| Copps Trip 5/4/11 $6.97...81% OFF! |
I made a quick Copps trip today to catch their double day. I feel like I'm starting out the month slightly more slowly in terms of my grocery budget. So that's good. I do also plan to make another stop at Walgreens, Hy-Vee, & ALDI yet this week, though...so we'll see! ;-)

What does the silk milk taste like? I've been wanting to try it since I got a $1 coupon for it in a box of cereal I bought a few weeks ago. :) Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI think it has a really nice, smooth taste. Just don't expect it to taste like milk. As far as soy milks go, I prefer the "Silk" brand, overall.
ReplyDeleteOOOooh so it's soy milk? lol.. should have done my research :) Will give it a try this saturday with double doubles!! :D thank you! also, I'm glad I found your site! a local blog! :D
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you found MCC, Poglaus! :-)
ReplyDeleteIt can be fun trying new products! If you have a $1/1 coupon for this, & are able to get the Silk Soymilk with DHA (1/2 gallon) for $2.50 (the price I see pretty regularly at my Copps), you'll just be paying $0.50 for it on double-day! :-)
