The Co-operative Chocolate Sponge Sandwich
This chocolate sponge sandwich from the Co-operative’s own brand is only 70p and, for that price, it tastes pretty good. It is obvious not a gourmet sponge cake and I find that there is not too much in it, but it was moist and tasted nice and chocolatey …
Spam Luncheon Meat
My aunt used to give these to our family occasionally by bulk, giving us boxes and we’d happily eat them with bread and egg for breakfast and afternoon snacks. As I was growing up however we have also tried other snacks and not only Spam, since this had high …
Knorr Homestyle Stock in Beef
I just love Knorr products having bought many of their packaged products over the years. I kept seeing the commercials for the Knorr Homestyle Stock, and I just loved how this stock looked different from any other kind I had ever tried. The fact that it was designed exclusively …
Kroger Mac N’ Cheese
One of the best cures that I’ve found for a hangover is the carb and cheese combo found in a box of Mac N’ Cheese. It’s cheap, quick and usually does the job, especially with a bottle of any sports drink at it’s side. Because of this …
Mrs. Butterworth’s: Original Syrup
Mrs. Butterworth’s: Original Syrup is just about the most flavorful and rich syrup that I have ever tried, although I think Log Cabin, at times, alternates with this brand for my most favorite syrup. Both have a deep, rich flavor to them and both are a fairly thick syrup. …
Budwiser in the Can
It is a 95 degree day here in Detroit and the sun is beating on my brow, as I sit down to review an American classic, Budweiser, to be more specific, Budweiser in the can. Now, the casual beer drinker may say, “so what if it is in an …
Stouffer’s Lasagna with Tomato Sauce & Italian Sausage
I thought that I would enjoy Stouffer’s Lasagna with Tomato Sauce & Italian Sausage because first of all, I like Italian sausage, and second of all, I really enjoy lasagna products from Stouffer’s. Somehow though, my liking of both these things resulted in me not liking this lasagna. Perhaps …
Silk French Vanilla Soy Creamer
After recently finding Silk Original Creamer and finding that it is a delicious dairy product substitute, I wanted to try some of the other flavors that were offered. I found the French Vanilla flavor and was immediately intrigued by it.
This creamer is basically made with organic soymilk and sweetener, …
Stouffer’s Chicken à la King
Stouffer’s Chicken à la King is meal that is fairly filling and also fairly tasty, too. The all white pieces of chicken found in this meal are quite good and authentic in flavor. With the chicken are mushrooms, onions, celery, peas, white rice and a creamy sauce. That is …
Fruit Flavored TIc Tacs
Tic Tacs has now come out with a berry flavor that comes in a red box. The Tic Tacs themselves are actually white, but I really enjoy the new flavor. To be honest, it has an almost refreshing flavor, as opposed to many of their more minty …
Oreo Cookies
Oreo Cookies are pretty tasty, but I do not eat them any longer. The reason I stopped eating these cookies is it is a real pain to clean my teeth after having even just a few! I have never had a cookie that has left such a mess all …
Piattos Roadhouse Barbecue Chips
Piattos Roadhouse Barbecuq is a new flavor of the “Piattos” potato chips. I have always enjoyed eating Piattos as a child and I have never outgrown enjoying this snack even if there are quite a lot of competitors around selling snacks much cheaper than that of Piattos. Piattos is …
Yoplait Source Yoghurt
I am a huge fruit flavoured yoghurt fan. I do find however; that yoghurts can be quite high in fact and calories, and as I dislike the low fat ones sweetened with asparatine, I only buy them as a treat.
Not any more! I have found a great low fat …
Pastry Castle 8 Bakery Fresh Donuts
I don’t like most donuts made out here, and one of these brand of donuts are Pastry Castle donuts. I usually see people selling a box of Pastry Castle donuts that contains 8 different donuts. I can’t exactly remember all of the flavours of donuts that are usually in …
Great Value: Cocoa Cool Cereal
I really like the taste of Cocoa Cools compared to Cocoa Puffs. They are little chocolate balls that are great for breakfast. One reason I like these is because they turn my milk a bit chocolaty so its easier for me to finish my milk. When I can drink …
Nestle Rolos
I have a major sweet tooth and I remember the first time I saw Nestle Rolos. I had went on vacation and encountered this candy which was in a package shaped just like the a small piece of pipe or tube, maybe about five inches long and when I …
Crystal Canyon Sparkling Apple-Pear
The label on this delicious beverage describes it as appropriate for a “champagne occasion — without the alcohol.” As I write this, my better half is scarfing down a saucer of pear wedges over which he has poured a shot of this sparkling treat, and he …
Great Value Beef Patties
I’ve been using Great Value Beef Patties for my homemade burgers, and I am very satisfied with them. 12 frozen, ready-to-cook patties come in a re-sealable plastic bag. Unlike some other brands, the patties are not tightly frozen together, so you don’t have to struggle trying to break them …
Kroger Bite Size Frosted Wheat
Kroger Bite Size Frosted Wheat is a cereal sold only that Kroger grocery stores and it is a store brand cereal that is modeled after Kellogg’s Frosted Mini Wheats. Like a lot of the Kroger store brand cereals that I have tried, this cereal surpasses the national brand in …
Wendy’s New Freschetta Sandwich
Wendy’s has now come out with a Freschetta Sandwich that is really out of this world. I rarely am in the mood for burgers and fries at fast food restaurants, and so usually I try and open myself to their other options that may be slightly more appealing …
Sara Lee Butter Pound Cake Family Size
I love eating strawberry shortcake, and even though I don’t know how to make the cake from scratch, I do know how to substitute one for a store bought cake. My main cake of choice: Sara Lee butter pound cake. People don’t really use pound cakes for strawberry shortcake, …
San Marino Corned Tuna
San Marino is the first brand to offer corned tuna in the market and the first one to show a tv commercial with a very famous couple celebrity in the Philippines. So at first I wondered what the hype is all about this new food product since I …
Goya Jack Mackerel in Brine
Recently I got the craving to make my grandmother’s old world fishburger recipe, which calls for a can of jack mackerel. However, after looking on the shelves of the two nearest supermarkets for the usual brand I buy, Chicken of the Sea, I couldn’t find any. The spot on …
Fruit2day Strawberry Orange
I normally do not like commercials and do not run out to buy things because I saw them on TV, but that is exactly what I did with this Fruit2day product. I did not make a special trip, but when I was at the grocery store with money …
Fresca Sparkling Flavored Soda
At the grocery store the other day me and my mom were shopping while I stumbled upon a 12 pack of soda that caught my eye. It was made by the people of Coke and it was called Fresca. We grabbed that along with a few diet cokes …
Chocolate Marshmallow Fudge
One of my favorite treats as a child was the marshmallow fudge that my mom usually made during the holiday season. This delightful candy recipes is just one of many recipes which my mother handed down to me a couple of years ago. My mom loved to bake and …
Ya Kun Kaya Toast
Ya Kun Kaya Toast is like a mini coffee-house with lots of basic and nice beverages like coffee, tea, jasmine tea, ice lemon tea and many more. This is one of my most favorite hang-outs whenever I have lunches or mini breaks. I will make it a point …
Aquolina Pink Sugar
Hummm, I’m so in love with it! Usually, I’m not crazy about foody-scents, but for few reasons, I surprised myself loving wearing it as soon as I sprayed it on me for the first time. Initially, I thought that Pink Sugar would be a one note perfume because of …
Gropper, Strawberry Yogurt
I don’t like to eat yogurts very much as they just make me hungry so I eat them and I have to eat some other things like bread after. So when I eat the yogurt I eat twice and this is very bad thing. That’s why I don’t even …
Skippy Peanut Butter
When it comes to peanut butter, I am very particular about what I choose. I have eaten Skippy brand peanut butter since I can remember. I guess I just took my mother’s lead with it and very rarely tried other brands of Peanut Butter simply because I was used …
Aunt Jemima Sausage Egg and Cheese on Croissant
Aunt Jemima Sausage Egg and Cheese on Croissant is not a bad breakfast sandwich by any means, but it is not a breakfast sandwich that I desire to have again. I much prefer the maple syrup filled mini-pancakes in place of the croissant, and I can get a sandwich …
Lehar Kurkure
When it’s time for some quick snacks the first thing that comes to my mind is Lehar Kurkure. The hot , crunchy and spicy kurkure sticks are just the best snacks and everyone from a child to the oldies like munching on the snacks. It doesn’t cost much and …
Dujardin Corn Mix
I decided to try Dujardin Corn Mix when I couldn’t find any frozen peas at the supermarket. Dujardin Corn Mix is also a frozen product but has a mixture of peas, carrots, corn kernels and string beans in there. The price seemed to worth it but the product, not …
Farley’s Rusks
Farley’s Rusks are made by those food giants Heinz and are something that just about every new mother buys for her new baby once they reach the weaning stage.
Funnily enough when my two little boys were babies they were never too keen on them, however now they are older- …
Little Debbie Be My Valentine Cakes - Vanilla
I find these Little Debbie Be My Valentine Cakes - Vanilla variety to be a tasty treat to have during the month of February. Since it is a Valentine’s Day treat, it is shaped after a heart. I really like vanilla, more so than chocolate, so I like these …
Mrs. Freshley’s Jumbo Honey Bun
I do not feel that there is anything particularly special about Mrs. Freshley’s Jumbo Honey Bun compared with the other honey buns made by other companies that can be found in the grocery store, but I nonetheless enjoyed what was likely my one and only purchase of a Mrs. …
Martha White Banana Nut Muffin Mix
I’m a huge baker. I love to make anything from pies, to cookies to cakes and muffins. I prefer to bake from scratch anytime I have the chance to , but this isn’t always the easiest thing to do. Because of this I have shopped several …
FISHER PREMIUM WHOLE CASHEWS
Why have half a cashew when whole cashews are so well priced? I use cashews in a lot of my Oriental cooking, and my husband thinks they are what television was invited for…….to munch really good cashew nuts!
The Fisher Premium While Cashews come in a can that is bright …
Corona Beer
Is there any better tasting beer than Corona? Corona means Crown in Spanish, and I have to think I agree with their assessment. They are far more the King of Beers than Budweiser could ever hope to be.
I am not myself much of a beer drinker, although …
A & W Root Beer
There are a lot of root beers out there, but there can be only one king and that is A & W. It is the best of the best. As the old slogans used to say, it’s got that frosty mug taste. I don\’t rightly know …
Caffeine Free Diet Coke
I am a huge coke fan however the sugar and caffeine do nothing to help my waist line so I had to find a soda that I liked as much as coke but without all the sugar.
I have tried regular diet coke but I do not particularly like the …
Jumex Mango Juice
Rich mango juices from big companies are expensive. It is in this context I saw Jumex mango juice in the Albertsons rack. I was impressed with the price of two and a half dollars for sixty two Oz. Also it was written that it was from nectars. This all …
Birds Eye Steamfresh Shrimp Alfredo
Our supermarket recently picked up the Birds Eye Steamfresh Meals for Two line, and I was tempted to try the Shrimp Alfredo. I am a fan of frozen meals and I wanted to see how Steamfresh compared to other lines such as Contessa and Bertolli.
The difference with the Steamfresh …
Yummi Bears Multi-Vitamin & Mineral Dietary Supplement
When I went looking for a multi-vitamin for my child I had exact specifications on what I was looking for in a supplement. Due to reading recent reports I know that there are several vitamins I need to worry about him having too much of, and I have noticed …
Knorr Italian Sides Tomato Parmesan
I didn’t care very much for this Italian Side. The main reason that this Italian Side failed to win me over is because of the tomato sauce. It was pretty bland and thus not satisfying to the taste. The sauce did have some garlic mixed in for seasoning, but …
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 …
Nido Fortified full cream milk
I love drinking this milk even if it’s made especially for children. This makes me feel really healthy when I drink it. There was also a time when I had to gain more weight because I was becoming underweight and this milk aided in giving me the right …
Brent&Sam’s Chocolate Chip Cookies
A friend of mine came for a visit from the USA and she brought with her a very fancy looking package of chocolate chip cookies. On the package it said they are premium gourmet cookies. I had never seen this brand of cookies before so I hurriedly opened the …
Tesco Bakery Wholemeal Sliced Bread
This wholemeal sliced bread is a small, 400g loaf from the in-store bakery at Tesco. This is a plain, golden brown wholemeal loaf with no fancy additions such as seeds, but it is very good and tastes nice, not to mention the fact that it contains wholegrain goodness …
