Kroger Private Selection



As a Bzzagent, I receive these three products as samples, for free to try and give my opinion.  I got 3 coupons to pick three "Private Selection" frozen dish at Fry's.  I decided to save those dishes for our little New Year's celebration.  I picked the Quiches, the Chicken Barbeque Pizza and the Creme Puffs.
All of them were really good.
 I love all three kinds of quiches (Spinach was my favorite, Regular had mushrooms on the bottom instead of lards, but I like that better and the mushroom was my least).  They cooked very fast in my toaster oven, which was better than heating a big over.  The crust was perfect.  The cost was around $7, too much for me, that's over $1 a piece!!!
The Pizza was really good too. It had a little kick to it. The crust was good.  The price was also too high, because it's really small. It says 3 servings on the box, but frankly, this is America and one of those would feed one big good American!!!
The Puffs were good and creamy.  I just let them thaw out on the counter, I don't see another way of doing it.  There are 30 per box, and they too were around $7, but for those, it's quite average.
All in all, the Private Selection from Kroger earns a 4 star from me, because of its high price. I think if the price is the same as a non store brand, people will always pick the brand name over a store name, that's a guarantee!

Me want cookies

I got these cookies in the mail from being a BzzAgent and thus got them for free, to try them and give them a review.  They have been long gone but it took me a while to write about them.  They were just plain old dumb chocolate chip cookies, nothing to write town about actually. Alex put them in the microwave and said they were really good like that, but I didn't get a chance to try that since, well, I have 5 kids and a husband and the box only holds a total of probably 15 to 20 cookies- you gotta be fast here if you want more than ONE cookie!  I like them enough to eat them though, don't get me wrong of course.  I have no idea how much they could cost at the store, which would really determine wither or not I would buy them again.  I'd say they're better than Chips A'Hoy, but mainly because they're bigger, so you have more than two bites.  So all in all, if you want a hard cookie, not at all home made, these will do...

Style Find Review

I signed up for that website through Bzzagent.com, so it was free.  It is a website that lets you get high end clothes for much cheaper, under $100...but if you know me, you know I'm a Target clearance kind of gal, and I don't care about brand names, so hmm, yeah, not for me at all!  However, feel free to click on their link on the bottom of my blog.

Looks like it doesn't take you anywhere, hmmm...
