I haven't done a "mission" in awhile, but I was recently invited to try vitaminwater active as well as some summer barbecue must-haves including McCormick Grill Mates Bottle Blend Seasoning, Keebler Chips Deluxe Cookies, Lays Original (Kettle) Chips, and Kleenex Wet Wipes. Here are some of my take-aways:
- My husband liked the vitaminwater active, but I did not actually try it because the sugar count was higher than I like in a beverage (mostly due to my Type 1 Diabetes). I appreciate the use of natural sweeteners, but I still thought 26g of carbohydrate was a lot for one serving! I would buy this drink again for a good price (like the $0.84 price right now at Kroger), but my husband didn't like it enough to buy it above other similar drinks. For reference, we tried the lemon-lime flavor.
- We tried the McCormick Grill Mates seasoning on grilled hamburgers last night, and I really liked it. I am used to buying celery salt to season hamburgers, but this was just as good, so I will likely purchase this again based on price/availability.
- Keebler Chips Deluxe cookies are already a favorite of mine, so I enjoyed having this sample. We don't buy these cookies on a regular basis, though, because my son has a peanut allergy, and this package says that they "may contain peanuts" due to the M & M component. I highly recommend these otherwise :)
- The Lays Original kettle chips were my favorite part of this sample pack! I am a sucker for chips, especially kettle chips, and the Lays brand did not disappoint! I will definitely buy these again.
- Kleenex wet wipes have been very handy to have in my purse, but I cannot imagine buying these on a regular basis when baby wipes seem to be a cheaper and comparable option.
Overall, I was pleased with the samples I received in these two missions. These samples and missions make me a happy Kroger shopper, and I am excited to purchase some Lays Original kettle chips again soon - maybe without sharing them this time!
Now, I'm onto the next mission!
XOXO,
