I received my free coupons from the Private selection line at Kroger which I received from Bzzagent.com to try and review. I purchased the BBQ Chicken Pizza, the Quiche, and the Vanilla Creme Puffs. I'm glad I received free coupons because at my local Kroger, they were quite high for the amount of each item with the exception of the creme puffs. I cooked the pizza first. I use a baking stone when i cook pizza and even with the backing stone the thin crust pizza was crisp on the edges but tender in the middle. (This is a good thing!) The smell was heavenly let me add. It had great flavor. A fresh taste and the onions were crisp; just like fresh cut onions. Overall, the pizza was good and for someone not needing to feed a large group in's a nice pizza for one or two.
Next, we tried the quiche. It's one of our favorite dishes. They looked great. The filling had a nice taste but you tell it was a frozen food item. Not quite the level of frozen potatoes but you could still tell it was from frozen. Our biggest objection was the crust. It was a little too "bready" for our taste. We prefer a crisp type crust for quiche. But the filling was acceptable and if you like a more bready than crisp shell you may be happy with these.
The creme puffs were good. The only objection to these is that they really aren't a quick, convenient food. You have to let them sit in the refrigerator for 2 hours before serving so I wouldn't suggest these for having on hand in case someone drops by (unless you have a very talkative guest who's in no hurry). They are however, good in taste and texture.
Overall, we had a good experience with the Private Selection Line but I don't know that we will necessarily revisit these goodies in the future (will with the except of the pizza since my guys really loved it). We will however, be on the lookout for really good coupons or great sales.
