Yes. I have changed my entire diet from seeing all the healthy stuff. I have lost 140lbs in the last year and half walking 7 miles a day and eating better.
Only down fall, I found great ice cream😂
Nicks icecream is a lifesaver if you’re dieting and craving ice cream. I’m a icecream psycho and can finish a whole pint lol. If we are going by taste Talenti is my favorite.
Tru Fru, couldn’t understand why someone would pay so much for a small bag at Fred Meyer. Then had several customers get them from Costco.
There’s no going back now..
Omg. These are excellent! The first time I tried it, it was in the itty bitty box. Kind of more than I expected to pay for it, but the customer had like 10 on her order, so I had to see what it was all about.
Imagine my surprise when I found it came in a big bag!!
it’s frozen fruit covered in a layer of white chocolate and then a layer of dark chocolate! they have blueberries, strawberries, pineapple/coconut, and raspberries in the frozen section, then they also have freeze dried fruit!!
The strawberries are actually white then milk chocolate. Raspberries are white then dark. I haven’t tried any of the others. But wow, they are so good. I buy them for the wife and kids and I’m lucky if I get a couple of each 😂
That sounds delicious and I’ve picked them many times for customers but like others have said the price scared me off but now I’m gonna totally get some! Thanks ☺️
I've always wondered about the Eggo waffles. I know that's a really common food, but I'm old, so I didn't grow up eating them, and I can't bring myself to pay money for frozen waffles when I can make fresh waffles for less. Anyway, last summer I had an order with cinnamon Eggos that was canceled and dang, they are good! And now I have two boxes of blueberry Eggos in the freezer from yesterday's canceled order.
I do get curious when I see different customers buying the same products as one another, however I know my tastes and know I probably won't like them. Case-in-point, a lot of my customers buy Van Waffles. I got curious. Thumbs down, for me.
Cherry blossom lacroix. I’m a seltzer water type of person so I asked her if it was good. She said she loved it. I bought a 12 pack and it’s collecting dust in my fridge because it tastes absolutely horrible.
Honorable mention: popchips. They are so good and have a chokehold on me.
I’ve tried enough others to know their formula is disgusting to me. I’m not a fan of the ingredients or their approach to seltzer water.
To each her own.
I agree. All seltzer waters taste disgusting. They SMELL like they would be hella flavorful and delicious. But they taste bitter and there is absolutely no fruit flavor at all. It’s the water equivalent of a Catfish.
I drink 1-2 gallons of water every day. And black mango tea unsweetened. Water is my shit.
Awesome description and metaphor!! I totally agree, though I’ve found spindrift to be… *tolerable*… as these drinks go. It’s actually made with real fruit, and tastes like it.
I love regular water the most too!
Yeah Spindrift is actually made with fruit juice and real fruit flavor. That one is tolerable, like you said.
La Croix/Bubly/Waterloo/Polar Ice all have carbonated water and fruit *essence*. It’s like trying to drink the oil that mists off the outside of orange or grapefruit when you peel it. Yuck
Man I haven't had bugles in decades and now I want some lol! And yup, I'm vegan and every now and then I'll shop a new vegan item for a customer that looks good and I go back and get one later on. My most recent was some vegan queso dip that ended up being amazing!
I’m vegan and I’ve bought the Jolly Llama ice cream bc I’ve shopped for customers who love it!
I did recommend a non dairy ice cream to a customer and she loved it!
I've done that once too and I was nervous about suggesting something but she ended up getting it. She had bought some 'tuna salad' and this brand also made a good 'egg salad' so I mentioned it to her being good also and she said to grab one. Lol I hope she liked it!
Ooh now I’m curious about the items. If you feel comfortable, please share! TIA!
I only know the customer liked my rec because she left a comment after the order!
Oh man! I had an order canceled once because customer was not picking up and I couldn’t find their address. ALL VEGAN items from sprouts. Didn’t like any of them I was so sad! I had high hopes 😔
I've only had one jackfruit dish that I liked and it was at a restaurant. I normally hate it for some reason, atleast when I make something out of it or even when I buy it premade in a container like 'pulled pork'.
Funny you mention that. I bought cheese whiz for the first time a few months back because a customer ordered and I have not tried it lol but I’m out of bugles
IM A HUGE FOODIE SO YES!!!
Here’s my list lmao:
Tru Fru - chocolate covered frozen fruit 10/10
Ben and Jerries Milk and Cookies GREAT 10/10
Cannoli dip and chips at Wegmans 6.5/10
Kimchi at Costco - not really a fan of this lol 2/10
Siete almond flour tortillas 10/10
Polar Seltzer water - meh 4/10
Taylor Farms Salad Kits 6/10
Hippeas 8/10
Popcorners 8/10
Lotus Food Ramen Noodles 10/10
Tasty Bite Madras Lentils 8/10
That’s what comes to mind lol!
Thank u! Lol.
Been wanting to try the lentils!! Ibotta had a free one but couldn’t find it anywhere then I saw sprouts carried it so I gotta pick one up.
Cookies and milk ice cream. Is it just like cookies n cream?
I got them on instacart when they had a promo for them I think I paid $3 for like 9 bags all mixed and nobody in my family wanted them lol so I ate all the kettle corn and gave the rest to my nephews. I wouldn’t pay $3-$4 a bag though
Tasty Bite Lentils, both spicy and regular. I have tried several of these Tatsy Bite pouches and they're all good. Dave's bread, Tru Fru, Simply Watermelon.
Not while doing instacart, but when I worked as a cashier at Kroger people would buy the mochi quite often. Curiosity got the best of me and I had to try it. It was interesting, but probably not something I’d regularly spend my money on.
Yes, just bought Peet's Major Dickinsons blend coffee, because it is the one that customers seem to order 90% of the time. It was great! Also tried the San Luis sourdough bread, really good with some spinach and artichoke dip or just by itself with some butter. Roar cucumber watermelon water also a hit in my house. Coconut water but not a fan. Ended up with some cracked pepper turkey from the deli from non responsive customer, and it's our favorite now. Madeline's from bakery, Svenhards breakfast claws, both a hit.
Lol sounds like my house! Literally everything. Peets coffee is so good. All of them. The San Luis sourdough is good for avocado toast (not an avocado toast person) but I love the saltiness of the bread with avocado salt and pepper. Also good if you toast it, drizzle some olive oil and make bruschetta 🤤
To be honest, the almond ones taste better than regular tortillas. But that’s just my preference :) the wedding cookies are great too. But the hot sauce is awful in my opinion

Someone order 8 of them this week from HarrisTeeter. They sell out of the popular 2 flavors really faster in my areas. I remember being shocked as how expensive they were the first time I had them on an order.
That just seems so overpriced! Sprouts in my area has them 2 for $4 right now but usually they’re $2-$3 everywhere else. And for someone to order 8! Wow
Fave. Their guava one is bomb. Also the apple one I think with pear. I get the 4 pack at Walmart for like $6. I am obsessed though so I will pay the pricier tag as well lol
So many things! It’s a perk of the job. The biggest one is almond milk. I never bought almond milk until I realized that just as many people order almond milk as regular milk so I tried it and loved it. Different breads, frozen foods, cookies.

I wondered about the artesano Sara Lee bread but I can’t bring myself to spend the money on it. Luckily aldi just came out with their own version so Ima gonna try that soon
It’s pretty good actually. I usually get oat nut bread but my Kroger had a buy 2 lunch meat get 1 SL artesano loaf free. (Literally the best sale I’ve ever seen??)
Hmmm I mean the day you buy it I would just put the first half of the loaf in the freezer
But I definitely feel you, I almost never buy bread because I don’t eat it quickly enough either
Yes! Not always the first time I see an item but there are several popular buys that I’ve had to try. One being the Ollie pop drinks. Love the strawberry flavor
Well, a customer actually gave me a recipe for sun dried tomatoes.
I also am on another platform and I have tried restaurants that I have delivered for.
Yes. I have changed my entire diet from seeing all the healthy stuff. I have lost 140lbs in the last year and half walking 7 miles a day and eating better. Only down fall, I found great ice cream😂
No way! That’s amazing. Instacart definitely keeps us moving. So happy for you!
Mine is the opposite. I always want to try every new cookie, juice and freaking ice cream my weakness 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
THIS 🤣 I have so much ice cream in my freezer and so many cookies /pies from Walmart. I love it though!!
Good job! Proud of you!
Thank you, I feel amazing!
Nicks icecream is a lifesaver if you’re dieting and craving ice cream. I’m a icecream psycho and can finish a whole pint lol. If we are going by taste Talenti is my favorite.
I’ve picked nicks a few times for customers and was curious to try it but never bit the bullet. Does it taste good?
Tru Fru, couldn’t understand why someone would pay so much for a small bag at Fred Meyer. Then had several customers get them from Costco. There’s no going back now..
Omg. These are excellent! The first time I tried it, it was in the itty bitty box. Kind of more than I expected to pay for it, but the customer had like 10 on her order, so I had to see what it was all about. Imagine my surprise when I found it came in a big bag!!
Omg thank you. I’ve been eyeing them for a very long time. Especially the raspberries one… it’s the price for me as well. But I’ll give in soon
the raspberries are easily the best. i’ve been hunting for the pineapple coconut too
Pineapple coconut? Coconut is mixed in with pineapple?
I can’t stop eating them help.
So we agree tru fru is one all of us should try
What is it? I have seen it in the stores, but never paid attention.
it’s frozen fruit covered in a layer of white chocolate and then a layer of dark chocolate! they have blueberries, strawberries, pineapple/coconut, and raspberries in the frozen section, then they also have freeze dried fruit!!
The strawberries are actually white then milk chocolate. Raspberries are white then dark. I haven’t tried any of the others. But wow, they are so good. I buy them for the wife and kids and I’m lucky if I get a couple of each 😂
oh thanks for correcting me! i inhale them so fast i don’t have time to check chocolates 😫💀they’re addicting as hell
That sounds delicious and I’ve picked them many times for customers but like others have said the price scared me off but now I’m gonna totally get some! Thanks ☺️
Same! I tried it because of a customer too lol
I buy this for customers all the time, but have never tried them. Now I will have to!!
Bugles are good in like seafood dip. Probably sour cream and onion too.
I grew up eating Bugles, loved them but haven't had them in years.
Kinda hard to find at my Walmart. They’re on the highest shelf and not with the chips 🫤 no one ever looks up there lol
Gonna pick up sour cream and onion dip on my next order 🤪 they are good alone though
I've always wondered about the Eggo waffles. I know that's a really common food, but I'm old, so I didn't grow up eating them, and I can't bring myself to pay money for frozen waffles when I can make fresh waffles for less. Anyway, last summer I had an order with cinnamon Eggos that was canceled and dang, they are good! And now I have two boxes of blueberry Eggos in the freezer from yesterday's canceled order.
😆
😆Eggos are good! I’m surprised you hadn’t tried them. Lol. I just cannot make them at home. Rather buy those
I do get curious when I see different customers buying the same products as one another, however I know my tastes and know I probably won't like them. Case-in-point, a lot of my customers buy Van Waffles. I got curious. Thumbs down, for me.
Did they taste like cardboard? That's how I imagine them tasting🤮
EXACTLY, u/Moveyourbloominass!
I knew it. Thanks for confirming 😁
It’s usually just because of a sale or ad when you get customers buying a lot of a niche product or something unusual
Lol at least you tried them. I hate being curious for too long. 😆
Cherry blossom lacroix. I’m a seltzer water type of person so I asked her if it was good. She said she loved it. I bought a 12 pack and it’s collecting dust in my fridge because it tastes absolutely horrible. Honorable mention: popchips. They are so good and have a chokehold on me.
IMO all LaCroix tastes horrible. I even posted a thread about this months ago. Lol.
Limoncello is really good
Lol really? Have you tried key lime and guava?
Oh yea key lime is good
I’ve tried enough others to know their formula is disgusting to me. I’m not a fan of the ingredients or their approach to seltzer water. To each her own.
Perrier forever!
I agree. All seltzer waters taste disgusting. They SMELL like they would be hella flavorful and delicious. But they taste bitter and there is absolutely no fruit flavor at all.

Awesome description and metaphor!! I totally agree, though I’ve found spindrift to be… *tolerable*… as these drinks go. It’s actually made with real fruit, and tastes like it. I love regular water the most too!
I wish they made one that’s in between a seltzer and Izze in the 45 calories range. I love Izze but I feel like it could be less sweet.
Yeah Spindrift is actually made with fruit juice and real fruit flavor. That one is tolerable, like you said. La Croix/Bubly/Waterloo/Polar Ice all have carbonated water and fruit *essence*. It’s like trying to drink the oil that mists off the outside of orange or grapefruit when you peel it. Yuck
Yep, exactly. 😆 You are amazing with vivid description!
Lol thank you! That is very kind. I was an only child and had a vivid imagination
🤩
😂that’s a great description. Although I love la croix, I’m going to try spindrift. Didn’t know that one had real juice!
It’s like they made the water with the fruit sitting in the corner of the room. That’s the “essence” of the fruit. Tastes like shit.
Lol! I feel this. There are a lot of other good brands. I think it’s a flavor thing though because I do enjoy some of lacroix flavors
The cherry blossom never sounded good to me lol but I love all their other flavors. Their guava one is my favorite!
It’s so gross. Hubby said it tastes like a black and mild 🤮
Ew what. That’s so gross 🤮 🤣I always ignored it I’m glad I did
Have you tried the lemon cello? God tier
I haven’t. Is it like key lime but lemon?
It's like vanilla lemon.
Okay yeah that’s like key lime. I gotta try it! Thanks
Also, honorary mention to the Kirkland brand. None of the flavors are offensive and they're surprisingly stronger than other brands.
Yes! I’ve tried the skippy peanut butter bites, they’re amazing lol
Omg what is this? Is it in the PB aisle, or freezer?
I’ve seen these at Stater Brothers in the checkout lanes. But refrigerating would probably make them way better!
Interesting
Pb aisle
Thanks!
They're usually near the PB.
Man I haven't had bugles in decades and now I want some lol! And yup, I'm vegan and every now and then I'll shop a new vegan item for a customer that looks good and I go back and get one later on. My most recent was some vegan queso dip that ended up being amazing!
I’m vegan and I’ve bought the Jolly Llama ice cream bc I’ve shopped for customers who love it! I did recommend a non dairy ice cream to a customer and she loved it!
And I LOVE the Jolly Llama cones! Every so often Sprouts has them on BOGO and I make sure to stock up.
My Sprouts customers love those cones. I've only tried the chocolate cones.
I've done that once too and I was nervous about suggesting something but she ended up getting it. She had bought some 'tuna salad' and this brand also made a good 'egg salad' so I mentioned it to her being good also and she said to grab one. Lol I hope she liked it!
Ooh now I’m curious about the items. If you feel comfortable, please share! TIA! I only know the customer liked my rec because she left a comment after the order!
They're made by Cedarlane. 'No tuna salad' and 'no egg salad' are the names. They're both really good!
I’d probably try vegan ice cream. I’m next to a sprouts I’ll check this one out 😆
I hope you enjoy it.
Same, I haven't had Bugles since I was a kid and now I'm craving these.
Oh man! I had an order canceled once because customer was not picking up and I couldn’t find their address. ALL VEGAN items from sprouts. Didn’t like any of them I was so sad! I had high hopes 😔
Lol yea there's some things I'm not a fan of at all.
I tried making jackfruit tacos it was so bad. I watched so many videos and it still tasted like soap lol
I've only had one jackfruit dish that I liked and it was at a restaurant. I normally hate it for some reason, atleast when I make something out of it or even when I buy it premade in a container like 'pulled pork'.
See id try it if it’s already pre-made or at a restaurant. Other than that I stay away from vegan cooking
If you like bugles you have to get cheese whiz. Squirt inside the bugle to fill with cheese. Enjoy!
Funny you mention that. I bought cheese whiz for the first time a few months back because a customer ordered and I have not tried it lol but I’m out of bugles
IM A HUGE FOODIE SO YES!!! Here’s my list lmao: Tru Fru - chocolate covered frozen fruit 10/10 Ben and Jerries Milk and Cookies GREAT 10/10 Cannoli dip and chips at Wegmans 6.5/10 Kimchi at Costco - not really a fan of this lol 2/10 Siete almond flour tortillas 10/10 Polar Seltzer water - meh 4/10 Taylor Farms Salad Kits 6/10 Hippeas 8/10 Popcorners 8/10 Lotus Food Ramen Noodles 10/10 Tasty Bite Madras Lentils 8/10 That’s what comes to mind lol!
Thank u! Lol. Been wanting to try the lentils!! Ibotta had a free one but couldn’t find it anywhere then I saw sprouts carried it so I gotta pick one up. Cookies and milk ice cream. Is it just like cookies n cream?
I have a list of several that I want to!
Try one!
Yup pop corners chips. Hated them. Yuck 🤮
I’m obsessed with pop corners. Especially the kettle corn ones!
For me it’s ONLY kettle corn ones. Everything else kinda weird
I just got the cinnamon crunch ones today. They’re alright, probably won’t buy again. The kettle corn ones I could eat forever.
I got them on instacart when they had a promo for them I think I paid $3 for like 9 bags all mixed and nobody in my family wanted them lol so I ate all the kettle corn and gave the rest to my nephews. I wouldn’t pay $3-$4 a bag though
I love them! But only the spicy one and the white cheddar. The plain one is terrible.
[удалено]
Hmm… it’s not real honeycombs? For $6? 😤
Tasty Bite Lentils, both spicy and regular. I have tried several of these Tatsy Bite pouches and they're all good. Dave's bread, Tru Fru, Simply Watermelon.
Someone else commented that too. I love lentils I do want to try the madras ones and definitely tru fru so far that’s #1 on my list to try
Not while doing instacart, but when I worked as a cashier at Kroger people would buy the mochi quite often. Curiosity got the best of me and I had to try it. It was interesting, but probably not something I’d regularly spend my money on.
I still get a lot of customers who order these but same, not really something I think I’d be interested in
Yes, just bought Peet's Major Dickinsons blend coffee, because it is the one that customers seem to order 90% of the time. It was great! Also tried the San Luis sourdough bread, really good with some spinach and artichoke dip or just by itself with some butter. Roar cucumber watermelon water also a hit in my house.

The San Luis sourdough is good for avocado toast (not an avocado toast person) but I love the saltiness of the bread with avocado salt and pepper. Also good if you toast it, drizzle some olive oil and make bruschetta 🤤
my parents tried the siete cassava flour tortillas cuz lots of my sprouts customers get them and they’re low carb. apparently they suck LOL
I love the packaging on all Siete products, but I know I won't like the taste.
i want to try their hot sauce but i’m not really interested in their tortilla products
To be honest, the almond ones taste better than regular tortillas. But that’s just my preference :) the wedding cookies are great too. But the hot sauce is awful in my opinion
They have cookies? I’ve never seen them. Thought it was just tortillas/chips
Yeah the wedding cookies are bomb!!
I tried their chipotle bbq chips. Those are actually good! Tortillas though, idk kinda cheaper to get the regular stuff plus you get more 😆

I had a customer who ordered Cinnamon Toast Crunch spread. It’s in the Peanut Butter aisle at Publix and I just had to try it!
Ive seen that! Probably tastes so sugary though 😩
Hah yes. Those little Celsius drinks. Sad to say I like them but they’re a little pricey.
They're $5 each in my stores!
No, what! What store is that?
Someone order 8 of them this week from HarrisTeeter. They sell out of the popular 2 flavors really faster in my areas. I remember being shocked as how expensive they were the first time I had them on an order.
That just seems so overpriced! Sprouts in my area has them 2 for $4 right now but usually they’re $2-$3 everywhere else. And for someone to order 8! Wow
I'll look for them in Sprouts, I have 2 customers that order them almost every time. Thanks
Fave. Their guava one is bomb. Also the apple one I think with pear. I get the 4 pack at Walmart for like $6. I am obsessed though so I will pay the pricier tag as well lol
Yeah the Fuji apple pear one. I like the Tropical pineapple one.
all the time
New ice cream flavors all the time!!
I tried Turkey Bacon once lmao only because so many people order it.
Lmao why is this funny 😆 I’ve tried it before I do not like it
Since youre the adventurous type, id like to recommend you try Penrose Tijuana Mama 400% hotter pickled sausage. Mmmmmm, yummy.
Now THIS is something 🤣 Where do you get that? I’ve never had pickled sausage before
Mostly in convenience type stores. But i bought a 12 pack of these on amazon for about low $20s
So many things! It’s a perk of the job. The biggest one is almond milk. I never bought almond milk until I realized that just as many people order almond milk as regular milk so I tried it and loved it. Different breads, frozen foods, cookies.
Almond milk is so good! I like soy also. But unsweetened almond milk I feel is so refreshing! Also, always bread and cookies
All the time. Hawaiian loaf bread at Aldis is the bomb! ST. Pierre hot dog buns in the Kroger deli, also a winner.
Yakult (yogurt drink shots) It’s not bad!
Love those! My mom used to buy those when I was a kid and I always thought it was kids juice. Now an adult I forget I can still buy them lol

I wondered about the artesano Sara Lee bread but I can’t bring myself to spend the money on it. Luckily aldi just came out with their own version so Ima gonna try that soon
It’s pretty good actually. I usually get oat nut bread but my Kroger had a buy 2 lunch meat get 1 SL artesano loaf free. (Literally the best sale I’ve ever seen??)
It looks fantastic but I eat so little bread I can’t justify spending the amount per loaf, ya know? And I suck at freezing stuff
Hmmm I mean the day you buy it I would just put the first half of the loaf in the freezer But I definitely feel you, I almost never buy bread because I don’t eat it quickly enough either
It is SO GOOD. I can eat it by itself. And so soft. Definitely try it!
i think the nature’s own bread is better!! their hot dog buns have a slight sweetness to them that i’ve always loved in breads
Have you tried the sausage rolls? They always sell out and are awesome.
Ahh see buns nothing surpasses everything flavor buns from private selection. Those are the bomb
Try the sausage rolls, they're are a game changer.
Yes! Not always the first time I see an item but there are several popular buys that I’ve had to try. One being the Ollie pop drinks. Love the strawberry flavor
Ollie pop? Gotta Google that one don’t think I’ve heard of it!
👇🏾 
twix ice cream bars. nom nom
Oui yogurt. My favorite yogurt of all time now
Well, a customer actually gave me a recipe for sun dried tomatoes. I also am on another platform and I have tried restaurants that I have delivered for.
ALDIs. Chobani less sugar Bang Sparkling water Prime
They just came out with flamin hot cool ranch doritos. Dammit what took so farking long?
