  • Kroger Co. recently offered discounts on several private brand dressings, marinades and other barbecue essentials, including Simple Truth Organic Sesame Teriyaki and Cilantro Lime marinades.
  • E-commerce company Gopuff has partnered with McConnell’s Fine Ice Creams for a summer-inspired PB&J ice cream that’s sold exclusively on Gopuff. The special edition ice cream features Santa Barbara strawberries, peanut butter and house-made white bread stirred into ice cream.
