Frito Lay Barbeque Sunflower Seeds
Frito Lay hands down makes the best sun flower seeds. Their brand of barbeque flavor is simply amazing. Most sunflower seed companies use mostly a salt flavor for barbeque. Not this brand, of course they use salt as a main ingredient, but the flavor is a sweet barbeque. …
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 …
Little Debbie Mini Donuts Glazed
The Little Debbie Mini Donuts Glazed are fine, although most certainly not outstanding or super scrumptious. The mini-donuts have a relatively light but nonetheless flavorful sugar glaze that surrounds the donut. The donut itself is
fine. They do not taste overly fresh, but I would not exactly say that …
Snyder’s of Hanover Cheddar Cheese Pretzel Pieces
Snyder’s of Hanover Cheddar Cheese Pretzel Pieces are very tasty, but also quite hard. I am not so sure why these pretzels are so hard, but they do require quite a bit of chewing and effort to break apart. Nonetheless, I still like munching on these pretzel pieces because …
Trident Layers with Real Fruit Flavor Sugar Free Gum
This is a brand new gum and I just tried it for the first time last week and I am not sure if I like the taste of the gum or the really cool packaging better!
I bought the green apple and golden pineapple flavor gum. I only buy …
Freeflo Fluoridated and Iodized Salt
As of recently, my family has bought only “Freeflo Fluoridated and Iodized Salt” not just because it is cheap and is manufactured locally, but we have also bought it because we think that it is a little better than some of the other cheaper brands of salt.
There are …
Knorr Food Seasonings
There are quite a lot to choose from when it comes to ready to “eat” seasonings available in the market. These products are mainly distributed by only two known brands in the country. These are the Knorr seasoning products and Maggi products. I am not very familiar with the …
Kirkland Signature Bottle Water
I love Kirkland Signature bottled water from Costco. However, you do have to buy an annual membership to Costco to get it.
Living in Las Vegas in 112-degree summers, you drink a lot of liquids. I will drink 1-2 cases of bottled water a week, most …
My Fruit Rollups
Okay, I may have found a snack that I just don’t understand. I’m too old, I’m sure. That has to be the reason. They say two year olds are often smarter than adults in handling technology. It’s like second nature to them. Well, maybe …
International Delight Coffee Whitener French Vanilla
This French Vanilla coffee whitener is quite good. It is fat free with 30 calories per tablespoon (7g of carbs, 5g of sugars) and tastes quite good. You make instant or percolated coffee and pour this product in as you would with milk or cream and it’s quite good. …
Sainsbury’s Dark Roast Freeze Dried Instant Coffee
This Dark Roast Freeze Dried Instant Coffee from Sainsbury’s own brand is indeed, as it says on the label, dark and intense, which incidentally is how I like my men. This is lovely coffee, especially for me as I like a good strong cup which is smooth as …
Busy Baker Cheddar Cheese Baked Snack Crackers
I’m trying to lose a little bit of weight and, one way I am doing that (successfully, I might add), is by cutting back on the amount of soda I drink simply by not drinking any while I’m at work; just water.
A side effect of that is, by 2 …
Priya Sona Masoori Rice
I have tried Priya Sona Masoori Rice this time. They are very nice. The cooked rice is also good. The rice is short and little bit thin. we entire family liked this rice. I bought 5 kg packet from local super market for reasonable price. This rice is very …
Chahine Supermarket
I spent my weekend driving around Calgary stocking up on ingredients for ethnic dishes that I was planning to cook over the next weeks. One of the joys of Calgary is the many ethnic markets in the city, and the best Middle Eastern market, in my opinion and according …
RitterSport Ciocco-Duo
The first thing that struck me about this chocolate was the wrapping because it looks really great. There’s a picture of the chocolate on it but what’s so special is that this chocolate is half white and half brown, so I really couldn’t resist it. I am not a …
Grape Crush Soda
I’ve already done reviews for this product’s ’sisters’ of a sort, Orange Crush and Strawberry Crush, and now it’s time to let Grape Crush Soda take center stage. As I’ve said before, these products were staples in my home as I grew up. They disappeared from sight …
Great Value Mushrooms
I was making spaghetti Friday and wanted some mushrooms to go in my sauce. In an effort to save money, I told my wife to pick up the cheapest brand she could find. That turned out to be the Great Value brand.
I have had Great Value products before and …
Tuna Helper Cheesy Pasta flavor
A product of the Betty Crocker company, Tuna Helper is similar to the Hamburger Helper line of boxed skillet meals. The main difference is that Tuna Helper is designed to incorporate tuna instead of ground beef into a casserole-style dish.
Recently, I have been purchasing a variety of the …
Instant Soups: Ramen Noodle Soup Cup
Ramen Noodle Soup Cup is very easy to make and it tastes good. You open the styrofoam cup, fill it with boiling water up to the line inside, close the lid and let it sit for 3 minutes or so. After that the soup is done (it will be …
Honor Cigarretts
Last week I went into our local stop n go convenience store to purchase some cigarettes. They did not have the brand I normally purchase. I decided to try a new product called Honor, that I spotted because of it’s cheap price. Once home I gave them to my …
Schogetten Praline Noisettes chocolates
I am quite a fan of the Schogetten range of chocolate, which is easily available, at least in most of Europe, from Aldi and Lidl stores. In my case I tend to go to Aldi, but that is simply because it is the closer of the two to where …
Brownstone Baking Co. Bagel Chips Ranch
Brownstone Baking Co. Bagel Chips Ranch are delightful little bagel chips that are quite addicting! They are addicting because of the ranch flavoring that rests on top of each bagel. The ranch flavor is refreshing and tasty and goes great with lunchtime sandwiches or salads or just as a …
Post Cocoa Pebbles
Post Cocoa Pebbles, like Post Fruit Pebbles, has artwork of Fred Flintstone and Barney Rubble on the box. I recall getting more enjoyment out of watching reruns of The Flinstones than eating this cereal. While I definitely wouldn’t call this cereal horrible, it never really was one that I …
Snapps Mozzarella Sticks
I decided to pick up something easy for dinner last night, one of those skillet meals you can find in the freezer section. Because I was concerned it wouldn’t be filling enough, I also decided to pick up something to go with it. After looking around a bit, I …
Nestea Iced Tea ( Orange Flavor )
Nestea is Nestle’s iced tea version. The original iced tea came out originally with lemon flavor. However, it has been infused with several flavors already. Just two days ago, while doing my routine grocery shopping, I came across a new flavor. My eyes was locked when I saw Nestea packed …
Nestle Ice Cream
I really love Nestle ice cream. When I was a kid, one of the truest delights was eating ice cream. Today there are different brands available to us but Nestle is still my choice. It’s just that I find Nestle ice cream the tastiest and most suitable to my …
Sweet Baby Ray’s Honey Chipotle Barbecue Sauce
I first tasted Sweet Baby Ray’s Honey Chipotle Barbecue sauce at my grandparents’ house. It was sent to my grandparents by my aunt from the United States. It tasted so good that I asked her to buy one for me too.
This sauce is one of …
Century Tuna
There are many different brands of canned tuna available in almost all stores today. Most of them are ready-to-eat so lots of busy moms have this in their list of foods to shop. One of the leading brands of canned tuna we have here is Century …
KRAFT Velveeta Shells & Cheese with Bacon
I have tried making KRAFT Velveeta Shells & Cheese with Bacon for the first time, and both my husband and I liked it. It is a quick and tasty side dish, or even a meal if you are not very hungry. The pack includes shell noodles, a pouch of …
Dianora’s Mini Pizzas
Another item my wife and I ended up buying at Save-a-Lot (well, actually, I was the one who picked them out when she wasn’t looking) was Dianora’s Mini Pizzas.
I have purchased similar mini pizzas in the past and wasn’t really expecting much from these. I just figured they would …
Gardenia White Bread Classic
I seldom eat breakfast. If ever I would, it’s something light like bread and chocolate drink. This is of the reasons why I don’t miss out on buying bread every time I go to the groceries because it’s something that I can just grab for a quick meal or …
Wrigley’s Juicy Fruit Strappleberry Chewing Gum
I should probably not watch television as much as I do because one is never sure what they will learn. I stumbled across a program about how chewing gum is made and was educated in the fact that the gum base is a mixture of rubber and plastic, …
Loyd Grossman Korma Curry Sauce
This is the most gorgeous korma sauce from Loyd Grossman’s range. It is perfect for my taste and the best I have ever bought in a jar. I know a lot of people like their hot curries but personally they just blow my head off and I …
Breyers Very Chocolate Cherry Overload!
Breyers Very Chocolate Cherry Overload! is an ice cream creation that blends the flavors of cherries and chocolate together. The cherries are what dominate this ice cream in the form of the ice cream itself having a mildly strong red cherry flavor and the ice cream featuring pieces of …
Dairy Queen’s Mud Pie Blizzard
I just love ice cream. While shopping in the mall I got so tired and hungry I decided to give in to my sweet tooth. I saw the nearest Dairy Queen counter and wanted to get a hold of a Blizzard! There was a huge queue of people wanting …
C-Lium Fibre
Two years ago I had constipation problems that made me try many kinds of local as well as imported brands of tea to help digestion and ease constipation. Some worked for me while others were not so effective. There were times that I’d crash on vegetables and fruits just …
Oasis Extra Light Summer Fruits drink
For quite a few years now, the Oasis range of still fruit drinks has been one that I have looked out for in the summer especially. Carbonated drinks such as Coke or Sprite are all very well in their way, and I am quite fond of both of them, …
Ensure Butter Pecan Drinks
Last month my husband had broke his jaw and had his mouth wired shut so I went to the grocery store to find him some things he could drink thru a straw.
Someone had mentioned to me about getting hime some Ensure Drinks, that they will have all the vitamins …
Albertson’s Steak Sauce
When it comes to steak, I am the queen of it. I love steak and usually buy a large box of them when I do my monthly shopping. Even though I can easily enjoy a steak as is, I sometimes like to eat it with steak sauce. I have …
Bigelow Orange & Spice Herb Tea
Orange & Spice is probably one of the strongest Bigelow’s herb teas. It comes in orange colored teabags, with a personal message from David & Eunice Bigelow, the owners of the company, on the back (all Bigelow teas have that, and the message is different for every variety).
When …
Marks and Spencer Thin and Crispy Pizzas
My favourite style of pizza is thin and crispy and until I discovered the lovely thin and crispy Marks & Spencer pizzas, I could not really find a brand that I liked. The ones I get usually range in price from £3 to £4 which is good considering …
Selecta Gold Series: Ice Cream Royalty Hazelnut Brownie
For people like me with sweet tooth, you will surely know that this is mouth-watering. When I was craving to eat ice cream, I went to the grocery to buy something. All that was left in the freezer is Selecta Gold Series: Ice Cream Royalty Hazelnut Brownie. I am …
S&R Del Monte Orange Freshly Squeezed Juice
I love to drink orange juice, but I wanted to try the freshly squeezed ones inside the S&R grocery at the Fort. My mom has always bought these juice bottles and I always was intrigued as to how it was made. So I went over to the juicer station …
Uncle Sal’s Spectacular Pan Style Pizza from Rocky Rococo
This is my all-time favorite pizza from Rocky Rococo. Every day Rocky Rococo has a different pizza served on a different day, called the Slice of the Day. Uncle Sal’s Spectacular is served on Mondays. If I am downtown on Monday during the lunch hour, I will always stop …
Hostess Fruit Pies - French Apple
Just like the apple variety, the french apple pie made by Hostess is truly nothing to get excited about at all. Just as the apple variety boasted a somewhat artificial flavor as well as a dull apple flavor, this french apple variety does exactly the same thing. This is …
Kellogg’s Fiber Plus Antioxidants Chewy Bars
Any food that has the words fiber and antioxidants in the title is something that I normally would never buy. It is not that I don’t care about nutrition, or that I don’t eat foods with fiber and antioxidants, it is just that I get those ingredients from healthy …
Ritter Sport Coconut
I absolutely love this chocolate bar. Ritter Sport makes a lot of different types of bars, but the coconut is like heaven on a highway. I just can’t get enough of it. Every little square of the bar is filled with coconuts covered by the sweetest chocolate you’re ever …
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. …
