Despar Desideri Panna Cotta and caramel ice cream 200g
This week all Despar brand products were on discount at Despar discount. I get their pamphlet at home every 2 weeks when they change the stuff that’s on discount and this week I saw that you could get 2 Despar products for the price of one. I was most …
Aspen Cider Spices, Original Spice Blend
This exceptional, original spice blend is a marvelous mix of sugar, dextrose, extractives of cinnamon, cloves, annatto, lemon, orange, nutmeg, and caramel color. Now I do not want to daunt you, but although annatto is commonly used in food, it can cause allergic reactions to some sensitive people; however, …
Bucky Badger Cheese Puffs
I recently purchased a bag of Bucky Badger Cheese Puffs for my family to snack on during movie night. They were cheaper than the other brands that were available and I figured there wouldn’t be much difference in taste.
I was sure wrong about that.
These are some of the most …
Nature’s Own Brown Rice Instant Cereal with Spirulina
I like to have a healthy beverage for breakfast to help me kickstart the day, and I think Nature’s Own Brown Rice Instant Cereal with Spirulina makes a good one.
It is easy to prepare: just stir one sachet with 200ml of warm water (each …
Tanqueray London Dry Gin
Tanqueray is the classic gin and as far as I know it is everybody’s favorite; it’s certainly mine. It is a real classic but it is expensive. Normally I dock products for being too expensive, but in this case I won’t for one major reason: cheap gin …
Pinahs Rye Chips —“ Garlic
Pinahs Rye Chips —“ Garlic is my favorite of the four flavors available. I had a feeling that I would really enjoy this flavor because I really enjoy garlic in general, and I was pleased to find that the makers of this chip treated the chips with a generous …
Stash Blackcurrant Iced Tea bags (gallon size)
I’ve long been a fan of flavored black teas, and black currant in particular. Lately I have been trying various brands to see if I can find an affordable replacement for Twinings brand, who changed their formula much to their fans dissatisfaction.
Stash has been a brand …
Totino’s Combination Pizza Rolls
These pizza rolls are positively horrid on all accounts. There’s not one redeeming quality that springs to mind when I think back to the time I gave these a one and only try. I like pizza, but just good pizza, and this is not what I consider to be …
Thomas’ English Muffins
I love to eat Thomas’ English Muffins. These things are just delightful. I love to eat every nook and cranny with butter on top. The great thing about these muffins is you can eat them many different ways.
I like to eat mine toasted with butter on top. I also …
Craisins (Ocean Spray)
I love craisins!! Otherwise know as dried cranberries there name is so cute as it implies dried cranberry raisins. I use them almost every day. I put them in my salads, I mix them in with nuts and other dried fruit for kids/hubby’s lunch snacks and I put some …
Breakfast Best Scrambled Eggs, Hash Browns & Sausage
Breakfast Best Scrambled Eggs, Hash Browns & Sausage is a frozen breakfast combo that’s sold at ALDI Food Market stores for one dollar and nineteen cents. For one dollar and nineteen cents, a generous amount of food comes in a package, I think. The eggs come already scrambled, but …
Mrs. Freshley’s Old Fashioned Brownie
Here is yet another brownie from Mrs. Freshley’s that I simply did not find all that remarkable or satisfying at all. Mrs. Freshley’s Old Fashioned Brownie is a little different from the other brownies made by the company, but I must stress the word “little”. I really do not …
Yoplait Strawberry
Yoplait Strawberry is another one of my top favorites of yogurt, along with the French Vanilla and Banana Creme varieties. The reason this variety ranks high with me is because I really like strawberries - be it just strawberries themselves, or strawberry ice cream or strawberry shortcake, whatever. If …
Nestle Coffeemate
I usually have a cup of coffee first thing in the morning and sometimes late at night while working on projects for school and work. I happen to think that it is the creamer that makes the coffee taste good or bad.
I decided to try Coffee mate creamer …
Stouffer’s Pepperoni Bread Pizza
I like Stouffer’s food: I think it’s the best in term of quality and taste. I saw a pizza in the grocery store when I browsing the “junk food” aisle. The thing that caught my attention about the Stouffer’s pepperoni bread pizza is that the crust of the pizza …
Maruchan Beef Flavored Ramen Noodle Soup
My favorite lunch is soup and a sandwich, but I’m presently on a tight budget, so I’m happy to have a low-cost alternative to fall back on. Canned soups’ prices have escalated recently, so they’re not the bargain as before. I still stock up when they go on sale, …

Hostess Green Lantern GloBalls
Hostess Green Lantern GloBalls are really, really sweet! This is perhaps one of the sweetest and most sugary snacks that Hostess has ever come up with. There’s marshmallow, there’s coconut, there’s a rich and creamy center and there’s chocolate too. This is one snack cake that is absolutely loaded, …
C2 Green Tea Apple
If before I like the taste of C2 now I hate it. I heard a news that drinking flavored drink everyday has a bad side effect in your liver or can also cause cancer. True or not, I stopped drinking C2 and other flavored drink. Now that I am …
Rich’s Ice Cream Vanilla Sandwich Low Fat
Rich’s Ice Cream Vanilla Sandwich Low Fat is not that bad really. For a low fat product, this ice cream sandwich really retains a whole lot of flavor, quite surprisingly. The vanilla is fairly rich and creamy and even though the vanilla flavor is slightly subdued due to the …
Diet Coke
Diet Coke is one of the best soft drinks on the market. For those people watching their weight or dieting, Diet Coke has no calories, fat, etc. It tastes great.
A common problem with diet soda is a lack of carbonation. Diet Coke has plenty and maintains it well. It …
Happy Harvest Kidney Beans
A few days ago, I decided to make chili. One of the ingredients I needed was kidney beans so I used a couple cans from the brand Happy Harvest.
I have purchased other items from this brand in the past and, with few exceptions, I have been very happy with …
Jimmy Dean Breakfast Bowls: Ham
I just recently wrote a review about another variety of the Jimmy Dean Breakfast Bowls. It was for sausage. It was horrid, and it really has turned me off of this product, even though I do like and trust the Jimmy Dean brand overall. Even though …
Goya Adobo seasoning with Pepper
I first bought this seasoning because I had seen it recommended in a cooking newsletter I receive and then found it on sale and a discount market. I figured it was time to try it.

Marie Callender’s Fettuccini Alfredo and Garlic Bread
I typically like microwave/oven made meals so I decided to try Marie Callender’s Fettuccini Alfredo with Garlic Bread. I was really not pleased with this product.
I removed the plastic cover expecting to taste delicious noodles, tender veggies and flavorful garlic bread. The vegetables were sparse in quantity and lacked …
Lipton Pasta Sides
Lipton Pasta Sides are a quick and easy to make. They are also cheap. Eveyone in our family enjoys them. I especially like to stock up on them, when they are on sale at Price Chopper. They have a 10/$10 sale, so thats a dollar a bag. They have …
Fiddle Faddle: Butter Toffee
I often buy a few boxes of Fiddle Faddle from my local Dollar General. I get the blue boxes, the butter toffee flavor. Each box weighs six ounces and has 0 grams of trans fat. The popcorn snack comes sealed inside a foil pouch, so the treat is always …
Kraft Singles Cheese
Kraft Singles appears to be like any other cheese when it is in your grocery store but after I tried it I noticed the difference right away.They have several ads talking about how it is made with real milk and this is correct, if you try the product you …
Lipton Teas
I love teas! I guess there is no one that has ever tasted almost all tea variants in the whole of metro manila as me. I love teas, red tea, green tea, korean ginseng teas (not as much as i like green teas) and i also love Milk teas! …
Combos Snacks - Nacho Cheese Pretzel
Combos Snacks - Nacho Cheese Pretzel differs slightly from the cheddar cheese variety, although both are fairly similar. The difference rests in the type of cheese used. Whereas cheddar cheese is used in the cheddar variety, with this variety, nacho cheese fills in the interior of the mini-pretzel. What …
Barlean’s Greans
I came across a product awhile back called Barlean’s Greens. My mother had recommended it to me because I have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and don’t eat healthy. This is a superfood powder formula that you take every day.
It comes in a very sturdy container in different sizes and you …
Fruity Cheerios
Fruity Cheerios are completely fabulous! Not only are they fun to eat just because of their awesome color assortment, but they just have a really wholesome, yet fun taste to them! I find that while they look like small versions of fruit loops, they have far less …
Kirkland Signature Green Tea
Kirkland green tea is only available, to my knowledge, at CostCo stores in Washington, USA. It is a blend of sencha and matcha tea, and comes in boxes of over 200 tea bags. I buy it every time I go to CostCo.
The package of the tea is very alluring, …
Cooper’s Chicken Sandwich
I have only come across Cooper’s Chicken Sandwich at ALDI Food Market stores. In the box comes one chicken sandwich for a dollar and nineteen cents. The chicken sandwich is breaded, not grilled, although the chicken sandwich isn’t particularly crispy, like say the crispy chicken sandwiches that can be …
Chef Boyardee Pizza Maker: Cheese
Chef Boyardee Pizza Maker is a pizza kit I decided to try one evening with one of my younger relatives. I’ve never heard of such a thing from Chef Boyardee until coming over to my grandma’s house. The thought of it was kind of weird because I’m used …
Dad’s Oatmeal Chocolate Chip 37.5 g Cookies/Biscuits
I tried this for the first time. I never knew that these delicious cookies have been around since 1929. The package only contains two cookies, but I found them quite satisfying, indeed.
I just can’t resist cookies with oatmeal in them. Maybe because I’ve always loved having …
Nescafe Green Blend Instant Coffee
Nescafe Green Blend is a new instant coffee which has the benefit of high levels of naturally occurring polyphenol antioxidants. Regular coffee contains some antioxidants anyway. I knew that antioxidants were supposed to be good for you but, on looking it up, they are essentially vitamins and …
Great Value Pizzas
We decided to watch a movie last night and, because of that, kept dinner simple; frozen pizza. Rather than our normal brand, we ended up eating one of the Great Value Pizzas my wife picked up at Walmart on Saturday.
They weren’t bad but they weren’t great either.
My biggest complaint about …
Season’s Choice Corn On The Cob (Six Pack)
Six ears of corn come in the Season’s Choice Corn On The Cob pack at ALDI Food Market stores for one dollar and twenty-nine cents. The corn on the cob is cut into convenient halves, thus it’s a lot shorter than the non-refrigerated corn for sale in the produce …
Pillsbury Grands! Honey Butter Frozen Biscuits
I much prefer purchasing the bags of frozen Pillsbury biscuits over the biscuits that come in a canned roll because I love the convenience of being able to bake only the number of biscuits I want or think I will need. Fresh biscuits always taste better than biscuits that …
Taco Bell Five Layer Burrito
As of recently, there has been an ongoing promotion for Taco Bell’s five layer burrito. Taco Bell is on my list of favorite fast food places to go, but I tend to stick to the simple foods on the menu: Cinnamon twists, soft supreme tacos, nacho supremes, gordita supreme, …
Mrs. Freshley’s Berry Pie
I enjoyed Mrs. Freshley’s Berry Pie much more than the apple pie variety. The reason I enjoyed the blueberry variety more is quite simple really: the blueberry filling has a pretty delightful flavor! The filling reminds me of scrumptious blueberries, as it most certainly should. The pie tastes even …
