This is the second Good &Simple;product I have tried. These muffins came pre-packaged in a box of 4 for $3.50. I found this product to be dry and dense. It wasn't filling and halfway I was done with trying to eat it. The flavour was bland.
The display at the store was nice and had a great variety and stock of products on the shelf.
Unfortunately I wouldn't buy these in the future. They didn't do much for me (not filling and high in sodium).
*I got these for free as part of the ChickAdvisor Review Club #gotitfree

I'm not 100% sold on the brand and the product they are selling... I wouldn't normally buy a pre-made backed good like this due to the added preservatives and increased sodium (additional form of preservatives). The sodium was high at 8% for a small, 40g portion. I found these were good for days I was on the go, forgot to eat and needed a quick fix. I didn't like the packaging because the ingredients list highlighted in bold all the "Good&Simple;" ingredients while the other "not so good" ingredients were left normal in hopes no one would notice?
I really wanted to like these as a quick fix between meetings or while travelling but I can't buy them knowing the other ingredients. I would have loved for the company to keep it "Good and Simple" with natural/wholesome ingredients. I would much rather make a big batch homemade and freeze them to take out when I needed them.
Price Point- I found this was average/comparable to other pre-packaged baked goods. $3.50 for 5, 40g bars.

I was really happy with this product! The quality of the Greek yogurt was really good! Smooth and creamy consistency and packed full of protein (naturally in Greek yogurt). I loved how filling it was in my morning parfaits with fruit and granola. The pouch is a much easier option as opposed to me having to empty a container each morning into my bowl- so much waste! I also liked the pouch for each time I had to pour it into my blender for smoothies! I think this is such a great idea and I'm happy IOGO came up with it because they have great yogurt! My only issue was that I had trouble finding it on the shelves. I looked at Sobey's and Shoppers Drugmart with no luck. I finally came across one last pouch on the shelf at No Frills. -
Arm & Hammer Slide Easy Clean-Up Clumping Litter (Multi-Cat)
Overall the product did as it said! Cleanup was easy and it really did a good job with being odour free. I found it slid out easily and didn't follow my cat out of the box like some brands. It wasn't light in weight. The packagaing was horrible... +
Overall the product did as it said! Cleanup was easy and it really did a good job with being odour free. I found it slid out easily and didn't follow my cat out of the box like some brands. It wasn't light in weight. The packagaing was horrible though. The handle ripped right through the cardboard on our walk home. Good if you have a vehicle but for downdown dwellers who rely on local transportation/biking/walking- super heavy and awkward to carry (esp with the handle breaking) :( Great product but they need to work on either making it less weight or having a heavy duty handle ;) -

First, I love how they are individually packaged! So easy for a busy girl always on the go. I paired mine with a couple of things throughout the week- bruschetta, guacamole and hummus. They have a mild flavour similar to a corn tortilla. Crispy, light and lightly salted on the tops. I was EXTREMELY happy that they were non GMO because most corn products are unfortunately GMO... hello Monsanto :( It was a nice surprise and a great alternative to similar brands I have tried. I received these free, for testing/reviewing purposes from ChickAdvisor :) -

Like the shampoo, I was less than impressed. The first thing I noticed was the horrid colour. It was an odd yellowish colour. I was expecting a fresh white or even clear to go with the coconut “scent/ingredients” theme. The scent was a little less invasive but still very fragrant and overpowering. I didn’t find it smelled like coconut at all and it was more of a floral scent.It was creamy and went into my hair nicely though.
I didn’t notice a difference compared to my regular conditioner.
The price was high at $8.49, compared to the competitor. I was expecting no more than $7 for a Dove product.
I would not buy this again as there are other options with less harmful chemicals, for less money available to me.

I have used Dove products in the past and I was expecting something new and improved with this new scent and ingredients. I first looked at the ingredient list on the back and was disappointed to see the second ingredient as sulfates. Sulfates are known to dry out hair so saying this is “hydrating” is contradictory. I also noticed there is no “Coconut Water” in the ingredients and only “Coconut Oil”. I found the shampoo to be really strong in scent and very floral compared to what I initially though- coconut, fresh, light… I was expecting to be reminded of being on vacation on a tropical island but that didn’t happen.
I didn’t find any difference in the feel of my hair compared to my normal product.
Price- $8.49 each in shoppers. I found this a little high compared to the competition.
Overall, I’m happy to be selected to test this product for free but I will not purchase this in the future. I didn’t find a difference in this product compared to my normal shampoo and was turned off by the harsh ingredients on a product that is marketed as being hydrating.

I just purchased this over the weekend because I wanted something new with a fresh, summer scent. Along with the scent, it offered a lightweight formula that was easy to apply and rinse out. It left my hair feeling light and soft. I styled my hair as normal and found it gave it a little more volume as opposed to my current shampoo. I think this is a quick fix for a fresh, summer scent and change to your normal shampoo.
I also got this on sale for $3.99! Such a steal for a drugstore brand. Dove has been a favourite of mine for years now. They offer quality products that don't break the bank.

I can see and feel a difference after using this toothbrush, with the Arm & Hammer toothpaste(which I am already using daily). I like how the brush head goes in different directions which allow the bristles to clean those hard to reach areas. I am happy with the price point of the initial product (initial brush purchase) as well as the replacement brush heads. I found it on sale at Wal-Mart this week for $7.99! I don’t like the fact this is battery operated but there are rechargeable batteries as an alternative. I’m not a fan of how much this vibrates and found it’s extremely loud and hurts my teeth after because it shakes so much in my mouth. Overall, I like the results but wouldn’t use this on a regular basis due to the noise, vibrations, and how bulky it is compared to a normal toothbrush. -

I use this as a multi purpose product. I use it for dry skin patches in the winter (especially for my fingers when they split open during the cold winter months) A little does go a long way, so use sparingly! I have used this for taking makeup off of my top eyelid after my mascara wand decided to extend past my lashes and onto my skin, and for removing rings off of swelled fingers on a couple of pregnant friends of mine. -
