Marks and Spencer Extremely Chocolatey Mini Bites
I cannot afford to buy the bulk of my grocery shopping from Marks and Spencer but they do a few luxury goods that I regularly treat myself to, such as their Extremely Chocolatey Mini Bites. You get 18 bites in a tub for about £2.49, but they do …
Keebler Chips Deluxe Cookies (Mini Rainbow)
I love chocolate and it’s especially hard for me to resist buying things like chocolate muffins and cookies when I go on a diet. For example, the last few times I went to the supermarket and went over the snacks section, I spotted the Keebler Chips Deluxe Mini Rainbow …
The Prepared Pantry Pure White Chocolate Chips
I am a major white chocolate lover but I have a hard time getting white chocolate for baking where I live except in this one candy store in a particular mall. I had signed up for a newsletter from The Prepared Pantry which sells a variety of baking ingredients, …
Stouffer’s Macaroni & Cheese
Stouffer’s Macaroni & Cheese is a relatively decent lunchtime meal or filling side dish for dinner time. Although I do not find this macaroni and cheese to be quite as creamy and delicious as some of the boxed mixes that I have picked up at the grocery store, I …
Bagoong or Shrimp Paste
It’s actually called shrimp paste and it smells horrible uncooked. Well, it should, after all the ingredients were left to rot in huge jars. But if you sault it with garlic, onions, tomatoes and pork, it tastes wonderful. Just forget how it was processed. Bagoong is much like an …
Tesco Spotted Dick Sponge Puddings
Occasionally I love to have a good old school dinner type pudding like sponge cake and custard so I tried this product from Tesco’s own range. A box of two Spotted Dick Sponge Puddings cost only about £1 and each sponge includes custard too. On the box, …
Heinz Home-style Gravy
We made mashed potatoes last night and, because we didn’t want to eat them plain, we decided to pick up some gravy to go with them.
The store I went to was a convenience store and they only had one brand to choose from; Heinz Home-style Gravy. So, I ended …
Sainsburys Chilli Flavoured Potato Snack
When on the hunt in Sainsburys, one of my favorite snacks is their chilli flavoured potato snack. It’s a large packet of crisps and you will often find them near the curry and Mexican mixes so don’t be fooled into thinking that just because they are crisps they will …
Happy Harvest Kidney Beans
I made chili last night and realized I was out of kidney beans. Since my parents were actually closer than the store was, I figured I would just stop by their house and borrow a couple cans.
They had the brand Happy Harvest; a cheaper brand I know they buy …
Little Debbie Devil Cremes Cakes
I like these Little Debbie Devil Cremes Cakes! I find them to be really very delicious! The chocolate cake is rich and moist and quite tasty, and the creme in the middle is deliciously rich as well! The two flavors compliment each other really very well and make for …
Diet Cheerwine
Diet cheerwine is a beverage sold by the Pepsi company. It is a product that is only sold in certain areas of the country. Diet Cheerwine is actually a soda, and not as the name would suggest, a wine. This beverages is available in grocery stores and …
Market Pantry White Sandwich Bread
Market Pantry White Sandwich Bread is a loaf bread carried only at Target stores. Around thirty slices come in the wrapper and the sandwich bread sells for just under one dollar. I only bought this sandwich bread once because I can get just as much sandwich bread at Kroger …
Maltesers
Maltesers, lovely balls of chocolate and almost perfectly made for women and children. Very similar to Kitkat in away, only this time you do not have sticks of biscuit covered in chocolate, you have have a lighter biscuit that is in the shape of a ball. As much as …
KFC Mashed Potatoes
For some people mashed potatoes and gravy are a staple in their diet. For me potato salad is usually more my style. There are very few mashed potato recipes that I would eat and enjoy and KFC Mashed Potatoes and gravy falls into that category.
I never ordered mashed potatoes …
The Nestle Iced Tea Lemon Flavor
It was a day when I came in the house of my boyfriend and it was so summer season. I was so thirsty. My boyfriend and his mother offered a Nestle Iced tea lemon flavor to me. At first, I was not a fan of Lemon flavor tea but …
Ritz Crackers
Ritz Crackers are just about the only crackers I can think of which are tasty enough to eat on their own. They are small, only two inches in diameter, so I sometimes just pop one or two in my mouth for a quick snack. They are crisp …
Turkey Hill Iced Peach Tea
I picked up a half gallon of Turkey Hill iced peach on sale, for only ninety-nine cents. Usually it’s a dollar ninety-nine, at Kroger but they dropped it down. Normally when I buy already made teas, I go for Arizona green tea, Snapple or Lipton, or just simply make …
Seneca Apple Chips Caramel
These apple chips are just the opposite of Green Tree Apple Chips Caramel, and not in a good way! The Green Tree Apple Chips Caramel were pretty bland in flavor, and these apple chips are ridiculously sweet to the point where they were upsetting my stomach. It’s not even …
Beer Samuel Adams Cream Stout
I had this from a bottle, poured into a 16 oz. pilsner glass (a.k.a. my standard high-class glassware). Once poured, the beer produced a faint, tan-colored, 1-finger thick head with lacing that lasted throughout the entire drink.
The beer is a very dark brown, almost opaque with a little …
Sainsbury’s Finest Clotted Cream Scones
I wanted some really special scones as I had been having cravings for scones with fresh cream and jam for some reason and I spotted the perfect candidates in Tesco’s bakery section —“ Tesco Finest Clotted Cream Scones in a four-pack. They just look really spectacular —“ quite …
Minute Maid Pulpy Orange
I have tried this Minute Maid Pulpy Orange when we went to an outing one day with the whole family. It was actually given to me by my cousin who told me to try the said drink. I tasted it once and it was good. It’s …
Lean Pocket Ham and Cheese
Because of my previous experience with the Lean Pocket Philly cheese steak, I wanted to expand my lunch menu to another pastry sandwich: The Lean Pocket ham and cheese. I’ve had the Hot pocket ham and cheese and they are the best, so I thought the Lean Pocket ham …
Benton’s Cookies Candy Cane Chocolate Sandwich Cremes
Just as autumn is a great time of the year for those that can’t get enough of pumpkin, once December arrives, it’s all about peppermint! Well, it might not all be about peppermint, but that’s a pretty common ingredient in foods and drinks during the Christmas season. If you’re …
Market Pantry Grade A Honey
Honey is a nice, sweet and tasty addition to a number of foods and drinks. I particularly like to put a bit of honey in my tea. I went to my local Target store the other day and went looking for some honey. Surprising me it …
The Co operative Fairtrade Gold Roast Instant Coffee
I gave quite a bad review of the Co-operative’s Fairtrade Instant Coffee, but this is the ‘Gold Roast’ which implies a better quality instant coffee. This is a freeze dried coffee ‘for a smooth, rich flavour’ so I was hopeful it was going to be better. This …
Nutella
I did a study abroad in France and while I was there discovered nutella. Nutella is a hazelnut spread with chocolate similar to peanut butter. I used to love to put nutella on absolutely everything. It is particularly designed to go on toast, and crackers and pretzels. If you …
Justin’s mini Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups
I’m a huge peanut butter fan and everything peanut butter flavoured immediately goes into my cart. I really love Reese’s peanut butter cups, however, I’ve been hearing a lot about Justin’s Dark Chocolate peanut butter cups lately, which are also organic, lower in sugar and vegan. I haven’t seen them …
Brown Cow: Cream Top Greek Blueberry yogurt
As I have stated before, I love greek yogurt with an a burning passion. There is just something about the creamy thickness that pulls me in and takes me way to a blissful place. Almost every brand out there have their own line of greek yogurt with their own …
Tai Pei Chicken Fried Rice
The picture on the box that the Tai Pei Chicken Fried Rice came in sure looked mighty appetizing. Large pieces of chicken, assorted vegetables and white rice all decorated the box. One fourteen point two ounce box cost three dollars, a price that I considered to be okay as …
Del Monte Citrus Salad
Del Monte Citrus Salad is our new family favorite. This canned fruit mix contains three kinds of citrus (red grapefruit, white grapefruit, and orange) in sweet light syrup. It is packed with Vitamin C, it tastes great, contains no preservatives, and, best of all, you don’t have to peel …
Kroger Cinnamon Waffles
These waffles from Kroger are kind of bland. There certainly is some cinnamon flavor baked into these waffles, but it’s not enough to win me over. The cinnamon becomes particularly difficult to taste when I add a butter spread and syrup. Even if I skip the syrup, which I …
Pringles Potato Crisps - Barbecue
These Pringles potato crisps taste pretty good! If you are someone that enjoys the flavor of barbecue, then I believe you will enjoy the flavor of these chips! They really do remind me of the flavor of barbecue sauce and barbecued food! Pringles certainly was not skimpy when it …
Chili’s Mango Tea
This is by far the best tasting tea I have ever come across. It is a cross between something light and tropical and a Southern, sugary delight. I find myself going to Chili’s just so I can order their Mango Tea! I have not been able to find it …
Jell-o Instant Pudding - White Chocolate
Jell-o Instant Pudding - White Chocolate is a flavor variety that I do not quite care for really, especially compared to the traditional chocolate flavored pudding. The white chocolate does not quite have as rich of a flavor and is thus not as deliciously enjoyable as the chocolate pudding. …
Blue Bell Strawberry Cheesecake Half Gallon Ice Cream
I’m an extreme lover of strawberry cheesecakes and when I walked down the ice cream aisle in super Wal-Mart, my eyes began bugging out of my head.
I knew how fast the strawberry cheesecake ice cream would go, so I had to sneak into it and make my company/friends believe …
Jack Daniels
There are some things that are simply icons. I guess that Jack Daniels falls into that category. It has a —˜Good Ol’ Boy’ stamp that gives it a certain street credibility. It isn’t something that makes people think you’re trying to gain some superiority over them by drinking it. …
Cadbury Old Gold Oreo Cheesecake
This is my favorite cheesecake at Banapple Pies and Cheesecakes and I do have to have this dessert every month even once! It is only priced at approximately $2 and it is a huge chunk of real cheesecake made with real cream cheese that is thick creamy, and cheesy, …
Michaelina’s Salisbury Steak
I love a good Salisbury steak and potatoes meal–when it’s prepared properly. Before I started working for myself, I would do the normal nine to five and Michaelina’s Salisbury steak frozen meal would provide a much need relief during break time. People looked at me crazy, but it was …
Hunt’s Snack Pack Pudding
Do you ever have a craving for something chocolate. Something that will hit the spot. Well you should try Hunt’s Snack Pack chocolate pudding made with real nonfat milk. You can buy them at the store in a pack for four for $1. How can you beat that price? …
McDonald’s sausage biscuits
McDonald’s sausage biscuits are a great breakfast food. The local McDonald’s in Jamestown, Tennessee sells them one for a dollar or two for a dollar and ten cents. Can’t eat two? Don’t worry you can freeze the second one for another day when you are in a hurry and …
Del Monte Ketchup
I always love eating with ketchup to go with my meal especially if the meal is fried or dry. Ketchups always solve the problem and it makes the meal wonderfully tasty. I have read from somewhere that ketchups started as a medicine taken in the early years and it …
Arnott’s Shapes
A large, 300-gram bag of Arnott’s Shapes was given to me by a friend recently. It was the first time I saw and tasted this product as it has never really been available in the grocery stores I frequent: Shopwise and Waltermart, both in Makati City.
Arnott’s Shapes is …
Yo Mama Frozen Yogurt, Hong Kong
I love frozen yogurt and I need my fix at least once a week. I went to a trip to Hong Kong and surprisingly, yogurt isn’t everywhere unlike in Manila. When I saw the Yo Mama shop in Windsor House, Causeway Bay, I of course tried it …
Del Monte Pineapple Juice
I love drinking Del Monte pineapple juice not only because of its great taste but because of its high nutrition content.It is a great source of Vitamin C. I rely on it for my supplement of Vitamin C. Del Monte pineapple juice also cleanses our body from the …
Cream O Cookies
Ever since I was in college, the food that stops away my hunger is Cream O. I always buy one pack for PHP 5.00. I believe PHP 1.00 increased the price at present so it is now PHP 6.00. This kind of cookies gives you a different enjoyment because …
Pringles: Sour Cream and Onion
I loved eating chips during snack time and especially I watch some favorite DVD movies of mine I prefer to have Pringles to more enjoy my relax day. One of my favorite chips is the product of Pringles and one of my favorite flavor is Sour Cream and Onion. …
Reno Liver Spread
I’ve been preparing snacks for my two kids everyday and I’m already running out of spreads I could use for their sandwiches. I’ve already tried cheese spreads, sandwich spreads, hams, fruit jams, eggs, and a lot more when I discovered this Reno Liver Spread. I actually …
Pringles Restaurant Cravers Onion Blossom
This is one potato chip that will leave you in need of some mouthwash or a breath mint! I really like the flavor and aroma that these crispy, non-greasy chips give off. When I open up a can, I’m hit with an appetizing aroma that reminds me of onion …
