Paleo Mama Bakery Magic Bars
These little bars may be small but they are so good and so worth it! They taste so good that you will be shocked that they are paleo, gluten-free, and grain-free! I don't adhere to any of those diets, but every now and then I just have to buy a package of these. They have clean ingredients and are locally made—what's not to love! East and West only.
Ferndale Smoked Turkey (sliced from the Deli)
I never used to care much for turkey sandwich meat until I tried this smoked turkey! Now I use it any chance I get—or turkey and Swiss sandwiches/melts, on top of a bagel with cream cheese, as even tossed into an omelet! It is a staple in my house, for sure!
Milton Creamery Prairie Breeze
This is one of my absolute favorite cheeses we sell! I am always a fan of a sharp cheddar, and this one has a really wonderful bite to it while still being sweeter than a normal aged cheddar. It also has those little calcium crystals from the aging process that add a bit of crunch. I usually just eat it with crackers, but it goes great anywhere you would normally use cheddar!
Desert Essence Ultra Hydrating with Shea Butter Lip Rescue
It's that time of year... and time to make sure you have chapstick with you 24/7. I've been buying this particular chapstick for years and have no desire to ever switch or try anything new! It works very well and very quickly!
Guayaki Revel Berry Yerba Mate
I have one of these almost every morning and the Revel Berry is my favorite. The amount of caffeine in them is enough to wake me up and sees me through the whole day. I also love the flavor—it's honestly more like juice than tea, so if you're not sure about the tea aspect, give it a try anyway and you won't be disappointed! When they go on sale you can absolutely find me buying a case or two!
Feel Good Foods Chicken and Vegetable Egg Rolls
These are some of the best freezer egg rolls I have ever had! I really like both the chicken and vegetable varieties. They are awesome in the oven at home, or if you are lucky enough to have a toaster oven at work, they are perfect for lunch! I honestly can eat them plain, but a little bit of soy sauce is also perfect for these. They knock those mini egg rolls from other brands out of the park!
Noah
Soul Brew Kombucha
Enjoy some outstanding kombucha while also supporting a Black woman-owned local business! The flavors are unlike any kombucha I've tried before. Worth every penny!
Tara
Klarbrunn Cherry Lime Sparkling Water
If you're trying to transition away from sugary drinks, especially soda, I think this is a great sparkling water to try that's on the less expensive side. It's fruity and refreshing with a bold cherry and lime flavor. I like to have it in my fridge at all times when I want something fun to drink during the afternoon slump. Grab one can to try in our beverage cooler!
Angelica
Hi Ball Watermelon
Hi Ball hit the sweet spot on this one. No sugar (thus avoiding the crash), yet easy to drink. By far, the most palatable Hi Ball. If you need a serious pick-me-up, this is your answer!
Megan
Yumbutter Superfood Almond Butter
The extra ingredients lend a unique taste and a burst of super food-energy. Elevates PB&Js, French toast, and celery.
Steffry
El Rey Lemon Nacho Tostaditas Chips
The nacho lemon flavor is DELICIOUS!!! They are great for dipping with my favorite Salpica Hot Chipotle Garlic, Off The Block Salsa, or just plain!
Salpica Hot Chipotle Garlic Salsa
The smoky garlic flavor is addicting! The salsa is not too chunky and not too runny. It really is the perfect salsa with the El Rey Lemon Nacho Tostaditas!
Patrick
Sno-Pac Frozen Veggies, all kinds
When I need a frozen veggie, it's always Sno-Pac for me. The quality and "freshness" just seems to be a bit better than some others. Plus ALL Sno-Pac varieties are ALWAYS sourced from the U.S. Nothing from China or South America here.
Mindy
REBBL Vanilla Spice Protein
When roller derby practice ends late in the evening, I need post-exercise fuel, but I don't want to eat a full meal before getting into bed. REBBL has the calories and protein that I need without weighing me down. The ashwaghanda is an added bonus, helping to calm my body and my mind and allow me to get to sleep at the right time.
Caitlyn
Citra Solv Multi-Purpose Cleaner
Get your spring cleaning on with this high-quality, clean-smelling, plant-based, biodegradable multi-purpose cleaner.
Kelly
Quorn Meatless Patties
These Quorn patties are easy to make and taste great alone or as a sandwich. I can just pop them in the toaster oven and they’re done in 20 minutes. My kids love them with honey and I love to make them into a sandwich. Good source of protein and soy-free. When they are on sale they are only 50 cents each so they make a nice cheap meal.
Joe
Siggi's Triple Cream Vanilla Icelandic Yogurt
When I indulge in yogurt, I look for a higher fat content. This one fits the bill, has simple ingredients, and tastes awesome.
Benjamin
Willy Street Co-op Organic Date Coconut Rolls
These are soft, chewy, and delicious! These rolls satisfy the craving for a sweet snack and they are an organic whole food.
Kelsey
Flipside Hats Face Mask
I have quite a few cloth face coverings at this point, and my favorites are from Flipside Hats. They are made of a soft material with a bit of stretch and constructed so that there is space between mask and mouth. The ear loops are stretchy enough to be comfortable but still keep the mask fitted to my face. They come in a variety of colors and patterns.
Laura
Underground Meats 'Nduja
A spicy pork spread that is perfect with a slice of cheese on crackers. Careful, or you'll eat it all in one sitting! (Which I have never done... never.......)
Garden of Life Vegan D3 Spray
This is a super yummy and cost-effective way to get your daily dose of D3! Just one squirt gets you 1,000 iu for 125 servings per bottle! Double or triple the dose as you wish. The D3 is sourced from lichen instead of wool and is sweetened with stevia making this a low-sugar vegan treat. Pro tip: squirt this and Garden of Life's Vegan B-12 into your mouth at the same time...it tastes like cheesecake!

Booda Butter Daily Moisturizer
Booda Butter gets my skin through the long, dry Wisconsin winters. It's more effective than any other lotion/balm/butter I've used on my hands and it smells amazing. The unrefined organic cocoa butter gives it a light, natural chocolate aroma (I think it smells like brownies). I love that it's vegan, organic, fragrance- and dye-free, and only has five ingredients.
Forrest
Willy Street Co-op Pizza Dough and Pizza Sauce
Almost every week I find and easy, affordable meal to make using these locally produced products. I've found that the size of packaged dough and sauce makes two or more pizzas for a lot less than delivery. Best yet, you can clear out the leftovers in your fridge on top of a pizza! (Cooks well on a cookie sheet with oil. Put the cheese on last after 5-8 minutes of cooking time for best results.)
Acure Shampoo and Conditioner
This is absolutely the best shampoo and conditioner I've ever used. The shampoo gets your hair completely clean with a pleasant gentle fragrance. Its 100% vegan and free from chemical additives some conventional shampoos use. The conditioner is nothing short of amazing, apply a small amount to your hair and then add a tiny bit of water before finishing to rub it in. Leave it in for 2 minutes or more for the best results. It rinses out easily unlike other conditioners I’ve used and leaves your hair moist, silky, and not bogged down. After switching to Acure you’ll never want to use anything else again!

TDE Tangerines
These tangerines are simply magnificent. I believe their bright flavor is best enjoyed in the bowels of winter, to alleviate the symptoms of SAD (S.easonal A.ffective D.isorder). They also remind me of the record label Top Dawg Entertainment (T.D.E.).
Dustin
Shallots
King of the Onion; these will take many dishes to the next level of flavor town. Try caramelizing these with a pale ale and some sugar and you'll have a new favorite topping for fish or poultry.
Piper
Willy Street Co-op Fudgy Flourless Brownies
Crisp, crunchy top, rich fudgy chocolate middle. They are my favorite brownies in town! And they are GF!
Amanda
Renard's Cheese Original Cheese Curds
These curds are squeaky fresh, and if you are from Wisconsin you know what I mean. We get these local curds in weekly on Wednesdays. These come from Door County and I have been eating them since I was a kid traveling to visit family in Baileys Harbor. Now I don't have to travel so far, they come to us.
