If you’re a fan of Keebler, you know these hardworking Elves never take a day off. The little bakers are busy up in the Hollow Tree, bringing us the classics we love, including Fudge Stripes, Double Fudge Fudge Stripes, and Sandies. Lucky for us, it doesn't seem like they are taking a vacation this summer. That means all the more confections for us to enjoy. In May, Ernie and the Elves gave us the new E.L. Fudge Choco Vanilla Cookies that we can’t stop buying.

Grouping vegetables by their water needs can simplify garden maintenance and improve overall plant health in drier environments.

Its private house brands shouldn't be overlooked either. While there are dozens of Great Value gems, Walmart's newer brand, Bettergoods, is making waves, too.

Walmart debuted its private-label grocery line Bettergoods in 2024, which is also the “breakout star” of our Golden Cart Awards.

I’ve never been a huge soda drinker, even as a kid. Typically, I’m sipping on still water all day to stay hydrated, but when I'm in the mood for a real treat, I reach for something sparkling. And, yes, it’s just as hydrating. I’m a traditional sparkling water gal who enjoys adding a slice of lime to make it feel fancy, but with so many flavors from PepsiCo’s Bubly brand, it’s hard not to want to experiment and change things up.

This snack brand has come a long way since I first enjoyed its peanuts as a kid. It seems like there is always something new to try, like its Nut Duos, which feature an array of savory, sweet, and spicy combinations, and the seasonal Apple Cider Donut Cashews and Pumpkin Spice Almonds that pop up every fall. Now, Planters is releasing a new nut mix that's perfect for summer, and I can't wait to get my hands on it.
