Stop & Shop shoppers, have you noticed your local store’s shelves looking a little ”orange” these days? Stop & Shop recently re-introduced its Guaranteed Value product line with a new look, new products and lower prices to help its customers save more at the register.

According to Stop & Shop, Guaranteed Value products offer customers more ways to take care of the essentials without busting their budgets. The new orange and white packaging features a clean, energetic new look that is easy to find as you shop their aisles.

You’ll also find a wide variety of Guaranteed Value products - macaroni and cheese dinners, candy, 3 liter soft drinks, baking mixes, dry dog and cat food, juice drinks, cookies, snacks, and nuts, just to name a few (with many more on the way!).

Like many shoppers, I regularly purchase store brand vs. name-brands. I rhink most of the time they’re just as good as the name brands, and they cost a lot less - on average 20 to 25 percent less. In fact, Stop & Shop has dropped the prices on many items throughout the Guaranteed Value line. Over 80 items are $1 or less, and more than 100 items are $2 or less! 

The folks at Stop & Shop sent me over a Guaranteed Value Gift pack to check out which included:

• Chocolate Sandwich Cookies
• Sugar Frosted Flakes Cereal
• Pasta Sauce
• Ranch Dressing
• Oregano
• Cling Peaches
• Garlic Powder
• Apple Juice
• Beef Noodle Dinner (like hamburger helper)
• $25 Stop & Shop Gift Card

I wish I could have gotten a photo of the gift pack. While I was out of the room the husband cracked open the package of cookies and handed them out to the kids who thought this was quite a treat. I will tell you this – there were no complaints from them, that is for sure!  My daughter got into the box of Frosted Flakes (since I don’t regularly buy them) and that was that. I have to say I thought the Guaranteed Value Frosted Flakes tasted a lot less sugary than other brands. That’s not a bad thing.

I personally got a chance to check out the oregano and the garlic powder which were both perfect to me. I’m going to crack open the Cling Peaches tomorrow at breakfast. Do they still call these things “cling peaches?” So 1950′s! OK, I also had a couple of cookies. Yeah, they were good.

Thanks to all who entered the Scotties Tissues giveaway! The winner of the 16 boxes of Scotties tissues is SandraR25. An email has also been sent your way.

Congratulations, and you can look forward to your jumbo box of tissues. Achoo!

I knew Scotties was a nice, soft tissue, but I didn’t know how environmentally friendly a company it is!  Introducing Scotties Facial Tissue and the 3-to-1 Tree Planting Promise. Since 2009, Scotties has put a promise to plant 3 trees for every one it uses to make its Softest Ever Facial Tissue. The parent company of  Scotties facial tissues, J.D. Irving Limited, has been committed to environmentally responsible business practices for over 50 years. In fact, J.D. Irving has planted over 800 million trees in the last 50 years! This is just one reason why Scotties is LIKE NO OTHER facial tissue brand. 

Scotties communicates on every box its commitment to plant 3 trees for every 1 used in making its softest ever tissues and uses 3rd party auditing to ensure compliance. Scotties Softest Ever tissues are chain of custody certified through the Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI). To learn more visit www.sfiprogram.org. You can also connect with Scotties on Facebook here.

Plus, Scotties is the only major U.S. facial tissue to be linked with the Responsible Forest Project (RFP). Scotties has partnered with American Forests to create SCOTTIES RELEAF U.S.A. and TREES ROCK! in an effort to promote urban tree planting initiatives in the United States. Nice!

I have a lot of noses in this house, and I really like Scotties. They are incredibly soft and there are many different  types of Scotties tissues from which to choose. Scotties are always hypoallergenic and now come in aloe which is my personal favorite.

Enter to Win a Winter’s Supply – 16 boxes – of Scotties Tissues!

The nice folks at Scotties want to give one lucky Wicked Cool Deals reader an entire winter’s supply of Scotties – 16 boxes in total! That’s going to wipe a lot of noses for sure.  Scotties sent me my supply, and I got a real hoot out of the gigantic box of tissues that arrived in the mail. The kids got a hoot out of it, too.
