Look At My Dollar Tree Find!!

Right now I'm trying out low sugar products for my weight loss as well as overall health. The Dollar Tree is a place where I'm constantly finding hidden gems all for the low low of $1.25. You can't beat that. Imagine my suprise when I ran across these hydration packets the other day. Have you seen this in your local Dollar Tree?

New Product Alert!!

I absolutely love Aldi's for new food finds and today was no different. I paid $3.99 for Caramel Apple Trail Mix from Southern Grove. gIt has a blend of caramel apple flavored mini candy cups, yogurt flavored raisins, cinnamon cookie squares and caramel apple seasoned almonds. I'm a sucker for anything cinnamon flavored and this did not disappoint. Each one of the snacks is extremely tasty with just the right amount of sweetness, and the variety makes it even better. The only real con is the high calorie for one small serving. I won't be buying these again as if I'm going to have something higher calorie I'd want it to be tastier. I'm giving these a 7/10.

New Product Alert

I found these new products at Walmart. Cheeseburger Onion Rings definitely look interesting. The cheese balls are a definite. I'll post the review when I try them.

Stadium Nachos?

I think Bravo has about the best chips out. Their nacho chips (although I can rarely find them now), are second only to old school Doritos to me. And the cheap cheese of overpriced stadium/movie theater nachos are everything. So I'll admit I was fairly enthused when I saw these stadium nachos at The Dollar Tree. I immediately grabbed the bag and proceeded to checkout already imagining the possibility of how delicious these might be. So I get home, mouth watering ready for these life changing chips. I'll have to admit, these really do have the taste of the infamous nachos. I mean, as much as a potato chip can. They have this tangy, cheesy taste with the crunch of a good corn chip. And quiet as kept, Dollar Tree has some of the best chips. My favorite is their Utz Sour Cream n Onion. And then dip those in ranch, my goodness. But I digress. I haven't finished the bag so I guess they weren't that great, but I wouldn't count out purchasing them again. This time I would probably dip them in their jalepeno cheddar cheese dip. Overall I would give these a 6/10. Let me know what you think.

New Product Alert! Apple Cider Vinegar

I have tried and tried to stay consistent on my apple cider vinegar kick. I know about all of the benefits but if there's anything I'm good at its being consistent in my inconsistency. I used to pour some in my tea - and even then, it's a pretty unpleasant taste. Bragg's Apple Cider Vinegar now has their vinegar with cinnamon, honey, and lemon. Not only do they have the bottles which I found for $4.49 at Walmart, but they have single serve bottles. I really need to get back on my detox so I purchased the bigger bottle. I don't know why I would expect anything other than apple cider vinegar. I was bamboozled. This mixture tasted the same as regular apple cider vinegar.

They also offered the individual size. At $4.98 from Walmart, you can buy the bigger bottles and just pour them in separate cups from the dollar store. But I guess you pay for convenience.

Review : Chobani Mint Chocolate Chunk

Chobani is by far one of my favorite brands when it comes to Greek yogurt. They always seem to be coming out with new flavors and combinations. I found Mint Chocolate Chunk in Walmart for $1.19. On the Chobani website it is listed under the "Blended" category which is described as "yogurt and fruit mixed together in perfect harmony". Not quite sure how this flavor fits. But anyway, mint and chocolate are two of my favorite combinations. I love it in ice cream, milkshakes, candy bars, etc. Now the thing about this new flavors is that they are hit or miss. Some I have been impressed by, others are quite disappointing. Because of that, I usually have no expectations when trying new flavors. The smell of the yogurt was quite week. It smelled like mint chocolate, but very slight. The texture was no different than other yogurts - thick and smooth. Now the taste, it left quite a bit to be desired. There was no sweetness to it. The taste of mint and chocolate were pretty much close to nonexistent, it was very faint. Overall I would have to give this a 4 out of 10 starts. I would definitely not purchase this again. Have you tried this? Let me know what you think in the comments. What's your favorite Chobani flavor? By the way, I am working on getting a new camera, please forgive the blurry pictures.
