Dollar Tree carrying sugar free syrups!

Howdy! I just wanted to pass along that our local Dollar Tree store is carrying 12.5 oz sugar free syrups!! They are called Cafe al Fresco. Granted, all they have is hazelnut and vanilla, but that is a bunch of money I don't have to spend on DaVinci (figuring i need two of the dollar store ones to make one large DaVinci I'm still getting about 6 dollar savings per bottle if I factor in shipping!). Funny thing is they do not obviously say sugar free on them. I just happened to pick it up to check calories and the calories were 0! Then I checked ingredients and it is made with sucralose (splenda), so I am even more excited because I am not a fan of aspartame. I tasted them and I really can't taste a difference between DaVinci and them. I'm going to load up!

Get there quick before word gets out! :)

Yeah I got some of those at Dollar General. 

Me no likey.

I looked at the ingredients and saw why. Aspartame! Blech!

But if you like sweet 'n low...go for it!!!

No, these are sucralose--Splenda! No funky aspartame (or formaldahyde as I call it) taste. Let me know if you want me to grab you a couple to try. 6 bucks less!!! I'll be able to afford that tummy tuck in no time! :)

I'll have to check out my local Dollar Tree and see if they have any. Thanks for the heads up!

I bought some of the Hazelnut flavor at my Dollar Tree and I couldn't stand it. It was the same brand you have and it has Splenda, too. It just didn't taste right to me.

Oh no. Sorry you didn't like it! I put it in my tea tonight (I make a vanilla caramel tea) and it was yummy.

Thanks for another opinion!
