We made Hamburgers the other night and my wife wanted me to pick up a can of baked beans on my way home to go with them.
I ended up at one of our local grocery stores; one of the more expensive ones when it comes to stuff like that. …

Quite often I take my lunch to work and eat in, so I’m always on the prowl for new ideas. I picked up a 15 ounce container of Campbell’s Chunky Chicken & Dumplings Soup at the local grocery store and thought it might be a good thing. I liked …

In recent years, I have had periods of unemployment when I have been so poor that I have been forced to sample the rock-bottom priced value goods available in supermarkets. Some items are not so bad actually, but these Pasta Shapes from the Sainsbury’s Basics brand, are not …

The brand of coffee we use in our home is the Bru, which has excellent flavour and the taste. This is not an international or very famous brand of coffee, but it gives the real taste of coffee. I am not a coffee lover since the …

El Monterey Burritos Beef and Bean Family Pack is a product sold in grocery stores. The burritos sell at a price that’s very appetizing: eight come in a package for just under three dollars. One burrito is large enough and full enough for me as long as I have …

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, …

For some reason, I gambled on buying Michelina’s Swedish Meatballs the other day. The price is right for Michelina’s frozen foods, even though they are Weight Watchers, which I know I don’t like. The thing is that I had one really good one of these and so …

Pizza Hut’s pizza is usually tops in my book. Their pizza is the best you can get and you can find great specials going on at times. However, the new item, Cheezy Bites Pizza wasn’t anything to write home about.

I find these Entenmann’s Glazed Chocolate Pop’ems to be pretty tasty! These are most certainly more flavorful than the plain chocolate pop’ems or really any of the other flavored pop’ems. The combination of chocolate and glazed icing is really something special and it is something that the other pop’ems …

Stouffer’s Cheesy Spaghetti Bake disappointed me because I really enjoy cheese, and I expected this dinner to be quite cheesy and offer a rich cheese flavor. Unfortunately, this meal did not live up to my expectations. While I could certainly taste both the Parmesan and mozzarella cheese, I did …

Bounty chocolate bar is one of the bars I really like. The coconut taste and the chocolate in a milk cream just go perfectly together. I still prefer Snickers to Bounty but Bounty is delitious too and if there’s no Snickers Bounty is my first choice.
Today there are so …

If you’re looking for a filling but affordable meal at The Old Spaghetti House (TOSH) restaurant, you should try their pasta meals. Their pasta meals are actually good for two and you could actually ask them to serve the meal on two separate plates. Not only that their pasta …

Krusteaz Buttermilk Pancake Mix allows for the creation of average tasting pancakes. The reason I say average is because this pancake mix requires the addition of water opposed to milk. Pancakes that are made using water typically fall apart easier and do not quite taste as good or come …

I like to have some gum on me at all times as not only is it good for freshening my post-cigarette breath but it helps to clean my teeth. Gum acts like a mini mouthwash as it gets your saliva flowing and dislodges bits of food remaining after …

I have never known that Hershey’s Kisses Chocolate Truffles existed till I visted a candy shop at Grand Bazaar with my grandparents. It was all because my grandmother wanted ice cream which is why we went in there. This was the first time and place that I had ever …

Stouffer’s Deluxe French Bread Pizza is, unfortunately, quite bland in flavor and turned out to be an overall disappointment. The reason I found it to be bland is because neither the pepperoni nor the sausage delivered on the flavors that I have come to enjoy. Compared with the sausage …

Although out of all the snack pies Little Debbie makes I prefer the cherry variety the most, I feel that this Little Debbie Snack Pie - Peach variety is good too, just like the lemon variety is. The peach chunks taste quite fresh and rich and thankfully, authentic and …
