Post Your Wins

Guys - this isn't a finance win, but I've been able to do push up every day for 90 days - nice to have a bit more upper body strength. Can't wait to see where I'm at after a year.

All - posting another frugal win.

I went into my local Fred Meyer (owned by Kroger) and checked the discount rack. I was able to pick up these five large chocolate bars for about $1.05 each. This is a total win because most of the time these bars for for like $2.99.

In any case I love KitKat, so its a huge win for me.

Send me your address and any amount of money & I'll send a sampling of all the various Japanese KitKat flavors that are available out here -- the variety is extensive .... at least a dozen+ that readily come to mind. Regular, dark chocolate, strawberry, strawberry cheesecake, chocolate-orange, white chocolate, lemon, green tea, strawberry molten lava cake (yes), chocolate-caramel, other flavors that rotate seasonally. If you love KitKat, Japan is your place.

Is it also made by nestle instead of hershey so the chocolate is different? It's different in canada too.

We can find a lot of the Japanese variants here at Asian markets and other specialty stores, though I'm sure they are cheaper in Japan.

Eh, maybe. They're actually kinda expensive here... ~$3 for a bag with 10 mini packs of 2.5inch double-sticks. Not absurd, but not cheap either.

To LAL's point, yes they're made by Nestle over here. Personally that's a plus, because Hershey's always puts an ingredient in their chocolate that makes it taste needlessly bitter/almost sulfurous. Hershey's is also just generally a lower quality chocolate IMO.... But I'm discerning about my chocolate.
