Marlboro Smooth 100s
Since they decided to discontinue my favorite brand of cigarettes, I’ve been on a hunt to find something to replace them. Recently a woman at my local gas station recommend I try the Marlboro Smooth 100’s. She said that she started smoking them years ago before switching to Camel, …
Hostess Chocolate Cream Twinkies
I don’t know about you, but this is one of my least favorite times of the year. Oh, sure, it’s getting colder, and in my part of the world (Southeast Texas) it isn’t exactly Fall picturesque to be sure, but those aren’t the reasons I’m thinking of. Right now …
Banquet Salisbury Steak
The Banquet Salisbury Steak frozen meal comes complete with Salisbury steak, mashed potatoes and corn, all for one dollar. The fact that all this food can be sold for one dollar should be a big hint as to the quality of the food. Still, curiosity can be a mighty …
Twix Cookie Bars
From the Mars company, Twix Cookie Bars are a combination of chocolate and caramel that have a cookie crunch to them versus just a candy taste.
Quite honestly, I’m not a big fan of Twix Cookie Bars. They definitely do have that cookie crispness and that’s probably one reason …
Ham and Cheese Sub from The Chocolate Factory
This is one of my all-time favorite submarine sandwiches. It is not very big but it is very filling. The sandwich is about seven or eight inches long and cut in half. It also tastes very good. The Chocolate Factory is on the second floor of the Grand Avenue …
Post Grape-Nuts Cereal
I used to eat this cereal years ago, and I always used to enjoy it. I go through ups and downs with cereal, and lately I have not been in the mood to eat cereal. I’m not really sure why that is. But I always thought that Grape-Nuts was …

Jell-o Gelatin - Cherry/Black Cherry
Jell-o Gelatin - Cherry/Black Cherry is a deliciously rich treat to have and I am very pleased with the flavor of this fruit gelatin. Both the cherry and the black cherry taste precisely as I expected and so the flavor is really very authentic and natural. The texture of …
Cadbury Star Bar
Cadbury’s Star Bar is one of my favourite chocolate bars. Before writing this review, I nipped onto Wikipedia to remind myself when they first came out as I have been buying these regularly since the 1980s. Interestingly, it pointed out that this Star Bar only exists because …
Knorr Pasta Sides Chicken Broccoli
This Pasta Side had a lot of taste potential, but it unfortunately fell short due to the lack of broccoli. Oh there’s some broccoli in this Pasta Side, but really, the broccoli is easily overwhelmed due to the sauce that’s used. The sauce is thick and creamy and has …
Vanilla Classic Ice Cream
The Vanilla Classic ice cream from New Zealand Ice Cream was one of my favorites of all the varieties I tried from the company. Vanilla ice cream isn’t my favorite, nor does it fall anywhere on my list of favorite flavors. I typically like basic flavors without a lot …
Bulls-eye Original Barbecue sauce
I still remember the commercials for Bulls-eye when I was growing up, how they claimed that they were the best. I happen to agree with that statement. In my opinion, Bulls-eye does offer the best of barbecue sauce. The flavor of the original barbecue sauce is a …
Michelina’s Shrimp Egg Rolls
I was pleasantly surprised by the flavor and texture of Michelina’s Shrimp Egg Rolls. I didn’t think these egg rolls would be that good, but I was willing to give them a try since this frozen meal was on special for just one dollar. For one dollar, I felt …
Stouffer’s Pepperoni & Provolone Stromboli
Stouffer’s Pepperoni & Provolone Stromboli was a little bit of a disappointment for me. The reason I consider it to be a disappointment is because of the pepperoni. Although the pepperoni definitely has some flavor to it and while it is a flavor that I do recognize, unfortunately, it …
Raley’s Fine Foods Microwave Popcorn - Extra Butter
Loving popcorn and fueled on by a need to same money, I recently bypassed my normal brands of higher priced microwave popcorn to get the ’store’ brand, Raley’s Fine Foods, the Extra Butter variety, which was actually the only variety on the shelf available for purchase.
The box for the …
Chick-fil-A Hearty Breast of Chicken Soup
The reason that I like to have Hearty Breast of Chicken Soup at Chick-fil-A is because unlike with the canned soups and some restaurants, there is actually quite a bit of chicken, noodles and vegetables to be found in this soup and not so much broth. It seems to …
Little Debbie Oatmeal Creme Pies

Panera Chicken Caesar Signature Sandwich
I love passing by Panera. Not only do you smell the aromas of delicious, well-risen bread wafting from the oven, but you warm up to the steam of hot coffee and the aromas of sweet baked goods in the air. It’s a very inviting atmosphere —“ one …

Tong Garden Sunflower Honey flavor is the other Tong Garden food I bought last night aside from the barbeque flavor. This is the first time I got to know that sunflower seed can be a food or snacks so I gave it a try. It comes out with 30g …
Rustlers Chicken Sandwich
I do like my Fast food and although I know it isn’t exactly good for you, it is quick, tasty and a little bit of a Hot snack to eat. The Rustlers range of food has been out for quite a while now and although there is now a …
Entenmanns Softee Cinnamon Donuts
For years, I’ve walked by Entenmann’s products in the pastry and bread aisle of my store. I’ve never actually purchased one of their products before, but a few days back, I saw a package of their Cinnamon Donuts that had a promotional price to it, so I thought …
Albertsons Frozen Mixed Vegetables
Albertsons Frozen Mixed Vegetables are enjoyable in some ways and disappointing in other ways. For example, the corn and carrots are both on the dull side. The carrots have at least some flavor, but the corn might as well not even be there because they contribute nothing, pretty much. …
Knorr Cup a Soup
I always make sure I have a box or two of Knorr Cup a Soup in the house or in the office. It is used as an emergency food whenever you’re hungry and doesn’t have time to cook. Just transfer a sachet or pack of Knorr Cup a Soup …

Great Value Flame-Broiled Hamburger
Two Great Value Flame-Broiled Hamburgers come in a package at Walmart for two dollars and thirty cents. The hamburgers are individually wrapped and come on sesame buns. The hamburgers can either be cooked in the oven or microwave. Since the hamburger patties come already positioned on the sesame buns, …
Tang (drink)
Tang is a powder based fruit juice mix that can really be rather refreshing, especially after working out. I have found that it seems to raise my bloodsugar just enough to replenish my energy levels after a brisk walk, but not it does not have so much sugar …
Edwards Thaw & Serve Hershey Creme Pie (25.5 oz)
About once a month, we pick up an Edwards pie from the grocery store. Most recently, the favorite has been the Hershey’s Creme Pie. They’re a little bit pricey, but it’s a great treat for now and then.
These pies come frozen, but thaw in about 2 hours in the …
President’s Choice mini Chefs Muffins
I am not a huge muffin fan as a rule, as I usually find most muffins are too big and unhealthy and I end up feeling bloated and tired after I eat one. Recently I needed some snacks for a get together, and added a box of President’s Choice …

Glory Foods Seasoned New Orleans Style Red Beans and Rice is a cheap and easy way to make a quick dinner. I first bought it on a whim because I am trying to learn how to cook for a vegetarian. The problem I have had is that cooking for …
Big Red gum
I wanted cinnamon gum a few nights ago, so I decided to get some Big Red gum. I grew up chewing Big Red, and I loved it, so I thought I’d try it out again. Here’s a summary of my experience with that.
The package claims that it …
Tesco Authentic Italian Quick Cook Fusilli Pasta
This is great pasta from Tesco’s own brand because it is so easy to cook and it just refuses to get stuck together. I am not a patient cook and sometimes I even forget to stir my pasta as I get involved in something else, but I have …
Fudgie Wudgie Fudge
Last December I was shopping at Sam’s Club and there was a sample table set up with some fudge. I’m no dummy so I took the sample and really liked it. I enjoyed it so much I decided to buy a package. The Fudgie Wudgie Fudge …
Sun-Rype Fruit to Go Squiggles
These new fruit snacks come in a variety of flavors. The are 100% fruit which is great news for parents everywhere. While each piece is only 60 calories, it also has 15 grams of sugar and you can definitely taste it.
These fruit snacks are almost sickeningly sweet to me …
Stouffer’s Chicken ala King with Rice (frozen entree)
I was a bit leery about trying this particular meal, as I’d never had Chicken ala King before. I’ve been told that it’s very similar to the filling that is found in chicken pot pies. But the picture on the cover of the box didn’t …
Diginirio Pizzas
This is my all time favorite frozen pizza. When you eat it, it doesn’t even taste like a frozen pizza. I think it’s the best frozen pizza there is. They come in a different variety. I know they have supreme, and just pepperoni. I also know that they come …
Silk Vanilla Iced Latte
I decided to give a new product from the Silk brand a try , called Silk Vanilla Ice Latte . A iced latte that is made from soy milk instead of traditional cows milk. As a fan of Silk I wasn’t purely hesitant since I know that silk delivers …
McVities Jaffa Cakes
Good old McVities Jaffa Cakes were around when I was a girl and they do not seem to have changed at all. I looked them up on the internet out of interest and they have actually been around since 1927 which shows what a winning formula they are …
Gourmet Dining Seafood Medley with Alfredo Sauce
We have recently tried Gourmet Dining Seafood Medley with Alfredo Sauce, so let me review it while everything is still fresh in my memory.
We bought the 2 lb package of this seafood medley in the frozen food section of Walmart. The mix contains shrimps, scallops, pieces of imitation crab …
Kellogg’s Special K Protein Meal Bar Chocolatey Chip
I personally do not care for this particular protein bar even though I enjoy chocolate chip cookies. For one thing, these do not taste quite like chocolate chip cookies in my opinion because they are harder and chewier than chocolate chips cookies and the dough flavor is not quite …
Great Value Chicken Breast, Salad Dressings and Hotdogs
With today’s sinking US economy, everyhousehold would tighten their belts and save as much money as they can. I, as the manager of our family’s finances does this too. I shop at walmart for one. But shopping there would make me save more if I wil not go for a …

I can say that kids would surely like wafers. Wafobix creamy wafer is …

Cadbury Drinking Chocolate (vegan)
I absolutely love hot chocolate. I even drink it during the summer, which, I think, proves how strong my feelings towards hot chocolate are. I usually make my own hot chocolate with cocoa powder and natural sweeteners, but every time I see a new drinking chocolate powder at the store …
Rice-A-Roni: Creamy Four Cheese Flavor
In winter my thoughts turn to comfort food. I’m not much of a cook, so quick and easy, box type foods are great for me. I love Rice-A-Roni and the Four Cheese flavor is my favorite. The cheeses are cheddar, parmesan, romano and blue cheese. Yum!
I like the fact …
