Market Pantry Party Mix Zesty
The Market Pantry Party Mix Zesty is a nut mix that’s sold only at Target stores as it’s a Target brand product. It comes in a forty-eight ounce container that retails for just under four dollars. I only bought this mix once, but I was pretty satisfied with its …
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 …
Marie Callender’s Fettuccini Alfredo and Garlic Bread
I typically like microwave/oven made meals so I decided to try Marie Callender’s Fettuccini Alfredo with Garlic Bread. I was really not pleased with this product.
I removed the plastic cover expecting to taste delicious noodles, tender veggies and flavorful garlic bread. The vegetables were sparse in quantity and lacked …
Accents Flavor Enhancer
One day, while “chewing the fat” with a fellow employee at work, I was told about a wonderful seasoning enhancer named Accents. I hadn’t heard a thing about it, and my co-worker was extremely surprised- to say the least. She told me that she’d bring me a little in …
Banquet Chicken Tenders
I really have got to do some food shopping. I got home today for lunch and realized there wasn’t anything to eat. So, I ended up making some of the Banquet Chicken Tenders I picked up for my daughter.
They were OK but they weren’t great.
I only buy this brand because …
NOS Energy Drink
Crack in a bottle. Let me explain… These NOS energy drinks blow Redbull out of the water. The taste is 2x better, it may be because more sugar or more crack, just joking. This drink will leave you wired, however with all energy drinks with …
SweetTarts
I have always had a sweet spot for sweet tarts. The small bite sized candy always tastes great and has a light tangy taste that I really enjoy. one of the best parts of sweet tarts is that it is a fatfree candy. It is made of sugar, so …
Mentos mini candies orange
When I was younger I remember that Mentos candies were really popular, everybody liked it and everybody was buying it all the time. I remember they were coming in really big packs and they were of very different colours.
About a week ago I saw it in one shop that …
Charles Soca
I love sweets and chocolate and you can not imagine how delighted I was when the Charles chocolate company brought out a product by the name of Soca. Now you may wonder why I was so excited about this product. Well only because of it’s lovely center which is …
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 …
Mayfield Iced Tea
I’m the type of iced tea lover who’s extremely picky about the teas I drink. When in restaurants, I hate when the waitress refills my iced-tea glass without asking-completely disturbing my perfect tea/sugar ratio. With that being said, I discovered Mayfield’s Iced Tea in the gallon …
Tesco Value Malt Loaf
I have been trying to cut down on my spending lately and have been sampling the delights the Tesco Value range has to offer. At the ridiculously low prices they are selling for, you should not expect anything to be of the highest quality, but some products in …
Wendy’s 1/4 lb. Single Burger
Wendy’s 1/4 lb. Single Burger is a burger that I ordered once, but then realized I would be better off not ordering again because the American cheese was something that I had to pay extra for. Without the American cheese, the burger simply would not be worth eating for …
Blue Bunny Original Ice Cream French Vanilla
Unfortunately, Blue Bunny Original Ice Cream French Vanilla is not quite as good as the premium French vanilla ice cream, also made by Blue Bunny. I suppose I really should not be surprised because this ice cream cost less than the premium ice cream. The difference between this original …
Wibisco Shirley Biscuits
I remember that these have been around for a very long time, even though I’m not sure if the same company Wibisco used to make them when I was little. I do know though that I started hating them after a while, probably because my parents used to buy …
Lays Barbecue Flavor Potato Chips
Oddly, as a child I really didn’t like Lays Barbecue Flavor Potato Chips. It wasn’t the Lays brand, but the barbecue taste didn’t appeal to me. We had it alot because my sister preferred it over the classic chips. However, as did some other foods, the …
Leona’s Apple Walnut cake
Leona’s is a locally owned bakeshop popular in Cebu City. When my mom wanted to bring me there to buy some locally made pastries and bread, I wasn’t too excited. But when we got there, I understood why she wanted to go.
I bought Leona’s Apple Walnut cake slice. For …
Snickers Creme Hearts
I don’t recall seeing Snickers Creme Hearts in years past so it may be a new item for the 2010 Valentine’s Day celebration. These small one-ounce treats come in a red package which actually shows what the candy will like out though it’s a conceptual image and not …
Little Debbie 100 Calorie Yellow Cakes
I found these Little Debbie 100 Calorie Yellow Cakes to be pretty average in flavor. If you have ever had a regular yellow cake before, you know that the flavor is inherently none too impressive, but it can make for a light and fluffy snack that does not spike …
Smart Ones Fettucini Alfredo frozen entree
Associated with the Weight Watchers weight loss program, the Smart Ones frozen entrees are, in my opinion, some of the tastiest frozen entrees around — at least when comparing those that have reduced fat and calorie counts. If you are on the Weight Watchers weight loss program, another …
Nescafe Gold Blend Instant Coffee
Nescafe Gold Blend is an instant coffee that I have been buying for years as it is a reliable, quality coffee. It is marketed as a premium instant coffee and you may remember the sexy Gold Blend ad campaign of the 90s aimed at a social-climbing, middle-class audience. …
Entenmens Softees Powdered Sugar
Entenmens Softees are the perfect breakfast treat. The bag comes with twenty small doughnuts that can be enjoyed as a brekfast food , or later in the day as a delightful snack.
I really like this particular brand of doughnuts. They alway are soft when I open them, and stay …
Banannas
I recently read that banannas are acutally more nutritious than apples. I found that ironic because the old saying, “an apple a day keeps the doctor away”, has been around for so darn long! Supposedly, while apples do offer a wide variety of nutrients and vitamins that …
Ice Creams of Scoopery
Scoopery is a small booth which sells only ice creams and is located in the upper ground floor of SM City Fairview. They also have other branches in other places, but usually in malls. The booth itself is just small and simple, and with only one …

Highland Brewing Company Thunderstruck Porter
There are so many local breweries in Asheville, North Carolina, and I finally got to try one of Highland Brewing Company’s seasonal brews: their Thunderstruck Coffee Porter. I really like porters and darker beers in general, and this beer is definitely a good solid porter.
I first tried the beer …
Borbello 4 Meat Pizza
I wrote before that I tried pizzas from the brand Borbello and liked them. Since they were still on sale, I decided to pick up a couple different varieties to give them a try. Since they didn’t have the Hawaiian pizza my wife wanted to try, I ended up …

Crush Orange Soda
I have always been a huge fan of Pepsi products, but since I am on such a tight budget I only buy it when it is on sale. The last time, probably around Memorial Day, they had a lot of deals on Pepsi products, and I got a variety …
Reno Liver Spread
I’ve been preparing snacks for my two kids everyday and I’m already running out of spreads I could use for their sandwiches. I’ve already tried cheese spreads, sandwich spreads, hams, fruit jams, eggs, and a lot more when I discovered this Reno Liver Spread. I actually …
Wudy Ketchup, frankfurters by Aia Food
When it comes to breakfast I usually eat cereals or something fast. I rarely skip it because if I do then later I feel hungry but since I started living with my boyfriend at least once a month, usually during the weekend, we indulge in Wudy frankfurters in the morning. …
Michelina’s Macaroni & Cheese with Ham
Michelina’s Macaroni & Cheese with Ham is something that is mildly satisfying to have for lunch or to have as a side dish with dinner. I was skeptical at first as to whether or not I was going to like this combination of macaroni and cheese and ham all …
Yo Crunch Yogurt
I tried this yogurt the other day. I had the Oreo kind for dessert after dinner. It is really good and better for you than a lot of desserts. The Oreo kind has little crunchy things on top that you pour into the yogurt and mix it up. It …
Honeycomb cereal
Honeycomb cereal is a pleasantly sweet cereal which is crunchy and doesn’t really taste like honey at all. Some key features are that it is has low fat, 10 essential vitamins, and iron and zinc. It has 130 calories for 1.5 cups, which is a very reasonable amount. However, …

Stouffer’s Easy Express Skillets Chicken & Pasta Parmesan
Stouffer’s Easy Express Skillets Chicken & Pasta Parmesan is a meal that I like. It is not the tastiest meal that I have ever purchased from the frozen food section of the grocery store, but I do enjoy having it. What I like about this meal is the chicken …
Kellogg’s Cinnabon Bars - Original
Recently, I decided to purchase Kellogg’s Cinnabon Bars and see how they tasted. I’ve occasionally enjoyed hot, fresh Cinnabons at the food court, so I was intrigued to see how they translated to these bars from my favorite cereal brand, Kellogg’s.
Kellogg’s Cinnabon Bars are ready to eat or …
Ruth Chris Steakhouse near Madison, WI
We were suggested to go to this website about a year ago from one of my coworkers. I had seen this restaurant and, being a huge steak enthusiast, decided to go check it out for my birthday. Well, the first thing that I noticed was that it was quite …
Nestle Bear Brand Busog Lusog Family Cereal Drink
Nestle Bear Brand launched its Busog Lusog Family Cereal Drink recently and I was given several packets of it. I have grown up with most of Nestle products, and Bear Brand is the milk that I grew up with, and so I thought that was an assurance of …

Lipton Instant Tea

‘Four Roses’ Bourbon
I am a sucker for a decent drink, whether it be a good beer, a pleasant wine, or a glass of something warming on a cold, winter’s day. In this case, many years ago, I discovered a drink which is available over here, but not widely so. This is …
Breezy Spring Harvest of Heaven Select Pure Apple Crispy Snack
I found the Breezy Spring Harvest of Heaven Select Pure Apple Crispy Snack online on Alice.com. These little apple snacks cost me $1.89 for a little 0.67 ounce pack —“ but, if you buy dried fruit, you know that none if it is cheap. Dried fruit is …
Red Gold Tomato Ketchup
Red Gold Tomato Ketchup is available at our United Grocery Outlet Store for .59 cents a bottle. The bottle is 20 ounces and it is a shorter type of bottle which fits better in the door of my refrigerator. Ketchup is one of the condiments in our house that …
Cadbury’s Fingers chocolate biscuits
I will be quite honest here and admit that I eat a good deal more Cadbury’s Fingers than I really should, because they are just so tasty! That comment could apply to a lot of chocolate products, in particular those from Cadbury, but these more than most. I discovered …
Gatorade Propel Vitamin Water
I often drink something before I work out. I helps me maintain good strength and endurance while doing cardio and can accomplish the repetitions that I will have. My program as given by my personal trainer is all about toning. I am not really fat but I just need …
Chick-fil-A Icedream
Icedream is simply the name that Chick-fil-A gives to its ice cream. It is indeed a dream though! The flavor of the vanilla ice cream is quite spectacular. The vanilla flavor is rich and the texture creamy - each lick is a real taste sensation! Although I cannot say …
Sam’s Market (Berkeley, CA next to campus)
One of my favorite places hands down to go eat at in Berkeley. There are very few people who I have also talked to that disagree that Sam’s is an amazing store. Being brought onto the crucial telegraph space next to Walgreens a few years ago, it is one of …
Cerelac Food For Babies
Babies can be sometimes choosy when it comes to the meal you prepared for them. I know, because I once became a baby sitter for my 8 months old cousin. It was just for a day though, and I must say that my baby sitting went well. I am …
