Meiji Banana Chocolate
Being my favorite brand after being hooked to their Macadamia Nuts chocolate, I have patronized this brand. Sometimes when I am in Singapore, I have to check some of the available variety under their chocolates section. I have known the brand since grade school because of Yan Yan. This …
Season’s Choice Vegetables
One of the things my wife picked up in a recent visit to our local Aldi store was a bag of “steamable” vegetables from the brand Season’s Choice. We ended up having those as part of dinner last night and I was very impressed with these.
I like vegetables that …
Breadsticks from Rocky Rococo
I eat at Rocky Rococo’s once or twice a week at their downtown location and I love their breadsticks. Every time I eat here it seems that each person in front of me orders them, too. They are very delicious and baked perfectly each time. Not once have I …
Vitasoy Melon-Flavoured Soy Drink
I wan on my way to work, but really needed a small snack. I have been rather dehydrated these days. So I grabbed a bun and searched for a drink in the refrigerator of 7-Eleven store.
I thought that I lacked calcium, so I took a soy drink. The vitasoy …
Maltesers Instant Hot Chocolate
As I love Maltesers chocolates and enjoy drinking hot chocolate it seemed logical that I should try this product! Its rounded, curvy jar makes it look like a really fun drink, and the picture of the Malteser wearing a halo, above the message “only 99 calories per serving” …
Kraft: Easy Mac
Easy Mac is an invention that is targeted toward younger children and it is supposed to make maccaroni and cheese an easy dish for kids to make. However, it fails to do this because I got this product for my cousin and she was unable to figure out just …
Betty Crocker Sour Cream and Chives Potatoes

Pringles Extreme Screaming Dill Pickle Potato Chips
Pickles and chips just seem to go together with burgers or sandwiches of any kind. I was very happy when I found these dill pickle flavored potato chips because I love pickles, I always have a big jar of them in the refrigerator.
I like foods with very strong flavors …
Nutrimalt
I love Malta drinks even though most people around me can’t get used to the taste. Usually I will go for Malta. It is the only brand that I consider “nice” - but that’s mainly because I had never tried other brands before.
Few days …
Trattoria Alfredo Pizza Quattro formaggi
Hi there,
As you might have figured out by now, today I am going to review a frozen meal: Trattoria Alfredo pizza Quattro Formaggi.
I have found this pizza at Lidl, a grocery store and paid just 2 dollars for it. It was on sale so I wanted to see if it …
Clara Ole Thousand Island Dressing
I love eating fish because it does not have fats and it has health benefits. Salmon can prevent wrinkles and takes care of the heart like no other. But in cooking it, avoid deep frying any food. This would save you from absorbing oil in your system. I usually …
Patrick Cudahy Breakfast Sausage Links
Product Description: Bag of 24 pre-cooked frozen sausage links. Available at one of our local grocery stores (I’m guessing it is only available at select stores) for about $3.50.
What I liked about this product: I have found, as far as breakfast goes at least, you can’t go wrong with …
Pizza Hut Thin Crust Pizza
I was literally quite shocked when I tried Pizza Hut’s thin crust pizza. I think prior to trying the thin crust pizza, I had only experienced the pan pizza that Pizza Hut makes, which is quite heavy and at times, overly filling. The thin crust pizza, however, …

I am a loving fan of Buddig lunch meat. After trying their honey ham I was curious about their Turkey deli meat. I usually stick to Oscar Myers but as a person with an open mind I like try different things out. Often times I turn into Turkey meat …
Spice Club Sea Salt Grinder
This review is for a coarse sea salt seasoning in a container with a grinder from the company, Spice Club. This item is actually just like a regular container of seasoning, but it has a grinder on the end of it instead of just holes to shake it out …

Breakfast Burrito from Sonic’s new $1 Menu

Kashi GoLean Chewy Cookies and Cream Protein and Fiber Bar
Kashi often makes good and healthy cereals and snacks. When I bought this product, I was looking for something that would taste indulgent and still be healthful.

Pillsbury Grands! Butter Tastin’ Frozen Biscuits

Healthy food-Fit & Active Dried Fruit Mix

Holiday Luncheon Meat 340g/12oz
Holiday luncheon meat is your best friend in these tough times. It packs a lot of meat for just Canadian $1.25. I usually buy four or five of this because I’ll never know when I’ll need it. For example, if you didn’t have time to shop for …
Sargento - Deli Style Sliced Swiss Cheese
Sargento - Deli Style Sliced Swiss Cheese is a Swiss cheese that I used to purchase quite often, along with the baby Swiss cheese. The reason I used to purchase it is because I liked how pretty much unlike every other cheese out there, the Swiss cheese would bring …
Sundae Shoppe Sundae Nut Cones Chocolate Core
The Sundae Shoppe Sundae Nut Cones Chocolate Core suffer from the same problems that the Sundae Shoppe Sundae Nut Cones Caramel Core exhibit, and those problems are very little core flavor and a cone that just doesn’t taste like very much. First though, the main problem I have with …
Manning’s Cookie Shop Maple Leaf Creme Cookies
I purchased these cookies from the “Dollar Tree” because I like maple-flavored foods. I knew that I was purchasing a cookie that would be sweet, but I had no idea that these cookies would be so ridiculously sweet! These cookies are like pure sugar and that isn’t a good …
Nature Valley Oats ‘N Honey Granola Bar
Granola bars are something I have for my breakfast practically every morning. Unfortunately, I am not someone who is very fast at getting ready in the morning, so I always need something that I can quickly have that is relatively healthy. The Nature Valley honey and oats granola bar …
Frito Rio
Have you ever tried eating a fried ice cream? This may seem really awkward but I guess it is just marvelous seeing something like this prepared in front of you. The melted ice cream is poured into a metal pan and it is fried right in front of …

The All New Nescafe Mocha Canned Drink in 240ml
My mother and I bought some groceries and I included the all-new Nescafe Mocha canned drink in 240ml at around 20 pesos. It is now available in all supermarkets and groceries. I haven’t seen this one before so I decided to include it into the cart.
When I got …
Applebee’s Southern Chicken Sliders
It may be the cheapest entrée on their menu but it’s better to spend your money on something else. What you get is a deep-fried morsel of chicken on a dinner roll and a pickle that spans 1/3 of the bun. This is not the dish to …
Great Value: Hamburger Buns
Great Value: Hamburger Buns taste fine when compared with name brand products. After all, there is really not much to a hamburger bun, now is there? These hamburger buns are soft and a decent size too and do a decent job holding a good sized burger with some toppings …
Sara Lee: Onion Deluxe Bagels
It is a real shame that these Sara Lee: Onion Deluxe Bagels are not as delicious as the Sara Lee Deluxe Blueberry Bagels. I guess my expectations were set pretty high after I discovered that Sara Lee makes about the best blueberry bagels that I have tasted, and so, …
Kenton Schoke Mousse
in Chocolate caught my eye. I was tired of traditional chocolate puddings, and thought this mousse might make an interesting desert for my family. It retailed for $2.99CDN.

Cooper’s Lite Garlic Texas Toast
There’s not much difference in the number of calories in “Cooper’s Lite Garlic Texas Toast” and “Cooper’s Garlic Texas Toast”. The difference is thirty calories, actually. There’s also fifty percent less fat, but the fat content isn’t as significant as the calorie content, and the number of calories difference …
Season’s Choice Corn On The Cob (Six Pack)
Six ears of corn come in the Season’s Choice Corn On The Cob pack at ALDI Food Market stores for one dollar and twenty-nine cents. The corn on the cob is cut into convenient halves, thus it’s a lot shorter than the non-refrigerated corn for sale in the produce …
