What I have found about the 2026 Spring Exposition Tasting Ticket so far.
This Tasting Ticket will be available April 2nd - May 4th.
Please add your own photos, and reviews, the portion size you received, and pictures of prices to help this thread tremendously.
For complete, comprehensive guide to how to use my Tasting Tickets guide, and how Tasting Tickets work refer to my guide linked below -
https://www.facebook.com/share/p/7PoGyBRaRX98zJQP/?mibextid=oFDknk
This guide is written with the information I have on Tasting Tickets before this year, things may be different this year, I will update information as I learn it.
If things go as previous years, some items on the Tasting Ticket will be full size, the same size you would receive if you bought it without using a Tasting Ticket, other items will be smaller. My guide is to help you see which items will be full size, and which items are smaller portions when using the Tasting Ticket.
If you are looking for the best values on the Tasting Ticket, you can follow my post for items that are at least 7.60 or more without the Tasting Ticket, and only use your Tasting Ticket for those items. Anything below 7.60 dollars, or not full size it may be a better value for you to buy outright and not use a scan on your Ticket for.
Look in the link below for what I think the best values are and how to get the best bang for your buck for this Season's Tasting Ticket. As well as what my personal favorites are or are predicted to be.
