Food Reviews
Entenmann’s Eclairs
Although Entenmann’s Eclairs are not nearly as good as say the eclairs that are sold fresh in the bakeries, I find them to be relatively decent enough to have perhaps once or twice a year. The flavor is by no means so intense that your taste buds will go …
Trident Bubble Gum Flavored Gum
I have tried various types and flavors of chewing gum. One of such gum is Trident Bubble Gum Flavored Gum. While at first site the package would imply that the gum is for blowing bubbles, however, it is really just the flavor of classic bubble gum. In …
Nabisco Ritz Crackers
You know, today is the first time I realised Ritz were made by Nabisco as I have always assumed Ritz was the brand name of these delicious little nibbles. I quite often buy them as all three of my granddaughters’ like them and it’s one of the very …
Homestyle Peanut Punch Drink
Although I would not call it my favourite kind of drink, I still like having a good peanut punch drink once in a while when I have a crave for it. I usually see a few cheap brands that make it, and a few of them do not taste …
Hapi brand Hot Wasabi Peas
I happened upon these in the Asian food section of my local grocery store and was intrigued by the idea - dried peas covered in wasabi. Familiar with the taste of wasabi (a very hot horseradish spice), I wanted to find out why it was so popular on …
Nestle’s Stixx
I looked in my mailbox one day last week and was delighted to find a small package. Like the song from “Sound of Music” says, “brown paper packages tied up with string” are among my favorite things.
The package contained Nestle’s Stixx, which was a new product launched in …
Mountain Holler
I’m normally a Mountain Dew drinker. But, brand name soda is getting expensive lately and I can’t always find it on sale.
Looking to stay within a budget, I have once again switched back to a more generic version; Mountain Holler.
The thing I like about Mountain Holler (sold here at …
Great Value Sweet & Salty Almond Granola Bars
I purchased these granola bars from Wal-Mart, they are the store brand and I wanted to compare them to the Nature’s Valley Sweet & Salty Granola Bars to see if I’d be able to get the same product for less money. I do not care what the packaging says …
Gipsy Gold —“ soft aperitif
I don’t usually like bitter products but here in Italy everyone drinks soft aperitifs so I decided to try the out too, when they were on discount, of course. So I bought Gipsy Gold, 10 bottles of this soft aperitif for 1.19Euro only instead of 1,49Euro. I must say …
Tvarscki vodka
If you are searching for an affordable, yet drinkable mixer beverage, Tvarscki vodka is an excellent choice. More often than not, any bottle of alcohol purchased for under fifteen dollars later proves to be a terrible choice. Cheaper vodkas often tend to have a very bitter, rubbing …
Sargento - Bistro Blends Shredded Italian Pasta Cheese
Sargento - Bistro Blends Shredded Italian Pasta Cheese is positively delicious! This cheese has a whole lot going for it and I love adding it to my lasagna and salads or just eating it right out of the bag. There is a combination of both herbs and cheeses mixed …
Crystal Geyser Alpine Spring water
I’ve never been a big believer that there were many differences between brands of bottled drinking water, with a few exceptions- but I found one last week that impressed me- not with its water, but the design of its packaging.
I was doing my usual supplemental shopping at …
Braggs Apple Cider Vinegar
Apple Cider Vinegar is very good for your health, as well as many other things.I buy Braggs Apple Cider Vinegar. You have to get organic, not the stuff in the market, that is only good for cooking & cleaning. You have to have the mother in the vinegar.
I use …
Hamburger helper singles
My son saw a commercial on television for Hamburger Helper microwave singles and asked me if I would get some for him. I went to the store and it would actually be a lot cheaper to make the hambuger helper and place into individual snack containers than it was …
Burger King Original Chicken Sandwich
Burger King Original Chicken Sandwich is one sandwich which is very basic and does not excite me very much. The lettuce quality that I receive is not one thing I am happy about. The amount of mayonnaise often does not have any uniformity. One thing I feel good about …
Natural Brew: Chai Cola
Soda is a beverage that many enjoy, whether it be cola or a fruit soda or somewhere in between. There are many different brands, and flavors. Some are common and others are not. One soda flavor I decided to try from the brand called Natural Brew is called Chai Cola. …
Hershey’s Strawberry Syrup
While I was at the store recently, my kids asked me to get some Hershey�s strawberry syrup. Since it was on sale, I decided to give in and get some more. My kids like to make strawberry flavored milk with the Hershey�s strawberry syrup. They also …
Papa Johns Pizza
Alright I am originally from the North and I am use to a great Pizza for a great price. You can get a large pizza for 10 bucks and we are not talking Papa Johns large..we are talking a 16 inch pizza loaded with mouth watering mozzarella cheese,just the …
Izze Sparkling Clementine Beverage
I am no stranger to the brand Izze. As a person who is trying to set aside soda, Izze sparkling beverages are life savers. Which is how I came to try Izze Sparkling Clementine. As you can imagine, I was not hesitant in grabbing a few of bottles.
What I …
Bachelor’s Wholegrain pasta and sauce flavor
I really love this eating any food from Bachelor’s brand especially my all time favorite which is the pasta and cheese flavor which I usually get whenever I go to the supermarket. I typically get 10 packs of it whenever it is on sale and honestly I don’t …
Cupcakes by Sonja (Mocha Cupcake)
I am not a huge fan of cupcakes. The only time I like to eat them is for an afternoon snack paired with coffee. Well I would not go to great lengths just to be able to eat cupcakes and there are a lot of supermarket ready-packed cupcakes that …
Kashi Strawberry FieldsOrganic Cereal
Kashi Strawberry Fields cereal has freeze dried strawberries and even though it doesn’t mention it in the name it even has freeze dried raspberries. I found the strawberries and raspberries to be a bit too tangy at times. It might have just been the berry. You …
Hot Pockets frozen food
Frozen food is a great way to get a meal without having to deal with a lot of hassle. One of the big names in frozen food is “Hot Pockets”. They’re basically mini-sandwich wraps that you microwave for a little over three minutes.
There are a wide variety …
Nabisco Vegetable Thins Crackers
I’ve always enjoyed vegetable thins crackers, which have the tangy taste of veggies added to a wheat cracker that was strong enough to dip without breaking, but they were a bit heavy and harder to chew than some of the other thin crackers, like Better Cheddars. They came …
Edy’s Mango Ice Cream
Edy’s mango ice cream is a recent discovery I made while on one of many excursions to super Wal-Mart. I had previously been accustomed to another brand of ice cream, but I figured since that brand no longer made their mango ice cream I would try Edy’s.
The mango ice …
Little Debbie Fall Party Cakes - Vanilla
I like these Little Debbie Fall Party Cakes - Vanilla variety better than the chocolate variety simply because I like vanilla more than chocolate. The cake consists of yellow cake, a white, creme filling, as well as vanilla frosting and shades of autumn sprinkles. Really, this treat looks more …
Smirnoff Vodka Mojito
On the heels of my experience with the Cuervo Gold Margarita drink, I decided that I would investigate what other pre-mixed drinks were out there. It seems that fusions of food and beverages are becoming extremely popular these days. I visited my local package store and …
Accidentally Fabulous Apple Raisin Stuffing
Thanksgiving Day rolled around and I had never gotten out to buy celery or onions for the homemade stuffing Mom wanted. I can’t explain it - I just didn’t feel like it, partly because I just didn’t feel right, period. I did have some stove-top-like stuffing mix, …
Herran Bread Super Jumbo Whole Wheat and Loaf
My previous reviews about bread said that I only trust Gardenia bread. Although it is expensive, the taste is just right for my family so I continue to buy it. I discover Herran Super Jumbo Bread one time while I was looking for Gardenia bread. I am amazed at …
Chapman’s Premium Ice Cream
I usually buy Chapman’s Premium Ice Cream when I’m sad or on special occassions. Well… That isn’t completely true because the quality of this fine brand makes me often ignore my diet or that little voice in my head urging me to throw caution to the wind and please …
Chicago Meat House Ground Hamburger
Product Description: Frozen one pound pack of ground hamburger (passed on to me from my grandmother, who received it from a friend but doesn’t eat burger).
What I liked about this product: Well, it was free (for me at least) so, based on that, it didn’t have to do too …
Cherry jam, Zuegg 700g
I went to the store about a month ago and I saw Zuegg jams were on a discount, 1,50 Euro for 700g of jam. I immediately took 3 different flavours, apricot, strawberry and cherry. Today I will write a review about the cherry one.
I must say that I was …
Milano Melts Cookie
Every time I venture into Target, I discover a new kind of cookie or candy that I had never previously encountered anywhere else. Being a huge cookie aficionado, this thrills me to no end. My most recent trip had me discover a new kind of Milano cookie that I …
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 …
Mrs. Freshley’s Bear Claw Danish
This is supposed to be a bear claw? Mrs. Freshley’s Bear Claw Danish really does not taste much like a bear claw in my opinion. There is very little almond flavor to be tasted and enjoyed. There is no raisin flavor either, and raisins are pretty common in bear …
Maya ThinkHeart Whole Wheat Pancake Mix
My family loves to eat pancakes. We usually get a box or two during our grocery run for breakfast or sometimes as a snack. Most pancakes (or hotcakes as we call it here) are made from white flour. There have been a lot of studies that show that it …
Primo Wholewheat Pasta
I love to eat pasta, but with the carb-concern these days I can’t help but look for a healthier alternative. It’s safe to say that my search was over once I discovered Primo Grainwise Wholewheat Pasta.
There are several reasons why I think this pasta is much better than …
Cadbury Creme Egg
When Easter approaches, there’s just one thing that really stands out. It’s the craving of chocolate lovers everywhere. It’s the epitome of Easter candy. It’s the one must-have chocolaty treat. ‘It’ is Cadbury Creme Eggs.
Cadbury makes good chocolate treats anyway, but during this special season, …
Britania chutkule
Britania chutkule is a new product in the market. It is the snack which just tastes like the salted and spiced biscuits. I saw this product in the general stores and I brought it home once to try. We all tasted it but the taste is …
Cadbury Creme Egg Twisted
The Creme Egg Twisted bar from Cadbury’s has been out since last year but I have only just noticed it so I had to try it. I adore Creme Eggs which I am sure you will be familiar with —“ white and yellow sugary fondant within thick, egg-shaped …
Pillsbury Toaster Scrambles
I’ll be honest. I only got these because they were free, after applying a pretty decent coupon to a store sale. But Pillsbury Scrambles are really pretty decent breakfast food.
The Scrambles consist of scrambled eggs and something else — I’ve had the bacon and the sausage ones so far …
Kiki fruit toffee —“ mandarin
I have never tasted this mandarin toffee before. When I was little I think that they used to make Kiki fruit toffee with orange taste so I must say that I was pretty curious to taste it now. The other day my sister bought a bag of Kiki fruit …
Bigelow I Love Lemon & C Herb Tea
Sometimes I like adding a slice of lemon into my tea, and sometimes I don’t have any lemon around. That’s when Bigelow I Love Lemon & C Herb Tea comes in handy.
The tea has very pleasant, natural lemony taste. It comes in a box that has 20 tea bags …
Nature’s Own Brown Rice Instant Cereal with Spirulina
I like to have a healthy beverage for breakfast to help me kickstart the day, and I think Nature’s Own Brown Rice Instant Cereal with Spirulina makes a good one.
It is easy to prepare: just stir one sachet with 200ml of warm water (each …
Island 62 Flavoured June Plum Water
I knew that these past couple of weeks had been frightfully not even though it’s not even summer as yet. However, I don’t think I ever really felt how hot it was until last week when I had some business to do on the road. I was so burnt …
Nescafe Coffee
I never used to like coffee very much to the point where I would wonder what other people found to like in its taste. However these days I have begun to appreciate a mug of coffee now and then. I have also come to realise that that not ever …
Nova Chips
I am not a junk food eater but this Nova Chips looks like a junk food but its healthy in its way. I like its taste actually, I am fond of eating this chips during my snack time. Aside from its healthy features it also divert my mind in …
