Great Value Garlic Texas Toast
Before ALDI opened up in my area, I used to purchase the Walmart Great Value Garlic Texas Toast because it was the cheapest Texas Toast I could find at just a dollar seventy-four a box for eight slices. That easily beat the national brands like New York Style and …
Blue Bunny Double Strawberry Sedona Frozen Yogurt Granola Sandwiches
Blue Bunny Double Strawberry Sedona Frozen Yogurt Granola Sandwiches are not quite as good as the Double Strawberry Aspenâ„¢ Frozen Yogurt Granola Bars. What makes me prefer the latter to the former? For one, these sandwiches do not have any vanilla where as the bars have a vanilla coating. …
Sunsweet Prune Juice
I have got into the healthy habit of drinking a small glass of Sunsweet Prune Juice every morning with my breakfast and I have noticed a difference to my digestive system. I have to admit that I do not like prunes at all and since trying them as …
Great Value Pecan Rolls
My wife recently bought a box of pecan rolls from the brand Great Value for $1. We weren’t really expecting too much from this product; mostly because of the price and because we don’t really trust our Walmart when it comes to food items, but, I have to admit, …

Little Debbie Fudge Rounds
Although I am not overly crazy about these Little Debbie Fudge Rounds, I nonetheless purchase them from time to time. The fudge flavor is a little on the dull side, but the flavor that is there, I do like. If the fudge flavor was a little richer, I certainly …
Hostess Fruit Pies - Blackberry
Like the pineapple variety, here is yet another variety that you do not see too often: blackberry! These Hostess Fruit Pies - Blackberry variety offer a pretty authentic blackberry flavor that I do enjoy. What I do not enjoy is the horrendous crust that really detracts from my enjoyment …

Stouffer’s Macaroni & Beef
I found Stouffer’s Macaroni & Beef to be a relatively decent meal, although certainly nothing spectacular or overly memorable. I am not even sure that I will be purchasing it a second time, actually. One of the reasons I am not sure is because this meal is really not …
Alpro soya milk
You don’t have to be a vegan to enjoy Alpro soya milk. It can be enjoyed by anyone. It tastes really nice, nicer than cows milk in my opinion. I have only tried the sweetened version, which is great on cereal. If you want to avoid …

I received a can of Hamper Corned Beef two weeks ago from a package I got from Australia. Hamper is a subsidy of Heinz Foods. Corned beef has been a breakfast favorite here in my country. It is one of my favorite viands and I always savor this food. …
Sainsbury’s Medium Cheddar Slices with Cracked Black Pepper
This medium cheddar cheese is particularly tasty as it has cracked black pepper strewn throughout it. What I like is that as I am eating it, I will bite one of the black pepper bits and some good heat hits my tastebuds. This was pretty economical cheese …
Selecta Choco Almond Fudge Ice Cream
Being a true-blue chocolate lover, I was excited to try this new flavor from Selecta’s ice cream selection. I bought the 800ml pint of Choco Almond Fudge for only approximately $2.80, and with that price it’s really not that expensive for something that 2 persons can share to, maybe …
Kiki fruit toffee by Kras

I bought the V8 Splash Melange Tropical Blend beverage from London Drugs on May 12, 2010 for Canadian $3.50 or $7.00 for two. It was on sale and I thought it was a terrific idea to get this manager’s special. I thought I made the right decision.

Aunt Jemima Scrambled Eggs and Sausage Breakfast

Wal-Mart brand “Chocolate Sammies”
Someone packed these little treats along for a vacation, and I at first thought I was going to be in heaven. Chocolate Sammies, in the pack, look like little cakes with lots of chocolate frosting in between. But upon closer examination, I realize that these …
Great Value Cream of Mushroom Condensed Soup
I use Great Value Cream of Mushroom Condensed Soup mostly for cooking, although it tastes good just as soup as well. Campbell’s is still my favorite though, there is a slight taste difference, and it is less lumpy. But when it comes to casseroles, chicken, and stroganoff, the Great …
Rockstar Punched Energy Drink
This drink blows all other energy drinks away!

Lean Pocket: Chicken, Broccoli, & Reduced Fat Cheddar
I do not have very many good things to say about Lean Pocket: Chicken, Broccoli, & Reduced Fat Cheddar. About the only positive quality that this Lean Pocket has to offer is quality chicken. The chicken was pretty flavorful and tender, too. It was in very small pieces, but …
Kellogg’s Special K Protein Bars

Blend 45 Coffee
I do not regularly buy Blend 45, I choose to buy Nescafe Coffee and Great Taste brand of coffee. The reason why I bought one it is either I get tired of tasting Nescafe or Great Taste is not available. In addition, if I want to save money I …
Envidia Green Tea Apple Flavor
I am starting to be a health freak. I monitor the nutritional facts of the foods I take in. Envidia Green Tea caught my attention by their commercial with the catchy line “One Two Zero”. One for having EGCG (Epigallocathecin Gallate), two for two times power of L-Carnitine and …

Keebler Fudge Shoppe Peanut Butter Sticks

McDonalds Double Cheeseburgers
How could anyone go wrong with a double cheeseburger from Mcdonalds. the price is only a dollar with it being on the dollar menu. Its been one of America’s favorites for centuries. Sure it might be a bit greasy, but hey all Mcdonalds burgers are greasy. But its oh …

Tontino’s Pizza Rolls
Totino’s Pizza Rolls from Pillsbury are a fantastic way to snack. And they’re pretty filling just by themselves. I love the pepperoni in them, it reminds me of those odd shaped pizzas you’d get in the school lunch room.
I’m a fan of anything in the freeze aisle at the …
Ritter Sport Coconut
