration, and they cost much more ($10-12?).
Now I'm looking for Davinci (or Torani) cherry, chocolate, Chai, peanut butter, coconut, English toffee and marshmallow. Someone mentioned mixing pineapple and coconut with vanilla Optifast: That sounds amazing, so I might pick up pineapple too, if I can find it. Or maybe some of those extracts from Bulk Barn...
At Homesense, if you can find them the Davinci are $6.99. However, if I haven't managed to find any before the beginning of November, I'll probably resort to ordering online, because Opti starts November 10!!!
Low Carb Grocery has them on sale for $10.99 right now, and shipping is $7.99 or free, depending on the size of your order.
Cultured Coffee Bean has Torani SF for $11.45, but the shipping is free for a smaller size order than Low Carb Grocery, so it might even out.
