I got a free sample but have bought several more pints since, with $1 off coupons. I love the Hot Chocolate flavor the best, it has no coffee. Next is the Caramel Macchiato, very yummy. Of course you can get 1.5 quarts of ice cream for about the same price as this but this is really good, creamy, flavorful ice cream - a nice treat. And the less you buy, the less you eat. ;) Try it!
