Review: Arla Dofino Cheese

I signed up as a Bzz Agent with www.bzzagent.com. As an agent, they send me samples of different products to try. In return, I write reviews, share coupons and tell friends about the products.


For this campaign I got to try Arlo Dofino Cheese. The only cheese my store sold from this brand was their Chipolte Gouda. I really enjoyed it. The cheese had the perfect blend of gouda creaminess and spicy chipolte. My husband chopped up the block and enjoyed the cheese with some crackers. It was a perfect snack for us. The gourmet cheese was easy to find at the store with the specialty cheeses and was reasonably priced.  I looked online and found some recipes that could be made using the chipolte gouda, but I decided I really just enjoyed eating it plain. I'm planning on getting some more for a cheese platter for Thanksgiving! I think our family and friends will love it!

Bzz Review: Secret Outlast Deodorant Clear Gel

I signed up as a Bzz Agent with www.bzzagent.com. As an agent, they send me samples of different products to try. In return, I write reviews, share coupons and tell friends about the products.

I'm a big fan of Secret brand deodorant, so I was excited to be able to try the Outlast Clear Gel. I usually get the solid, not a clear gel so I was curious to try this. I generally stick with the solid because I'm afraid the gel will make me feel like a sticky, wet mess (and isn't avoiding that the whole reason why we wear deodorant?). I've been very happy with the Secret Outlast. I've worn it the last three days, with great results. It doesn't feel super wet or sticky, goes on smoothly, doesn't have a strong fragrance and keeps me dry and stick free. That gets 2 thumbs way up from me! It says that it will not leave marks on black. I haven't tried wearing black yet, but I did wear a dark gray dress yesterday and no marks, yay! The container says it is good for 48 hours, but I'm not good with going 48 hours without showering, so I haven't tried out that claim myself. I'm a happy customer though and will be getting this again.

Review: Kroger Gift Cards 4X Fuel Program

I signed up as a Bzz Agent with www.bzzagent.com. As an agent, they send me samples of different products to try. In return, I write reviews, share coupons and tell friends about the products.



I love Kroger's program to earn fuel points. Getting bonus points buying gift cards where I already shop is a huge perk. Last week my husband and I were going on a date. Before going to dinner we stopped at Kroger and purchased a gift card for the restaurant we were going to eat at. Might as well get 4 times the fuel points if we are going to spend the money anyway. It was great! Buying the gift cards are so easy and saving more money at the pump is awesome. Last month I was able to save 80 cents per gallon of gas I bought.

Review: Kroger Skillet Meals and Sides

I signed up as a Bzz Agent with www.bzzagent.com. As an agent, they send me samples of different products to try. In return, I write reviews, share coupons and tell friends about the products.



I chose the Chicken Florentine Skillet meal to get with my coupon. I was impressed with the selection of meals offered at Kroger. I chose this one because I thought it would be most appealing to my kids. I noticed on the packages that some of them only had two servings, this one had 3.5. When I poured the bag into my skillet there was a whole lot more spinach that what was pictured on the package so I picked out some of the huge chunks before it started cooking. I knew if I didn't kids would complain. We loved it! It tasted fresh and it only took 10 minutes to cook, love that.


I purchased the loaf of garlic bread and lite Caesar salad with my coupons to Kroger to accompany my skillet meal for dinner. Everything was great. The loaf of garlic bread cooked beautifully in 10 minutes and was just enough to feed my whole family. The salad was great. There were just a couple of pieces of wilty lettuce, we just picked them out. Kroger has some great options for dinner!

Review: TruMoo Chocolate Milk

I signed up as a Bzz Agent with www.bzzagent.com. As an agent, they send me samples of different products to try. In return, I write reviews, share coupons and tell friends about the products. 



Our family tried TruMoo Chocolate Milk as part of a Bzz Campaign with Bzzagent.com. Not only was the taste great, TruMoo is lower in sugar, which I appreciate for my kids. We definitely like our chocolate milk. I was surprised that TruMoo is not available at the store where I normally shop. I was able to find it locally though using the store locator. I recommend using the store locator before going so you'll know if your store carries it or not.

Right now TruMoo is having a promotion on their Facebook page. You can enter to win a trip to the Goosebumps Haunted Hollywood Vacation. After entering you'll get an instant Goosebumps DVD coupon. I'd be great to win!

Review: Kroger Comforts for Baby line of baby products

I signed up as a Bzz Agent with www.bzzagent.com. As an agent, they send me samples of different products to try. In return, I write reviews, share coupons and tell friends about the products.


Diapers:
I've bought the regular Comforts for Baby diapers before, do decided to use my coupon for free diapers to try the chlorine free diapers. I have to say, I'm very impressed. My daughter has worn them for a couple of days now and has not had any problems and she has very sensitive skin. The diaper fits nice and snug around her waist and legs, but the diaper is substantial enough to hold everything needed. I love the price too! I've tried other diaper brands in the past but always end up going back to my tried and true brand. I'm impressed with these and will get some more!

Baby Wipes:
I LOVE the Comforts for Baby wipes! I prefer the fragrance free wipes for my baby's sensitive skin (the ones like Huggies wipes) and they work great! Perfect, cloth like texture that do their job wonderfully. These wipes are great and at a much better price than their name brand counterparts.

Baby Wash:
This is a great body wash for baby. I especially love how gentle it is on my daughter's skin. The pump in the bottle makes it really easy to keep one hand on my baby while I get the baby wash to clean her up (she's a little wild in the tub!). She was completely clean and had that wonderful baby smell after her bath. Loved it!

Baby Lotion:
I bought the night time lotion with my coupon to use for my daughter. It has a very nice, but subtle fragrance to it, not too powerful. Generally I'm not a fan of scented baby products, but this was just enough without being too much. I'm thinking I may have to start using it too! She loves it when I rub her feet with lotion after bath and last night that is what we did with our new lotion, worked great!

Baby Bibs:
Since I have a toddler, I used my coupon to buy a toddler bib with a pocket at the bottom to catch everything she drops. I've been wanting to get one of these bibs for my toddler that now wants to do everything herself. It helped! We didn't have nearly the mess in the high chair to clean up after using the pocket bib. Loved it! I also loved that this can go in the washing machine after use. I was afraid I'd have to hand wash the bibs and wasn't looking forward to that. So excited to see on the package I can throw it in the laundry. Great bib!

Review: Kroger Yogurt Smoothie Bars

I signed up as a Bzz Agent with www.bzzagent.com. As an agent, they send me samples of different products to try. In return, I write reviews, share coupons and tell friends about the products.



I love treats, but not the calories. So I was really excited to try these yogurt smoothie bars that really are guilt free. I also love to make berry smoothies so I tried the berry smoothie variety. They taste just like my berry smoothies on a bar. I thought the bar was very convienent, I didn't have to get out my blender and all the ingredients to have a treat, especially just for one. The low calories was great. I'm trying to be more fit and watching what I eat, but I can fit 60 calories into my diet. Love it! I'm excited to try the other products in the line at Kroger!
