Duncan Hines Fudgy Brownie Mix
My sister-in-law and I were trying a couple of brownie mixes, and we had already tried Betty Crocker’s Hershey’s Supreme Brownie Mix with Walnuts, and they were the most delicious fudge walnut brownies I have tasted in my life and get this —“they’re only a mix and that delicious …
Goya Dark Chocolate with Almonds
When I think chocolates, especially the local ones, I would normally think of Goya and Choc-nut. When I was in the supermarket, I was looking for cheap thrills again just to satisfy my cravings for chocolate. I wanted something dark, something not too sweet, in fact, I wanted some …
Tropical Lifesavers
Lifesavers have always been one of those candies that I like, but don’t seek out on my own. The reason is that they remind me a little too much of my grandmother, who used to carry them around in the bottom of her purse and give one to me …
St. Louis Bread Company Cuban Chicken Panini
This Panini brings two cultures together: italiano and cubano. This sandwich is served on focaccia Italian bread/flatbread) with Cuban-inspired fillings (smoked chicken, ham, pickles, mayo and Swiss). The best part of a Panera sandwich (be it their signature, café or Panini) is the bread. They specially …
Ainsley Harriott Tomato & Mascarpone Risotto
Good old Ainsley Harriott. This caught my eye in the supermarket as I was looking for something quick I could quickly whip up to eat when I got back from the supermarket and this Tomato & Mascarpone Risotto with Ainsley’s smiling face on it sounded pretty tasty and …
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 …
Hersey’s Kissables Candy Coated Mini Kisses
My brother bought this for me the day before yesterday, and that would have been the first time I have actually tasted this particular set of chocolates even though I have wanted to try them for a very long time.
The candy coated milk chocolates come in a small …
Sam’s Choice (beverages)
Walmart’s generic brand of sodas is called Sam’s Choice. I have tried their flavored beverages, and I still have yet to find one that really closely resembles a major name brand soda. While I can not say that the Sam’s Choice beverages taste bad in any way, …
Kinley mineral water
Now a days we can see many kinds of mineral water in the market. But I only trust and use the Kinley mineral water. The reason because of which I like the Kinley mineral water is, it is internationally recognised and trusted one. The water is …
Capri-Sun Berry Breeze
When I hear the words Capri-suns I know I am going enjoy a nice refreshing drink. Who doesn’t enjoy the convent little pouches (well besides my husband who still can’t figure out how to put a straw in without poking a hole on the other side). They are light …
Ortega Nacho Cheese Dip - Medium
At best, I would describe the Ortega Nacho Cheese Dip - Medium to be bland. There is really nothing noteworthy about this cheese dip, other than that I liked that it came in cups that could be placed in the microwave and heated up. I liked the simplicity and …
Willie’s Homemade Peanut Ice Cream
I was out and with the weather being as hot as it is here I decided I could go for a nice scoop of ice cream. The only place that had ice cream that I was really close to was the pizzeria and then Willie’s. I opted for Willie’s. …
New York Style - Pretzel Flatz Original
New York Style - Pretzel Flatz Original is a cross between a potato chip and a pretzel. It is actually just a pretzel in the shape and texture of a potato chip. This means that unlike a lot of pretzels sold, these pretzels are thinner and more brittle - …
Century Tuna Lite
Indulging in food is not bad for as long as you know the right proportions of food to eat and what kind of food to eat. I am the type of person who eats everything but singles out the right amount. But there is always downside and choosing the …
Del Monte Very Cherry Mixed Fruit
Both my husband and I like canned fruit cocktails, and one of our favorite brands to buy is Del Monte Very Cherry Mixed Fruit. It contains grapes, pieces of peach, pear, and red cherry. The fruit pieces are in light syrup, also cherry flavored. The can is easy to …
Albertsons Complete Pancake Mix
Albertsons Complete Pancake Mix is kind of thin mix which requires larger quantity of powder for making pan cakes. This is the pancake mix that comes from Albertsons itself and comes in a bulkier pack than other brands. The price is no high. Albertsons Complete Pancake mix was got …
Trident White Cinnamon Tingle Gum
Cadbury Adams USA LLC offers a line of Trident White Gum that is marketed as a way to whiten your teeth by chewing the gum. The package says that it is “Clinically shown to whiten teeth”. I’ve never liked the taste of their peppermint flavored gum so I decided …
Kellogg’s Cocoa Krispies Cereal Straws
These chocolate edible wafer straws are not at all bad. The chocolate flavor is not incredibly rich or flavorful - they are actually a bit on the mild side, although the mild flavor is still good. They are certainly crunchy though, and I definitely like that. Do these edible …
Weight Watchers Banana Nut Muffins
I don’t follow the Weight Watchers diet plan, but I do enjoy some of their products so when their Banana Nut Muffins came on sale at my local supermarket for just $1.99CDN I just had to purchase a box of three. I am not generally a big muffin fan …
Pop-Secret Movie Theater Butter Popcorn
It’s no secret that microwavable popcorn is just not as good as the popcorn that’s served at theaters. It doesn’t matter whether or not a microwavable popcorn claims to offer the same flavor as theater popcorn because it simply doesn’t. I don’t think it does, anyway. This popcorn from …
Rice Dream Rice Milk, Original Flavor
I don’t eat or drink anything that comes from an animal, so rice milk is one of the options I use when I substitute milk. Rice Dream Rice Milk has always been my favorite brand of rice milk. I love the name (and the company name, Imagine Foods) for …
Tropicana 100% Pure Orange Juice with Calcium & Vitamin D
I have always preferred to drink orange juice over milk although I understand the importance of drinking milk. Because my mother who is a nurse constantly reminds me I should increase the amount of Calcium in my diet, I decided to try this product. Although …
Kirkland Signature Trail Mix
I guess trail mix was originally meant for hikers. There are a variety of mixes, but I honestly hate most of them. Many actually make me feel nauseated after I eat them. The oriental trail mixes and a few others are okay, but most have one or two ingredients …
Yoplait Whips Chocolate Mousse Yogurt
Yoplait Whips Yogurt has been a favorite of mine since I first found the product in the super market isle one day. Among their variety of flavors is the chocolate mousse. I have to occasionally remind myself that this yogurt is low fat and not something I can’t afford …
Garlic and Herb Spreadable Cheese Wedges from the Laughing Cow
Cheese is a popular snack food among many people. It’s perfect for parties, and goes well with crackers, fruit or dips. The new spreadable cheese wedges from The Laughing Cow are certainly something that many will be able to enjoy for snack time. The Garlic and Herb flavor cheese …
Burger King Whopper
Every fast food chain has their star burger, usually featuring some nifty name designed to make customers remember it. The Burger King Whopper is one of my favorites and that’s because of several reasons.
First of all, the Burger King Whopper is big. Now I’m not talking about …
Suppligen drink
“Supligen” is a milky food supplement which is popular here in Jamaica. However, I am not exactly sure where the product itself originates from. The first time I rememebr hearing about it though was in the nineteen nineties when I was a child and I would see the advertisements …
Torani Cherry Syrup
My boyfriend’s favorite soda is cherry, which is not a very common soda. I decided to get him a soda maker along with this Torani cherry flavored syrup for Christmas, and we both really love this syrup.
The syrup has a really good, strong cherry flavor to it without being …
Sangue di Giuda, quality sparkling wine
I like sweet dessert red wines and this one is one of them. The last time I bought this wine it was really great. So yesterday when my mother came to visit me I have bought it because I know she likes red wine too, especially good and sweet …
Pepsi Jazz
I don’t know how long Pepsi Jazz has been around, but I only happened to have discovered it several days ago. I was walking along the pop isle in a grocery store, planning to buy my favorite Pepsi Lime, when I saw this new (to me) variety: Pepsi Jazz. …
Boca Ground Crumbles
Even though I’ve been a vegetarian for most of my adult life, I still miss some of my favorite childhood dishes made with meat. I regularly purchase veggie burgers and chick patties, and though I’m satisfied with the taste of these substitutes, they have a unique flavor that …
Applebee’s BBQ Pork Sliders
When I was in Florida, I had the privilege of tasting some really good BBQ pork sandwiches. After all, in Miami, they know what good pork should taste like. I can’t say the same for Applebee’s; they definite lack the concept of how to make a proper …
Felix Solis 1999 Los Molinos Gran Reserva
Sells for 15 dollars in Ontario LCBO Shops
Region of origin: Spain - Valdepeñas
13% Alcohol
I know this is a good wine because I found myself with a big grin on my face when I was drinking it, this always a good sign.
It’s quite fruity and I can’t put my finger …
Monterey Food Services
Monterey chicken lollipops are ready to cook meals. They can be ordered, however at any Monterey meat shops near your place at least a day or two before you need them. Monterey caters to all your meat supply needs, and sometimes they too have vegetables available for sale; this …
Goya Cream White Chocolate
Goya is a local chocolate brand here in the Philippines. As a child it was one of the brands my mom gave me. I think it’s less popular to the kids of the new generation though. In its effort to reintroduce the brand they produced new variety to …
Snapfish.com
I can’t say enough good about snapfish.com. This online web site that processes pictures (and produces some really cool gifts with them) has treated me, as a customer, very well. I’ve ordered several different things. I’ve ordered prints, notebooks, mugs, and calender. Each have come very …
Bigelow Sweet Dreams Herb Tea
The name of this tea, “Sweet Dreams,” sounded very appealing. I could just see myself taking a cup of this tea before going to bed, unwinding after a long day… So that’s exactly what I did: made myself a cup of Sweet Dreams that very night. The tea turned …
Sam’s Cola
The first thing I like about Sam’s Cola is the price: only 58 cents for a two liter bottle, and sometimes even less, sometimes out local Walmart has it for 50 cents. It is also available in regular pop cans. The second thing I like is the taste, the …
Luna Fiber Chocolate Raspberry Bars
Luna Fiber Chocolate Raspberry bars is a product that I decided to breakout when a strong hunger panged in my stomach. They were the only thing I had left out of my other assortments of snacks and lunch wasn’t for another two hours. So to say I …
Jack ‘n Jill Cream-O Choco Cream-Filled Chocolate Sandwich Cookies
I love this chocolate cream-filled cookies that I eat it almost everyday. It’s good that it’s available in small packs, wherein a pack contains 3 cookies, which helps me control my consumption and I also don’t need to worry about sealing the opened pack or storing it in a …
RC Cola
I am selling soft drinks and beer here in our neighborhood to earn extra cash for the expenses. I don’t get much from these, but some how, the money I earn from selling these helps. One brand of soft drinks I sell and is is my …
Woody’s Smokehouse No Sugar Added Fig Preserves
On a recent visit, my brother gave me a gift of no sugar added fig preserves made my Woody’s Smokehouse, a company in Centerville, TX which sells to various small retailers. My grandmother made fig preserves when I was a child, and I remember them as gooey and sweet …

This makes having a …
Morrisons Value Ginger Biscuits
I thought I would review these ginger biscuits from Morrisons Value range because I cannot tell any difference between these and the more upmarket, expensive brands and you get a long packet of loads of biscuits for only 31p! OK, they are packaged in Morrisons’ nasty bright yellow …
Breyers Butter Pecan
Breyers Butter Pecan, much like the Butter Almond variety, suffers from a major problem that results in my enjoyment of this ice cream being significantly hampered. The problem I am referring to is there are simply not enough pecans to be found in this ice cream to make it …
Andok’s Roasted Chicken
Even when different brands of roasted chicken are widely propagating in different parts of the urban areas I would say my first choice is still Andok’s. I don’t know exactly if Andok’s is the first of its kind. What is important is Andok’s tastes the best. Their roasted chicken …
Tesco Orange Juice From Concentrate (Smooth)
Tesco Orange Juice has always been a staple of my life, I don’t remember a time when I didn’t begin a morning by drinking a carton, often timing myself to see how quickly it could be drunk. The juice is not particularly high-quality, I realise, but it’s what orange …
Trader Giotto’s Fusilli Pasta with Tomato and Basil Sauce
I bought this at my local grocery store as I have never tried this particular brand before. It was about $2.50 plus tax and seemed to be great way to have a warm pasta dish for lunch. The italian inspired ingredients really sounded delicious so I bought it. i …
Nescafe Original coffee
I started drinking coffee back in my college days and during that time I wasn’t really so keen about what sort of coffee brand I used and I wasn’t so keen at that time drinking a lot of coffees a day until right now when I really cannot …
