Disclosure: I received a giftcard to check out Family Dollar and tell my readers about what I found. No opinions were swayed by the giftcard. But they were swayed by the great selection. IJS. It was four days before Christmas. I was running around like crazy trying to get everything done before my family and […]

My friends at Hood sent me some coupons for Hood milk so I could taste their product for myself. My opinions weren’t swayed but more than one cookie was dunked in the process of this review. Hood, one of the largest branded dairy operators in the US has been around since 1846. But it took […]
