Kroger Fried Chicken



I am a fried chicken fan! I love the hot juicy chicken coupled with tasty and perfectly seasoned crispy fried skin. But it is hard to find that perfect combination. I have tried many fast food restaurants and even some sit down restaurants and have never had as delicious a fried chicken as I did at Kroger last week. I was given a coupon for a free 8 piece selection from my local Kroger (King Soopers) and I used it the first night I needed a fast, no fuss dinner. I hate to say I have never even thought of buying chicken at my local Kroger deli.
I buy lunch meat and cheese there atleast once a week, but this showed me a different section of the counter and I was pleasantly surprised. The chicken was piping hot and made my car smell amazing on the ride home. It was tempting to grab a wing or leg and start munching away. But I knew my husband and my guests would be disappointed. I served the chicken with Kroger BBQ kettle chips and diet coke and my guests were very impressed. My mother in law was the most excited thinking I had stopped at a fast food place to pick up the chicken. When I told her it was only $7.99 for the box, she was even more impressed. Of course I told her I had received it for free from BzzAgent so that we could all try it. Everyone found the chicken to be perfectly most and the skin was crispy with an excellent flavor. I have finally found my perfect fried chicken and it exists only about 2 miles from my home! I will be making regular stops at my Kroger for this fast easy meal from now on.

NEW Yogurt Smoothie Bars from Kroger



The New Yogurt Smoothie bars from Kroger are a hit with my family! I love cool treats so I was really excited to receive this campaign from BzzAgent. After I got my coupon, I hurried over to my local store which is only about 2 miles away to pick up a treat. It has been a really hot summer here in CO and I was excited to get something to cool everyone off. I chose the Triple Berry and served them after our spaghetti dinner that night.
My husband really didn't want to try one but after taking a bite, he was really excited and said they had a great flavor. He never likes things that are too sweet and so he was really impressed with these. They have just the right amount of sweet to berry ratio. I thought these tasted very blueberry like which was a huge plus - I anticipated a more strawberry flavor but was pleasantly surprised with the cool refreshing flavor these had.







The fact that they are only 50 calories a bar is fantastic! I love that you can eat two of these and still be in great shape calorie wise. I almost wish they had just made them twice the size and the calories would still be totally acceptable for a snack. My baby even had some bites and was really pleased. It is a great and healthy teething snack! I was really impressed by these - great price which means it's easy on the wallet and a completely acceptable amount of calories which makes it easy to stay on track with my eating and dieting.

I received these bars free of charge from BzzAgent and Kroger but the opinions are my own.
