OK, I don’t often go off the deep end over a new product. That being said, this stuff rocks!!!

David and I recently discovered it at Sam’s Club while we were stocking up for summer at the lake. What’s great about this particular Coffee Mate product is that you do not have to keep it in the refrigerator after it is opened. And, the bottle it comes in is HUGE, which makes it a great bulk buy item that won’t take up room in your fridge. This is more of an issue when you live remotely, as you can’t restock as often and you need to be very particular about what goes in there.

The product is concentrated, so one pump equals one tub of the stuff that you would normally get at a restaurant table. The pump bottle is really sturdy, so it’s great for re-use as a container for shampoo, conditioner, liquid soap, ranch dressing, etc. The pump also helps with portion control, which is really great if you have teenagers in the house. (Imagine having a bottle of shampoo or salad dressing that can now last more than one serving if you have a growing boy at home.)

So far, I’m digging everything about this product. We’ve had our first bottle for almost a month, and we have about 25 percent left in the bottle. Believe me, I go through creamer at an alarmingly fast rate, so this is great news! I don’t know that I would leave an open bottle on the counter over the winter when the property is closed up. I’m sure there’s a time limit on using it, healthwise. But the unopened ones are good to store on your pantry shelf, and the open one has been doing fine next to our coffee maker for several weeks now. If you have any experience with this product, feel free to sound off!
