I haven't tried Nush cakes yet but I've been following them in case they offered a good sale making it more affordable.
Well, no sale, but better - free samples! They also let you choose which two you'd like
I chose carrot spice and peanut butter! I can't wait 
I hope they're good!

I also went to Aldi to check for that new ice cream, AND THEY HAD IT. No price tag was with them but they rang up $2.99 each. I checked with the regular ice cream on the shelf and didn’t see them, but something inside me told me to check the freezer in the center of the floor with the frozen appetizers and novelties and there they were! Kind of a weird place for them, it didn’t look like they really had a set area where they belonged...
It seems like products that they have in the middle freezer section are often limited time offerings, at least at my store. If you want to keep them around, maybe reach out to Aldi corporate and let them know you're a fan!
Honestly I have a hard time believing these would be limited time only, I feel like too many people would buy them! But I’ll do that!
I had the chocolate and honestly I’m curious if Eden Creamery (the company that makes Halo Top) is behind this? I can’t imagine how else they would get away with making the containers look nearly identical and use such similar ingredients. The chocolate tastes and feels like the original Halo Top did before they changed the recipe to make it softer. Very dense and I liked it a lot! There’s no way this isn’t Halo Top, they probably just changed the name so people wouldn’t think any less of them for being cheaper...
I wouldn't be surprised if they were. Majority of Aldi's products are private label after all.2 -
I wrote to Aldi's about 1.) Loving this product and saying if it's seasonal they should keep it all year round while expanding the flavor selection to include others (caramel macchiato) and 2.) Whether or not Eden Creamery/Halo Top was behind this miracle.
This is what they responded:
Summary:
1.) It's seasonal.... which is like a stab to my heart, honestly.
2.) They're not allowed to disclose this information... I'm still convinced it's a yes, though!
Halo Top can totally afford to sell in large quantities for less money, hence why some Shoprite stores (and BJ's Wholesale) sells 4 pack containers putting the pints just under $3 each! I'm praying for the day these larger bulk containers include mixed varieties. I don't want 4 birthday cake pints, darn it, I want options (and by options I mean 4 caramel macchiato pints instead)!

HAHA! Basically that is a yes to halo top being behind it. I think MANY companies make things for aldi at a lower price because they know they can hit that market and still make a profit.4 -
Didnt get cookies! But i guess this works (4 free cookies)5 -
I'm literally addicted to both of these !! The mini caramels are 130 cals but are so worth it! Now I'm on the look out for the birthday cake flavor
The Birthday Cake flavor is my favorite by Fiber One by far! I just wish more Walmart stores would get it since I don't go to the one often that does carry it.1 -

That is awesome, Vnb! I kinda hope I get those too, lol. I'd honestly rather pick my own. The only flavor from that brand I've ever tried was the Snickerdoodle and I really liked it. Don't know if I'll be able to eat just one serving (half the cookie), though!2 -
Has anyone did any of the buy one get one half off on Vitaminshoppe? I was going to get some of the Bang caffeine free Cotton Candy & whenever I put two in my cart it came up with the full amount. It did that even as I got to the part where I had to hit pay. When does it take the promo into consideration?0

I bought 4 cases of chips. The two different flavors of tortilla chips and the cart had one at 17.99 and the other at 9.00. I had the same flavor for the regular chips and it added them together. The pricing was automatic when it hit the cart.
Edited because I went to the website and answered my own question.0 -

I just went & looked again & it must be certain flavors! Ugh! The one I want is only 10% off. No thanks. It seems the caffeinated ones are on sale, but I don't tolerate energy drinks very well.0 -
100% old recipe Halo Top right here. Thank God, too, I LOVE the taste of Halo Top’s vanilla bean pint and them raising the calories in that was heartbreaking. I wish Aldi also came out with the lemon because that was another delicious one for 240 calories!
Speaking of frustrating sales on only specific flavors of things, Shoprite’s pint sale excludes random flavors. For example, the birthday cake and mint Enlightened pints aren’t part of the $2.88 sale. But all their other flavors are. Weird.

I must have gotten the mean representative because I didn't get the sample pack or coupons4

I could give you the email address of the lady I talked to. She was nice to me. And that sucks that Mint is excluded from the sale at Shop Rite! That was one I was planning to throw in to my shopping cart, lol. Oh well. I really wanna get my hands on the newest flavors I haven't tried yet. S'mores, Cookies and Cream, Glazed Donut, and maybe one other. Hell, I might just grab some doubles at that price!1 -
So I went to a different GNC than I normally do and noticed they sell those SinFit cookies! I ordered some online so I didn’t get any, but shucks I wish I had waited - I could have saved on shipping AND had them sooner!
Also noticed this Shamrock lean bar, which I picked up a box of. I hope it’s good! Has anyone here tried, let alone seen this before??

My mom just tried the protein chips and her first words were “wow, this is really salty! I’m not used to anything this salty!”
Personally, I love salt so I probably overlooked this aspect entirely. So heads up to those who don’t like salty things! That being said, she took the bag and went downstairs without giving them back, so I think she likes them xD
EDIT: When I wrote that, the ones she tried was cheddar. When she finished the bag she came back up and asked to try the ranch. She put one in her mouth said, “these are less salty” (I didn’t notice a difference personally but I have a high salt tolerance) then went downstairs with the bag. She yelled up, “they’re both amazing, order me some!” She’s very harsh on protein stuff so that’s a big two thumbs up!3 -

I LOVE salt so I will definitely be trying these! Might have to go get the sinister cookies today, I had no idea they carried them thank you!2 -

I went on Vitamin Shoppe’s website to order and in addition to buy one get one half off, if you spend over $75 you get 20% off your order with the code BIRTHDAY. Not too shabby!
I ordered 6 boxes (3 of each flavor), and each box has 8 bags. With the coupon my total came to $64.76, or about $1.35 per bag of chips ($10.79 per case). I’m set for a very long time haha2 -

If you go through Ebates you get 5% back too. Still... I know I'll like them but I don't know if I'll be able to go through 48 bags before they expire, LOL.4 -

Wow. These Snickers look nearly identical when I cut them!
Salty n Sweet Snickers: tastes like a salty version of regular snickers, but whereas I normally enjoy salty things it’s just... weird with this. I didn’t like it.
Espresso Snickers: First of all, the smell alone SCREAMS coffee! It’s more bitter than a normal Snickers bar, and while I enjoy it more, I feel like it would’ve paired better with a darker chocolate coating. The milk chocolate/espresso combination again, comes across as a little strange and doesn’t complement each other well. I didn’t hate it, but I won’t get it again, either. I’m freezing my other bar in hopes it’ll improve it.
I went to 2 Shoprites today in hopes that I would find some 240 calorie pints left by Halo Top. No success whatsoever. I caved and decided to try the 280 calorie Lemon Cake. It might be all in my head, but it feels less creamy and more tart. Definitely more of an upfront lemon flavoring than before and not as sweet. I don’t like it nearly as much
went from being one of my favorites behind Caramel Macchiato to way down on my list as flavors not to get again. I also noticed the Chocolate Banana pint went from 280 calories to 320... ugh.

Thank you to the person who suggested I try Enlightened. Arctic Zero is still my low cal fave, but Breyers and Enlightened - love both.3

I wonder if they've changed recipes on a lot of the pints? I tried the Sea Salt Caramel again & found it much more sweeter & enjoyable than the first few times I've tried it. I also thought the Caramel Macchiato had a more stronger coffee base, which I found a bit off putting & noticed it didn't taste as sweet.
If you try the newer recipe for Chocolate Banana let me know how it is, because I didn't care for the 280 calories one. Something about the flavor just seemed so artificial & boring compared to Enlightened's Bananas Foster flavor.

I wonder if the HT recipe changed due to some people finding pints had shrunk! There's probably something in the ingredients that caused it to do so.2

I went to a third Shoprite and found 4 of the old lemon pints (240 calories) and the 5th pint was the new recipe (280 calories)! I grabbed all four! But I’m looking at the differences between the vanilla and lemon, it seems like the biggest difference is instead of using milk and cream they use skim milk now... which is odd. It definitely didn’t taste as creamy as I mentioned yesterday, it was more tart and upfront. But I’d think this change should bring the calories down, not up? Huh....

There's cream in the higher one as well, just further down. I wonder if they just separated the two ingredients - but didn't necessarily lower the amount of cream since before it was counted with the milk? Is the grams in the serving size different as well, despite being 1/2 cup still?

By law they have to list ingredients in the order of weight, so if it’s first there’s more of it in the product than things closer to the end of the list. So they’re using less cream; I don’t know HOW much less, but it’s enough for me to tell and not like it nearly as much. I have the vanilla so I’m curious how that one will be.... usually I don’t like lemon flavored things because they’re so tart (as the newer pint is), but the old recipe didn’t have that tartness. So I guess we’ll see! I’m hoping for the best with the vanilla, but it’s still a shame they’re going up in calories.0
