Stofers Lasagna Italiano
The Stofers Lasagna Italiano is a frozen food dish that is available in your local freezer at any supermarket and if you have never had it I believe that you should avoid it. This is a new version of Lasagna which has three different kinds of cheese and to …
Little Debbie Cosmic Brownies
I find the Little Debbie Cosmic Brownies to be relatively decent. The brownies themselves offer a fairly decent chocolate flavor. They have chocolate icing and chocolate cake, and both offer a mild, but nonetheless enjoyable, chocolate taste. On top, are chocolate candies that come in a variety of vibrant …
Kirkland Signature Bottled Water
I hate to admit this (especially during these “go green” times) that I like to drink bottled water. In fact, you can find me drinking anything from Smart water to Aquafina to grocery store brand water.
Over the summer I worked outside and was constantly drinking water. The water I …
Vodka Putinoff
Another of my Lidl products, it is cheap and it is good. You get half liter of Vodka for less than 5 euros, that’s some $5.
The first thing I like about this vodka is of course the price then the looks of the bottle. The bottle is transparent and …
Log Cabin Butter Lite Syrup
I like to eat waffles in the morning. I have experimented with a variety of different syrup options and think the best so far is log Cabin butter lite. I chose the light because I didn?t want all the extra calories. This syrup does a good job of being …
Hostess Limited Edition Pumpkin Spice Cupcakes
Hostess is one of the most familiar brand names in America. I imagine you would have a hard time finding someone that didn’t know what a Twinkie was. Considering the popularity of the brand, I’m really surprised that Hostess hadn’t taken advantage of the pumpkin craze that never fails …
Tostitos Natural Yellow Corn Tortilla Chips
If you are like us and love to have parties, then having a durable chip and dip is a must. We have tried a variety of different chips to see which our family and guests love the most, but we tend to always come back to the Tostitos Natural …
Nestle Pure Life Natural Spring Water
Usually our family buys the inexpensive, store brand bottles of water, so it was a treat when we splurged and got a case of Nestle Pure Life Natural Spring water. For $4.99, we got a case of 24 bottles. A little steep compared to other brands, but well …
Duncan Hines Dark Chocolate Fudge Cake
Every Sunday I have made it a ritual that after morning mass, I find a dessert from the super market that I can make from scratch. Last week, my boyfriend was with me and he spotted a dark chocolate fudge cake, that I must say looked absolutely delicious from …
MacDonalds Fries
There is no doubt for me that one of the highlights of going to MacDonalds is their fries. I have always loved them and wish they could be readily available at home. I understand that this would probably turn me into a very overweight being, but they are lovely.
It …
Black and Gold Lasagna
Black and Gold Lasagna is a moderately priced Lasagna, available from Independent Grocers Association stores in Australia.
Cooking Time: You need to cook it for 8 minutes, high power in a microwave.
Taste: Being a home brand, you would expect it’s taste to be sub-standard, but actually, the pasta is …
Cedarlane Burrito Grande with Salsa
The frozen dinner “Burrito Grande with Salsa” by Cedarlane is one that I find to be tasty for the most part, although I found the salsa topping to really be unremarkable in its flavor and I felt that a spicier and richer salsa could have definitely enhanced my enjoyment …
Kashi Heart-to-Heart Roasted Garlic Crackers
Triscuits is one of my favorite snacks. However, if you noticed the salt content, you may be turned away from the fact that it is more than recommended by the FDA. Although it is healthier than other snacks in the market, it is still not a recommended …
Nescafe Body Partner Premix Coffee
Some people loves coffee, but not coffee that tastes too “coffee-ish” (if you know what I mean). Some people, like me, loves the taste of coffee and the nutrition of milk.
Can one get two bites off the same apple? The answer is yes - …
Linolada chocolate milk cream
I don’t usually buy Linolada because it is quite expensive and I prefer Nutella because it has much better taste. But the other day I went to the shop and I saw these small Linolada packs and I couldn’t resist. I must say that i really don’t know when …
Prego Roasted Garlic & Herb Pasta Sauce
So, I recently got some Prego Roasted Garlic & Herb Pasta Sauce for my ziti pasta and I must say it was so tasty. The sauce wasn’t super garlicky tasting and the herbs tasted so fresh. It was thick and full of tomatoes too. Loved it.
The way I …
Kit Kat strawberry bar
I loooove Kit Kat bars (mint Kit Kats and peanut butter Kit Kats are the ones I could sell my soul for), but I had to teach myself not to eat those XXL chocolate bars every day for the sake of my health. Gradually, I stopped buying them at all, …
Flavor-Aid Koolaid
I typically by Flavor-Aid Kool-Aid because it is a cheap affordable drink that my all kids like. Normally I purchase the 12 pack from Save-a-lot because it’s only 79 cents for the 12 packs compared to paying 10 cents each for them individually. That is a savings of 41 …
Kaujam
Kaujam is a name of a rice. It is a popular food in South Thailand. But I tried the Kaujam in Kota Bharu, Kelantan. As it is just border of South Thai, hence some of their food inherit the South Thai style.
I love the Kaujam very much. …
Nesquick Strawberry Syrup
I just recently tried the Nesquick syrup in strawberry flavor. It is great on top of ice cream, mixed with milk, or in a milkshake. It has excellent sweet strawberry flavor, and at $2.49/16oz is a good value for it’s size. The syrup is thick- with a consistency thicker …
Imperial Margerine
My family has used Imperial Margerine for several decades. I really can’t say why we started using it because I was a kid when I first became aware of it. This is one of those things where I just never changed brands from what my parents used.
Over …
Coke with Lime
Soft drink leaders Coca-Cola and Pepsi have tried a lot of different flavors over the years. Most of them haven’t worked. Some, however, have stuck. Cherry flavor, for example. Vanilla Coke, on the other hand, although its lasted a few years (longer than most of …
Quaker Good Start Oat Dairy Drink Banana Creme 280ml
Today I tried a new cereal drink and it is called Quaker Good Start Oat Dairy Drink. You got it tight! It is healthy oat in a drink, and it is very delicious because I got the Banana Creme flavor. This drink costs 28 pesos and it is available …
Cambridge Cinnamon Grahams
The last time I was at Aldi’s I bought Cambridge Cinnamon Grahams. I love Graham crackers and cinnamon grahamas in particular. These crackers are quite good and probably taste almost as good as Nabisco brand graham crackers.
I like these because they have plenty of cinnamon on …
Imperial Spread
Imperial Spread that is used as an alternative to butter. I’ve become accustom to using it over the years instead of butter for baking and cooking eggs. I still use butter but when I’m trying to cut corners and save a few pennies I buy a couple …
America’s Best Butter Flavor Microwave Popcorn
Coming from the Jolly Time Company, America’s Best Butter Flavor Microwave Popcorn is a product that is grown without chemical pesticides. That’s the draw of this fairly new ‘green’ product. Per the packaging, it’s 94 percent fat free and it contains Better-Life Grains. There are no artificial …
Parle G Biscuits
I have been having Parle G biscuits since my childhood. They have been there when I was a kid, and now that I have children, they are still there in the market. Despite lot of competition, and new brands popping up like mushrooms everyday, there are certain trendsetters …
Twix chocolate bar
Twix chocolate bar is my old time favorite. Since childhood I always asked my relative from states to bought me some dozen of it. This chocolate was introduced by my friend from school, a close friend of mine gave me one pieces of chocolate as a birthday present. And …
DiGiorno Supreme Rising Crust Pizza
We’ve had DiGiorno Supreme Rising Crust Pizza for supper today, one of our family favorites. This frozen pizza costs $4.98 and has pepperoni, sausage, olives, and green and red pepper on it, all evenly distributed. I especially like the rising crust, it is thick and soft, like freshly baked …
Burger King Onion Rings Snacks
I found these onion rings at the Dollar Tree one day and snatched them up in a heartbeat. I like the onion rings Burger King serves, and I was eager to see what the snack take on the flavorful side item was like. When I opened up the bag, …
Entenmann’s Holiday Pop’ems
I did not care for Entenmann’s Holiday Pop’ems very much at all. The reason I did not like them too much is because there is just not a lot of flavor to the pop’ems. These pop’ems are covered in sprinkles and aside from looking colorful and nice, these sprinkles …
Sliced Fish Noodle Soup
Most Asians love to eat Sliced Fish Noodle Soup. Including myself. I love the noodles especially, instead of eating this Sliced Fish Soup with the replacement of rice.
And for the noodle option, I love the yellow ‘E-Mee’ or just a normal yellowish noodle-type. Really delicious …
Gipsy Gold —“ soft aperitif
I don’t usually like bitter products but here in Italy everyone drinks soft aperitifs so I decided to try the out too, when they were on discount, of course. So I bought Gipsy Gold, 10 bottles of this soft aperitif for 1.19Euro only instead of 1,49Euro. I must say …
Oscar Mayer Bun-length Premium Beef Franks
When the grocery store was out of my usual Ball Park beef franks this week, I decided to purchase Oscar Mayer Bun-length Premium Beef Franks. I didn’t even know that Oscar Mayer made a bun-length hot dog, so that was a pleasant surprise. Of course, I was …
Slim-Fast Optima Cappuccino
The Slim-Fast Optima which is different than the original Slim-Fast drinks, is wonderful! Not only does it have fewer calories (180)compared to the original, but, it also controls hunger longer! The flavor of the Cappuccino Delight is yummy. You feel like you are cheating while you are drinking it. …
General Mills Count Chocula Treats
Every October, Halloween-themed cereals become a common sight in grocery stores, but just recently, I’ve started to notice Halloween-themed treat bars. Maybe I just never saw them before or perhaps stores in my area never really carried them, but whatever the case, I’m aware of their existence now! Normally, …
Hostess Mini Muffins Brownie Bites
I cannot believe how poor the quality is of the Hostess mini muffin line is. These Hostess Mini Muffins Brownie Bites are terrible, just as the chocolate and banana walnut varieties are. The blueberry variety is barely decent. As for this variety, just like with the other varieties, the …
Birds Eye Steamfresh Super Sweet Corn
As my readers know, I love convenience, so it will come to no surprise that I recently tried Birds Eye Steamfresh Super Sweet Corn, which I’ve seen advertised on TV for quite a while now. I’ve hesitated on buying it because Birds Eye hasn’t really been a favorite …
Pepperidge Farm Milano Mint Distinctive Cookies
I confess that I have not eaten these cookies in years. But I remember when a friend offered one to me many years ago, and they were delicious! This is an oblong cookie that is in the form of a sandwich. (Think of an Oreo cookie.) In between the …
Royal Crown Cola Softdrinks
Royal Crown Cola, more known as RC Cola are popular makers of Orange soft drinks. I am not a fan until the day that a popular soft drink was out of stock. We have no choice but to buy this one and try it for the meantime. I thought …
Orv’s Special Deluxe Pizza
I think I mentioned once before that we had intended on having a 4th of July barbecue but, because of a few circumstances, ended up buying some frozen pizzas instead. One of the pizzas we ended up purchasing was a Special Deluxe Pizza from the brand Orv’s.
I normally don’t …
Angus Pride Steaks
We don’t normally buy the brand Angus Pride when it comes to steaks; electing instead to purchase locally grown beef. However, we had a couple packs given to us by my parents and, rather than have them go to waste, I opted to make them last night on the grill.
After …
Red Trolly Ale
I had the pleasure of finally tasting and drinking Red Trolly Ale on my trip to Disneyland the last couple of years, and I must say that this stuff is very good and tastes so good once it hits your lips. I had it at this little beer stand they …
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 …
La Fonte Bolognese Sauce
My family love pasta and they like to eat Bolognese pasta. And when I made my own Bolognese, I could not make it with the taste that we normally made in Europe. Maybe the tomatoes that we get here are not the same tomatoes that they have in Europe. …
Vitagen Collagen
I like Vitagen Collagen more than other cultured milk products. The milky taste of Vitagen Collagen takes away the sourness of the Lactobacillus culture.
I hate those cultured drinks that are so acidic, that makes me feel I am consuming tons of bacteria into my body. Fortunately, Vitagen …
Kelloggs Jumbo Eight Flavor Family Cereal Pack
This is a very good value. This cereal pack contains the following: Mini Wheats, Corn Pops, Rice Krispies, Cornflakes, Apple Jacks, Froot loops, Raisin Bran and Frosted Flakes. That is a decent balance of healthy and not so healthy cereals. What I usually do is mix two cereals together: …
Starbucks Via Ready Brew, Italian Roast
I don’t really go to Starbucks anymore, but when I did I was always into their dark roasts like Sumatra or Italian roast. I haven’t had instant coffee in even longer, because it isn’t the best tasting coffee usually. Instant is something I felt I had moved on from. …
Yogurtland (Berkeley, CA)
Yogurt Land was a place that I had often heard of, but I assumed it was because it was a new place and people who were “yogurt crazy,” but did not trust that it was legitimately good. When I first tried it however, I was proven wrong. First of …
