•What I Got

With my coupons, I got the Ripples Cheddar & Sour Cream potato chips, Vanilla Cream Soda, Sliders Mini Beef Burgers, and the Sliders Enriched Mini Buns.







Ripples Cheddar & Sour Cream potato chips
I really liked the chips. They were delicious, thick and crispy, and didn't taste off-brand. I was impressed with the chips because I've tried store-brand chips before and didn't like them. The other store-brand chips I have tried were bland, thin, and not good quality. But these Kroger chips were the exact opposite! The only con, I would say, about the chips is that the amount you get in the bag. The bag was only half filled with chips. But, isn't that the way it is with any chip brand? More air than chips in the container?









Vanilla Cream Soda
Also very delicious. The vanilla flavoring was not overpowering, as it has been in other cream sodas I have tried in the past. I liked the creaminess of this soda as well as how refreshing it was. Between this and the Citrus Drop, these are my two favorite Big K sodas.





Sliders Mini Beef Burgers
There were no additives in the patties. It was just beef. I appreciated this because when I eat beef, I don't want additives, I just want pure beef. They were tasty. They cooked okay. I would recommend thawing before cooking, however, because when we grilled them frozen, they were still cold/raw in the middle, but almost blackened on the outside. In the BzzGuide, it states that the burgers cook "perfectly from frozen without thawing", which, obviously, didn't work out for me. Other than that, I liked these burgers. I really liked that there were two individually sealed packages of 10 patties in the bag, keeping the unused burgers fresh in the freezer and without freezer burn.






Sliders Enriched Mini Buns
The quality of the buns was okay. They were on the crumbly side (if you've ever bought off-brand bread, you know that sometimes the bread itself can be crumbly and of poor quality) but not bad. They weren't very thick, but not thin either. They were perfect size. I wanted to try the 100% Whole Wheat, but at the Dillon's where I picked up my items, they only had the white buns.














Overall, I would definitely purchase these items again in the future.
