Thank-you for visiting Donna Reish.com. If you are reading this post, you are probably a subscriber who received my e-book, Sugar-Free Solutions, as a free gift. I hope you like it and are learning a lot!
One of the frustrating things for me as I started my sugar-free journey was definitely securing the products I needed in order to make the recipes and ideas that I found. I am not a store-hopper. I don’t like to go to more than one store in a week (with an Amazon order thrown in most weeks!). It goes back to my efficiency-expert-wanna-be ambitions—shopping feels like a waste of time since it takes so much time.
Thus, I always appreciate it when recipes have affiliate links! First, I like to support the person who gave me that great substitute for peanut butter pie! 🙂 Secondly, I like to click, order, and have it in two days without going out to several stores and potentially still not finding the right product.
Sure, there are some things that I get locally. If I go to Wal-mart, I always get Pyure (though I have a standing order from Amazon for that). If I go to Sam’s, I always get the Carb Balance Mission tortillas. If I go to Kroger, I always get some Lily’s chocolate.
But more often than not, I just order what I need at the beginning of the week, and the items are here in plenty of time for my Friday recipe testing.
So….here is a convenient list of products that are given in Sugar-Free Solutions with their Amazon links. I hope this is a help to you in your sugar-free, healthy journey!
Blessings to you as you seek to “feel great and live well,”

Whish my Kroger’s carried Lilly ‘s Chocolate. They only carry Enjoy Life.
I get so frustrated with stores carrying this but not that, etc. I find that I order a lot of my ingredients on Amazon because of the time that I had to waste going from store to store! I’ve never had the Enjoy Life ones. Do they compare to Lilly’s?
