As a bzz agent through bzzagent.com, I was thrilled to get the Private Selections campaign. I've been seeing this brand in my local Dillon's (Kroger) store and had been wanting to try them.
My kit included 3 free coupons--one for an appetizer, one for a pizza, and one for a dessert.
Pictured below are the boxes of the choices we made for our meal. Also included were 5-$2 coupons to use and/or pass out.
There was a wide variety of appetizers to choose from. We aren't eggplant or mushroom eaters in this house, and most all of them had one or the other, or both in them. I chose the Southwestern Style Chicken Trumpets (on sale for $7.29) because they had neither.
The pizza's on are the gourmet side. My daughter and I enjoy the different types of pizza--my husband doesn't. I chose the Pepperoni and Roasted Garlic (on sale for $5.49). The dessert was the hardest to choose---there were so many of them and each and every one of them looked scrumptious. I chose the Mini Eclairs (on sale for $3.99).
Here is a photo of our table just before we sat down to eat:
What did we think? We loved all of it! The pizza is only intended to serve 2, but I cut it in to 6 pieces giving us each 2. The Trumpets were meant to serve 3, with 9 in the box, so we each got 3. The eclairs have 4 servings in the box. My husband can't have sugar and was surprised to see the sugar content per serving of 5 pieces to only have 10g sugar. He ate a couple and really enjoyed them. My daughter also only ate a couple as well. That left the rest of the box for me!
Would I buy these Private Selections products? Yes, I would buy more, especially if they are on sale and even better if I also have coupons. I wouldn't be able to buy them on a regular basis though based on the price.
