I love V8.
Always have.
I even like the new fruity versions.
They're all pretty handy when my diet is lagging.

(146,218 posts)The fuss is that they have a great selection of good foods, many packaged under their own label and less expensive than elsewhere.
While not a fan of their produce or fresh meats, I love these things:
cheese
bread
premade foods
juices
cereal
coffee
dairy products, including great yogurts and cream
some of their frozen foods
cookies
crackers
nut butters
condiments and sauces
dried fruits and nuts
and
fabulous wine selection, including 2-buck chuck, the Charles Shaw varieties
Plus they are a friendly and fun place to shop with good music and great employee attitude.
I only get there every couple of months, but when I do, I really stock up.
OMG.... mention anything cheese and I am there!!

(237 posts)is they unload the shopping cart for you. When you're old and creaky, that matters.
They have a number of products that I really like. However, it's not a one stop shopping store. Their inventory is limited. So I go there periodically and stock up.
Plus every day they have yummy samples.

(135,060 posts)I have it every morning with lemon and sometimes for an afternoon pick me up. I'm not a big fan of the fruity versions but my kids love them, especially the Lite Peach Mango.

(47,675 posts)I still add some Tabasco and freshly cracked black pepper, but it's about as perfect as you get.

(50,130 posts)It makes the perfect snack alongside some crackers and cheese. Two servings of vegetables with your snack! Whee!
I've been trying to have more than one glass a day. The potassium content is very substantial.
I drink the low sodium variety.
It also makes a great base for gazpacho.

(43,049 posts)it was pretty good. I just went with the ingredients listed on the label and played around with the blender until I got something I liked.
Then I played around with some more flavors.
