Kroger Fuel Points

If you don't already know about this great program by Kroger...believe me you will want to. Using your Kroger card to shop you will earn fuel points for every dollar to use on your next fuel purchase at designated fueling stations(note:most Kroger stores have their own fuel pumps).
For the month of December you can earn 4x the fuel points when you purchase a gift card at Kroger. So why not "kill 2 birds with 1 stone". Get that gift card to Lowes for Dad, or a gift card for sis to Michaels and get extra fuel points to use for the holiday road trip.

Mama Voxbox from Influenster

 

I was so excited when opening this box since it was my first from Influenster . Everything was packed neatly in a durable  box(that I plan to paint and recycle for use in my daughters hope chest). I received gel insoles from Dr. Scholls, microwave macaroni and cheese from Annies, soft baked bar from Belvita, and 2 different tinted BB creams from Ponds.

My kids immediately went for the Belvita soft baked, ( wait a sec, I thought this was a mama voxbox), well I got to taste a bite anyway. It was very soft and delicious. It was not dry like most bars but very moist and  full of chunks of fruit.

Annie's macaroni was next. Very comparable to other name brand microwave macaroni cups as far as ease of preparation. The taste was also very similar, nice and creamy and cheesy. The plus side, it was made from organic products.

Dr. Scholls gel shoe insoles where next. I decided to give them a good testing out on our trip to the pumpkin farm. These insoles fit perfectly into my tennis shoe. Because they had a slightly sticky surface to the bottom of the insole; there was no bunching up as I walked. Although, I imagined that the sticky would were off over time, I doubt there will be much movement to the insole because of the gel texture. Not only did the gel cushion my step it kept my feet nice and cool; key to visiting a pumpkin patch with 4 excited kids.

Last, I received Ponds BB cream. They sent 2 different shades to try; so I tried out the light shade. Because I am a busy mom of 4 kids, I loved the the fact that the cream included a moisturizer, spf and tint all in one. I used this cream in replacement of my normal foundation and used a little face powder on top of it. Loved how it went on; very smooth and light. This one is a keeper and a must to try out.

All in all, loved this first voxbox. Felt like a pampered mom; which is rare in this house. Nothing negative to say about any of these products.

TruMoo Milk

Although we choose not to participate in Halloween activities; TruMoo's Halloween campaign for their milk did not affect its great taste.
We tried the chocolate milk. The texture was very smooth and creamy. Some chocolate milks are too thick for our families taste, but TruMoo was just right. We are big milk drinkers and chocolate milk is usually a treat. All my kids enjoyed sipping their milk through their silly straws topped with whipped cream.
The only downfall, is that I had to go to several stores before I actually found this milk. If you go to Tru Moo  you can locate a store near you.
All in all, this milk is delicious and refreshing and comparable in price to other name brand milks.

Old El Paso

We absolutely love Mexican food around here; so I was more than excited to try Old El Paso's stand and stuff flour tortillas and their cooking sauces. I took some grilled chicken(on the outdoor grill is best) and mixed in a package of Old El Paso cooking sauce. We then paired this with some lettuce,  tomato and cheese and put them in the stand and stuff flour tortillas. This dinner was so easy to make; after grilling the chicken all I had to do was add the cooking sauce(all the Mexican spices and flavorings are already in there). The stand and stuff shells were much simpler to fill and eat than an ordinary flat tortilla. Even my boys had no problem and enjoyed putting there own dinner together. Very delicious, I only wish I would have made more!
These products are very high quality in taste...typical of  Old El Paso brand. They are easy to use and convenient on those nights when you need to make a meal quickly. They are affordable and can be found in any local grocery store.
We plan to definitely try these again....but this time I will get more!

Kroger Lunchbox Heroes

We definitely like to snack in our family with six. With 4 hungry children, 3 of them being boys, we definitely go through a lot of snacks. I like to find snacks that are inexpensive and convenient for them to grab for themselves; especially when we are on the go.

 

We had an opportunity to sample a few of these easy and affordable snacks from our  local Kroger store

.  

Kroger fruit snacks-  This was not our first time trying the Kroger brand of fruit snacks; so we weren't surprised . In my opinion these are not a high quality brand of fruit snacks. Although they are a little chewier and not as full of flavor as some name brand snacks; they are a great alternative if you are trying to save some money. I love the fact that they are a smaller package than most(less intake of sugar), but some might not feel the same way as I do.

 

Kroger peanut butter filled pretzels- I am not going to beat around the bush about these....they were disgusting. Everyone in my family felt they were too dry and crumbly and they tasted stale, and frankly were just plain...gross.  Definitely not a winner for our taste buds.

 

Kroger chewy granola bars - Another product we are familiar with and actually purchase quite often in this family. They are easy for us to take into the car, to appointments, soccer games etc. They are nice and chewy and chocolate chip is our family favorite. Can't go wrong with these.

 

Kroger double filled golden cookies- This product had a split opinion in my house. I think kids would eat any thing that has to do with the word cookie. So, you probably have guessed who didn't like it...yep....mom. If mom doesn't like it, it probably won't be bought again. These are a cheaper alternative to name brand cookies, but in my opinion, you get what you pay for, they were cheap tasting.

 

Kroger extreme fusion waters -  These were great. They were just the right size and definitely were a big hit with all 4 of my kids. Very comparable in taste to name brand drink pouches.

Silk Fruit and Creamy

We are SO a yogurt loving family...we have probably tried every yogurt out there whether it is by the carton, drinkable, frozen or in a tube...and we have probably tried every brand as well.
I and my kids loved this Silk fruit and creamy yogurt. It had a smooth silky texture with not too chunky amounts of fruit in it. I loved the fact that it was made from soy milk( this provided extra protein needed for my vegetarian daughter).We tried the blueberry, peach and berry flavor. My favorite was the blueberry but my daughter adored the peach.
So good and so delicious and would definitely purchase again.
