    For those of you spoiled enough to know what a wawa is, I strongly recommend these! Just tried them this morning and as a fan of their other cannoli dip and chips, I can say these blow their other versions out of the water (even the regular and the pumpkin)!!! Very tasty, although it could use a stronger coffee flavoring. 280 calories and worth every single one of them.

    I picked these up after seeing the great reviews somewhere in this thread. They are $5.50 regular price at Kroger, so I waited until they went on sale and I had a coupon from Kroger - I got them for $3.50, so still a pretty premium price. But they are really good! The waffle cone sandwich is sooo good and the gelato is very creamy and delicious. There is a noticeable hazelnut flavour but it is not overwhelming. I was amazed at how it could be so rich for only 210 calories (and it was actually the advertised 75g, not larger)! Very satisfied :)
    I went back to see if there was another package but didn't find any! :( I didn't check to see if they had any at regular price.
    This company sent me free coupons. I've tried their tuna before and it was ok (who hasn't), but this is just horrible. It's flaky, strangely white colored, and still had little flecks of skin in it. It's simply unbearable no matter how much mayo you put on it. It's even worse than those kipper snacks that I talked about recently.

    I like their pouches of salmons and tuna better. The cans are too big for me, and I never seem to be able to finish an entire one. The pouches are just about the right portion.

    To me, though, the salmon tastes about the same as the tuna. I wouldn't be able to tell the difference if I closed my eyes before I ate it. I usually just buy these instead of the tuna due to mercury concerns.
    Personally, I just don't like canned or pouched salmon. I tried a couple of different brands until I gave up on them.

    No Wawas near me either. From what I've read, I guess it's like Buckee's.

    Still no luck on the new Talenti flavors. I'm sad.

    I've found all the new flavors at Giant.

    I was shocked to find Giant also had a few flavors of Gelato Fiasco, & Cinnamon Buns was re-added to the Ben & Jerry's flavors!

    I haven't bought any ice cream for a few weeks since I gave it up for Lent.

    What did you think of the new Cupcake Oreos?


    that dang cinnamon buns ice cream haha ugh. I can't put it down.

    You have no idea how stoked I was when I spotted it in the freezer.

    That's the only ice cream that I always have to eat the whole pint of.

    I'll probably buy that, a few of the new Talenti flavors, & some of the Gelato Fiasco.

    There was an ice cream that sounded like it had an Asian name that had an interesting Ginger flavor that I will try as well.

    haha yup i eat the entire thing. so worth it. its litle cinnamon toast crunch cereal (no crunch) in ice cream form

    Wegmans has a similar thing that I've been dying to try actually... but it's 430 calories. Yikes, lol.

    Really? I was actually just at Wegmans today, I would have loved to try it (and maybe share the other half with siblings haha)! I also noticed these: Forte gelato and Sorbabes sorbet. I found the price a bit high for the size (couldn't justify sacrificing my Halo Top without a really good review), have you seen or tried it before? I'm really having a hard time deciding whether or not to go back and splurge to give it a try!

    Seen them but haven't bought them, I think none of the flavors appealed to me for the calories...

    Not exactly a food product, but...

    t0it2sr7w9ar.jpg
    I ordered this from Amazon last week, and I've been experimenting with it for the past few days. I love it! It makes perfect black beans in 15 minutes, perfect steamed potatoes in 5, and flawless bone broth in 2 1/2 hours! It gels and jiggles like Jell-O and everything!

    It also cooks rice, sautés, slow cooks, and makes yogurt. I haven't tried the yogurt setting yet, but I'm planning on trying that this weekend. It's also super quiet, easy to clean, and doesn't omit any smells! Totally worth the $94 I paid!

    Oh wow. Potatoes in 5 minutes? That sounds awesome! How does it work for rice? I wish I had storage space for one of those!

    Yeah. After it comes to pressure (about another 5 minutes for fresh potatoes,) they cook for 5, and then you de pressurize it, and they're done. Perfectly steamed, too. Then you can drain the water out, add a little oil, and sauté them in the same pot to make fried potatoes.

    Haven't tried the rice function out either (we don't eat much rice in my house,) but from what the directions indicate, you just put it with water into the pot, hit the rice, button, and come back when it beeps.

    I justified the space by getting rid of my slow cooker and yogurt maker. Really, it's easier to store than the average crockpot. It's 6 quarts, but it's round instead of oblong like most crockpots are, so it's less awkward to handle.

    More of these finally showed up at my Krogers. I picked up cherry and beet and am super excited to try most of the other flavors.

    The cherry was a little subtle but the beet flavor went well with the taste of plain Greek yogurt

    I got mine a few weeks ago and absolutely love it! I don't know how I lived without it!

    @Francl27, I saw that, too. Big old trays of them in the bakery; they call to me. Let me know if you break down and try them. LOL

    I'm fascinated!!! So is this an electric pressure cooker? Might NEED this.

    Which model of instant pot did you all get? I'm very tempted... especially if it does slow cooking too. Then I can put my crockpot in the basement or something.

    You dont need storage space. Once you get it you will be using it all the time every day. If a meal takes you 1 hour to cook it will do it in 1/4 the time :) and it does everything.

    The problem is I don't have counter space either :(

    So I finally tried Ben & Jerry's dairy free pb cookies flavor, and have the coffee caramel one in my freezer waiting for me to try within the next few days hopefully! In my opinion, it wasn't good at all and I'm really hoping the next one is better. I thought the texture was fine, but my dad said it was chalky. I found the almond milk very overpowering in a bad way (I usually love drinking the stuff), and it had a weird aftertaste even my mother commented on (after looking at the ingredients maybe it was the pea protein, which I don't like to start with). The best part were the peanut butter swirls which we all agreed was fantastic, but it just needed way more of them! For the price and 290 calories per half cup, I will definitely not be buying this over another ice cream. I've never really been impressed by an almond milk frozen dessert though honestly, I wish they would have used coconut milk instead!

    This has proteins and stuff. It is good in tea or jello.

    Try using it for homemade marshmallows. It's amazing!

    I got one for Christmas and I love it. It even works really well for risotto.

    This makes me very sad to read - it's pretty much exactly my experience with other almond milk frozen desserts and I was hoping this would be better. I will still try it, though.

    I love So Delicious' coconut milk desserts! Their cashew milk isn't horrible, I enjoyed some of it, but it's not something I could justify buying again for the price. Unfortunately I haven't found any almond milk ice creams I've liked yet, and I haven't tried any soy versions yet. Ben & Jerry's made theirs very similar to some other brand's almond milk versions, only Ben & Jerry's is a tad creamier, but also gritty and the aftertaste is more prominent from what I assume was the pea protein :/

    fairlife fat free milk! ♡

    Heck yeah! I used to drink whole milk, but then switched to FairLife 2% and then to the fat free. Whatever the filtering process does, it's incredible. I don't miss whole milk at all!
