Sugar Free Syrups Deal
Amazon is having a grocery clearance. I thought the chicks might be interested in the sugar free coffee syrups. I just ordered Valetta Flavor Company Irish Creme and Hazelnut syrups, $2.96 shipped for a 29oz bottle, but you have to buy 3 bottles. The Toranis are sold out, and things are going fast, so don't wait! When you put it in your cart, the price will come up at $19.75 for the 3 bottles. At checkout enter code CLRNCFTY for an additional 55% off. If your total is more than $25 you will get free shipping. I also got Splenda Brown sugar for $1.17/box, but had to order 6 boxes. I will share with a beachy friend.
I have not tried Valetta brand yet, so order at your own risk!
Be sure to use the 3fc link to amazon.

I love them in my coffee, and that's mostly how I use them. But I also use them in the oatmeal breakfast bars. I had a gingerbread flavored one from Starbucks, and that made really yummy Nessa Bars. I try not to use much artificial sweetener, but this is one area where I'm completely hooked. Gotta work on that one day. After I've used up the 6 bottles I ordered today maybe...

Because I have never tried this, I don't want to order 3 bottles of a flavor I am picking at random. Can you buy these in the stores too? If so, where? is there a brand/flavor that is highly recommended. I love coffee, I have switched to Splenda, but I would be open to a flavor once in a while.
Um, what is a Nessa bar? is that P1 friendly?

Jen,
Nessa bars are the oatmeal breakfast bars. The recipe is stickied in Ph2 breakfasts. Very yummy but definitely not for Ph1.
You can buy these syrups at grocery stores, at Starbucks or specialty coffee shops, and I also get them at Target. At the grocery and Target your choices will usually be limited to vanilla, hazelnut, caramel. Starbucks will sell you their specialty syrups for their seasonal drinks also - gingerbread, pumpkin spice, etc.
Oh, I have used Torani, Davinci, Starbucks, and Target brands, and haven't noticed a huge difference in quality.

Wow, those are big bottles too!
I've only bought the gingerbread from SB, and it lasted me about 3 months. I don't remember exactly how much it was, but I do remember I expected them to charge me more. I think their price is surprisingly reasonable considering how much a cup of their coffee costs!

I love the pumpkin spice coffe from Starbucks too! I typically don't drink Starbucks, I am a Dunkin Doughnuts gal, but our Target has a Starbucks in there. I cannot reists the smell! Espeically in the fall when the pumpkin ones come out!
Thanks for the tips. I might pick up a bottle today while I am at Target.

I'm not a coffee drinker but I add these to my skim milk to help the flavor. I like the chocolate best so far but right now I have vanilla, cinnamon and coconut.
