[Silk]

I dont care that much but where is the $1 coupon from? Websaver kelloggs portal?

Yes, I think so -- when there was a promo of Kellogg's coupons a while back

The organics Teddy bear honey Graham's & also the chocolate ones taste great. Organics animal crackers are also a favorite of my son's. I bought the simply food all in one pancake mix which was bland. Not good. Not much taste. The Walmart brand is actually really good and the big bulk bag from Costco is the best all in one pancake mix if anyone is interested . Simply food orange juice is just as good as minute maid. Simply food vegetable crackers are pretty close to the veggie thins. I don't their line of pop. I'm not sure the ones that we tried but they were both not the greatest so I've just never bought them since lol. Our favorite store brand pops are extra foods.

The shoppers brand of rice krispies treats are just as good as the name brand ones. Kids love these in their lunches. (got the 36 pack boxes for $1) stocked up lol.

Just tried the Everyday Market canned peaches, and I think they managed to jam in more peaches (so less juice) than the Del Monte brand. The can even has a handy lid tab to open it without a can opener. The peaches were perfect. Will buy again.

i second the simply food frozen corn! and i like their chicken strips too- all white meat.

as far as quo, i wish i could say i loved it. i got a few quo items at the post-xmas redemption and im not too thrilled.

the life brand diapers seem to be alright, we've actually never had a blow out with them but have had them with pampers and especially huggies. dd seems to have a reaction to life brand wipes though.

oh yeah, and i really like the life brand epsom salts.

oh yeah and the nativa tortilla chips...the multigrain ones...wow!!!

Looove the epsom salts! Especially the eucalyptus ones when I'm sick! LoVE! Thanks! I totally forgot to add them to mt list for this weekend

I tried the Quo makeup brushes and was very unhappy. They shed like a black dog in spring...right off the start. For a cheap brush I would stick to Annabelle...ETA: or Ecotools, SDM carries both

Ditto. I just stick to my body shop brushes now. They're great and affordable on days when they do their 50% off promos etc.

I really like the Life brand toilet paper -- doesn't have the "paper dust" of Royale. Tissues are usually on sale for an unbeatable price, too -- and I like them better than Royale. Paper towels and garbage bags are good as well -- go on sale for less than name brand, and I like them better. Life brand baby laundry detergent is equivalent to Purex.

I don't like the Simply Food chicken strips. The frozen dinners, though, have real chunks of meat and vegetables (way better than Michelinas, and they look appetizing for frozen dinners. I second the idea that the white sugar is too coarse.

I know it's not a store brand, but I really like the Saputo shredded cheese SDM sells. It goes on sale often, and the shreds are substantial -- not like Kraft where half the bag is cheese powder!

I do like the big tubs of diaper rash cream. For $2.99 on sale, you get much more in the tub than you do in the tube, and it works as well as name brand.

Life brand kids' toothbrushes are good -- the bristles are much softer than Colgate kids' toothbrushes. I also like the Life Sunthera sunscreen.

Not too impressed with all of the Life brand candy. I'll particularly avoid the Life brand chocolate bunnies this Easter -- they were made of the cheapest, worst kind of chocolate. Some of the chocolate covered caramels from Life are good, but I don't like the jujubes or jelly beans.

Re; Life brand candies. I had the toffee once and holy smokes it was so much sticker than regular toffee. Tasted good but my teeth weren't happy

Ooo yay! Thank you! I got some printed if only i had looked yesterday before my shopping trip to wm... Oh well.

anyways, back on topic, i also enjoyed some of the life brand candy bags, especially the fuzzy peaches and the sour gummy worms good cheap prices! Plus the bag is resealable.

I love SF rippled chips! I didnt realize that they are so popular with SDM fans!
Although I wasn't too fond of the roasted sunflower seeds. It's way too salty!

[padfoot]

Bumping for redemption weekend!

Ive also been seeing good comments about the simply food pure maple syrup.

[nicolthepickle]

dh always requests ripple chips and I think the Simply Food ripple chips are comparable/better than high end brands like Ruffles. They are cooked with sunflower oil so they have a slightly nutty taste (and this is a premium oil as far as chips are concerned.) Plus the 200g bag goes on sale for $.99. So, great product, great price.

Gosh is actually a Danish brand not an SDM brand, just an SDM exclusive.

My Dh used to work for a chip company (not Ruffles) and they made their own brand of chips +store brands, using different flavour mixes/recipes. So SDM chips could very well be made by Ruffles.

I like the cheese a lot, and the sodium level is prett good. Ditto for the kidney beans.

Oh my gosh reading this thread has made me realise how many food products from SDM we buy and love. Way too many to list them all without forgetting a few but here I go:

EM eggs
SF cheesecake
SF chips
SF prime rib burgers - oh my gosh had these today, amazing
SF french fries
SF pre-popped popcorn
SF cheese sammich crackers
SF arrowroot cookies AKA "baby" cookies
SF chocolate chips for baking
SF corn cans
And thats all I can think of for now but I know there is definitely more.

LB paper towel
LB Lubricant for bedroom fun (Its really cheap too!!! $6.49)
