If you’re like me, sometimes you purchase a product that looks great in theory, but is often more trouble than it’s worth. Whether they’re laborintensive, don’t perform as advertised or are a bother to clean up and store, the gadgets often get shoved into the backs of drawers or cupboards, only to eventually be tossed, donated or sold in a yard sale.

SUPERMARKET SLEUTH: Blue Bell unveils three new flavors

posted: 05/16/2012 3:15 a.m. Discuss

The folks at Blue Bell recently debuted a limitededition flavor, Red Velvet Cake, which is vanilla ice cream with pieces of red velvet cake and a swirl of cream cheese.

SUPERMARKET SLEUTH: Luden’s seeks jingle, offers soothing prize

posted: 04/18/2012 3:32 a.m. Discuss

Luden’s is an iconic company that’s famous for its line of throat drops. The company was founded in 1879 by William H. Luden, a school dropout and apprentice candy maker who started the company in his father’s former jeweler shop. I have memories of enjoying Luden’s drops as a child, whether I needed a throat drop or not.

SUPERMARKET SLEUTH: Chocolate, cream cheese add up to new Indulgence
