You can buy unbleached "fine" muslin at a fabric store and make your own for pennies. Or just cut squares of a size that is suitable for the amount you are straining - I use 24 inch x 24 inch for most things.
I spread the resulting solids on a sheet pan and dry it then store it in plastic bags in the freezer to add to cakes, quick breads and etc., or even to smoothies as it is a good fiber source and the skins of almonds have lots of vitamins and minerals.
Almond meal also makes a dandy facial scrub with yogurt. One of the ladies down the road is from India and mixes yogurt, egg white and almond meal into a paste she uses for a mask, leaves it on for 15-30 minutes and washes it off. She is 60 and looks 30.
I've used it a few times but not on a regular basis - at 72 I'm not all that worried about my complexion.
Other nut meals are hazelnut or filbert, sunflower, Brazilnut, walnuts and macadamias. If I have just a small amount, I simply blend them together.
