Stewart’s Root Beer Soda
Stewart’s Root Beer Soda is a beverage I first tried just this last year, in 2008. It’s a costly item, so it’s something I only purchase when on sale, and then only occasionally. Where I live, on sale it’s $3.00 for four bottles, so it’s definitely premium …
Springbank Cheese Company
This weekend, I finally visited one of the places I have been wanting to see for some time now, the Springbank Cheese Company. It is advertised as one of Calgary’s premier cheese stores, and as cheese is one of the highlights of my life, I was looking forward to it. …
Cambell’s Chunky Prime Rib & Vegetable Soup
As soon as I heated one of these and took the first few bites, I knew that I had to warn other people. Whatever you do, do not buy this product! The entire can had only 3 chunks of meat in it and the bulk of the vegetables were …
Clover Valley All Purpose Flour
While I like many products in the Clover Valley family, this one is simply horrible! There is something seriously wrong with this flour; although I can’t say exactly what it is the cause - perhaps because it is “bleached”? That does seem to be the main difference between this …
Pure Bulk Syrup (Cherry)
I’m not a huge fan of syrup like some people are, so I’m not too interested in mixing a glass of diluted syrup like myself unlike some people. The only way I would drink it, is if there is nothing else there to drink, and I really need something …
Athenos Hummus Original flavor
I’m a person who enjoys eating vegetables. Usually on a daily basis, I eat baby carrots, broccoli, cucumbers, celery and sometimes a handful of raw green leafy salad. With the stock vegetables, I like to dip them in dips or dressing, usually low fat dressing, a squeezed of …
Rondele Bagel Temptations
I love bagels with a good savory cream cheese spread. Usually I make my own but I was pressed for time and bought a flavored one, Rondele Bagel Temptations: Garlic and Herbs Flavor. The price for this product was more than twice the amount I would have paid for …
Jollibee Champ
I just finished having my lunch now and I think it was a big serving of a 1/3 pound burger at Jollibee’s. I was a bit excited eating my lunch since I came from a long tiring walk but I got disappointed as I was eating my champ burger. …
Kirkland signature water
We all need water to survive. A safe drinking water will lengthen this in some way. We drink water on a regular basis whether we like it or not. So how do we find a good source of water aside from the tap water we have. …
Mini Chips Ahoy
Chocolate chip cookies are my favorite kind of cookies. I really like cookies when the are soft. I am not normally a fan of the bagged chocolate chip cookies. They are normally hard. Today my child had gotten a small bag of Mini Chips Ahoy. …

Edwards Chocolate Creme Pie Singles made with Hershey’s
While I was shopping one evening in a supermarket that I rarely have the opportunity to visit I saw in the freezer section Edwards Chocolate Creme Pie Singles made with Hershey’s along with other similar frozen pie products on display. It was the first time I saw this product …
Arce Dairy Blueberry Cheesecake
I was looking for a new flavor for an ice cream, or let’s just say I am looking for a flavor that is not so common to our taste buds. I went to the mall and look for something unusual flavor for an ice cream, then I found Arce …
Nido Instant Full Cream Milk by Nestle
I think everyone of us really knows how good milk to strengthen our body muscles, bones and teeth. My doctor once told me that milk can prevent osteoporosis. It is also a good source for energy being part of the Go food group.
I have tried many brands of …
McDonald’s Angus Snack Wrap - Bacon and Cheese
On a spontaneous whim today, I decided to drop by McDonald’s, which I almost never do, and try one of their Angus Snack Wraps. There were three versions available and the one I went with was the Bacon and Cheese. It looked good and sounded tasty.
This product …
Breyers Buttered Almond
Breyers Buttered Almond is an ice cream variety that sounds tasty, but unfortunately it fails to live up to its rather mouth watering name. The problem I have with this ice cream is that there are not nearly enough almonds to be found. The ice cream certainly is not …
Milky Way Midnight Mini Bars
I was in the office when one co-officemate gave me a bar of Milky Way Midnight Bar. She said it gives her strength and it keeps her awake. Maybe she saw me little sleepy and lonesome on my space that is why she gave me one. Well, I appreciate …
Sonur Tea
Darjeeling Black Tea has always been know for it taste and quality and is no doubt one of the fines products sold around the world. People pay about a 3-4 $ just for 100g of the tea and is really quite an expensive product but it has plenty of …
Bar S Hot Dogs
My wife decided to make hot dogs for dinner last night (I think she was determined to make sure the kids ate dinner without a fight so we could get them to bed early). When she made them, I expected her to pull out a pack of Oscar Mayer …
Topsy Turvy Tomato Planter
I grew up on a farm and am a master gardener so I try out new garden stuff all the time. I have found a miracle for tomatoes. The Topsy Turvy tomato planter is the absolute best device I have ever found and been able to copy …
Wai Loong Vegetable Fried Rice
Sometimes I get in the mood to have Chinese food and the closest place to where I work is called Wai Loong. It is a Chinese restaurant that is both dine-in and take away. One of their popular dishes is their vegetable fried rice.
Just yesterday I bought a box …
Maple Grove Farms Maple Cream Cookies
Maple Grove Farms Maple Cream Cookies are delicious. Unlike the Manning’s Cookie Shop Maple Leaf Creme cookies, which are more sugary sweet than maple-flavored and unlike the Dare Maple Leaf Creme cookies which are ridiculously priced, these cookies from Maple Grove Farms aren’t super sugary and aren’t super high …
Stouffer’s Skillet Sensations Mushroom Chicken Penne
Well, frozen dinner are never really quite good. I think it is the preservatives and all the additives in the food that give me an uneasy feeling in the stomach an hour later. But sometimes there is no other choice, and I think the that Skillet Sensations Chicken Penne …
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.
The syrup has a really good, strong cherry flavor to it without being …
Angus Pride Steaks
Product Description: Brand of beef steaks ranging from round steak to sirloin. These are available at select stores. The price varies a bit depending on the steak itself but, on average, runs about $3 per pound.
What I like about this product:Unless I want to go outside of town to …
Kellogg’s Special K Cinnamon Pecan
This particular Special K cereal is not bad at all. It is not my favorite, but I enjoy having a bowl from time to time. The cinnamon flavor is quite rich and real, and having pecans in this cereal offers a unique flavor that a lot of cereals do …
Simply Made Lemonade
One of my favorite thing to drink is real fruit juice. I love orange, apple, and grape. I also love fresh squeezed lemonade. I saw Simply Made Lemonade in the store. I liked the sleek bottle and the label. The lemonade looked fresh because of the color. I decided …
Kellogg’s Special K Bars - Vanilla Crisp

Fiber One Honey Cluster cereal
I try to be very health conscious since I have began to see the long end of the results of eating healthy and losing weight. Now I try to make sure I am eating more fiber in my diet. The only problem is most of the products …
Danacol Danone
Who said that everything healthy has to have bad taste? This product is a very good proof that this statement is not correct.
Danone is a company that produces dairies and it has the base in France, in Italy, where I live their products are very popular but I know …
Entenmann’s Chocolate Chip Crumb Loaf Cake
While Entenmann’s Chocolate Chip Crumb Loaf Cake might sound like a tasty combination treat, I most certainly did not care for it when I tried it! The chocolate chips hardly have any real flavor them. I see them, and they are there, but when they come into contact with …
Great Value Pecan Rolls
My wife recently bought a box of pecan rolls from the brand Great Value for $1. We weren’t really expecting too much from this product; mostly because of the price and because we don’t really trust our Walmart when it comes to food items, but, I have to admit, …
Organic Rice Krispies and Frosted Mini-Wheats
I am concerned about keeping my family healthy, as are most mothers. I have been pleased at the deluge of more healthful items available in the regular grocery stores as of late. In particular, I have been very happy with Kellogg’s new organic Rice Krispies and Frosted Mini-Wheat’s cereals.
In …
Sargento - Hard Grating Parmesan Cheese
Sargento - Hard Grating Parmesan Cheese is a cheese that I must actually grate myself as it comes in a common triangular-like shaped block. However, I think the added work is worth it! This is delicious Parmesan cheese! It is always fresh tasting, and speaking of taste, I just …
Dormen’s Spicy Peanuts
I did not like these spicy peanuts at all. It is not that the quality of them is bad but more the fact that I was expecting something else. I recently had some spicy jumbo peanuts from KP which were gorgeous —“ just massive peanuts covered in …
Barber Chicken Fingers
Sometimes you need to make dinner in a flash, thats when chicken fingers can come in handy. these chicken fingers by barber taste great and are easily cooked in your microwave in minutes. I really like the ease of cooking these chicken fingers, for me the quicker I …
Taco Bell’s Crunchy Tacos
Taco Bell’s crunchy tacos are the best! If you want something inexpensive to eat for lunch or dinner, just pick up a couple of these while you’re out. Since Taco Bell offers an array of inexpensive items from their menu, the crunchy tacos normally …
Hostess Mini Muffins Blueberry
While the Hostess Mini Muffins Blueberry variety are certainly more delicious and enjoyable than the chocolate variety, they are still not up to the standard set by Little Debbie and the muffins that they bake and sell. Hostess mini muffins all seem a little on the stale and dry …
Wrigley’s Fruit Sensations Sugarless Gum Strawberry Banana

Smart Ones has been providing low-calorie diet entrees and desserts for years. However, I just recently discovered their Breakfast Sandwiches and fell in love with the great taste and low calorie count. They have several breakfast offerings including: Egg, Cheese, and Canadian Bacon on an English muffin or egg …
CHEEZ-IT Pepper Jack Crackers
Cheez-it pepper jack is another selection from the cheez-it family that I decided to give a try after seeing in the store. The cheez-it on the box looks like someone took small pieces of pepper Jack cheese and folded them over into squares and baked them. Oddly they still …
Yogi Sweet Tangerine Positive Energy Herbal Tea
Once in awhile I do not sleep well at nighttime and in the morning I really wake up sleepy and sluggish, which is not good because I have to be on my game at work. One of the ways I help boost my energy levels naturally is with the …
Betty Crocker - Cookie Mix Chocolate Chip
Betty Crocker - Cookie Mix Chocolate Chip unfortunately turned out to be a disappointment. Although these cookies were really not too difficult to prepare and while they did seem to have a pleasant aroma while they were baking. However, when it came time to try one, I was really …
McCormick California Style Garlic Powder
Anything garlic is normally a winner with me, but I’m not a big fan of McCormick California Style Garlic Powder. This garlic powder comes with parsley and contains no MSG.
Packaging-wise, the plastic container is adequate with a colorful wrapper that drew my attention. It has a big …
Smuckers Uncrustables
Smuckers Uncrustables are a peanut butter and jelly sandwhich with no crust. I get these in the frozen department of the grocery store. These made great snacks for the kids when on a long trip in the car, or for anytime. My older daughter likes to take her lunch …
Roti Prata (Indian Flatbread)
I love breads, especially freshly baked bread. I am not very familiar with bread from our neighboring countries, especially from India. The first time I tasted roti prata was in a food stall in a nearby mall which sold roti prata. It is the Singaporean breakfast composed of a …
