I like to review these bargain-basement cheap products as some of them are quite passable even though you would expect it to taste disgusting at the price. I bought a big 1kg bag of muesli from the Sainsbury’s Basics range for about 30p. This will keep me …

Ok it is true, I am almost 27 years odl and my favourite chocolate is the chocolate for kids. I really wonder how many grown ups can say that they don’t like this chocolate? I guess our taste doesn’t change that much with years because when I was little …

I have been drinking Slim-Fast for about 2 years solid now. I have one for breakfast every morning. I only like the rich chocolate royale flavor shake. The other flavors gross me out leaving a weird after taste. The rich chocolate royale flavor is really good though. The bars …

Marie Callender’s has a bunch of new flavors out for their Fresh Flavor Steamer line. I’ve tried a couple of the original ones and wasn’t that impressed, but these new flavors sounded enticing, so I began with Rigatoni Marinara Classico which, per the package, is “Rigatoni in a …

When you buy orange juice, it’s difficult to choose, as even if they’re all supposed to be the same product, they all end up tasting different in the end.
One of the brands that I have tried is Don Simon. The first good thing that I noticed about this orange …

To be honest, I never really thought much about house brand products. I love Marks & Spenser clothing items but never paid attention to their tit bit and food section.
I received the Marks & Spenser 10 Snacktime Assortment as a gift for Christmas from my neighbor. Usually …

I am not all that crazy about Little Debbie Easter Puffs, although I would be if they would just remove one thing from the puffs. These puffs have chocolate on the inside and marshmallow on the outside and there is also a white icing coated beneath the marshmallow. There …

Rice is the staple food in the Philippines. And what goes perfectly with rice? I’d say adobo. It’s a native Filipino dish which is basically just meat (chicken or pork) cooked to simmer in a mixture of soy sauce and vinegar as well as some seasoning. Preparing it is …

A coffee is not a coffe if it’s not Nescafe!!!!!
Who doesn’t love the addicting aroma of hot steaming coffe every morning? Of course everyone loves it; so do I.
They said that coffee is bad for one’s health but it doesn’t bother me at all. I love its …

I purchased this Cheese & Onion Pie from Marks & Spencer today and it is something I have purchased many times before. I was feeling a bit poorly today and did not feel like a big meal so just cooked up a small portion of this pie …

I miss drinking YMA Apple Cinnamon Flavored Water. It is not that it has been discontinued - I could still easily purchase this water if I so desired, and I do, but I have to control that desire and work to stifle it because this water is, quite unfortunately, …

I find Buehler’s Gourmet Break ‘N Bake Cookie Dough Peanut Butter Cup cookies to be somewhat average in terms of flavor. For a dollar eighty-nine, they just aren’t quite worth the money. These peanut butter cookies are not all peanut butter, but rather, there are pockets of peanut butter. …

Not too long ago, I needed organic apple juice as part of a gall-stone cleaning remedy. Not being a big fan of apple juice, I wasn’t too thrilled about that, but I decided to try it out, anyway. Upon going to the store, they only had two …

Kroger Raisin Bran contains just as many raisins and just as many crunchy flakes as the name brand Kellogg’s Raisin Bran, plus, the Kroger store brand variety is sold for a lower price. That is why I purchase the Kroger store brand over the name brand. It is just …

Pure chocolate mixed with milk, and we can blend it with ice. We can also put whipping cream with choco granule to sweeten its style; this beverage is too thick for me. It could make me vomit if I drink it all at once. But if you really love …

A family friend brought us the Old Fashioned Banana Cake from Café Georg, which is a popular café in Cebu City, Philippines. The banana cake was actually a loaf which was already sliced evenly into slices that were just right; not too thin, not too thick. It …

One of the first things I noticed when I picked up a 12-pack of Tropicana Lemonade is it had one an award from the American Culinary Chefsbest for best taste. That isn�t why I bought it. I got it because it was on sale.
But, after trying it, I have …

My kids just love eating Nestle Honey Stars for their daily breakfast. Even I as an adult can’t help but eat this wonderful and healthy snack as well. The packaging is nice and labels are easy to understand. It is jampacked with vitamins and minerals that can help my …

Pillsbury Creamy Supreme Milk Chocolate Frosting is a brand and variety I tend to buy from time to time. So often, cake mixes and frostings are too expensive, so I tend to buy a brand when its on sale. What is interesting to me is that most …

I’m a professional sprinter, and I honestly don’t know if I could survive without this multivitamin. I train 3 times a day, 4 days a week, which takes it toll. I needed something that would replenish my body and help me recover as quickly as possible. After doing a …

One of the items that is available in the frozen foods section at most stores is Gorton’s Grilled Salmon. Obviously if you are not a fan of sea food you will not like this product, however, Gorton’s Grilled Salmon is an excellent dinner item. I would say …

I have Prince Albert’s soft and sweet vanilla cigars. They are little cigars that taste very good and fairly inexpensive at just 4.79 a box at the local CVS. These little cigars come with a filter tip so you dont have the nasty cigar taste in your …

Although pringles potato chips have been around for a long time. I find that they now have many different brands however they also are very salty. They do now come salt free but to me taste like one is chewing on cardboard. Even though they stay …

One day me and a few school friends of mine decided to grab a quick bite at our local McDonald joint. The nearest one, only an estimated 6-7 minutes in driving distance (round trip) from our school. We choose to go through the drive through thinking it’s faster than going …

These potato chips are very nice. They are light and crispy - very thinly sliced, and the pepper flavour is very delicate - not at all overwhelming. The sea salt is nice, too - the saltiness of any potato chip is important, but I don’t like it when they …

Smucker’s Strawberry Preserves are some of the tastiest preserves you will ever get your hands on. I love the chunks of strawberry that I get from Smucker’s Strawberry Preserves. It makes them taste even better and you know that they are using a lot of real strawberries. I purchase …

Many people have made New Year’s resolutions to lose weight in the upcoming year. As someone who is dieting myself I can tell you that finding good “diet frozen lunches” can be tough. Luckily Lean Cuisine has produced Thai Style Chicken. The Thai Style Chicken from Lean Cuisine is …

I don’t usually stray from Taco Bell’s main menu. I’ve been eating the same 4 or 5 value meals since I was in fifth grade (save for minor changes to the menu.) Well, I ended up trying a 1/2 pound cheesy potato burrito and loved it, but I didn’t …

I recently found my new favourite liqueur, and I have been making some amazing drinks with it. I don’t buy creamy liqueurs often, usually a couple of times a year during the winter; I don’t need the extra calories, and for me they are more like a dessert than …

Hamburger Helper is a line of skillet dinner mixes from the Betty Crocker company. Hamburger Helper comes in a number of different flavors, all of which are based on the idea that you add the contents of the mix to a pound of …

Milo is the tonic food drink my kids are enjoying everyday. Because of their being actively involved in sports and other extra-curricular activites, they need an energy drink to sustain them to finish their tasks. I have been trying many products in the market but …

Taco Bell’s beefy five layer burrito is nothing short of amazing. Personally, I have eaten hundreds of these since they hit the locations. The burritos are only 89 cents, but taste a great deal better than a plain bean burrito of similar cost. They are great for anyone who …

Dolciaria Balconi is a famous brand of confectionary in Italy and at my local bargain Lidl supermarket I picked up a packet of Balconi Mix Max for a mere 99 pence. I thought this was a bargain because you get ten of these snack bars in a packet …

I love cheesy crackers, but I only eat natural ones made from whole foods. Some of the cheesy crackers I like to eat are the Kashi TLC Country Cheddar Crackers. They are tender and crunchy with a nice light cheddar flavor and are not overly salty. They have a …

All Bran Yogurt Bites is a cereal put out by Kellog’s containing both flakes and clusters that are as the name suggests covered in yogurt. They looked interesting and since I enjoy yogurt I decided to give them a try. Well while those tiny white clusters tasted fine as long …

Generally, I do not enjoy most diet soft drinks. I dislike the aftertaste and it just reminds me that diets are all about denial, meaning that these products are created for the express purpose of disallowing me pleasure.
With the idea of doing things to improve my health, I reluctantly …

I hadn’t made pancakes in years before this past weekend when I decided that I would like to make pancakes for breakfast. I’m not typically a huge cook, so I had to go out to purchase the pancake mix, and decided to purchase a pre-made powder rather than try …

Century Tuna is the leading tuna canned goods in the Philippines. It has manufactured so many variety of tuna products. Its main marketing discourse is that it is the perfect alternative for loosing weight. Its commercials features male and female models with perfect bodies. In one of its canned variety, …

Today I had an amazing meal at Jollibee. Not that I hated or loved their meals but it was just today that I truly enjoyed the Palabok and Chicken Meal I had with this local fast food chain. Well of course I have had this but it is today …

After successful purchases and uses of Hormel Compleats Spaghetti and Meat Loaf varieties, I decided to try out their Salisbury Steak option.
Hormel Compleats - Salisbury Steak comes with sliced potatoes and gravy. My single complaint about this microwaveable meal is the gravy. There’s just too much of …

I have always liked drinking orange juice, especially in the morning. I prefer orange juice over all other types of juices. I think maybe I haven’t got enough when I was a kid. I don’t think that orange juices are only for kids though. It is really helpful in …

I recently started eating cereal more often than I used to and when I am in the mood I love the kid type cereals. I had many choices and it was hard because I had went to the store to buy a totally different cereal than the one I …

These Hostess Donettes - Chocolate variety are downright terrible! The chocolate flavor that coats these donuts really does not taste like chocolate at all! What happened to the rich and delicious chocolate used for the Hostess Cupcakes, Suzy Q’s, Ding Dongs and similar products? This chocolate tastes like some …

I really like this entrée. I continually find that Lean Cuisine has great offerings and knows how to both make typically “unhealthy” meals healthy, and knows how to make healthy meals taste great that might not otherwise would. Their Salmon with Basil Frozen Entrée is an example, in my …

Our family is always trying to save a few dollars at the grocery store. With the price of literally everything rising so often, this is one of the best ways we have found to stay within our monthly budget. One of the best ways we have found to accomplish …

Since I love Buffalo Wild Wings’ wings I decided to try their ribs because the picture of them on the menu looked delicious. However, I have to admit I was dissapointed. The ribs were too small and really didn’t taste like real ribs. Since I’m a sauce person, there …

I have already reviewed here Idahoan roasted garlic instant mashed potatoes, of which I am a big fan. Recently, I noticed a Great Value version of this same product; it was a bit cheaper, and I decided to try it.
A 7.6 oz box contains 2 pouches, each one makes …

This pizza is sold in the deli section at Super Walmart stores. It’s a pizza made by Walmart, so it can’t be found elsewhere. The pizza is twelve inches and just under five dollars. There are five cheeses on this pizza: Romano, Monterey Jack, Provolone, Parmesan and Mozzarella. I …

Not really a popcorn lover, I do occasionally enjoy a bag of it, when I’m not in the mood for a heavier snack. And even more infrequently do I eat it during the movies. But if I AM going to have it, I prefer anything that …
