Its Greek to Me

Many of you will be familiar with the phenomenon of Greek Yogurt. I have stood back as I found it to be a bit expensive to buy. However this week and next the sales and coupons aligned and I found myself in possession of coupons for both Oikos by Stonyfield Farm and Chobani.

Chobani is on sale at Shaws for .99 this week and the coupon is for $1 off. Chobani seems to be $1 or .99 at quite a few stores which explains why people buy coupons on Ebay for .40-.60 each. Its comes in a lovely range of flavors that include plain, vanilla, honey, strawberry, blueberry and pomegranate. Fruit on the bottom. Unfortunately I bought all pomegranate and the fruit includes the seeds and is cooked/processed. So big crunchy seeds get stuck in your teeth. Not bad if you avoid it.

Oikos is on sale for 1.29 each at Shaws next week and their coupon is also for $1 off. Oikos is just over $1 at most stores which similarly explains why their coupons are going for $1-2 per set of ten on Ebay. it comes in a range of flavors that includes plain, vanilla, honey, strawberry and blueberry. The ad says chocolate and caramel coming soon in the four pack. I’m looking forward to trying it out next week.

Greek yogurt also comes in a couple other brands such as Brown Cow. Its thicker and creamier than regular yogurt and silkier on the tongue if not a bit more tart. Kind of like tart sour cream (the full fat kind). Definitely a nice change from the watery junk they sell as yogurt these days.

So pick up a cup or two at a great cost and expand your horizons.
