    Week Four’s Story:

    After an incredible four-week journey, Post 4 was all about our Simple Truthers giving us the low down on their honest opinions of the Checkers Simple Truth range. Was it a yay or a nay? Were they going to repurchase these products? Were there any Simple Truth products they would like to try out on their next Checkers grocery run? We wanted to know it all! We asked and our Simple truthers delivered in their final wrap up posts and reviews.

    About Simple Truth

    Living well is not always easy (on us or our wallets 😩). Work, family, daily responsibilities, gym, meal prep – ugh! So much to do, so little time. Simple Truth by Checkers gets it. That’s why they created a range of products that span across all food and household categories – from peanut butter to all-purpose cleaner! They pride themselves on being affordable, accessible, and made from real, familiar ingredients you can actually pronounce. No added MSG, artificial colours, flavours, or sweeteners – just the simple, transparent truth with a side of convenience at a price that fits your budget.
