I received the coupon to reedem a case of the new Canada Dry Lemonade Gingerale which I was very excited to get since I love lemons and Gingerale. The product was hard to find as I had to go to 4 different grocery stores before I found one that carried it.
Overall I was not a fan of this new flavour. I have loved a few of Canada Dry's other flavours in the past but this one did not cut it for me. It needed way more lemon flavour I hardly tasted it at all. I found you had to drink it VERY cold because the minute it got warm it tasted worse. I found that regardless if it was cold or warm it left an after taste in my mouth and throat that I did not like (think of a very mild cough syrup or drop). I was really disappointed with this one and would definitely not purchase it in the future (stick to the regular gingerale).

Loved this conditioner. I have wavy hair and it is constantly tangled even after brushing within 2 minutes I have tangles. This conditioner went on smoothly and I could literally glide my brush through my hair once done without struggling. It left my hair feeling clean and smooth in combination when used with the shampoo.
My only complaint and this is preference is I would have liked more of a coconut scent (I love coconut). It was a little too floral for me.

I was soooo excited to get picked for this campaign. I had seen this product being shown on social media but it wasn't readily available in Canada (although now it is sold at Walmart).
This shampoo has great ingredients in it, lathers up very well and is vegan and not tested on animals. My hair felt clean without being greasy, and you didn't have to use a lot to wash your hair.
My only complaint and this is just personal preference is I wish it had more of a coconut scent and a little less Jasmine. I like the Jasmine smell but it is just a little too floral for me. Would definitely recommend this shampoo.

I was really excited to receive this hair spray to try for free as part of this campaign. In trying this product it did have some good qualities but also some negative which would make me not defer from my regular brand.
The pros to this hair spray is that it is none aerosol which is great. When applied it did not leave my hair hard or sticky as some other hairspray do.
The negatives aspect for me is although the scent was nice and light it was very floral in the Jasmine scent, I would have loved to have had more of a coconut smell (but this is just personal preference. The big downside for me is that I didn't find the hold to stand up throughout the entire day which I need as I wear my hair up daily. I would only buy this product if my regular brand wasn't available.

I received this product to try for free and was very excited as I only have a few grey hairs not a lot that I would need to buy a box of dye to colour my hair.
Right off the bat I opened the product and was happy there wasn't any harsh smell like most hair colouring products. Product came and looked like mascara you would buy for your eyes.
Application was a mess. It was thick and hard to smooth out getting on other parts of my hair I didn't want it to. The colour match wasn't bad in regular light although I think I. The sunlight you would have been able to see a visible difference. It did ok in covering the few Grey's I did have but don't know how it would stand up to big batches of hair that needed coverage, especially with this little mascara wand for application.
I also noticed that within about 2 hair washes it had already faded significantly which to me is a pain as I don't want to have to reapply this product daily or every other day.
Other all I wasn't impressed with the product and thought it was more of a hassle between the thick product, application with the wand and the overall length of time the product lasts as coverage. I would not recommend this product.

Dempster's 100% Whole Wheat Bagels

I was very surprised at how good these bagels were. They were very soft and almost had a hint of sweetness to it. Perfect size for breakfast and even toasted and packaged to eat 20 mins later at work did not cause it to go soggy or hard (as I have experienced with other brands in the past).
Regarding price point these are very well priced and I have seen them go on sale often which is great as well. Quantity in each pack (6) is good and these freeze well which I did with 2 of them.
I would definitely recommend these to a friend from a taste and price perspective. If you are not a fan of the whole wheat they have a selection of many other types of bagels also.

This was the flavour by far that my kids loved the most. It was smooth and creamy and they loved the shell shape as opposed to the standard Macaroni Shape.
Following the directions on the package allows the sauce to be smooth and avoids clumps of the powder sticking together throughout the sauce. Love the rich White Cheddar flavour - best I have tried in a box brand (as opposed to from scratch).
Once again my only negative comment is that it is on the pricey side and I would be more inclined to purchase this with a coupon as opposed to an everyday brand even though it has organic ingredients that are better than other brands.

This is the first time we have tried Annie's Mac and Cheese and it was delicious. Creamy and cheesy taste and best part is it is made with organic ingredients which means the cheese actually tastes like cheese not powder.
I love how compared to other brands you drain the pasta and then make the sauce in the pan and add the pasta back in. This is great because it avoids having clumping 'powdered' cheese bits through the pasta from it not dissolving properly. With Annie's this doesn't happen which I think is great as part of following the directions on the package.
My only complaint about Annie's is it is on the pricer side compared to other brands, which would cause people to go for a more cost affordable brand to buy more for less.
I would buy this again but would be more inclined to do so more often with a coupon.

I love being able to give my kids applesauce that is not artificially sweetened, but still sweet enough that my kids will eat it. These new Frustration + Fibre applesauce varieties are great. I love that these can be eaten for breakfast, lunch or a snack. I hope to see these in future in a squeezable pouch of some sort to take on the go - my kids are younger and still need some help with scooping so a pouch version would be great for them to eat on their own. -
