Both of those dressings are on sale for $3.16 at Vitacost -- along with 64 other Walden Farms products, and if you access the site through EBates, you can get another 4% in cash back. Open the account with EBates for free and get the cash back deal on a bunch of online purchases.
Vitacost has a 15% discount this weekend with code FFSHARE15 if you buy $100 of merchandise, and you can get free shipping (I think that's for orders over $50) -- I place an order about once a quarter to stock up on my most used Walden Farms products and also get my Potassium and my Cal-Mag there at much better prices than IP.
I bought the Pear Vinegarette dressing this week, and I have to say, it is very good!! In my top choices. I had it on an arrugula salad and it was a nice counter to the peppery flavor of the arrugula. Last night I added it to a sauteed chicken that I had put salt, garlic powder and red pepper flakes in- it was really good! So, that one gets a huge thumbs up in my book.
Has anyone tried the mayo flavors beyond the "Amazin' Mayo"? It is just so horrifyingly sweet but I like the idea of it...
Actually looking at the list of flavors, Pomegranate(why??) and Honey Mustard sound sweet already, so I guess I should try the Ranch or Chipotle and hope for the best.
Maybe adding wasabi or horseradish powder would cut the sweetness of the "amazin'" mayo ...

I like the honey mustard best and then chipotle. The pomegranate is not like mayo but it isn't bad.
I wanted to add some reviews so you can save your money on some of these products!
Worth your money:
The chocolate dip is good on apples!
The pancake syrup is good. I was looking for something without the sugar alcohol and this was it.
Bad:
I literally tried the spicy bbq sauce and tossed the bottle.
I bought the blueberry syrup and it tasted like cough syrup. That's also hitting the trash, so total waste of money for both of those.
I guess I can tolerate most of the Walden Farms stuff I have tried. My favorite dressings are Italian and Balsamic Vinaigrette. I also don't mind the French, Chipotle Ranch and Bacon Ranch (however the regular Ranch is icky).
I have only had the tomato basil spaghetti sauce once. I added some lean ground beef, a little garlic salt, some red bell pepper and mushrooms and loved the flavor combination, though the color was odd.
I don't mind the caramel syrup and chocolate syrup to give me something to satisfy my sweet tooth; I like the caramel syrup on my low-carb chocolate cake or in coffee with a little unsweetened almond milk.
I have had the mayo in a tuna salad that I ate without bread; I thought that was alright too.

Reason: Added a little more info
When I started the program, I tried the WF products "straight" and could barely choke them down. Later, I found that "cutting" them with something really helped - the mayo with deli mustard, or the mayo and ketchup together with deli mustard. The same with the dressings - I mixed the Italian or the Asian-ginger (???I think that's what it is???) with my olive oil and a lot of spices. Then yesterday, the Asian was the only thing I had at work, and tried that 'straight' and it was fine - mind you I was very hungry. So, I do think that my palette/taste buds have changed since I've been on the program.
I think I may try one of the sweeter products such as the chocolate dip or the maple syrup to use in recipes.
The Thousand Island Salad dressing is my favorite. The Balsalmic dressing is good, and so is the chipotle ranch.
I also like the Sesame Ginger dressing, and use it as my stir fry sauce, and the Asian isn't bad for stir fries either. I tasted some of the dips and they really are nasty.
I have never tried the other stuff but would be interested to hear other reviews!
I love the Pear Balsamic Dressing as well as the Thousand Island Dressing. My husband loves the Italian Dressing. We didn't really care for the Balsamic Dressing. I didn't care for the Bacon Ranch. It's fake bacon flavor really put me off. The worst product I have tried is their Peanut Butter. The texture is a sticky gross goop and it tastes nothing like peanut butter! I can't even begin to tell you how disgusting it was. Their coffee creamers aren't bad but I have grown used to drinking black coffee now. I felt that it more or less tasted like black coffee with a sugar substitute.

One of the few products of theirs that I tried was the Peanut butter and you are right - EWWWW totally gross. The only way I used it up (and it actually wasn't all bad that way) was to mix it with a bit of Franks Hot sauce and soysauce (for my tastes equal parts) and use it as an Indonesian style sauce for veggies or meat.
