These bars have an excellent taste and ingredient list. They are quite light, but pack enough protein to keep you full. They are also not too sweet, do not taste artificial and importantly, have 'natural' flavours (i.e. not cookie dough, birthday cake, etc.) They resemble a rice crispy bar as they are made with soy crisps, which give them a distinct flavour, but not one that is overpowering or unpleasant (unless you dislike even a mild soy taste). I also love how affordable the bars are. Given their superior nutritional values and ingredients, I am always so happy to see they are often less than half the price of other bars. -

Taste wise, this food seems to be a winner as my cat goes crazy for this food (as well as all Fancy Feast flavours). I also like the convenient size; it is definitely one serving so I don't have to worry about over or under feeding my cat and she always seems satisfied when she finishes a can. As far as convenience, there is an easy to open tab and the food comes out of the can easily so you don't really get any on your hands.
Quality wise, this food doesn't do so well. There are a few questionable ingredients, by products included (and near the top of the ingredient list) that I don't feel great about when feeding this to my cat. This is a product I pick up if I run out of food and can't make it to a store that sells preferred brands.

There's something really tasty about smarties mixed in with ice cream! You can easily taste the smarties in the ice cream, giving it an even richer and yummier taste! And there are lots of smarties blended throughout, which is nice as many ice creams with mixes don't contain much. Definitely a good value as well. This remains one of my favourite lower-cost ice creams from the grocery store! -

I love this unique flavour! These chips do have a kick of spicy flavour, but not overwhelmingly so and is balanced well with a subtle blue cheese flavour. I love the thickness of these chips and the liberal use of seasoning.
One more general note, resident's Choice chips are amongst my favourite brands. The quality is excellent, especially for the cost. I also love that they frequently introduce new, unique flavours.

Tru-Nut Powdered Peanut Butter

I love this product! This product is the result of oil being pressed out of peanuts when/after (not sure) being roasted. This eliminates the fat and so two tablespoons is around 45 calories and less than 4 grams of fat, as opposed to peanut butter which is around 180-190 calories for two tablespoons and 9+ grams of fat. Thus, this product is definitely for those who have weight/diet goals. It is also a popular product amongst fitness enthusiasts.
The texture is definitely different from peanut butter because it lacks the creaminess that the oil in peanuts provide. However, it is tasty and very versatile. I use it as a spread (like peanut butter) as well as in smoothies and baking. It's a very versatile and innovative product. This particular brand is not as sweet as other peanut flour products, but I personally like this because it provides flavour and I can sweeten it if I choose in other ways.

David's Tea lip butters are a pretty good product. The lip butter is smooth and creamy and the cherry blossom scent is strong, but not overwhelming (akin to the other scents). The only downside is the effectiveness - I don't find this lip butter very moisturizing. It feels like the product glides over my lips but does not make them feel overly nourished or soft and because of this, it does not stay on my lips very long either. I feel like I have to apply it more frequently than other lip butters. Given this downside I find the cost a bit more than what the product is worth. I love the concept but just wish more effort was put into its effectiveness. -
Kirkland Breakfast Blend K-cups
This is a great tasting coffee for an excellent price. The quality is good - it is a smooth coffee that does not taste burnt or bitter and also tastes very fresh. The quality of the pods are great as well. Definitely a great buy and money saver... +
This is a great tasting coffee for an excellent price. The quality is good - it is a smooth coffee that does not taste burnt or bitter and also tastes very fresh. The quality of the pods are great as well. Definitely a great buy and money saver as coffee pods can be quite costly depending upon the brand. -

I absolutely LOVE protein bars, they are my go-to food when I need a meal replacement or a snack to hold me over for awhile. I bought these because I love Quest bars but find them VERY costly. These bars definitely hold up quality wise to other Kirkland products. They are really tasty (I love the cookie dough ones best!), soft and have nutritional values similar if not better than most similar bars (Victory, One, Quest). And they are such an excellent price, the bars are definitely worth more than the cost! Two boxes of 20 (so 40 bars) cost about $60, whilst Quest bars cost around $45 for 12! I will definitely switch to these bars from now on and I really hope that Kirkland comes out with new flavours. -

This is an excellent energy bar! it is a tad on the sugary side (many grams of sugar and carbs) but it is very tasty. The raspberry and chocolate taste are distinct and go together very well. I like that the chocolate flavour comes from chips throughout the bar. it is a chewy bar, so it is various types of oats (I think) binded together with rice syrup - not a shell coated energy bar. This makes it taste different than bars that are meant to resemble a chocolate bar, and I personally find this appealing. These bars are a tad more expensive than other lower-priced energy/snack bars - they are about $1.99 per bar. But the quality difference is easy to identify and so it is definitely worth it. They are also a heavier, more filling bar (200 calories) so they keep you full longer than many other snack type bars. -

I'm not a huge fan of Quaker chewy bars, but I picked up a box of these because the flavour sounded good. It has the signature Quaker chewy bar taste of oats and sugar that bind the bar, but it does have a distinct blueberry taste and I love that it has yogurt chips throughout it. Of course, given the cost and type of bar, the blueberry taste is a tad artificial, but I don't equate that to it being a bad bar because it's important to keep in mind what this bar is, how much it costs, etc.
Ultimately, it's definitely a great snack bar to have around when you need a quick bite. It is also an excellent value so it is worth picking up just to try.
