Luna Bars, 1.69-Ounce Bars

Clifbar Luna Bar - 15 Pack Chocolate Dipped Coconut, One SizeWe discovered Luna Bars at a grocery store recently when they were on sale for a dollar apiece. We bought one of each kind to see which ones we like best. We figured for that price how could we go wrong. Well after trying all of them, my wife has weighed in...

HER FAVORITE: Chocolate Pecan Pie.

She loves Chocolate. She lives on Chocolate. And since we're on a diet similar to Body for Life and has a hard time stomaching the whey-filled protein bars, these are a welcome treat. They aren't overloaded with protein, but for the calories are extremely comparable to the leading protein bars (in a calorie-protein ratio comparison). Our only complain with the bars is that they're a little high in fat, especially saturated. Nevertheless, they are much, much better than most other treats out there.

Now, where to buy? Well Amazon of course. It is great. Amazon is the same price as local stores when they are on sale except Amazon provides free shipping and no tax (not to mention no driving to the grocery store or healthfood store) so they actually end up being cheaper on here everyday than elsewhere on sale. We always buy all of our drinks and bars on Amazon. A word of caution though, be careful which Amazon vender you buy from. Vitamin Shoppe is usually the cheapest but sometimes direct from Amazon is comparable. The other venders tend to be more expensive. Hope this helps.

I admit I have somewhat of a sweet tooth, but since I am lactose intolerant there aren't many candy bars I can eat. I am also into healthy food so the Luna Bars are a good compromise. Don't let the fact you're a guy stop youthese are marketed towards women (because of the soy craze), there's nothing here that can harm you.

The Dulce flavor is among my favorite flavor (along with Nutz/Pecan and Dreams), having a sort of caramel/"rice crispy treat" taste. Only problem is that I like this flavor so much I tend to eat too many, and they have alot of calories. So don't eat too many unless you are a very active person.

The Clif line are a great help to those of us with health issues, and I commend them for their wonderful products.

For anyone who has not tried these, you won't believe how good they taste. I started eating soy after being diagnosed with colitis 3 years ago. Since then, I've been symptom and medicine free (by eating soy). This bar is a great way to get your soy! It's like eating a candy bar for a snack! Not gritty, or nasty tasting like some of the other bars I've tried. The S'mores flavor is also really good.

I had bariatric surgery. Afterwards, I tried numerous protein bars--they all tasted very bad. I happened upon Luna bars--I saw they were designed for women-and read the contents. They contained more vitamins and minerals than any of the higher priced protein bars, even the ones the bariatric department at the local hospital was pushing. I like most of the flavors--they aren't real sweet, they aren't dry, and there is no after taste. I've lost over 170 lbs and I know it wouldn't have been possible without the Luna bars. They gave me energy, took care of my sweet tooth, and are very convenient. I still took regular multi-vitamins--they don't replace those, just supplement what you are already taking.

After ordering windsor pilates they recomend eating energy bars as a snack with no more than 150 calories & 3 grams of fat; Luna for woman was closest to what was recommended having 170-180 calories & under 3 grams of fat. They taste good too. I highly suggest these as a fixer until your next meal.

Diapers Chlor Free Size 4 30 Ct (4 Per Box) by Earth's Best

Diapers Chlor Free Size 4 30 Ct by Earth's BestI assumed "4 per box" at the price I normally pay for 4 30-ct packages of diapers meant I would get 4 packages of diapers...not ONE! Did I really just pay $30 for 30 diapers? I am completely horrified to be ripped off like this. This is terrible.

I use earths best diapers for both of my children, 2 yrs and 6 mths. They are amazing, they have never had diaper rash. However, I cannot believe how much they are being sold for on amazon. What a rip off!

Weetabix Cereal 24 Pk

Weetabix Cereal 24 PkMy Son loves this stuff. I serve it with whole milk and organic demera sugar. Made from wheat and barley I am confident that it is a healthy breakfast lunch and dinner. He can feed himself if he is hungry. Hide the sugar and only leave out enough. He ate the better part of a box in one sitting and for a short period it was the base of his food pyramid. Until the cupboard was bare.

This stuff is hard to find. When we saw some in the local supermarket we bought it all but they would not restock it. Amazon cancelled my order due to availability too. I will not pay ten bucks for one box of cereal so it is too good for me.

Good news it is made in the United States too and distributed through Barbara's the Puffin Cereal people. I ordered a case but you may be able to find Weetabix in the organic food isle next to the Puffins.

Weetabix Whole Grain Cereal

excellent source of energy.It is so tasty and will help you crave for it when you are really hungry . It can be used for breakfast or has a healthy snack with fat free milk. I highly recommend this to anyone who loves healthy cereal and this is one of a kind

A healthy cereal that is made in Britain. It's on the same line a shredded wheat, but a finer cereal, that is great with honey or fresh fruit.

Decent price in the USA, too

My kid likes this; and beats the heck out of Frosted Flakes for nutrition.

Honey Bunches of Oats Just Bunches! Honey Roasted Cereal, 17-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 4)

Honey Bunches of Oats Just Bunches! Honey Roasted Cereal, 17-Ounce BoxesAfter reading the 1 star rating of the previous reviewer, which had nothing to do with the product itself but more so an issue with the vendor, I had to review it myself. If you are a fan of the "bunches" clusters in honey bunches of oats, this is the cereal for you. It is nice and crunchy and does not get soggy in milk very quickly. It is almost granola-like, but better in my opinion. 5 Stars!

It's lightly sweet, stays crunchy in milk, and keeps my stomach happy until lunch. I LOVE this cereal, and I'm thrilled I can get it shipped to me with Prime since my local grocer stopped carrying it.

Ok... My husband is the cutest man alive. I told him how much i love the bunches in the Honey Bunches of Oats cereal and he gave these to me for my birthday. I got a few chuckles from friends but everyone ended up eating them all! (they are 4 small boxes and they go FAST!)

Dorset Cereals Muesli, Super Cranberry, Cherry and Almond, 11.46-Ounce (Pack of 5)

Dorset Cereals Muesli, Super Cranberry, Cherry and Almond, 11.46-OunceI have purchased these cereals from import stores and enjoyed them very much. It is a much better deal via amazon.

Do note, however that the individual packs in the 5-packs are mallet than normal retail, but the overall cost per ounce is still an improvement.

A tasty and healthy combination of whole grain, dried fruit, seeds and nuts. I mix it with plain yogurt and let it sit overnight to make a great lowfat, healthy, low-sugar treat.

This is a very good muesli that is my wife's favorite breakfast or snack. Generous portions of cranberry and cherry. Would be five stars if it was cheaper. But hard to find except on Amazon and usually more expensive elsewhere.

The cereal in one of the boxes was a bit stale---but the others have been fine. Given the price difference between what it would cost to get these at Whole Foods, it is not a big deal. I certainly prefer getting this in bulk and having it delivered. This is my favorite cereal. Wish the boxes were bigger!

Want Dorset Cereals Muesli, Super Cranberry, Cherry and Almond, 11.46-Ounce (Pack of 5) Discount?

I love muesli, this is not a bad muesli, but the name is completely misleading. It doesn't taste like cranberries, cherries, or almonds because it doesn't contain a significant amount of any of those things! This is actually a raisin muesli with sunflower seeds and wheat flakes.

Nearly all of the fruit in this cereal are various types of raisins (regular raisins, sultana raisins, and flame raisins), totaling a full 34% of the entire cereal. According to the ingredients they also add some of sugar/cranberries mixture, almond flakes, and a speck of freeze dried cherries. But there aren't enough of any of those things for you to really taste them. Mostly you just taste all raisin. (Why? Because raisins are cheap and the things in the title are expensive.)

An ok muesli, but the name is BS.

Nature's Path Organic Flax Plus Pumpkin Granola Cereal, 11.5-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 6)

Nature's Path Organic Flax Plus Pumpkin Granola Cereal, 11.5-Ounce Boxesthis is a very delicious cereal. it was all the things they said it was, the two issues about it for me is that calorie/fat content. 260 cal./10 grams of fat per serving seems a bit high, even for a granola based cereal. and the next problem is the flaxseed, they didn't grind them. like many of you know, when you don't grind flaxseed, it will pass strait through your digestive system. now at first i thought, "well im eating the cereal, a good chewing should do the job just fine", but thats not the case. not to be gross, but i saw flaxseed in my stool, the seeds in whole. you probably only effectively breaking down about 2/5 of the seeds. so you're obviously not getting nearly as much nutritional value from it compared to if they would just pre-grind it.

but other than that its a great cereal, the taste is an unmistakable 10, nice fiber content and organic. i will still buy in the future, just not as often as i would've liked though

This cereal is so good. Where I live, I can't find it for less than $5 a box. On subscribe & save, it's about $3 a box. Great deal, and way better than other cereals that claim to be "healthy."

I didn't think I would like this. But bought it anyway as an effort to eat better this year. I tasted it out of the box and was pleasantly surprised. It's good on its own, and with yogart & fresh fruit. Nice to have great taste with the good for you. Yeah pumkin flax granola!

I got my first box of this cereal at Target. it was on sale, 3 dollars and 4 cents. I'm kind of a health food freak, I saw "flax plus" and the USDA organic symbol and tossed it in the cart along with my recycled toilet paper and organic zBars.

Did I know I was carrying around a slice of heaven? Had I known, I would have bought all the boxes in my local Target. But I didn't find this out until the next morning.

Every morning I slid out of bed at 6 am and go get my breakfast. Warm oatmeal with bananas usually perks me up a bit, but that day I decided to try my new cereal. I added vanilla almond milk and sliced banana. I took one bite and I danced. It was so good. It is so good. I eat handfuls of it and then cry for the beauty of the moment and the taste of the cereal. it's just so good! How do they do it? It's just so good. Now in the mornings I jump out of bed and fly down the stairs so I can eat Organic Flax Plus Granola. It's just that good.

Are you an on-the-fencer, unsure if you want to bound through the lush meadow that is this granola? Do it. You won't regret it.

It makes me dance.

Freedom Foods Corn Flakes, 375 g Net Boxes (Pack of 5)

Freedom Foods Corn Flakes, 375 g Net BoxesPlease note: These are not your generic store brand cornflakes. They are high in fiber (from psyllium) and low in salt for those who care. With only a "hint of golden syrup" from cane sugar, the flavor may seem bland to many people, but I find it to be a nice departure from the overly sweet and/or high sodium cereals on the market. Nutritional breakdown for 1 cup (50 grams!note most servings are 30g) calories: 190, 2g of fat; sodium: 3%! dietary fiber 20% (5g) protein 3g; iron 15%. These are sturdy little flakes, like tiny little clam shells and hold up well in liquid. I would definitely recommend and for those who want to spice it upadd some bananas/dried fruits and yogurt or other dairy/non-dairy beveragegreat start to the day!

Starbucks House Blend K-Cup Portion Pack for Keurig Brewers

Starbucks House Blend, K-Cup Portion Pack for Keurig K-Cup Brewers, 10-CountI just found Starbucks Kcups in Bed/Bath/Beyond (also in Target) and of course I had to grab them on the spot! I tried the House Blend and, unlike other Starbucks flavors, this is very smooth and not at all bitter or "burnt" like the Pike Place blend. This flavor didn't require nearly as much sweetening and, since it isn't overly strong, it's perfect for use any time of day. I bought a box of 16 for $11.99 ($14.99 less the typical Bed/Bath/Beyond 20% discount). I can't even begin to comprehend Amazon's pricing on this item.....or most other Kcups for that matter. These kcups will be even more readily available nationwide than Dunkin' Donuts kcups so why the ridiculous pricing, Amazon??!! Starbucks kcups (10-count) are also available in Von's (Safeway) supermarkets.

Here's the deal with K Cups: they will always taste slightly different than regular brewed coffee. The reason is with brewed coffee, you can control the strength of the brew, both with how you grind your beans and your water-to-coffee ratio. With K Cups, the only control you have is how large or small a cup you choose to brew. Larger obviously is weaker, smaller is stronger.

I have these K cups. They are better than many of the others I have tried. Again, it won't taste EXACTLY like a cup of Starbucks brewed coffee, but is pretty close. I definitely recommend this over many others.

Now, if we could just find them cheaper!

It is very strong, a little bitter, and tastes just like regular starbucks coffee so if you like that then you will like this. It is definitely not medium by regular standards. It is very bold. I had a pumpkin creamer which I thought was too strong but I made this coffee using the 9 ounce setting and it tasted great with the pumpkin creamer. I won't buy it again because nobody else cared for it at my house and it is a little too bitter for me.

Lucini Italia Cherry Balsamic & Rosemary Vinaigrette

Lucini Italia Cherry Balsamic & Rosemary VinaigretteBuy more than one, you will love it. Just the right amount of cherry flavor and rosemary. The balsamic is also mild and not vinegary.

Makes a great marinade for tuna also.

Absolutely incredible! This balsamic is light and airy with delectable flavors that all shine through wonderfully. The cherry aromas add a depth to the vinaigrette that is wonderful and not sugary sweet while the rosemary rounds out the entire palette. I love love love this dressing.

My favorite salad with it?

Spinach

Crumbles of herbed goat cheese

Fresh, sliced strawberries

A swirl of the dressing

It's wonderful! You can also spinkle toasted almonds or walnuts over it if you're a nut person, I personally like mine without.

Overview: buy this now.

Back To Nature Blueberry Walnut Granola to Go ( 6x7.5 OZ) ( Value Bulk Multi-pack)

Back To Nature Blueberry Walnut Granola to Go 7.5 OZI bought the Blueberry Walnut along with the Honey Almond. Both are good, and shipping was fast; those are what the two stars are for. The others are empty because this was advertised as a pack of 30, and in reality it is a pack of 6! I contacted the seller, and they defended themselves stating that there are indeed 30 pouches. 30 1.5 oz packages that is, not 30 packs of 5, which they seem to be advertising in their title.

"If it seems too good to be true, it probably is." Just makes me sick that I paid so much for these.
