#Kellogg’s Special K Cracker Chips {REVIEW AND GIVEAWAY}

By | | , ,
44 Comments

Special K Cracker Chips are a crunchy, light snack (containing approximately 80 calories per serving). They come in three flavours: Original, Sour Cream & Onion, Cheddar. These cracker chips are a great snack for me because I often crave salty snacks and these ones are much healthier than chips, but still full of flavour! My husband and I really enjoyed the Sour Cream and Onion, my daughter LOVES the Cheddar ones and my son preferred the plain. The three boxes that we received for review lasted only a few days in our house! I found that there was just the … Continue reading →

I have been using these new crystals in my laundry for approximately 1 month now. I often use OxiClean® as a laundry booster because I tend to use a natural laundry soap that requires something additional to really brighten and effectively clean the clothing.My favourite part of this product is the packaging; the fact that it comes in a bottle instead of a tub! What this means is your hands don’t get any product on them, which is something I find happens when I use the OxiClean® with a scoop! The one thing I would love to see changed is … Continue reading →
