UPDATE
DO NOT BUY ON SUBSCRIBE & SAVE OR EITH OTHER PRODUCTS - PLACE A SEPARATE ORDER FOR THESE
Below is my review of the Sun-dried Tomato & Basil crackers. Because I'd had such great luck with those, I ordered some Farmhouse Cheddar flavor as well. They were a bit stale tasting, though the expiration date was a couple of months away. I thought it was just a bad batch so I ordered using Subscribe & Save (pkg of 6 boxes) and they arrived today. Half of them were smashed to smithereens due to Amazon warehouse packaging. When I say smashed, I mean 2 were packaged under a box of 12 cans of Wild Planet tuna (an excellent buy!) and squished so thoroughly that the foil packets inside the boxes burst open and the crackers were all crumbled in the bottom of the shipping box! The 3rd squished box was packed under a 4 pack of canned ravioli (don't judge - I keep it on hand for power outages and hurricane season because it can be opened by pull tab and eaten cold). While the inner pouch had not burst in this one, the box was completely flat and the crackers were reduced to tiny pieces and crumbs. The other three boxes had smooshed corners, etc but I think the content are basically okay.
The moral of the story is buy the well priced multi packs on their own and do NOT buy on Subscribe & Save or to be shipped with anything else. You don't save that much in these with S&S even if they arrived in edible condition.
Delicious and a Great Buy
Simple Mills are my favorite crackers! They are sooo much less expensive on Amazon. These sell at my local stores for double the price per box and are seldom on sale. So much savings - I added them to my Subscribe and Save and ordered some to hold me until then!
I already knew I loved the crackers, so my biggest concern was freshness. My worries were groundless. I ordered them yesterday and received them today (Sun 4/30/23) with a Best By date of 9/3/23 -about 2 months longer than the box I just bought from my local store. They are crisp, fresh, and with almost NO breakage! So no downsides at all - bigger selection, better price, fresher AND almost no broken crackers!
All the flavors are delicious - all are great alone for snacking like the Cheddar, some are also great for adding flavor to a bland accompaniment like Sundried Tomato (eat with hummus or cheese) and some are versatile enough to go with a bowl of soup like the Sea Salt.
I have eaten low carb and keto for a long time and these are a huge convenience. Making crackers isn't my idea of a good time! I'm also gluten sensitive (I've never been tested, but I would even say at least gluten intolerant) and these cause no issues with almond flour as the main flour. They do have some cassava (manioc) flour and tapioca starch, so not the strictest keto, but in small amounts. It's one of the few trade-offs I'm willing to make for convenience.
