Being from the South, iced tea is a part of my daily routine. I’ve always loved the old standard black teas, Lipton, Tetley, etc. My first experience with a black currant flavored tea was at a deli called Jason’s in McKinney, TX. The flavor was so unique and …

When I was little I adored white chocolate but with years it became kind a too sweet. I don’t know if they started producing different white chocolate or I just don’t like that sweet stuff any more but I rarely buy white chocolate now. Today my sister went to …

I am a big fan of Illinois wine. I am not a wine snob and probably officially wouldn?t know what experts call a really good wine if you hit me with it.
But, I am a fan of good tasting wines. I prefer whites, usually, because they are sweeter without …

I have enjoyed Batchelors Super Noodles since I was a kid, although I am convinced there is probably not much nutritional value to them. The other thing about them is that they are not very filling and I am sure to be hungry again an hour after having …

These Chocolate Chunk Oaties are amongst the best flapjacks I have ever tasted. They are Morrisons own brand with —˜The Cake Shop’ on the label and they can be found in their in-store bakery section with all the fresh bread. What I like about them is the …

Recently, I purchased a new product. It’s a common food item, but the only time I’ve had it was on pizza. Since I’m in the mood to try out new sandwich fixings, I purchased Hormel Premium Canadian Style Bacon. As I’ve said many times before, Hormel …

We eat a lot of pizza in my house and it can definitely become expensive fast. We decided to try Totino’s Crisp Crust Party Pizza as a low cost alternative and we weren’t disappointed .much.
The price is great. I buy these pizzas at my local Kroger for …

The Bakery At Walmart Lemon Sliced Loaf Cake is a product that can be found by the bakery section at most Walmart stores. Although I personally prefer the vanilla version of this loaf cake, the lemon variety is one that I like to have on occasion. The lemon loaf …

The first thing I like about Sam’s Cola is the price: only 58 cents for a two liter bottle, and sometimes even less, sometimes out local Walmart has it for 50 cents. It is also available in regular pop cans. The second thing I like is the taste, the …

Beng-Beng Hazelnut is the newest variant (although it is not that new, so maybe you have already heard about it, or even tried it before) of Beng-Beng chocolate products.
It has the same ingredients with all other Beng-Beng variant, with one biggest difference. As it is called, this new product …

Lets stop for a minute and think about pretzels. Usually, they’re pretty healthy, right? Auntie Anne’s Pretzels by far, are the best tasting pretzels I have eaten, but there is a reason for that. Unless you specially request that they be made without butter and salt, …

My opinion of the product is a …

The Great Value: Ripple Cut Potato Chips are very addicting! Once I start eating a few, a few quickly becomes some, some soon becomes many, and eventually, many becomes a lot! These salty potato chips are just very flavorful and good. I say that they easily stack up with …

The first time I heard about the instant drink “Tang” was quite a few years ago in the nineteen nineties. I can remember that at the time the colour of the packet it came in was black and green and the only flavour which I knew they had was …

Devils food cakes have been a favorite of mine ever since I was young. Even now, when I’m not really supposed to have them, I’ll get them occasionally for a treat. I usually get the off brand ones at Dollar General these days, and they taste just …

A ten ounce bag of Excitemint Soft Peppermint Puffs can be found at ALDI Food Market stores for one dollar and forty-nine cents. I was very impressed with this peppermint candy, although I think I would’ve enjoyed the peppermint candy some more if the peppermint candy had been harder, …

I love Hamburger Helper, at least most kinds of it. But, I don’t like paying full price for it so I end up looking for cheaper boxed dinners instead.
This search recently led me to Skillet Masters dinners and I was able to give them a try last night.
Overall, I …

The Double Stack is a part of Wendy’s Super Value Menu. Everything on the Super Value Menu is just .99 cents. For .99 cents, I feel the Double Stack is a good deal. Two square hamburger patties come on the sandwich. The patties are cooked well and have a …

I absolutely love to save money. Really though, who doesn’t? One of the best ways to save money is at the grocery store. Food prices are so high though that this task can be difficult. I have seen a huge dip in my grocery budget by buying generic products. …

Pickles and chips just seem to go together with burgers or sandwiches of any kind. I was very happy when I found these dill pickle flavored potato chips because I love pickles, I always have a big jar of them in the refrigerator.
I like foods with very strong flavors …

For hot cocoa lovers, Nestle Mini Marshmallows Hot Cocoa Mix with Rich Chocolate Flavor is a winner. Boasting it contains “Natural Antioxidents” (of which I can’t personally attest), perhaps more importantly it has a nice and smooth flavor with miniature marshmallows sprinkled generously throughout. It is 99.9% caffeine free …

Lately, I have not bothered buying the most well known brand of soft cheese as I have discovered that certain cheaper alternatives are just as nice if not nicer. I always like to have something like this in the fridge as for a snack you cannot beat soft …

Kroger Marshmallow Treasures are very similar to Lucky Charms. The two cereals are so close in taste that I do not believe I could tell the difference if I were blindfolded. Both cereals have marshmallow pieces in addition to the regular unflavored pieces. The major difference is the price, …

I like to eat a lot of pasta, and through my many travels down the pasta aisle have decided that the barilla bow tie pasta is one of the best. This tri-colored pasta is white red and green, with pasta that is supposed to have a spinach and tomato …

Although the Little Debbie Petites Chocolate Cakes disappointed me immensely due to their overall lack of noticeable chocolaty flavor, I decided to give the Little Debbie Petites Strawberry Cakes a try because I figured there was a chance that even though the chocolate cakes ended up being a dud, …

The Great Value: English Double Fork Split Muffins are the cheapest English muffins that I am able to find in a grocery store. Compared to the name brand companies that make and sell English muffins, these are just as good and at a price that is significantly lower than …

I stopped at my parents to borrow a couple things I needed for chili last night and, because they weren’t eating them and knew we would, they sent home part of a box of Eskimo Pies with me.
I got a chance to try them and I have to confess, …

We picked up our food from SHARE on Saturday and one of the items we bought was a 10-pound box of Oscar Meyer all-beef hotdogs. When I picked them up, I expected them to be a box of the hotdogs you are used to buying in the store in …

I’ve never been that big on ‘diet’ foods, I guess because I always thought that they would taste bad and that the food companies were saying that I should lose weight. I’ve always been more of a “I don’t need corporations to tell me what to eat” person.
But …

I am a chocolate lover as long as I can remember. Nestle Tollhouse Cocoa satisfies that chocolate desire in me. This is a cocoa powder that I have used for baking chocolate cake and drinks. The flavor is strong and may be modified by the amount of teaspoons …

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day because if you skip breakfast your metabolism knows and what happens is that it slows down. This means that your metabolism will be slower the rest of the day and if you are trying to lose weight then you are …

Here is something that practically almost never happens, or actually never happens- the meal in real life looked actually better than the photo on the package. And it tasted great too. I still can’t believe that.
I tried it the other day when I was to too tired to too …

My wife decided to pick up dinner last night and I was a bit surprised when I got home and found she picked up a lasagna from the brand Great Value.
