Big Sky Cranberry Almond Granola, 12-Ounce (Pack of 3)
My family and I have been enthusiastic consumers of this granola for years. We even switched grocery stores when our old one stopped carrying it. I'd say we went through about 2 bags a week, pretty regularly. Recently I have not been able to find my familiar package at the store--like the one pictured on Amazon. Instead the grocery store carried only the new "clusters." Disappointed by the change in structure and recipe, I went to Amazon to see if I could get the old one back. I was pleased to see it pictured--the old one, not the clusters. So I ordered SIX packages of the stuff. Instead of getting my old favorite granola, I got the darn clusters. We are hanging on to the granola we got from Amazon (it's not so bad that I need to send it back) but unless the old one returns, count us as "used to be customers." The clusters, which is what you'll get now, have far fewer nuts in favor of what seems to be less expensive fillers. Not fans of the new and "improved" clusters.

Sunbelt Bakery® Raspberry Fruit & Grain
I bought this thinking it was all natural since the front of the packaging said (bakery fresh taste "NO preservatives") I ask you... What's the point of putting that on the front when they dump every other chemical in the book in it!? They might as well put the BHT nitrates and preservatives in it...Vanillin
Titanium Oxide (color)(VERY toxic!)
Red 40 (in strawberry version)
Berry flavoring (its fake not real)
and who knows what else... So if you don't care about your health that much, then this is a great product for taste!
but for me NO!!!!...
Kellogg's Cereal Favorites Variety Pack, 1.5 to 2.8-Ounce Single Serve Cups (Pack of 60)
This is really a great way to have breakfast at your office or practically anywhere. However, they don't give you an equal distribution of the various cereals. Here is the breakdown (from the side of the box):16: 2.1oz Frosted Flakes
8 : 1.5oz Froot Loops
12: 2.8oz Rasin Bran Crunch
10: 1.5oz Apple Jacks
10: 1.5oz Corn Pops
4(!): Cocoa Rice Krispies
The main reason I got this over using regular boxes was that I wanted a variety of different cereals. However, there are way too many Frosted Flakes and far too few Rice Krispies. Kind of takes the "variety" out of variety pack.
162.1oz Frosted Flakes
10-2.8oz Raisin Bran Crunch
101.5oz Apple Jacks
10-1.5oz Corn Pops
8-2.3oz Cocoa Krispies and
6-1.5 oz Froot Loops

I take these to work along with little minature milks I pick up at the convenient store. They're quite filling and get me through to lunch just fine. And they're not too bad for you either. Considering they're all the "sugary" cereals your Mom complained about when you were a kid. In fact the one with the highest calorie count (280) is the Rasin Bran, and that's something that would actually be considered "healthy". All the rest fall into the 160-220 range.EDIT: I edited my original review today because the contents in the assortment have changed. I just got a new box and inside there were:13 Frosted Flakes
10 Apple Jacks
9 Cocoa Krispies
8 Froot Loops
8 Raisin Bran Crunch
6 Corn Pops
6 Frosted Mini Wheats
I don't know why they don't make the distribution of each type more equal (8 or 9), but they don't. I imagine some must be cheaper to make or something. Still, at least the ones with the most (Frosted Flakes and Apple Jacks) aren't my family's least liked ones and it is a little more evenly distributed than it used to be. We used to always have leftover Raisin Bran Crunch and with each new shipment, the backlog of those got bigger and bigger. At least the upped the Cocoa Krispies allotment!
Warning: boring review follows! ha ha: I was interested in buying these individual servings of cereal for my family and wondered if the cups, bowls or little boxes were cheapest per ounce. The cups hold more than the bowls and boxes(usually about twice as much based on cereal type). I mean we would have eaten 2 bowls if it was really cheaper that way.
I went to the kelloggs site to compare how much cereal was in the cups versus how much in the individual bowls or the little boxes. The bowls, cups and boxes all seem to end up costing fractions of pennies of one another ounce per ounce. I didn't add up all the kinds per variey pack and see which grand total costed pennies more or less based on ounce (I am not THAT frugal), but picked corn pops and frosted flakes to compare. The prices for all the kinds are very comparable, so if your wondering which type to buy, it doesn't really add up to much difference. I do check these things because sometimes the big "value" sizes are actually more expensive per ounce/gram than the little sizes. Those marketing people are tricky!
Therefore, if you want to have more little bowls or you pick the cups (that have more in each), you can make your choice and know you won't be spending way more either way. I skipped choosing the boxes because I liked the convenience of the bowls, but honestly the carboard boxes are probably better for the planet (but anyway, I will save some energy, water, and soap by not washing bowls!) Now all they need to do is sell a cute little dispenser for my counter and I will never go back to boxes!I ordered a case of these during the winter when my whole family was stranded inside by bad weather and the flu and again in the summer for a family vacation. Great value. Not ultimate nutrition, but kids love it.
Snikiddy Sea Salt Vege Snacks (12x4.5 OZ)
If you're trying to eat 6 servings of vegetables a day per nutritionists' recommendations, this is a great way to get one serving. I don't know about you, but some days it's a challenge to get all your vegetable requirements. This is a fun way to do it. And it's fairly low-calorie for chips. Each chip is 10 calories--or 130 calories per a serving which is 13 chips. One serving provides 35 percent of vitamin A. They're an excellent substitute for potato chips.They have a bit of a subtle sweet potato/carrot-salty taste although they're fairly low in sodium (only 6% of daily allowance.) My family loves them. They have a bubbly light texture which is fun. Love the texture. They have no trans-fat and are all natural and cholesterol free and vegan. The fat content is 11% which is okay--it's from pressed sunflower and canola oils.
I love the taste of them--especially knowing they provide a serving of vegetables. Other ingredients include dried potatoes, navy beans, rice flour, potato starch, carrot, sweet potato, maltodextrin, onion powder, garlic powder, konjac flour, citric acid and natural flavor. They are a fun sorta crescent shape. The back of the bag shows them being dipped in guacamole but I find there's enough flavor, I'm happy with them plain.
These chips would be great to serve at a party as they offer a unique taste, texture and are healthy.

Choice Organic Whole Leaf Organics English Breakfast Tea Pyramids, 15-Count, 1.05-Ounce Boxes (Pack
I ordered two, taking one set of 3 boxes home and leaving the other set at work. This tea is extremely popular in both places. Everyone seems to love the taste, and all have commented on the significant flavor improvement of this whole-leaf tea vs. other small "powder-based" teabags. Great stuff, very yummy indeed.The individually wrapped packages also look very nice on a tray when arrayed with others from which your guests may select. I've yet to detect any additional tea power generated by the pyramid-shaped bags and I would generously call the shape on the box a "dramatization," but the bags do take on the general attitude of a pyramid-shaped balloon in the cup. They also make an excellent cup of tea and fit nicely into the compost bin when I'm done with them.
Highly recommended, will definitely buy again.
