When it comes to saving money, I am always looking for the best deals possible for my family, especially when it comes to grocery staples in our home.  Whether browsing newspaper ads, browsing online specials, or trying to snag a great coupon or 2, I always seem to be on the hunt to save money.  So when I heard Equal Sweetener was on Rollback at Walmart for only $7.97, I was impressed.  Lucky for me, I had a shop with Collective Bias so it was the perfect time to enjoy some savings and create a recipe sweet enough for my whole family to enjoy. Prior to any shopping trip, I always make a list. I either keep a list posted on the fridge throughout the week to update any necessary items or I find recipes beforehand that I really want to make and create a list from that.  Since Valentine’s Day is coming up, I ended up creating my list based on a sweet treat I found on the Equal Canada Facebook Page. The list itself was rather short, which is always nice especially when baking. The less ingredients you need to purchase to make a yummy treat is always a plus!

We ended up at Walmart after we picked our Son up from preschool and started our adventure.  We started at the produce section and quickly discovered that they were completely out of fresh blueberries. So thanks to some quick decision making, my Husband snagged some strawberries instead. We then turned our attention to finding Equal Sweetener. We assumed that we would find it in the sugar/sweetener section, but quickly discovered we were wrong. It took asking an employee for help, before we realized that Equal was located over by the pharmacy. I will admit that I would have never thought of it being over there. I am so used to using sweeteners for baking that I couldn’t picture them anywhere else, but in the baking section. So, we headed over to the pharmacy and found the Yellow Equal Cook and Bake Canister on rollback for $7.97!

The Equal was toward the front of the aisle on several shelves, since Equal has quite a few different options in regards to how you want to purchase it. I wanted the canister style because it measures cup for cup just like sugar and it makes it super easy to scoop out for recipes! I loved the size of the canister as well because it will last me a good while. My Daughter was even having a great time shopping, so she decided she wanted to pose for the camera!

We ended up getting our grocery list, minus the lemon and lemon-flavored yogurt, because I had to make a few changes to the recipe since I would now be using strawberries instead of blueberries.  We also ended up with cat food and a few more grocery items that caught our attention during our adventure through the store. Once home, I got the opportunity to try out my modified recipe using Equal and it was beyond delicious!

I made a Strawberry Mousee that my children couldn’t seem to get enough of! I used 1 cup of Plain Greek Yogurt mixed with 2 tablespoons of Equal Sweetner and then layered in strawberries and topped it with sugar-free whipped topping! My shopping trip was a success and my Strawberry Mousee is definitely an #EqualCanada sweet treat perfect for Valentine’s Day!
