DRINKS

Found this coffee and it is VERY VERY good. 100% Arabica beans. Should definitely try it if you're a coffee lover who wants coffee for a good price and tired of the crappy stuff.
(Only about $4.50 for 12oz bag at Walmart).
---Dunkin Donuts is awesome good quality, expensive coffee and is 100% Arabica beans as well...

Tired of Swiss Miss hot chocolate? Found this Cold Stone kind at Walmart. Very good with 6oz of warm milk. Mmm!!
