Quench Aid drink
I grew up knowing about the drink Quench Aid, which was at the time a cheaper imitation brand of cool aid. One of the things I remember about it the most too when I was little were the ads on the television and radio, which always seemed to persuade …
Quaker Instant Oatmeal
Except for the fact that it tastes like my niece’s baby food, it’s really good. There are different flavors like chocolate and banana and honey, but we buy chocolate flavor more often. The other flavor reminds me of the taste of bottled baby food, and it grosses me out. …
Weight Watchers Smart Ones Tuna Noodle Gratin Frozen Dinner
This is one of my favorite frozen dinners from Weight Watchers. I haven’t eaten a lot of tuna noodle casseroles, but if I had to pick one version of this dish, one of my favorites would be this frozen meal. It consists of linguine noodles, bits of albacore tuna, …
Amy’s Split Pea Soup, Light in Sodium
I love Amy’s convenient natural meals. I think I have tried just about everything, well everything of their vegan line anyway. This was my first time trying the Amy’s Split Pea, light in sodium, Soup.
I really enjoyed the thick and flavorful taste of the soup. The …
Heinz Baked Beans
I should imagine that this is one of the most reviewed items on anyone food agenda. Beloved of both adults and children, it has been around as long as I can remember and it is still the world’s leading brand of baked bean. Heinz is the manufacturer, of course. …
Pampa and Special K Cereal Bars
I’m always looking for low priced groceries that my family will actually eat. I also look for convenience items to keep on hand because of our busy schedules during the day. So I thought we’d try cereal bars to prevent being late for appointments or just a quick snack. …
Eating Right Butternut Squash Ravioli Frozen Dinner
Eating Right is one of my favorite brands of frozen dinners for watching my weight. When I have a week of unhealthy eating habits, I will eat 3 of their meals a day over the weekend, and I usually feel much better and healthier. It is a …
Belmont Premium Ice Cream Cookies & Cream
Belmont Premium Ice Cream Cookies & Cream comes in a one point five quart container for two dollars and forty-nine cents at ALDI Food Market stores. This is an all natural ice cream that’s all good in my book! This ice cream combines two tasty things: chocolate cookies and …
Stouffer’s White French Bread Pizza
Stouffer’s White French Bread Pizza is a pretty tasty lunchtime meal that I enjoy having every month or so. What makes this pizza a treat to eat is the ingredients. This pizza has on top of it oil, garlic and herbs, and many pizzas that are made in the …
Oatmeal Crisp Triple Berry
I often eat cereal for breakfast, and have been trying to eat more healthy cereals. I am now on my third box of Oatmeal Crisp Triple Berry, which I like because it is crunchy and flavourful.
I like the bits of dried berry, although I do find the strawberry pieces …
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 …
Cerelac mixed fruits infant cereals from Nestle
Since after having a baby I found out that making and preparing breakfast can be a very exhausting task to do sometimes especially if I have spent ample amount preparing baby food and then at the end of it my baby doesn’t want to eat. Since I started …
Mr. Pudding - Chocolate
I’ve only come across this brand of pudding at ALDI, but don’t feel too bad if you don’t have an ALDI near you and are unable to purchase this pudding because it’s a little below average as far as pre-made pudding snacks go. For just eighty-nine cents, these pudding …
Grace Instant Coffee
Although I do not drink coffee very much, as of late I have been developing somewhat of a taste for it. I also believe that I can also distinguish between a bad cup of coffee or brand of coffee just like I mentioned in a previous product review, and …
McEnnedy American Way Honey and Mustard Dressing
I wanted a honey and mustard salad dressing and in Lidl, after repeating to the young assistant that I wanted to find the salad dressings and he did not understand the concept, the only brand they had was this, McEnnedy American Way Honey & Mustard Dressing. I think …
Dickinson’s Lemon Curd
For those unfamiliar with lemon curd, this sugary spread is typically used on English scones. However, I like having it with many other breakfast foods. The quality of jarred lemon curd seems to run the gamut between abysmal and superb. Dickinson’s is the best I’ve tried so far.
If I’m …
McCormick Brown Gravy Mix
I am just going to come right out and say that making gravy from scratch is not my forte and I envy those who are capable of doing so. Making gravy from scratch is probably one of the simplest skills a cook should have in their arsenal, but whenever I …
Iceberg Restaurant’s Yum Yum Cheesy Nachos
I just recently realized that the Icebergs Restaurant along Tomas Morato serves other dishes other than ice cream. So along with the ice cream dessert that we ordered, we also ordered a nice, easy to eat dish for the afternoon. My husband and I chose their Yum Yum Cheesy …
Fit & Active Chicken Noodle Homestyle Soup
The Fit & Active Chicken Noodle Homestyle Soup comes in a nineteen ounce can for one dollar and nineteen cents. This is a canned soup that I’ve only been able to find at ALDI Food Market stores. In addition to the chicken noodle soup, ALDI Food Market stores also …
Cheerios
I really like Cheerios. They arn’t a particuarly flavorful cereal, but there is somehting about them that is still a little familiar and tasty to me. I’ve been eating cheerios for ears, possibly since I was small. They dont have all the sugar that other cereals have, and really …
Green Giants Broccoli and Carrots with Italian Dressing
When it involves cooking I like to incorporate vegetables into my meals, but I don’t necessarily know what type of cooking methods to use that don’t involve instruction on the back of a box. On one of my many shopping excursions, I noticed Green Giants had these little vegetable …
Starbucks Green Tea Frappuccino
For a green tea addict such as myself, Starbucks’ green tea frappuccino is the perfect summer replacement for the similar green tea latte. Sweet and milky with a chill temperature, I’d even go as far as to compare the green tea frappuccino to ice cream (not necessarily green tea …
Charles Rum and Raisin Chocolate
I drink alcohol on occasions and I never drink enough to get drunk. But I do like the taste when it is just there in the background as a subtle flavoured blended into a drink or even dessert.
One day while shopping I ran across a new chocolate bar made …
Snickers Dark Chocolate
Dark Chocolate is my favorite snack. Everytime I see a new brand of dark chocolate, I immediately buy 1 bar to try it. Trying each new brand of dark chocolate is always an adventure for me. I’m always on the lookout for great tasting dark chocolate …
Dairy milk eclairs crunch chocolates
Actually I am a chocolate lover. Along with my children even I love to eat a lot of chocolates sitting at home. I try all kind of chocolates, which I find new or interesting in the market. Once I bought the Dairy milk ‘clairs crunch chocolates …
Il Gelato di San Crispino
Location: The directive of ‘It’s at the Trevi Fountain’ is only half true. The gelateria is actually hidden down a alley a little further away (Via Veneto direction). They also have no signage at the fountain or anywhere else, even the shop barely acknowledges the name, though this makes …
Dim Sum
The popular dish Dim Sum means ‘to touch your heart’ in Cantonese. It consists of a wide variety of dumplings, steamed dishes and other goodies. It has a combination of meat, vegetables, seafood and fruit. Classic dim sum includes bau, dumplings and rice rolls. They are usually served with …

Great Value Apricot & Pineapple Preserves
Last week, I bought a trial 18 oz jar of Great Value Apricot & Pineapple preserves. Today we have finished it, and it is already on our grocery list for the next trip to the store. Yes, we all loved it. I am not particularly fond of apricot, but …
Home Run Inn Frozen Pizza
I have purchased a Home Run Inn Frozen Pizza every week for my family since trying it for the first time several months ago.
I think this is excellent frozen pizza. Our family is very particular about pizza and would maybe buy a frozen pizza twice a year. …
NY Texas Toast
Take a huge slice of french bread, addd butter, garlic and some parmesan cheese, and you’ll have NY Texas Toast. I really love this bread, it makes a wonderful snack after work. This is also a really great thing to have on hand when you’re cooking an authentic italian …
Mentos Gum in Red Fruit - Lime
As an almost-constant gum chewer, I am always on a quest for new experiences. A local convenience store recently had this Mentos Gum on sale, so I opted to give it a try. Of the three flavors, I selected the Red Fruit - Lime.
The little plastic container is both …
Brothers All Natural Fuji Apple Crisps
I had been eating a lot of home made trail mix and one of my friends had included pieces of dried apple in hers. I tried it and liked it but found myself picking out and eating the apple pieces first. My friend shared with brand she had gotten …
Tesco Crazy Caramel
I love these —˜Crazy Caramel’ bars which are from Tesco’s own label, but then I love Mars bars and these are remarkably similar. These are bite size bars so they are smaller than standard Mars bars but a lot bigger than Mars funsize bars for example. Just …
Yellowtail Chardonnay (2003 white wine)
Recently at a wedding I was served what I later found out was Yellowtail brand Chardonnay. When I first sipped it, I thought it was flat champagne (bad comparison) because it had somewhat of a “bite” even though it wasn’t sparkling. The wine wasn’t sweet, but was …
Irish Potato
It is amazing that an item this small can make such a terrible stink. I usually purchase Irish Potatos on a Saturday morning while doing my grocery shopping, they are for Mashed Potatoes or Potatos Salad usually on the Sunday for dinner. I often buy enough to last for …
Banquet: Homestyle Bakes: Country Chicken, Mashed Potatoes and Biscuits
I decided to try this Banquet: Homestyle Bakes: Country Chicken, Mashed Potatoes and Biscuits Meal kit after trying the other kits from the Banquet Homestyle Bakes. I liked those pretty well considering I was short on time and wanted something easy to make for dinner. With this kit, it …
Michelinas Lean Gourmet Sweet and Sour Chicken
Michelinas Lean Gourmet Sweet and Sour Chicken was another one of their selections that I decided to give a try one day for lunch. I had moderate expectations, since I am no stranger to the brand of Michelinas or the dish of sweet and sour chicken.
On the label …
Jack’s Bacon Cheeseburger Frozen Pizza
I was in the mood for a really great, fattening, indulgent pizza. When I found this bacon cheeseburger pizza, I knew it was just what I was craving.
I like pizzas that have lots of toppings and things on them, and I really like innovative kinds of pizzas. So bacon …
Betty Crocker Mac and Cheese: Grilled Cheese Flavor
I previously tried the original flavor of Betty Crocker Mac and Cheese and liked it fairly well. I initially expected it to taste like kraft Mac and cheese, but I was surprised instead to find that it didn’t.
Betty Crocker Mac and Cheese Grilled Cheese Flavor is different from …
Cherry Coke Zero
We were visiting my cousin recently and the only sugar free drink she had was cherry coke zero. I didn’t particularly like the regular coke zero, but thought I’d give the cherry one a try.
Much to my surprise I liked it! I haven’t had cherry flavored coke in …
Vegetarian Vegetable Soup from Venise Maid foods
My daughter and I just ate a can of Condensed Vegetarian Vegetable Soup. The brand is Venise Maid Foods. My daughter seemed to like it well enough but I personally feel that it couldnt get any worse it was so awful! It was the worst tasting vegetarian vegetable soup …
Ahmad tea
First I bought this tea in Russia and fell in love with it right a way. The taste is amazing and price is very reasonable for such a high quality product. The company is British, three generations of family was responsible for its quality.
Back in Russia I was …
Mr. Pudding - Vanilla
I’ve only seen Mr. Pudding pudding products at ALDI, and I think I know why: they just aren’t that good. I wasn’t impressed with the vanilla pudding, and the same can be said for the chocolate pudding, too. Four cups come in a pack and each cup is three …
Land fresh fruit cheese banana
I am not a big fan of banana products, I like banana but I don’t like any other product which has banana in it but today I saw something really interesting at the shop and I just couldn’t resist. In the fridge where I usually take yogurts I saw …
Stouffer’s Family Sized Lasagna
I like to eat lasagna but the only problem I have is I don’t know how to cook it. I remember wanting lasagna for dinner one night, but it was too late to call my mom up for her recipe; therefore, I went out to the local market that …
Lays Kettle Cooked Jalapeno Potato Chips
I love all kind of spicy Potato chips. A few weeks ago I found Lays Kettle Cooked Jalapeno Potato Chips, and they really fit the bill for hot! I bought the Family Size bag, which is a 14oz bag.
