I haven't tried that one. I'll give it a try as soon as I get to the store. I'm loving yogurt these days.

I've never tried the Oikos either. That's now on my list. I usually just eat the activia because I love the taste of the vanilla. I'm going to have to start trying more instead of just buying the same each week. lol Thank you ladies for the information!

I only tried the Strawberry one so far, but plan to try many more. I really like the thickness of these greek yogurts!

The Brown Cow Greek yogurt is delicious, too! We tried a sample at Sam's Club. We bought a club pack of fruit on the bottom in strawberry and blueberry flavors right then and there, because it was so good.

Haven't been brave enough to try any Dannon again, after they told me that it's okay for a local grocery store to continue selling Dannon yogurt TWO MONTHS past the best by date....umm, what's the point of a best by date?

Sounds yummy! I checked and there are no stores here that carry that brand.
As for the Dannon yogurt, whoever told you that, I wonder if they are still working at the company...that is totally unacceptable for them to even say that to a consumer!
I found some of the Philly cooking creme out of date at the local grocery store. I told management, right there in front of the case it was in. The next time I shopped, it was still in the case. I again told someone and also told them I had already told them the prior time I shopped and it was STILL in the case....she took it out right there and then! Should not of had to tell them a second time!

It's illegal to sell certain foods past their best buy date, unless it's a seconds grocery store. Also listed on most dairy sites under FAQ's it tells you depending on brand that yogurt is only good for 1 to 2 weeks past the best buy date.

I love Chobani! I use it in a lot of my cooking and to make smoothies. To make healthier version of ranch, I use the 16oz Chobani Plain and add a packet of Ranch.

Bummer that there isn't any Brown Cow yogurt near you. We cruise Sam's Club every visit trying sample after sample, and we rarely are convinced to buy any of the sampled items, but the Brown Cow yogurt was good enough to get me to pry open my purse and buy some

Oh yeah, I knew very well that Dannon's answer was the most bizarre I've ever heard. The answer Dannon gave me left me wondering who on earth writes the customer service rep scripts there. I sent them an e-mail first, and after not receiving an answer for a couple of days, and being such a patient soul , I called them. The woman on the phone told me the product was safe and sent product coupons, which I promptly gave away! Then, I received an answer to the e-mail finally, and they said it was safe, too! Not one crazy answer, but two! Egads, I hope that they don't treat the ingredients they use like that, too--oh, that milk silo wasn't used in order, but, hey, the milk's only two months past best by date, so let's use it. Dannon has a very different view of best by date from the companies I worked for apparently....

I believe it is Yoplait that states it is good for 7 days past the sell by date. A while back I did call Dannon to inquire if their Activia yogurt was also good for 7 days past the date since I had some a few days past and they were kind of wishy-washy with their answer- I think she said as long as it smells and tastes ok it was still good (and she also sent me coupons for contacting them). I just go by the 7 day rule with most brands. This is helpful to know if you can get it on clearance when it is near the date and still have time to use it. But yes that is crazy for them to say 2 MONTHS past .

Speaking of the Chobani, there are printable coupons on their website:

BTW, I purchased the Chobani champions Honey-Nana flavor on clearance with a coupon really cheap (yes, it is for kids, but for that price I didn't care). Well, I will never get it again- it was pretty nasty tasting. I still stand by my comment about the Chobani pineapple yogurt tho- it is awesome!

Thanks for the coupon heads up! I actually like the plain honey I can't imagine it combine with the nana (banana??).
