A Holiday Suggestion (and Also a Money Saving Tip)

Here's a suggestion from Free Money Finance that is bound to make your holiday festivities (translation: eating) much, much better.

As you're probably aware, our main sponsor is Moose Tracks ice cream. But here's what you're probably not aware of concerning Moose Tracks:

• Moose Tracks is vanilla ice cream filled with delicious, chewy chocolate fudge and mini peanut butter cups.
• The ice cream that you've heard of that is most similar in style to Moose Tracks: Ben and Jerry's.
• Average cost of Ben and Jerry's ice cream based on A.C. Nielsen data: $3.16 per pint (16 oz.).
• Average cost of Moose Tracks ice cream based on A.C. Nielsen data: $3.77 per "half gallon" (60 oz. -- average).
• Cost per ounce of Ben and Jerry's: $0.198
• Cost per ounce of Moose Tracks: $0.063

Conclusion: The great taste of Moose Tracks costs less than a third of Ben and Jerry's.

I'm inviting you to buy some Moose Tracks this holiday season and try it for yourself. Not only will your taste buds thank you, but your budget will too. ;-)

I'm definitely going to try some eventually. Your marketing tricks are working! lol.

I was in the supermarket with my girlfriend, and while in the ice cream section, I spotted Moose Track and said aloud "Ooh Moose Track Ice Cream!"

"What about them" the gf asked.

"Ah, well I havent try them yet.. but this guy that has this blog online, um, he works there."

yeah so she looked at me funny, but I'm going to grab one eventually during the next ice cream craving.

Ha! You crack me up!

Let me know what you think of it when you give it a try. ;-)

I positively love, love, love Moose Tracks! It is the best. And trust me, I am a real chocoholic (have been to chocolate weekends, chocholate cruises, been on taste tests, etc.) The strips of dark chocolate in their ice cream have the best flavor, even - dare I say - beating Ben & Jerry's!

Man, what do they pay you to make you say this? "Moose Tracks is vanilla ice cream filled with delicious, chewy chocolate fudge and mini peanut butter cups."

Who talks like this?

Try it and see if you don't break into the same sort of melodious tones. ;-)

Moose Tracks is one of my favorites - and the description is apt - but I gotta ask - when was it created or introduced? When I was a kid, all ice cream flavors were, well, simple and basic. It wasn't until the 1980s that I had ever heard of Moose Tracks.

Was there some sort of proliferation of flavors I missed?

I know... it's called an IP/cookie.

I like the ice cream, it ranks in my top 10 probably...

But being that your whole site is about cutting pennies from your budget... I am surprised you recommend buying Moose Tracks when you can just get 5 gallon generic tubs for less/ounce.

Maybe. But you can't get indulgent ice cream (which many people like better) for less.
