And I'm saving money. Coming in at number two is mush protein bar minis. 50 cents off is nice and so is the ingredient list, my friends. organic oats, peanuts. The milk protein is non-GMO. We do the research as usual. And it has coconut oil. Even the chocolate chips are sweetened with coconut sugar. High five. We get eight grams of protein, 2 g of fiber in this little mini. Yes, and I love me some peanut butter. Coming in at number three is real extra virgin olive oil in the glass bottles for over $3 off. Most extravirgin olive oil is fake.
