    While it's not "new," 'tis the season when the Quest bars start hitting Grocery Outlet shelves. You know...all those Quest bars that stores stocked for New Year's resolutioners, and then sent to Grocery Outlet when sales went down. This weekend I have found boxes of s'mores, white chocolate raspberry, and mint chocolate chunk flavors for $12-$15 per box.

    Jealous! My Grocery Outlet just had Whey 2 Be & a few other protein snacks. I wish my Grocery Outlet would get more Enlightened/Halo Top too.


    You guys always find the best things at the outlet. I wish I had one by me. I used to go to big lots but they stopped having food for some reason.

    The Grocery Outlet can definitely be hit or miss. Sometimes I go (like a thrift store) & find absolutely nothing & other times I go I find a lot of great deals. The worst food items I ever purchased there was the dried seaweed & dried broccoli.

    Has anyone tried the YouFreshNaturals cashew butters? They have flavors like Marshmallow Crispy Treat, Maple, Frosted Animal Cookie, Fruity Pebbles, etc. Just wondering if it's worth it for the calories.

    @skelterhelter I have! My favorites are Freshy Pebbles (the Fruity Pebbles), the Vanilla Freshy flavor (Dunkaroos), & the seasonal Sugar Cookie/Egg Nog from Christmas was great as well.

    I still have a few more flavors to try (Frosted Animal Cookies & a few more of the cereal flavors). I hope the owner has OG Glazed for awhile (take on Doughnuts) since I now have way too many nut butters to justify purchasing another one.

    My one coworker/friend who can be extremely picky with foods even loved the Vanilla Freshy flavor.

    This popped up in my Facebook feed! Use code TRYFORTO at https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07PGKY8SS for a sample of Forto, just 5 cents :) I’ve tried their coffee shots before (Hershey’s chocolate, vanilla latte, and chocolate latte). I really enjoy them and the fact they’re not a ton of calories. A bit pricey, but hard to pass up for 5 cents! Amazon only gave me one choice of the Donut Shop flavor, but hey, I’ve never tried that one nor seen it in Walmart so I’m excited to try it!!! Hopefully the code doesn’t run out anytime soon, I didn’t see anything stating how long it would be available for :open_mouth: I hope everyone here gets one!! If anyone tries the Krispy Kreme glazed donut, peppermint mocha, or pumpkin spice flavor let me know how they are! I had my eye on those!

    I remember you found knock off versions of them as well. Were the knock offs just as good? I really want to try marshmallow crisp, pancakes, animal cookie. They have so many contests I can't believe I haven't won! I guess I should just stop hoping to get lucky and order a jar to try.

    I don't remember finding knockoffs for Youfreshnaturals, but maybe my recollection is fuzzy. The prices I find are decent for how great the products taste (most are around $7.99-$9.99) whereas a lot of the other nut butter brands are around $11.99+.

    I used to mass-order the donuts, until my budget got real! My only issue with some of their products is that the nutritionals are for half - I don't want half, I feel deprived at half :)

    Thanks for the heads up. I don't do half either

    I agree haha but just like how Halo Top's "serving size" is 1/2 cup, I just look at that and completely disregard it. The 180 calories I mentioned was for two of the 90 calorie half size "servings," I really don't know why they even bother with that -- I bet NO ONE who orders those only eats half. I'd like to see someone try o:

    Speaking of Halo Top, it looks like Safeway is trying to copy them and Enlightened with their Scandal-less ice cream bars haha I saw these on The Impulsive Buy

    They should make a mixed bag of the double cheddar + caramel ones. (I only am thinking of this combo because I've been obsessed with this popcorn mix)

    It is SOO good. I never though caramel and cheese would be so good together. It always sounded weird to me until I tried this popcorn.

    Okay, all you strange people who wanted potato chip ice cream...your California friend has your back:

    p4afpb4m3uay.jpg

    I was very skeptical of this and I would not have bought it ordinarily, but I did promise y'all that I would give it a try. This is also the first time I've tried Enlightened.

    As you can see, there is a little bit of fudge and a few chocolate pieces:

    ym7tpgk8kvg6.jpg

    The first flavor I got was salt. After that, I was surprised by how much it really did taste like a potato chip. The potato chip flavor is definitely stronger than the chocolate flavor, and I didn't detect much chocolate at all. It has an odd potato aftertaste...not unpleasant, just odd.

    I will probably finish this pint but not buy it again. I'm not opposed to sweet potato chips--I've had some really good dessert chips before (and there's a place in Pismo Beach I highly recommend if you're ever there and are into that kind of thing). But in ice cream, it was just weird.

    However, Safeway did have a lot of other flavors that looked more appealing to me. They had a "movie night" popcorn ice cream that looked similar to the potato chip one, if you can't get the potato chip ice cream where you live. I also bought the brownie and cookie dough pint, which I'm more excited about, as well as the Halo Top strawberry cheesecake.

    Update: I finished the pint of potato chip ice cream for dinner (DON’T JUDGE ME). I put a little Hershey’s syrup on top, and then it turned out that my pint had a big ribbon of fudge in the middle. This all made it taste more like salted chocolate with a hint of potato. I can definitely recommend it with the added chocolate syrup.

    I use my dinner calories on pints of ice cream all the time, no judgment there! Haha, that is why a pint of enlightened/halo is meant to be eaten at once! Thanks for the review, I was so curious to see how this would be. I love love anything sweet and salty so I am bummed it won't be available by me!

    Just did the same thing but in a slim twin coffee ice cream for 280 cals. Thank goodness I’m not the only one that does this :)

    If you like that popcorn and you ever get a chance to go to Garrett's Popcorn, get the Garrett's Mix. I have booked layovers through Chicago (ORD) when I had a choice just so I could get some popcorn.

    This has probably been asked before but I've only came across it. Has anyone tried the Smart cakes? What do they taste like? Are they worth it?

    I really enjoy the Smart Cakes cinnamon and chocolate. The Smart Buns are large and only 72 calories! My husband likes them because he has celiacs. They are all very expensive though.

    Thank you! Tempted to try it the variety pack is 29.99 right now. ( before tax - shipping) thinking of trying them

    One basix cookie dough chocolate chunk; isn't bad but dosent take like cookie dough imo

    Searched to see if anyone else reviewed these and only found your post from last year. Apologies if I missed others...

    Finally gave ONE Basix a try (Ibotta had a $0.25 back deal)... I had the triple chocolate chunk. NOT a fan! They are very similar to Questbars in texture, perhaps a little more "dry", and they use stevia as the sweetener instead of erythritol.

    Questbars are superior, by far, IMHO.

    I guess they're a good option if you prefer stevia to other sweeteners.

    I love them (and the smart buns someone else posted about), they’re lifesavers!!! I don’t order them too often because I usually spend all my money on coffee cakes from Simply Scrumptous first, but the cinnamon cloud cake would otherwise be my favorite. :) definitely worth trying!
    ThinSlim Foods has a very similar “cloud cake” that I also tried.... I like their cookies, but these cloud cakes are TERRIBLE compared to the smart cakes (in case you ever stumble upon those next)!!

    Is that the chocolate malt powder in a green container? Yessss. I found it at the Walmart in Florida, but the Walmart’s near me have a pathetic ethnic selection so I haven’t gotten it since then :( although don’t let the “energy” claim fool you, it’s glorified malt hot chocolate haha. But that being said... it’s AWESOME in Halo Top’s red velvet pint ;)

    I love the vanilla. The triple zero technically is not on my diet plan due to sugar so I’ve been eating the fage 0% which is good esp with berries.

    I tried the Oikos Gingerbread last week, I liked it (but again, I love most Oikos stuff, just don't find it filling enough for the calories). Can't find it anymore though.

    Had to google Dannon Greek triple zero. Interesting. I like that it's sweetened with stevia and 120 calories, 15g of protein and 5g of fiber is the bomb. Will have to try it!

    I had the Triple Zero strawberry. Good, but I think maybe a little bit of a weird aftertaste. I'll have to try some of the other flavors to give a definitive opinion.

    Not “ new” but new to me. I’ve never bought hummus before. Picked up the Sprouts Chipotle one and it’s delicious with cucumber slices. My kids love it too.
