Has anyone tried any Safeway Select Great Escapes ice cream?
I haven't tried any, but I'm going to buy some Florentine Tiramisu Treat tomorrow (Tiramisu ice cream with coffee fudge rum swirl & tiramisu cake) and was wondering if anyone has tried this or other flavors and liked them.

2. I've found that to be very true
So I'm kinda trusting that their premium ice cream won't disappoint.

9. Yup, butterfat
I'm guessing that there's a standardized percentage for "premium" ice creams. And the only "premium" brand I really dislike is Haagen Daz.

4. Wow...
So your thinking about 'buying' something tomorrow and you know the brand (correctly placed in the subject header), you know the product name (properly capitalized), and placed a picture of said product and you are asking for feedback?

Guess what I am doing...

8. Yeah, that's right
I happen to research every friggin' thing for the weekly grocery shopping trip on Thursday because I'm on a very limited budget due to my spouse's two years of unemployment, so even a rare, one time "treat" has got to be worth the money and preferably on sale as well. Thanks for taking all of the enjoyment out of my atypical indulgence...

10. LOL...
Nice guilt trip...poor, destitude, Tiramisu...yeah we've all been there.

But no dice darlin'--everyone watches their pennies these daze and everyone 'researches' their budgets--but hint hint poor folks just buy the generic tub for the comfort food fix ;-)

5. You're one of those robot drone marketer robot enthusiast drones?
Thanks for coming here to keep me busy.

I had been on the verge of distress, but now I know which product to purchase.

6. Yowsa...
I happen to love Tiramisu and was wondering about a brand that ain't Ben and Jerry's (for all I know, they might do private label for Safeway). A little paranoid? Sheesh.
