Hill's Science Diet Ideal Balance Dog Food

For this campaign I got a free 4lb bag of Hill's Science Diet Ideal Balance Dog Food! I will NEVER turn down free dog food because it can get to be an expensive proposition to take care of a dog!
My dog used to be on Science Diet because he is allergic to all beef and pork products and most of their foods have chicken, lamb, and rice. However, it was so expensive I finally found another dog food that doesn't include beef or pork in its ingredients. Now he is eating purina little bites, and he LOVES them!
I do think it is good that this food has a lot of natural ingredients and is good for your dog, but I don't think it is worth the price. Also, if you shop with coupons, Science Diet rarely/if ever has coupons for its products!

Kroger's Private Selection Appetizer,Pizza, and Dessert!

My latest product test is a product that is exclusive to the Kroger family of stores. I got an appetizer, a pizza, and a dessert for FREE!!!
 I will start with the appetizer because generally you eat that first! :-) I wasn't really pleased with the selection of the appetizers. They all seemed like fancy food that would taste nasty. I finally settled on spinach and artichoke and eggplant and tomato tortilla cups. (Sounds appetizing,huh!) I cooked them in the oven for the exact time that was on the box. When I got them out the tops looked burnt,but the bottoms were still soft and doughy. I tried one of the eggplant ones because it looked the most tasty. IT WAS NOT! It was gooey and didn't really have much taste at all. It was pretty bland. Needless to say I only ate 1!
  Now on to the PIZZA!!! When I got the pizza out of the box all of the pearlini mozzarella cheese was in the center of the pizza. So, you know how when you get a frozen pizza out and all the pepperonis are all on one side, generally you can move them around to where you want them. Well, those cheese balls were NOT moving! So, I just stuck it in the oven the way it was. It tasted really good! (Other than all the cheese was in one place) However, I made the mistake of eating it while I was playing Modern Warfare 3. I learned the hard way that when the pizza starts to cool it doesn't taste nearly as good!!! So, i zapped it in the microwave and it was right back to delicious!
  And now for my favorite part!!!!!!!!!!! DESSERT!!! My kroger only had 2 choices for dessert, so I picked the apple crisp. SO DELICIOUS! I did it in the microwave instead of the oven. As with the rest of these, the time was not correct! When I got it out after 65 seconds it was still cold in the center so I stuck it back in for 20 seconds and it was perfect! It tasted just like home made!!!!
  I am not sure I would pay full price for any of these items, seeing as the appetizer was NOT appetizing, and I can get a large pizza for $2 cheaper at Little Ceasars, and I can make apple crisp at home! However, if I was going to buy one of them it would be the apple crisp just because it is so convenient to have it already made and you just have to zap it!

Meijer Gallery Wrapped Canvas Print

This product test was to order an 11x14 gallery wrapped canvas print from Meijer photo. They gave me a coupon for a FREE one! That is a $40 value!!!
When I went to the store the first time, I had taken the one photo that I had wanted to use, but there wasn't enough room at the top of the photo to wrap around the canvas so it cut everyone's heads off. I also wasn't really pleased with the editing options on the kiosk. So, I went back home to pick a different photo and I edited the photo that I wanted to use before I went back to the store.
I must admit to being a little nervous that the 2,000 free prints would already be gone by the time I picked mine up! However, I went tonight and it worked! I got a free print! Many people said they used theirs for gifts, but I decided to get something for myself!! :-)
I absolutely love it! It looks great and the quality is really good! It would make a great gift, but I am not sure I would want to spend $40 on it. Right now they are 30% off and I would probably spend that for one.
Overall I am very pleased with the product!

Krogers Truly Awesome Homestyle Chocolate Chip Cookies - Part 2

I finally found the cookies! I went to Kroger yesterday and they only had 2 boxes left! I was so excited to finally get to try them!
They were pretty good, but I wouldn't say they taste like homemade! I like soft,gooey chocolate chip cookies and these are crispy. They aren't hard,necessarily, but crispier than I like.
Thankfully they did have a lot of chocolate chips! That was their one saving grace! Well, maybe that and the fact that they are larger than many other brands of boxed chocolate chip cookies.
I don't know that I would pay 2.50 for them,however. I would prefer homemade cookies!
