Thought it might be fun to get some recommendations for new grocery items to add to my shopping list. Spices, grab n go items, anything really.

I’ll add a couple of my new faves below!

I got an email for Skinny Me Belgian chocolates. Free "trial" paying shipping only. It is good, tastes like expensive chocolate. . I decided not to order any more because it is expensive. Then I get charged $35 on my debit card for a membership. The membership doesn't get you anything but a chance to buy more expensive chocolate. When I called the company, the young woman said that they never use the word "Free" in their advertisements so I guess "Free Trial" doesn't qualify. She said that I didn't cancel within the required time frame so I was charged for the membership. I insisted that she cancel the membership and kept telling her I wasn't going to pay the charge. Basically I think I was paying for the chocolates I received for shipping only. She said I wouldn't have to return the product if I wanted to pay the $35 less a 30% discount. I was aware that they had a 30% off deal going on anyway so I told her that I was not interested.

Because there was nothing that qualified this as a "membership", I called my bank and refuted the charge. I do not intend to return the product. This is a scam that I have gotten sucked into before. You buy a product online and then find out that you are on the hook for a regular shipment which is charged automatically to your card. I was included in a class action suit against one company that did this and got a small sum out of it.

"Garden Lites Veggies Made Great, Mushroom and 3 Cheese Egg White Frittata". Found at Walmart. 6 individually wrapped, 45 seconds in the micro. Great for Soft Food Diet. Actually tastes great.

There were different flavors but I chose this one because I thought it didn't have potatoes as most quick breakfast items do. Read the verbiage on the box and it does have potatoes but they are mixed with cauliflower and kale and have to be very fine because none of these are obvious.

Found these this morning online while trying to find tortilla options. Ordered 4 packs of them and am cautiously optimistic!

Ok if those don't work out, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND trying these ??

I’ve had the bottom 2 and yes they are good, they get stale fast so store them well! The crunchy ones look so good, did you find them in a regular grocery store @GreenTealael ?

Omggggg 15 cals per tortilla??! Please tell me how they taste once you get them! These would be a game changer!

Im an Aldi-holic but I just recently started shopping at Trader Joes and I'm loving it. Not sure what took me so long when its only 25 minutes away from my house. Anyways, their guac is one of my favorite items. It's seriously addicting and you don't even taste the yogurt in it, and I hate yogurt.

Yum! I love the La Banderita Carb Counters!

I get these at my local grocery store but I think you can find them at walmart. If you're not a sweets person I think these banana bites are great to satisfy that small craving. My sweet tooth wakes up at night when Im about to go to bed so usually one bite will do the trick lol

The ones I posted I found online. They look to be a small company out of California. They also have a delicious looking selection of regular tortillas. It looks like they just recently started selling the 1 Carb Tortillas and they make them in batches, as my order was actually a pre-order for them that will be filled on 9/17.

Can someone start an Aldi’s thread? I’m on Instacart and I keep flipping back here to see what to order! ?

Boy, that will be a very depressing thread for a German...

I just tried siggi's almond butter and vanilla skyr (Icelandic yogurt) and it is delicious! Very filling. Add a small salad and you have lunch. It is 19grams of protein! 260 calories.

They also have mixed berry with almond butter which does not appeal to me, and Apple & Cinnamon, which does, but it was not in my local grocery store.

Honestly I really just want the Bread ? other than that cheese

I do feel like it would be helpful to have a list of best items to get per place like Trader joe's/Aldi/Lidl/Kroger/Wegmans/Whole foods/Monoprix/Carrefour/Condis/etc
