New Product: Flavored French Fries

I absolutely love salty snacks. Add hot, fresh, crispy ones and there you have my love affair with french fries.  I always add salt, hot sauce and ketchup.  Well imagine my excitement when I found these Great Value fries in the frozen aisle at Walmart. 

They carry BBQ, Sour Cream& Onion, Ranch and Cracked Black Pepper & Sea Salt. I love the fact that they're only 150 calories per one ounce serving. At a price tag of $1.50 a bag I'll be trying these very soon. Have you seen these at your local Walmart?

Free Slurpee at 7-11

I recently posted a review of the Lite Slurpee from 7-11 and I'm truly a fan. Well the good news is on July 11th 7-11 is offering a free small Slurpee from 11am - 7pm at participating locations. Yum!

New Dole Treats

I really dislike bananas and I dislike dark chocolate even more. So it goes without saying I was not at all excited to try Dole's new chocolate covered bananas, but I'm sure this will be a real treat to some. At 100 calories a serving they're better than a candy bar or fattening ice cream. I saw these at Walmart near the breakfast items.

Still Undecided

I have been a huge fan of Breyer's since I was a little girl. My father always enjoyed a bowl of Butter Pecan after dinner. I grew to like it although I would spit out the pecans. Something about the buttery ice cream I really, really love. Breyer's Blasts are a staple in my home. They taste great and are fairly low in fat and calories. Now Breyer's offers new Butter Pecan for 100 calories per serving. It's sweetened with Splenda so it could go either way as far as taste. It was on sale for $3.00 at Food Lion so I don't know if I would pay any more for it.

The first time I tried it I thought it was really good. There was the recognizable taste of the butter and the nice balance of the pecans. Then the seond time I tried it there was kind of an artificial taste. I'm going to give it one more try before I give up on it. Low fat ice creams have really helped me in terms of weight loss so I always like finding a new flavor. If you really have a taste for butter pecan ice cream I would definitely recommend giving this a try.

New Products from Healthy Choice

While in Food Lion I ran across some new Healthy Choice items that actually looked quite promising. As I stated in a previous post I am now a fan of greek yogurt. Healthy Choice now carries frozen greek yogurt. They come in a four pack for 4/$10.00 with your VIP card and the regular price is $3.49. They had vanilla bean and raspberry. I love vanilla bean anything so these are definitely on my list to try.

They also had Healthy Choice Baked Taste. I wasn't able to find this on their website but Food Lion carries the Four Cheese Ziti Marinara and Lasagna. I did purchase the latter and I'm looking forward to trying it. They were on sale 2/$4.00 regularly 2/$5.00. I'll review the lasagna at a later date.
