I tried 5 vanilla iced coffees from the grocery store. They'd all save me money, but a few stood out above the rest.
Like most of us, I know making coffee at home could save me money. However, if doing so takes too much time and the results aren't even that delicious, are those savings even worth it? So, I tested out five premade vanilla iced coffee drinks from the grocery store in hopes that at least one could be a worthy replacement for my drive-thru habit. To see how much I could actually save, I compared the cost of a 12-ounce cup of each to what I usually pay for roughly the same thing while out. For reference, a 12-ounce iced coffee with vanilla syrup and milk is about $3.75 at my local Starbucks. Here's how the coffee drinks stacked up. I liked the price of Coffee Mate's French vanilla iced coffee, but I wouldn't get it again. I've had Coffee Mate's creamers before, but this was my first time trying its iced coffee. The French vanilla iced coffee rang up at $4.49 for 50 ounces, about $1.08 per 12-ounce serving, making it one of the least expensive options I tried. The vanilla flavor tasted a little unnatural and a bit too artificial to me, and the coffee left an almost chalky aftertaste in my mouth. This was my least favorite coffee of the bunch. I wasn't super impressed by the Dunkin' iced coffee. The French vanilla Dunkin' iced coffee was only available in single-serve bottles at my local Walmart. One 13.7-ounce bottle was $2.98 — based on the price per ounce, a 12-ounce pour would cost about $2.64. Of the coffees I tried, this cost the most per ounce, though it's worth noting this price may have been lower if I'd been able to find a larger bottle. I appreciated that this coffee had real milk in it, but I felt it also had a slightly artificial vanilla taste. I wasn't particularly impressed by the price or the flavor. International Delight's vanilla iced coffee had a good coffee flavor. In terms of price per ounce, the least expensive option I sampled was International Delight's vanilla iced coffee. I paid $4.86 for a 64-ounce carton, so a 12-ounce serving cost about $0.96. I'd be able to drink four cups of this for the price of just one vanilla Starbucks iced coffee, which felt impressive. The vanilla flavor wasn't overwhelming, and this coffee didn't taste as sweet as some of the other options. I appreciated the subtle flavor, and I'd drink this again, especially at this great price point. I loved that I could add my own milk to Cafe Bustelo's vanilla iced coffee. Cafe Bustelo 's vanilla iced coffee cost me $5.99 for 40 ounces, or roughly $1.80 per 12-ounce serving. This was the only option I tested that didn't have milk or cream in it. In my opinion, the coffee didn't have much of a vanilla flavor. This may be because the base seemed to be more concentrated (espresso) than some of the other drinks I tried. However, I prefer a subtle vanilla flavor over an overwhelming one, so this was a win for me. The coffee was smooth, and I really liked that I could control how much milk or cream to add to it — or that I could drink it black. I'd absolutely buy this again. Starbucks' vanilla Frappuccino chilled coffee drink tasted like I could've ordered it from the drive-thru. A four-pack of Starbucks vanilla Frappuccino chilled coffee drinks cost me $7.78. Each bottle was 9.5 ounces, which would make a 12-ounce serving about $2.40. Although Frappuccino is in the name of this drink, this isn't a milkshake-like beverage like the ones at Starbucks locations. It's more of a milky iced coffee. And, in my opinion, this vanilla coffee drink tasted the best by far. I don't think I'd be able to tell the difference between a cup of this and a vanilla iced coffee from my local Starbucks. This was my favorite pick, and it felt like the best compromise — it really tasted like something I'd ordered from a barista, not poured at home. Although Starbucks was my winner, I'm glad I found several iced-coffee options I like — now, I'm confident I can still have a great drink at home for a lower cost.

More than 75k International Delight creamers recalled in 31 states, including New Jersey
More than 75,000 bottles of International Delight creamer are being recalled across numerous states, the Food and Drug Administration announced. Information published online by the FDA reveals that International Delight's parent company, Danone, initiated the voluntary recall after receiving complaints of spoilage and illness with use of the recalled products, which include International Delight's Cinnabon cinnamon roll and hazelnut flavored creamers. "International Delight is aware of a texture issue that some consumers have experienced with two of our creamers," said a representative from Danone North America in an emailed statement. "We take every concern to heart, because this is not the quality we strive for." Per the company's statement, a limited number of products failed to meet quality standards due to "premature spoilage manifesting as a texture issue." However, testing data confirmed that this is not a food safety issue. "We chose to voluntarily recall these isolated products out of an abundance of caution while we address the quality issue," reads the FDA labeled this recall as Class II, which indicates "a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote." Two flavors of International Delight creamers have been recalled, according to the FDA, including: Cinnabon Classic Cinnamon Roll International Delight Coffee Creamer: 7,747 six-pack cases of 32 oz (1 qt) bottles. The recalled bottles have a best-used-by-date of July 3, 2025, and a producing plant code of 51-4114 S The recall number is F-0625-2025 The UPC is 0 41271 01993 3 Hazelnut International Delight Coffee Creamer: 4,762 six-pack cases of 32 oz (1qt) bottles.

Coffee creamer recalled due to 'texture issue.' What to know in Tennessee
Looking to put some creamer in your morning (or afternoon) coffee? Make sure it's not part of the latest food recall. More than 75,000 bottles of International Delight creamer are being recalled in multiple states across the U.S. including Tennessee, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced this week. The voluntary recall comes after the Colorado based company received "complaints of spoilage and illness with the use of the products," according to a statement from the FDA. The parent company of International Delight, Danone, is based in Louisville, Colo. "International Delight is aware of a texture issue that some consumers have experienced with two of our creamers," Danone North America said in a Friday statement obtained by USA TODAY. "We take every concern to heart, because this is not the quality we strive for." Here's what Tennesseans need to know. Two flavors in the quart size from the widely popular creamer brand are being recalled, Hazelnut and Cinnabon Classic Cinnamon Roll coffee creamer. Here's the details: Hazelnut International Delight Coffee Creamer: 32 oz (1 qt) bottles. The product has a best-used-by-date of July 3, 2025. The recall number is: F-0626-2025 The UPC is: 0 41271 02565 2 Cinnabon Classic Cinnamon Roll International Delight Coffee Creamer: 32 oz (1 qt) bottles. The product has a best-used-by-date of July 2, 2025 The recall number is: F-0625-2025 The UPC is: 0 41271 01993 3 The recall isn't due to a pathogen or bacteria, but due to a quality issue, according to the statement from the company. "While we know this is disappointing for our creamer fans, testing data has confirmed that this is not a food safety issue," read the statement. "We chose to voluntarily recall these isolated products out of an abundance of caution while we address the quality issue." The issue with the two products could cause premature spoilage. The FDA report, that was published online Wednesday, indicated that some people had become sick, but the amount of people it has affected was not included. If you did consume the creamer and begin to feel ill, seek medical attention, the FDA warns. The products were shipped to various stores in Tennessee and 30 other states across the country, according to the FDA notice. The states affected include: Alabama Arkansas Colorado Connecticut Florida Georgia Illinois Indiana Kentucky Louisiana Maryland Maine Michigan Minnesota Missouri Mississippi North Carolina Nebraska New Hampshire New Jersey New Mexico New York Ohio Oklahoma Pennsylvania South Carolina Tennessee Texas Virginia Wisconsin Wyoming If you have either of the two creamers, the FDA says toss it. Consumers who are currently experiencing an issue with the product can contact the International Delight Consumer Care Line at 1-(800)-441-3321. USA TODAY contributed to this story.
