Thursdays Product Review Discussion!
I’m enjoying reading the comments on my previous post about the free Velveeta Shells & Cheese cups at Walgreens and well, that got me thinkin’… why not have a little product review discussion. I love hearing feedback and reviews on different foods, personal care items and more. It’s especially nice to hear different opinions before going out and buying the product.
If you all are interested, I think I’m going to start a once a week discussion on Thursdays. Every week I will ask a new question that has to do with various products on the market! I think this will be really fun and I can’t wait to hear what everyone has to say.
Today’s question is:
What product have you tried recently because of a coupon or sale and really enjoyed?
I’ll go first, I absolutely LOVE the new Raisin Bran Crunch cereal. I snagged a really great deal at Target previously and stocked up! This cereal is so yummy! It’s crunchy, not too sweet and so good with a spoonful of milk. I eat this cereal a couple times a week and never get sick of it.
I also have made Raisin Bran Crunch Muffins using this recipe here and let me just say YUM! The best muffins I’ve ever tasted. I did substitute 1/2 whole wheat flour for the white. Other then that, though, I kept the recipe the same. They turned out super tasty and I owe it all to the wonderful box of Raisin Bran Crunch cereal!:)
Now your turn…
the True Delights- Dark Chocolate/Raspberry/Almond granola bars from Quaker are amazing!! i used my coupons that came with the sample the next day! so yummy
Wacky Mac Macaroni and Cheese. got for .09 on a Bloom Triple. the pasta is all different shapes (4) and the kids like that!
My husband loved the Alexia Onion Strips (less than $1 at Target) , my daughter loved the Strawberry Eggo Bakeshop Twists( less than $1 at Wal-Mart), and I love the Electrosol dishwasher tablets (50 cents at Wal-Mart- with price match and coupon).
Great Idea!
I have recently tried and love the Marie Callander’s Pasta Al Dente Rigatoni con Pesce (Shrimp in a Creamy Lobster Sauce). It has one of the most delicious sauces I have ever tried in a frozen/box dinner!!! Not so sure that it qualifies as creamy, but it does qualify as DELICIOUS. Not so big of a fan of the Pasta Al Dente Fettuccini Chicken Balsamico… it was a bit overly salty tasting to me.
I also have fallen in love with the Nature Valley Sweet and Salty Granola Bars. I recently fell back into eating granola bars regularly again and these are the most delicious granola bars I have ever tasted.
I also tried the TLC Trail Mix Granola Bars and was not impressed. I am all for healthy food, but this stuff tastes good for you and not in a good way. I don’t know if any of the other TLC bars taste better but these taste like straight up dry oats… kinda like oatmeal eaten straight out of the box without adding water or milk.
Oh and I would say that the Kellogg’s Cinnabon bars are not impressive enough for me to buy again. They did taste good, but not so good that they are worth the money or calories… especially given how small and unfilling they are for the amount of calories you take in.
Let’s see… I love the Raisin Bran Crunch but really didn’t like the Post Trail Mix (my son took those boxes home last night). I didn’t like the Marie Callendar’s frozen meal but I did like the Tyson skillet dinner (chicken alfredo, I think). I loved the Alexia waffle fries but didn’t like the PopChips at all.
Mostly it’s just a lot of fun to try new things!
Absolutely the Electrasol PowerTabs are amazing. I also love the recent Visine Eye Wipes… I use them to take off eye makeup. My favorite must be Got2Be Define and Shine Pomade, though. I have dry, fly-away hair and this stuff actually makes it pretty smooth. I love the Dove Ultimate GoFresh deodorants… works well even in Texas summers. I hate the million ELF lipglosses I got a few months ago. They are for 13-year olds who enjoy glitter. I don’t like the TrailMix cereal, tastes like cardboard to me.. but I love Frosted Mini-Wheats! 🙂
Eggo BakeShop Twists (Strawberry and Apple) are very good! My hubby like to heat one up and add a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a late night treat. We got to try them for 24 cents on sale!!!
Del Monte Fruit Chiller bars (in the canned fruit section) are great tasting, made with real strawberries, and only have 50 calories. They go BOGO at Publix and usually have about $1 off coupon available on smart source or coupons.com. This make 2 boxes about 70 cents each – worth every penny!
One more…. Bar-S Hotdogs. Can be found BOGO or around $1 a pack and we had a $1 off 2 coupon. They were really good. I was skeptical of this unknown brand, but they actually won the Chefs Best Taste Award in 2008 or 2009. They are tasty even from the microwave!
