Review: Kroger's Private Selection line of gormet food

I received coupons from Bzz Agent to try Kroger's Private Selection new line of food. I got an appetizer, a pizza and a dessert. I have to say I LOVED it, much more than I expected to. The appetizers I chose were southwestern chicken trumpts (cheese, peppers, chicken). They were so good. My pizza choice was garlic and pepperoni (big chunks of garlic and cheese), oh so good! For dessert I chose chocolate lava cakes. I have not had the cakes yet, I'm too full from eating everything else. I don't think there is any chance though that I won't like it. The pizza was so delicious. I liked it more than anything I've ever had from Pizza Hut or another chain. It reminded me some of the pizza we ate in Connecticut at Pepe's. I have a new favorite. Glen and I shared it for our lunch date today. It was perfect for 2 people. Can't wait to get it again!

A couple weeks ago I got a box of Fekkai's glossing shampoo and conditioner. I love it! My hair feels so soft and silky after each wash. I got a sample of the glossing cream as well. I didn't like that as much as the shampoo set. I don't know if I used too much of the cream (I only used a pea sized amount) or not, but my hair felt a little on the greasy side with the cream. I was so excited about the new shampoo though that I looked for it at Target. It was more than $20 for the shampoo and conditioner. I wasn't expecting it to be that much. So right now I'm thinking this is going to be a possible treat from time to time, not my mainstay shampoo. We'll have to see. I still have half a bottle left so it's easy for me to say that now.

I received a Bzz kit with a full size Burt Bees sensitive skin cleanser and daily moisturizer recently. I LOVED them. I do have sensitive skin and these products are fragrance free, dye free, etc and worked great. I felt like the cleanser really cleaned my skin without stripping it. And the moisturizer feels great. I can't wait to try the eye cream and the night cream as well. If you're thinking about buying it, Target has coupons on their website right now that you can use with a manuf. coupon to save any more. I think I'll have to make a Target run this week!

Cookie review: Krogers truly Awesome Chocolate Chip Cookies

Yesterday I received two boxes of Kroger's The Truly Awesome™ Homestyle Chocolate Chip Cookies. The kids and I opened them immediately. The loved the cookies. I liked the cookies, but didn't fall in love with them. I thought they were a little dry and the cookies were all broken in the box. Of course, mine were mailed to me. I didn't get them at the store. I do have to say they were full of chocolate chips which made them an instant hit with my kids. I believe there were 8 cookies in a box. If I have a coupon and they are on a good sale, I might be tempted to get them again. However, I think I'll stick with homemade. Nothing quite beats fresh from the oven.
