Holy crap. I need this. Curious on pricing. I just can't spring $6/a pint especially the way my hubby eats it.1
-
I hope they are less expensive and taste good- THEN maybe halo top will come down on the pricing as well3
-
I have my doubts -- most Kroger-branded foods I've tried have been less than wonderful. If I see this, I'll give it a try, though.1
-
We tried their peanut butter (tasted gritty and much too sweet), ice cream (flavorless), and hamburger buns (cottony and blah), among some others. We may just have gotten unlucky. But if I'm ever in the market for peanut butter Cheerios, I'll look them up!

Not sure on price - guessing $2.99 or $3.99 per pint?0

I have loved Kroger branded foods when I've tried them! When I saw this thread I was like WHAT.
Going to try asap! 4 -
Do you have the nutrition label? I mean, I don't like Halo Top, it's too much fake stuff.
Kroger regular ice cream is just another palm oil, corn oil, sugary bomb. If I'm going to eat ice cream, I try to buy real cream, milk, sugar ice cream. Just me. Ben & Jerry's (any flavor) or Breyers Vanilla are my go-to.0 -

Genuinely curious here, but which of Halo Top's ingredients is "fake stuff"? I'm not an ingredients expert, but when I've looked over their ingredients list, nothing jumped out at me as fake. If I recall, it's made with mostly milk, cream & eggs...

I'll have to see what the ingredients are.0

*sigh* I knew that would happen. I don't like vegetable oils (palm, safflower, sunflower, corn, or vegetable glycerin - whatever that is - etc.) in my ice cream, nor sweeteners (erythritol) that give me stomach aches. I'm sensitive, yo. If that stuff doesn't bother you, more power to you. Yes, I know not all those things are necessarily in all Halo Top.
No reason for "oils" that are not from dairy in ice cream. Milk, cream, eggs, sugar or maple sugar and fruit, nuts, or vanilla or chocolate is all I want in my ice cream.
This is a HALO TOP label.

All good. That's why I said I'm genuinely curious. I find some people consider certain ingredients "fake" based on a subjective preference - which is perfectly okay by me. I was just wondering which ingredients were questionable. Knowledge is power.4 -
We don't have Kroger over here in NYC

Yeah but you don't want to know how much I spend on food PER DAY here. You'd puke.1 -

I'll give you that. When I visited NYC I wouldn't have described the food as "economical eats"...1 -

Have you considered investing in an ice cream maker? I have the one that attaches to my kitchenaid mixer and can whip up all manner of frozen delicacies with it - including some relatively low calorie options.3 -

nice, will look for it next time at kroger!0

Kroger is just down the street from me. But, I don't shop there. (Produce is nice, but dairy section is always practically bare, and Publix employees are friendlier, at least at the one near me.) Probably just going to keep getting Halo Top at Whole Foods or Publix (or maybe Target, but that's a bit far away) rather than go to a fourth store just to save $2 or something.0
-
Simple Truth is Kroger's organic private label, so I'd expect the ingredients to be very similar to Halo Top. They're not listed on the website, obviously, or someone else would have already posted them. It just says to refer to nutritional label on product packaging. Super helpful!1
-
Halo Top is $3.99 a pint in my Kroger. I wonder how much their knock-off will be...I'm excited!1
-
Kroger just bought Pick n Save which is big in our area. I wonder if we'll see this? Either way, I'm sure many knockoff versions are coming. This will be much like what happened with Greek yogurt.2

I will have to try it next time I go grocery shopping at Kroger!0
-
I might try it. I've bought Halo Top at times but today for example we were checking out the new Fresh Market near us. HT was on sale for $4.99 and I hated spending even that much. I love Breyer's CarbSmart chocolate so I buy that a lot (recently for $2.99/half gallon which is way more reasonable!). Some variety would be nice but HT is just so pricey.0
-
I love Halo Top and am so glad it's easier to find then in the past. That being said I still can't bring myself to spend more than $4 on it so I limit myself to buying it at Smith's so I will definitely look for this next time I am there.0

Went to Kroger today and I didn't find any. they did have Halo Top on sale for $3.49, so I consoles myself with some Birthday Cake Halo Top instead. I got two Catalina coupons for $2.00 off of my next two pints, which would bring it down to 2/$5.00, which is pretty awesome! 0

I Googled it and it said it wasn't going to be released until sometime in July. This is only the 1st, so I'd give it a week or two and check again then.0 -
Costco and Fred Meyer's (Kroger) are my stores and I almost always go Kirkland at Costco and Kroger or Simple Truth at Fred's, if the same item is available as offered in the name brand. The super cheap Psst... brand is sometimes okay at Fred's. We are always a bit behind in terms of getting new products, but I frequent the ice cream section looking for a good deal on Halo Top so I can stock up (can anyone really spend $6.99 on a single pint???) and will keep my eyes peeled.0
