Haagen-Dazs Caramel Cone Ice Cream
I was on a Haagen-Dazs kick when I purchased this rich and decadent ice cream. Caramel is a great ice cream flavor, but I find that sometimes it’s used too liberally and I can’t always handle its richness. So while I was eager to try this flavor, I was …
Aldi Food Stores in Pittsburgh, PA
Aldi Markets are small self-service discount grocery stores with reasonable prices on bulk items, mostly dry goods and everyday staples. The stores I’ve visited in the Pittsburgh area remind me of tiny Costco-like stores. I just returned to the East Coast, so I don’t know how long …

Virgil’s Root Beer
If you like root beer, and have developed a taste for more nuanced brews, you will love Virgil’s. It generally comes in four-packs and isn’t the cheapest option around, but it has a pretty interesting composition that makes for very enjoyable drinking.

Marie Callender’s Home-Style Creations - Meatball Lasagna
As I continue to try and find good, convenient meals, Marie Callender’s Home-Style Creations - Meatball Lasagna jumped out at me from the shelf. I love good meatballs, and I’m a pasta fan, so it had all the markings of being an excellent product, especially since Marie Callender …

Party Peanuts Albertsons

Oreos Cakesters Snacks

Mamba Sours

Diamond Crystal Popcorn and Nut Salt

Nescafe Azera Barista Style Instant Coffee Range

Kit Kat strawberry bar

Pringles Potato Crisps - Sour Cream & Onion
Out of all the Pringles varieties to be found in the groceries stores, this is probably my favorite of them all for a couple of reasons. I really like both sour cream and onions, and I feel that Pringles did a simply superb job of taking the two flavors, …
Cherry Coke
I love Cherry Coke for its unique, slightly fruity and at the same time very “coke-like” taste. Whoever came up with the idea to add some cherry syrup into Coke was a genius. The two mix together nicely and create a beautifully refreshing drink. The touch of cherry is …

I buy both the liquid and the powdered versions …

Krusteaz: Buttermilk Waffles
Krusteaz: Buttermilk Waffles are alright, although certainly nothing overly spectacular or memorable. They are basically square Eggo waffles really. In terms of taste, they are pretty much identical to the Eggo waffles. They work out to being about equal in size, too. I did enjoy them, but I did …
