Influenster Lifeway Kefir Review

A month ago I was selected to participate in the Influenster Lifeway program. I'm a huge fan of yogurt, so I was really excited to try out this new product. A week later I received two coupons, one was for a free product and the other was for $1 off 2. Looking at the coupons, I realized that this product comes in a drinkable form as well as frozen. I knew immediately that I was headed off to get some frozen yogurt.

I jumped onto my laptop and checked out the Lifeway site and narrowed down the closest stores to my location that carried them, the only problem is that the site doesn't state whether the stores carry both (drinkable, frozen) or just one kind. First two stores I walked into didn't have any at all (regardless of what the website had said), next store I walked into had only the drinkable yogurt. By now I was starting to get frustrated because how hard can it be to find a simple product. A few days later, I made a special trip out to a higher end grocery store and was lucky enough to find that they carried both products. My product of choice was the strawberry frozen Kefir.

I love the taste, it reminds me of candy (think laffy taffy of sorts), I would definitely try the other flavors. The other awesome benefits to this product include, probiotics, low calorie count, all natural, gluten free just to name a few. I will say though that I didn't enjoy traveling all over town just to find it and I doubt I would pay $5 a pint. In my opinion, that's just a tab bit high. However if it happened to be on sale, I'd be all over it.

**These products were sent to me complimentary through Influenster for an honest non paid review**

Bzzagent - Summer Grilling with Kroger Campaign




A month ago I was selected to participate in the Bzzagent, Summer Grilling with Kroger campaign. I was so excited to receive my products and get to testing, cause what's better than free products? FREE FOOD PRODUCTS!!! 

I was sent the following coupons:
- One free Big K 12-pack soda (any variety)
- One free pack of Kroger hamburger/slider buns (8 or 12 count)
- One free pack of Kroger Beef sliders or Turkey burgers
- One free pack of Kroger potato chips (any variety)
- 40 cents off one Kroger deluxe ice cream (any variety)

I was also sent a bunch of 40 cents coupons off Big K 12-pack soda and ice cream to give to my family and friends.

The day my coupons arrived, I hurried off to my nearest Kroger store and started shopping. I picked up turkey burgers, hamburgers buns, plain chips and Orange soda. I got back home, turned on my oven, and got to cooking. The best part was that the turkey burgers did not need to be defrosted. 

The turkey burgers were great. I personally thought that they could use a tad bit more seasoning but other than that they were an awesome grab. For the price of $7.99, I will definitely be purchasing them again. 

The chips were delicious. My husband (who's not a store brand type of guy) said that they tasted just as good as Lays chips. I have to totally agree with him on that one. They were gone in a couple days.  

The orange soda was awesome. I'm a big fan of orange soda to begin with and the taste of the Kroger brand was just/if not better than any brand name orange soda.

Overall, if you want great products with great flavors for a great price, then check out your local Kroger store.
