Café W Cinnamon Crumb Cake
The other day I decided to try one of these Cinnamon Crumb Cakes for a snack. This is also the first time that I had tried a Café W product from Walgreen’s. The snack is actually a muffin, even if the product’s name says “cake”. And like a muffin, …
Weight Watchers Smart Ones Chicken Carbonara Frozen Dinner
I’d never had chicken carbonara before I tried this dish from Weight Watchers. I really loved it, though, and it quickly became one of my favorite meals offered by this brand.
This dinner basically combines linguine, chicken pieces and turkey bacon bits and a sauce made with Parmesan cheese. …
Lay’s Spicy Curry Potato Chips
You know how sometimes with potato chips when you eat the first one, you think, hmmm, this tastes weird. And then you eat a few more just because, hey, the bag is open?
That’s how I felt about these potato chips. Only after I had eaten the 5th or 6th …
Angel Parboiled Rice
I decided to try a package of Angel Parboiled Rice because the brand I usually buy was out of stock. Parboiled rice is a type of rice which is steamed to help retain vitamins in the rice grains so i had no problem trying a different brand of rice.
Angel …
Buffalo Bill’s Pumpkin Ale
I’m a big fan of seasonal beers, but I’ve only ever got them on draft at bars. This was my first purchase of bottled pumpkin ale, and I was extremely pleased with what I got. It’s available for purchase at EarthFare grocery stores, and I believe I saw it …
Cheddar chex mix
This chex mix is really good. It’s all cheddar. I really like it because I like everything that they put into the chex mix. I like the regular also but this kind is just something different to eat. Everything that they put into the chex mix is cheddar. I …
Now Foods Better Stevia Liquid Sweetener
For the past few decades major food companies have been coming up with the new calorie-free sugar substitutes. Thanks to them, now we are all familiar with such words as erythritol,maltodextrin, dextrose, saccharin, aspartame and Sucralose. However, certain studies have linked these long scary names to the development of cancerous …
Fish Mints Intense Wintergreen (Scripture Candy)
I’ve heard of scripture candy before, and pretty much wrote it off. After all, isn’t regular candy just as good as “scripture candy”? But recently a family member bought a tiny tin of Fish Mints and let me try one. One tiny fish mint and I …
New York Texas Toast - Cheese
Awarded the 2008 Chefs Best Award for Best Taste, New York Texas Toast - Cheese promises to taste great. I’d never had it, though, so was very curious to see if it lived up to the hype. The box comes with eight slices original Texas toast with …
Nescafe Partners Blend Instant Coffee
Nescafe Partners Blend Instant Coffee is a decent instant coffee with a very smooth taste, but for me it just lacks in something. I am not sure if I am saying that it lacks in body or in strength, but for me, even if I put a really …
Dabour honey
First of all I would like to say that I am the fan of Dabour honey. I have many reasons for liking this honey. The honey serves as the best tonic or the medicine for our body. It is used for many reasons. Especially the …
Shoppers Doughnuts
The shoppers near us has doughnuts that we can get. I believe they are 12 for about $5.00 or so. We can sometimes get them already in a box for about $3.00. You get to pick which ones you want. They are large doughnuts that you get.
They have …

Maruchan Yakisoba Noodles Spicy Chicken Flavor
I have been a fan of ramen noodles for some time now, but I had not tried Yakisoba noodles before. Although I am not sure what the difference is between ramen noodles and Yakisoba noodles (even after trying them both they seem very similar), I could not resist trying …
Burger King Roadhouse Burger Steak Sandwich
Yesterday my brother and i watched a movie and there was this big advertisement of the new Burger offering by Burger King. Being the curious being that we are, we did go to a BK store and got each one for us, it promised of a pure angus beef, …
Starbucks Via Ready Brew, Italian Roast
I don’t really go to Starbucks anymore, but when I did I was always into their dark roasts like Sumatra or Italian roast. I haven’t had instant coffee in even longer, because it isn’t the best tasting coffee usually. Instant is something I felt I had moved on from. …
Yomo Natural White 0.1% fat yogurt
Natural yogurt is something that I really like but I don’t like them when they are too sour and acid. Yesterday I bought Yomo Natural White 0.1% fat. Well, natural yogurts usually don’t have a lot of calories so I really don’t see a reason to make a 0.1% …
T.Marzettis Fat free Apple Dip
One of my favorite fruits to eat are apples. I love to eat apples in the morning with my breakfast, or carry them with me to work for a mid-day snack. Obviously I also really like caramel apples as well, so I was really excited when I discovered T.Marzettis …
Tic Tacs
For some reason, I have been enjoying Tic Tacs lately. My husband acutally had some bloodwork done recently and it showed that his bloodsugar was just the slightest bit higher than where it should be. As a result, he immediately began to decrease sugars from his diet …
Land, Low Fat Whip, Raspberry
I don’t like to eat yogurt and food like that specially in the evening because they make me just more hungry. But I can’t resist if I have Low Fat Whip, Raspberry in my fridge so I don’t buy it very often. It has 113 kcal per 100gr but …
PB2 Powdered Peanut Butter with premium chocolate
Peanut butter is an essential part of my life now. Lots of people swear by almond and cashew butters, which are fancier, but I love the classic peanut butter and I don’t think I’ll ever be able to give it up. Powdered peanut butter is still something new to me, …
Pepsi Throwback
Pepsi is my vice (along with Spaghetti). I drink it all the time. I can’t stand Coke. As a child, my parents originally did purchase Coke, but when Pepsi really began to pop up, they switched, and we never looked back. Now what is funny …
Del Monte Fit ‘n Right Blueberry-Grape Juice Drink
Del Monte Fit ‘n Right Blueberry-Grape, the latest variant in Del Monte’s Fit ‘n Right product line. This new variant boosts less sugar and fewer calories and when I look at the previous variants particularly the Four Season’s variant, true

Milka Cookies & Cream chocolate bar
Milka’s Cookies & Cream version of their Alpine Milk Chocolate is one of a couple of limited edition bars that have recently been on sale in a number of shops in the United Kingdom. They seem to be sold mostly in branches of the Poundland discount shop, although they …
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 …
Healthy Choice Lobster Cheese Ravioli

Hostess Mini Muffins Banana Walnut
I do not care for these Hostess Mini Muffins Banana Walnut variety because the flavor that is supposed to be present just is not. At least, it is not represented too well in the actual mini muffin. Neither the banana nor the walnut flavor can be detected with relative …
Hostess Fruit Pies - Apple
I find these Hostess Fruit Pies - Apple variety to be a little on the dull side, both inside and out. The crust is pretty bland and boring while apple inside tastes as if the flavor is not quite real. The apple flavor does not come across as being …
Strawberry Pocky
Sometimes I want to eat a snack that’s sweet but not overpoweringly sweet. There’s something about Strawberry Pocky that is extremely scrumptious to me! I love the slender shape, and the way the strawberry combined with cookie brakes down in my mouth. It’s a cute little snack that I …
Airforce Nutrisoda
A few months ago, I came across Airforce Nutrisoda, a fruit flavored soda that was supposed to be good for me. I eagerly bought an 8.4 oz. can for $.79 and took it with me to work, to see if it would help energize me AND taste good …
Lindt Excellence Chili Flavored Dark Chocolate
I haven’t bought Lindt chocolate in a long time, but I always really liked it. And I’ve been aware that they’re introducing new flavors for a while now. I remember that a few years ago mixing chili and chocolate was sort of a hot thing. They even had chili …
Tostino’s Supreme Pizza
I think I have mentioned before that I usually will have a Tostino’s pizza at least once a month when I’m looking for a simple, filling meal.
For the most part, they are OK but I have found I am not impressed with the lack of toppings on them and …
HoMade Savoury Royals Crackers
I’m not even sure where my mother bought these, but all I know is that I haven’t seen this product in years. It was one of those cheap snacks my parents used to buy for me when I was much younger, and then when a lot of the Trinidadian …
Kroger Raisin Bran
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 …
Parent’s Choice Little Fruits
One of my toughest challenges as a parent is getting my daughter to eat healthy. She’s not necessary opposed to eating something that isn’t sweet but does have issues with eating new things.
Since one of the things she won’t eat is fresh fruit, I’m glad I was able …
Extra Joss energy drink
Extra Joss is an energy drink usually sold in powder form. I used to drink this night before exams so that I can extend my study time. It can further support me with energy up to three hours. Along with the advantages, I also found certain negative effects that …
Food Lion LIght Microwave Popcorn
Food Lion’s Light Microwave popcorn is a snack I thought I would try since I am a fan of Microwave popcorn, and have had many different brands.It is relatively inexpensive. The price is 2.50 for six bags if you have a Food Lion MVP card.
I like the taste of …
Lindt Lindor White Chocolate Truffles
I first saw Lindt Lindor White Chocolate Truffles when I had went on vacation to the USA, in one of the grocery stores my grandparents like to shop at. I had first seen the milk chocolate variety of these truffles befor I encountered the white chocolate version.
Lindt Lindor White …

Kroger Value Peanut Butter Cookie Mix
Kroger Value Peanut Butter Cookie Mix makes very tasty peanut butter cookies! The peanut butter flavor is rich and real and present throughout the cookie. I can say with much confidence that the peanut butter cookies from Kroger are every bit as tasty and enjoyable as the name brand …
Eating Right Lemonade Beverage
This beverage is truly unpleasant. I bought it because it sounded like a nice refreshing beverage to cool me down and quench my thirst. Boy was I wrong about this yucky drink. I have to tell you that the packaging is not that impressive, but I …
L’oven Fresh Hot Dog Buns
L’oven Fresh Hot Dog Buns retail for seventy-nine cents for eight at ALDI. I see that as a price that no other grocery store or supermarket can match, be it with the national brands or store brands, and seventy-nine cents is a regular, everyday low price at ALDI! I …
Lucky Me Instant Pancit Canton
If I feel hungry and there’s no time to cook, Lucky Me Instant Pancit Canton is the way to go. It’s very easy to cook and gives you an instant fill when you’re on the go.

Amport Foods Dried Blueberries
Almost addictive, these amazingly tiny dried blueberries pack tremendous flavor and are supposedly a fat free source of antioxidants. In a blue and clear 4 ounce plastic bag with a handy recloseable seal, they retain a little softness (not leathery like some dried fruits). They work well as a …
Luigi’s Real Italian Ice Watermelon and Blue Raspberry
This was a disappointing variety pack of naturally-flavored Italian Ice from Luigi’s Italian Ice. Neither flavor wowed me and neither flavor satisfied me outside of being a cold frozen treat that delivered refreshing relief from the hot summer heat. I can get that pleasant cool sensation from other frozen …
Meadowfresh Houmous (aka Hummus) from Lidl
I tried a 300g tub of this Houmous from Lidl for only 99p. This Meadowfresh brand seems to be Lidl’s own brand judging from the label. This is a good price for such a large tub and I was looking forward to getting home and dunking some …
Dabee pickles
Dabee pickle is very famous in all over India. It is very famous because of its unique taste and freshness of the pickles. All the ingredients used to prepare the pickle seem to be of very good quality and that is why the taste of the pickle …
Lulu B Cocktails Chocolate Martini
Several weeks ago, I found a new company offering ready to pour cocktails with reduced sugar, carbs and calories called Lulu B Cocktails. They were displayed right next to my usual Skinnygirl Cocktails brand but the Lulu B Cocktails actually had signs from the liquor store owners promising that …
Hilo Value Chinese Soy Sauce
One thing that I like about the brand Hilo is that they have released a few good quality products and sold them at a price that is lower than any other brand at most Hilo supermarkets I have visited islandwide. However, there are still one or two Hilo …
