Yoplait and MyBlogSpark were kind enough to offer me a “Nourish Your Inner Goddess” gift pack, as well as two coupons for their new Greek yogurt all for free. I was absolutely delighted to receive the gift pack because it gave me a chance to spoil myself.

My favorite part of the pack is the velcro wrap-around towel. Ladies, you know how it is trying to do the towel tuck under your arms, which ends up falling apart if you do it wrong or too loose, so you then have to clutch madly and awkwardly at the towel with your armpits to keep it from falling and perhaps even embarrassing you. Yes. We all know how this is.

The yogurt was a bit difficult to get my hands on. My boyfriend and I went around to two different stores and came out empty handed, though finally we went to the “rich” part of town and found it in their grocery store. Relief! My long, hard search ended in success when I had been worried about certain failure. We selected our two yogurts, one blueberry and one plain. Since lately I have been very vitamin aware, I was pleasured to learn that Yoplait Greek contains a large amount of protein, as well as vitamins A and D.

The one thing I noticed right away about the yogurt was its thickness. It’s thicker than typical yogurt, a lot more creamy. Sort of the texture of… sour cream. Stirring it up to mix in the blueberries at the bottom made it fluffy, but it still retained its thick heaviness. As opposed to the sweet taste of typical yogurt, the Greek style Yoplait had a slightly sour taste. I was a bit worried about this, as the date on my yogurt was well before the sell by time, so I did a little of online looking to discover that this sourness is normal. All in all, it had a really distinct and unique flavor and texture. It was yogurt-y, but yet very different. A good yogurt, though? Yes, yes it is.

The winner of the $25 gift card to Kroger’s contest, sponsored by Kroger Family of Stores and General Mills through MyBlogSpark, is #72: Jessie C.

I am going to email you for your mailing address now. Please get back to be in $24 hours with your address, which I will pass on to MyBlogSpark.

Can you believe I have (or rather, I suppose in this context I should use the word ‘had’) never been to a Kroger? My old residence did not have one when I lived there, so it never occurred to me to look for one when I moved. So when I got a $25 gift card from Kroger to try out their store¹, I immediately went online to the store locator and found my nearest Kroger, which so happens to be in the same complex as my banks. I’d never noticed!

It was during Kroger’s Cart Buster Savings Event, so the store was full of savings. In fact, Kroger’s family of stores participated, including: Ralph’s, King Soopers, City Market, Dillons, Smith’s, Fry’s, QFC, Baker’s, Owen’s, Jay C Food Stores, Hilander, Gerbes, Food4Less, Pay Less Super Markets and Scott’s Food & Pharmacy. So many of the most well known and well liked brands were included in this savings event. You could save money buying Honey Nut Cheerios, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Pillsbury, Betty Crocker, Hamburger Helper, Yoplait, Progresso, Totino’s, Green Giant, Cascadian Farm, Tide, Charmin, Bounty, Pampers, Pantene, Crest, Iams, Febreze, Old Spice

My boyfriend and I went in and were just in awe, especially at the large selection of organic foods. We ended up heading to the frozen food section and getting loads of stuff. Since the both of us live very on the go lives with barely any time spent at home to cook, we have to prepare meals that are fairly healthy with minimal effort.

Giveaway!
