Kroger The Truly Awesome homestyle chocolate chip cookies review


I belong to a site called BZZAGENT. I receive products to review. This weekend I received a package with two boxes of Kroger The Truly Awesome Home-style Chocolate Chip Cookie. I'm not really a chocolate chip fan unless they come straight out of the oven. Prepackaged cookies are just so-so to me. I was pleasantly surprised to try these. 

The first box we ate straight out of the box. They are crispy but soft. I am happy to say they are good for a cookie that comes out of a box but they are also good for just a cookie even compared to homemade. 

The second box we followed one of the directions on the back of the box. It suggests that you microwave for a few seconds. Let me tell you. 20 seconds in our microwave turned these already good cookies into a heavenly treat. It was just like a cookie straight out of the oven. Even the chocolate chips were melty. A tall glass of milk; these microwaved warmed cookies, and a comfy couch will make your day. 


My cookies came from Kroger, but they also come under the package names of Fred Meyer and Ralph's Stores (all of which are Kroger family stores). The box is a little plan- Blue and white with a picture of the cookie. I probably would have bypassed these if I was in the store and hadn't tried them myself.


If you get a chance, look for this box of deliciousness at your local Kroger, Fred Meyer, or Ralph's stores and give them a try. I really think you'll enjoy them as much as we did.

Finding style with Style Find


With the Christmas shopping season getting started I wanted to share a site I found through Bzzagent.com 


StyleFind is a site that lets you look for the things you love (shoes!) Ok more than shoes. Any kind of fashion  you are looking for. Can't afford that high dollar purse you've had your eye on? Well Style Find will help you find it or something close to it and help you find the best price for it. It's like having your very own personal shopper. 
With a variety of categories, you can shop by brand, item, trend, or even the Editor's pick. And yes, there are shoes...every woman's necessity.  

And my favorite feature:
Deals!!!
The site finds deals for members (which it's free to register on the site). They put together some great finds matched up with deals. But the icing on the cake is the tab called COUPONS!!! That's right. They put their coupons right on the site so you can have StyleFind actually find the piece you're looking for AND with a click or two you have your coupons for additional savings just one click away! 

I did notice that the higher priced items seem to appear first and foremost but you can easily sort by price and adjust to your price range. It's easy and once you find what you're looking for, you simply click  and it sends you straight to the retailer's site. 

Overall, I think it's a helpful site that takes some of the legwork out of finding those fashion items you're looking for. As for being frugal? It depends on the combination of store deal, coupons, and best price found by the site. It has the possibilities of saving time, gas, money, and frustration of finding that perfect little black dress and accessories to go along with it.
