Sainsbury’s Basics Baked Beans in Tomato Sauce
Baked beans in tomato sauce are about the most basic of all basics when it comes to British cooking, since we eat far more baked beans than just about any other country in the world. Sainsbury’s budget “Basics” range therefore carries a fairly good selection of similar products, but …
Michelina’s Wheels & Cheese
This is a very simple frozen meal, to be sure. I can’t even really say that it’s a meal even because just the amount of pasta that comes in a package isn’t sufficient to fill me up. When I had this frozen meal, I added a salad that I …
Banquet Turkey Pot Pies
It used to be that, when I needed a quick and easy dinner, I could rely on Banquet Pot Pies. That’s no longer the case.

Great Value Homestyle Pimento Spread

Lay’s salt & vinegar flavored potato chips
You can find the bags of salt & vinegar flavored Lay’s in 2 sizes, but I always buy the big one as I’m really in love with this potato chips. It’s true that, like many other brands, they fill the bags with more air than potatoes, but that’s only …

Jelly Belly Lollibeans
I fully admit to having a love of Jelly Belly jellybeans. They were the first (and maybe only) company to make Dr. Pepper flavored jellybeans and they have a lot of flavors that you just can’t find anywhere else. They are now making suckers, which they call Lollibeans. I …

Kraft Original Macaroni and Cheese

Cafe Breton’s Gallete Don Quixote Gourmet Crepe

Lays Kettle Cooked Mesquite BBQ Extra Crunchy
Lays Kettle Cooked Mesquite BBQ Extra Crunchy are potato chips that I will not purchase again for a couple of reasons. First of all, this potato chip just strikes me as being too sweet. I feel that barbecue should not be this sweet. I also found that the sweet …
Nescafe Ice Java Icedd Coffee Syrup

Scoopy’s Cake Cups
This product may be called Scoopy’s Cake Cups, but I refer to them as ice cream cones. That’s what they are to me. I honestly don’t know if this is the brand my family purchased often in years past because it’s been a very long time since …
Torani Cherry Syrup
My boyfriend’s favorite soda is cherry, which is not a very common soda. I decided to get him a soda maker along with this Torani cherry flavored syrup for Christmas, and we both really love this syrup.

Itsy Bitsy Cookies
I’m not sure if it’s a Jamaican product, but Itsy Bitsy cookies first came on the Jamaican market in the nineteen nineties. I can remember because I was in prep school at the time and many of the children there used to carry them to school or even trade …
Slimfit Tropical Fruit Powdered Drink
A lot of slimming products in the market are quite competing with one another with claims like ‘fastest fat burner’ or ‘contains 100% L-Carnitine’. However, my mom recommended Slimfit for me. It doesn’t sound popular in the market nowadays but I find it very effective.
I was having a hard …
Mrs. Baird’s: Powdered Sugar Donuts Grab N’ Go
Mrs. Baird’s: Powdered Sugar Donuts Grab N’ Go are mini donuts. In two bites, a mini donut is gone, thus making these small donuts convenient for munching when in an hurry. Of course, considered the mess that powdered sugar makes, I would not recommend eating these if you are …
Energy Sumseeds: Energized Sunflower Seeds

Mikasan Choco Flakes

Kikoman Tempura and Noodle Sauce
I actually love to cook and experiment on new foods. It excites me so much whenever I find a new ingredient I could use for my recipe. One day, while were eating out at a Japanese restaurant, the mixed tempura we ordered was really fine but what caught my …
Trader Joe’s Low Sodium Minestrone Soup
Minestrone soup can either be wonderful or awful; rarely have I run into minestrone soup that didn’t fit into one of these categories. Usually, I find minestrone is wonderful and I’m always up for trying new varieties to see what kinds of things people do with it.
When I bought …
Marie Callender’s Country Fried Pork Chop
With all the frozen varieties of Marie Callender’s that I’ve purchased over the years, I have never chosen one that has a pork chop in it. I love pork chops, but for some reason, I haven’t purchased them in any frozen capacity. However, I’ve been doing a …
Newman’s Own All Natural Chunky Salsa - Mild
