Those feels when you live in Africa , this is the best we got .
Unless we purchase Häagen-Dazs which costs equal to around 12 Dollars a for 500ml which is a small one man tub

i would just stick to TH based off what you have said from those 4 brands.
Pumpkin Pie, Double Dunker, Chocolate PB
They offer a decent base + big time swirls
Just like in the supplement industry and food industry. Sometimes paying for a "Cheaper" product does not always equate to great quality, and it could the same way vice versa. Usually the higher end brands use some higher quality ingredients in their ice craem to create a superior product (not always the case)
Example:
MCD Cheeseburgers are 1$, does not mean they are great quality. but hey they are cheap.
Graeters & Ample Hills may cost a bit more but for many they find it superior over breyers, edy's or lower cost generic brands.
To each their own in the end. not everyone has the same taste buds.Last edited by The Solution; 12-15-2015 at 03:34 AM.

Truth , breyers just isn't that good . ITs good if you have kids or your buying whats on sale or looking for something like 80 cals with added fiber thats fat free. But to eat the regular flavors with 180 calories NO THANK YOU.
ED'ys , Turkey Hill, Even Friendly's are all much better value optionsTrying to improve day in and day out.

First let me preface this by saying that I love both Thin Mints and Samoas but those Breyers flavors still suck. When Edy's made them they were so much better, but I digress.
Edy's is better than Breyers, so roll with that when you can.
Turkey Hill is a very solid brand, I'd go with that most of the time. Friendly's is hit or miss (largely miss) but there are some gems in there, namely their LE flavors. I've never had Hood so I can't speak on that. Talenti is one of the best brands you can find in a grocery store.
Do you have a WalMart? Their store brand as well as Sam's Choice have some good flavors, especially for the price.
But yeah, I've had plenty of flavors from Breyers and it's safe to say I'll never try them again."Nutrition for powerlifting: If you are serious about it, you will eat f*cking everything and get strong as $hit." - HamburgerTrain

I agree, Jared.
For cheap options I have had good experiences with Kroger store brand. Their snickerdoodle and fried ice cream flavors are good. TH is another good.
I dont now how prices are around you, but B&J is often on sale for 2/$5, which I think is a good deal. Not all their flavors are great, but they certainly still have some great pints.
Agree that talenti is great. A lot of their flavors are good IMO. Check erics channel for a top 5.

Man you guys are always citing B&J's as being on B1G1 free or 2 for 5 or something...I NEVER see that at any of my stores. I see them marked down to $3.99 a pint on rare days though...usually 4.99 a pint.

Thanks for the tips guys, disappointed to hear that the Breyer's Samoas wasn't very good . I'll pick up some Turkey Hill, glad to hear that the Wal Mart store brand is good wouldn't have figured that, I like Edy's so I'm glad that they're considered OK. Very psyched that the Friendly's LE flavors pass the litmus test, they're a local company so I should be able to track down some of their Egg Nog flavor.
Thanks Ice Cream aficionados!GGG Team>TMT

Awwww manyne...you guys did not mislead me. Finally smashed the new popular kid on the block:
B&J Salted Caramel Brown-ie Ale:
I need to rescoop this one before my opinion is set but easy Top 10 B&J flavor. Per the usual I disagree with OSS, this is NOT a boozy pint: you get a subtle ale aftertaste that works very well with the other components which are left plenty of "tastebud room" to shine. About those those components...
B&J says that it is a salted caramel but I find neither of those words to be correct. It is not salty like the Salted Caramel Core and this is a good thing because that pint is inedible. The second word "caramel" is also not accurate because what they included is "dulce de leche"; caramel is made without milk, dulce de leche is. Take a can of sweetened condensed milk, leave it in simmering water for 3 hours and you will have exactly what B&J used; try it. Dulce de leche happens to be something I fkn love and ate out of the jar as a kid...and adult.
The brownies are not an unfamiliar mix-in but their size, texture, and taste are always appreciated. In this pint, the darker chocolate aspect goes particularly well with the sweet caramel and ale aspects.
From the surveys some of you put up, it looks like awesome flavors are coming down the pike, but the fact that this is a Limited Batch pint is pure cruelty. This weekend I'm picking up at least 6 in case they are gone after the holidays.

Once again, another hellacious review! I have yet to see a negative one yet.. And all the pictures have epic brownies & swirls in them! I have this stocked in my freezer, but still trying to polish off some winter-themed pints first.. I agree with your dulce de leech as well, because this looks a lot darker than a typical caramel swirl.. Glad you enjoyed it! I can't wait to finally get around to this one!

whattttttt @ Banana Cream Pie
I freaking LOVED that pint. Crushed it in one sitting. Yeah, I know Bob keeps saying that Wegman's (which I doubt I'll ever have access to) and 7-Eleven are better, but right now that's one of my favorite Handel's flavors. Tasted like natural banana to me, no chemical or artificial taste.
Safe bets are pretty spot on. Graham Central Station is my favorite...that graham base is perfect.iForce Blueberry Muffin: forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=169778043

There are plenty of times in NY(where I'm from) that Friendly's ,ed's and turkey hill are either 1.99 or 2.50. You can't beat that price, Edy's slow churned or just the normal edy's are fairly creamy and have decent mix ins nothing special. Choc fudge brownie is good, the slow churned caramel is good on macros.
Turkey hill - I like the Light Choc nutty moose tracks, the Pumpkin pie is good, The chocolate peanut butter has HUGE GLOBS of peanut butter but thats it(but huge swirls). I think turkey hill cookie dough is pretty solid, it has a cinnamonish taste I think in the ice cookie dough.
And Turkey hill stuffed Is like a frozen dessert- consistency sort of weird mix ins Ehhh not great but for 160 cals or so not bad at all
Friendly's - I stick to the light vanilla bean- it has few grams of fiber and only 100 cals per serving - NOT BAD
Sea salt Frozen yogurt- truffle mix ins pretty good NO TALENTI but for 130 cals pretty goodTrying to improve day in and day out.

Your review nailed my sentiments about GCS Erick. The crunchy chocolate bits are great, but if it was just the graham base I would still love it.
