Pringles Minis Potato Crisps - Original Flavor
I like what Pringles has done here. They shrunk down the size of the can so that when on the go or on a trip, the can is small enough to carry around or store and not come across as being awkward and bulky. This also eliminates the need …
Chef Boyardee Lasagna (Can)
I am not one that eats much of the selections made by Chef Boyardee that comes in a can such as their Spaghetti O’s, Ravioli’s, and their other choices, however I was hungry one afternoon last week and came across this can of lasagna I bought for my children. …
Alexia All Natural Panko Breaded Onion Rings
The Alexia All Natural Panko Breaded Onion Rings come in a thirteen point five ounce bag for a little under two dollars and fifty cents. I used to purchase these onion rings semi-regularly before I gave the Season’s Choice Diced Onion Rings a try. Now I purchase those onion …
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 …
Velveeta Cheesy Skillets Dinner Kit: Creamy Beef Stroganoff
I came into the know of Velveeta Cheesy Skillet Dinner kits when watching TV one evening and seeing the commercial with the black smith showing up to a woman’s door, and then showing her how to cook —˜liquid gold.’ The commercial appealed to me because for one it’s hilarious …
Selecta Choco Almond Fudge Ice Cream
Being a true-blue chocolate lover, I was excited to try this new flavor from Selecta’s ice cream selection. I bought the 800ml pint of Choco Almond Fudge for only approximately $2.80, and with that price it’s really not that expensive for something that 2 persons can share to, maybe …
Pez candy strawberry
When I was a little girl I really liked Pez candies, my parent were buying them to me very often and they also had that toy which had you had to push down so that the candy would come out. I really adored those toys but they would never …
Roundys Unpeeled Apricot Halves
I bought a few cans of these from Pick N Save this past December and I must say they are much better than I expected. They were on sale, so that was one of the reasons I picked them up. Perhaps I should have bought a few more of …
Julio’s Corn Tortilla Chips
Tired of the “traditional” tortilla chip brands and looking for something different?
I was. I mean, don’t get me wrong, Tostitios and Dorritos are fine, but everybody’s had those (in the US anyway.) I was looking to try someone more “craft” and local/regional to Texas and I found them—¦Julio’s family …
Chamyto
Aside from eating fruits in the morning, one of the most important things to drink is yogurt to aid better digestion. Although my best advice is to go with fresh fruits such as pineapple, papaya or watermelon, there are times when we want to divert common practice. I alternate eating …
McDonald’s McChicken Sandwich
One of my favorite things from McDonalds is the McChicken sandwich. It comes on a regular bun with the McChicken in the middle, and it has shredded lettuce and mayo on it. The chicken is fried and not grilled. There is no tomato on the sandwich, …
Red Apple Slice
Slice is a soft drink brand here and they recently released a new flavour called Red Apple. I was a bit intrigued when I saw it on the shelf and decided to pick up a bottle to try it. Hoping it might taste like a nice Apple Flavoured Wine …
Cooper’s Garlic Texas Toast
This is an off-brand of Texas Toast that I’ve only found at ALDI. There is nothing that sets this Texas Toast apart from the national brand Texas Toast except for the price. It sells for just a dollar sixty-four for eight slices in a box. I haven’t found Texas …
Bazooka Bubble Gum
During trick or treating this year, rather than hand out candy, I instead filled my bowl with pieces of Bazooka Bubble Gum. My wife thought it was because I�m a cheapskate. Not true. I chose to do this simply because I wanted the leftovers.
I�ve tried quite a few brands …
Tesco Value Strawberries
I fancied getting in some strawberries and cream to serve to some guests I had recently and as I was a bit strapped for cash I was tempted to buy a big 400g tub of strawberries from the Tesco Value range. They were only £1.50 which is very …
Lean Cuisine Thai Chicken
Many people have made New Year’s resolutions to lose weight in the upcoming year. As someone who is dieting myself I can tell you that finding good “diet frozen lunches” can be tough. Luckily Lean Cuisine has produced Thai Style Chicken. The Thai Style Chicken from Lean Cuisine is …
Knorr Pasta Sides Stroganoff
This Pasta Side for one dollar and fifty cents didn’t please me very much. It certainly sounded good on the package, but once I had it in front of me, I wasn’t impressed with what it had to offer. First of all, the mushroom sauce left a lot to …
Nissin Cup Noodles Mast Masala
We had our breakfast today with noodles in a cup and it was the quickest thing that I can prepare for my husband who is really early to go to work and we don’t have much time to prepare any sandwich or so.
It was my first time to buy …
ACT II -Movie Theater Butter popcorn
Not really a popcorn lover, I do occasionally enjoy a bag of it, when I’m not in the mood for a heavier snack. And even more infrequently do I eat it during the movies. But if I AM going to have it, I prefer anything that …
Fit n Right
The new Del Monte Fit n’ Right is advertised with the tag line “Be Fit. Be Firm. Be Fab.” They boast of it as having L-Carnitine which helps burn fat when you drink it.
In a way, this product tastes good, thanks to the flavors of this juice: Apple, Pineapple, …

McDonald’s Double Cheeseburger
Because I’m a cheapskate who sometimes resorts to counting change and heading to the Golden Arches for the $1.00 value menu, I have become a seasoned eater of the double cheeseburger at McDonald’s. In the last year, I have probably had about 80 of them, usually two at …
Chilean Food : calzones de rotos
I’ve been living in Chile for almost 7 Months, and I have tried almost the typical food of Chilean. One of the most famous is Calzones de Rotos, which means torn pants. It’s a funny name, yes. Why is it called that way? because of if shape like a …
Nestle Pure Life bottled water
While I do consume a lot of bottled water throughout the whole year, I tend to have a bottle constantly with me during the summer months because it does get quite hot and humid here. Since I drink so much water, I tend to just buy whatever is on …
Walmart Deli Macaroni Salad
I like macaroni salad once in a while, but I don’t like making it (I would think I’m not alone in this??). Thankfully, Walmart Deli carries a very decent version of this salad, always fresh and not expensive. I recently bought a large, 4 lb plastic container of it, …
Tostitos Hint of Lime
The other day I tried this kind of tortilla chip again - I had had them before, but not really paid attention to the taste. They actually taste very good. I had thought lime sounded kind of strange for a chip flavour, but with the saltiness of tortilla chips, …
Red Baron’s Singles Deep Dish Pizza
Red Baron’s Singles Deep Dish Pizza is what I crave on almost a daily basis. I first tried it a couple of months ago and has been hook on it every since. It has a different taste than other pizzas and it doesn’t take long at all to cook …
Chick-fil-A Sausage Biscuit
Chick-fil-A Sausage Biscuit is pretty good, although not quite as good as the McDonald’s Sausage McGriddle. The reason I prefer the Sausage McGriddle is because I really like the soft, maple filled pancakes and they taste terrific with sausage. Nonetheless, there are a couple of things that I like …
Quorn Smoky Ham Style Slices
I had not had a ham sandwich for about twenty five years before trying these —˜vegetarian ham’ slices from the Quorn brand recently. I saw them in Tesco at the pretty low price of £1.20 for about eight slices. I had a craving for a ham sandwich …
Jell-O Strawberry Cheesecake Temptations
I am a huge cheesecake fan I would sooner eat cheesecake than just about any desert and so when I saw the television commercials for Jell—”O’s Strawberry Cheesecake Temptations I just knew I was going to have to buy them. They are actually a little cheaper than I …
Uncle Ben’s Ready Rice Spanish Style
What I like the most about “Uncle Ben’s Ready Rice Spanish Style” is that the rice is both soft and flavorful. I dislike rice that comes out tasting hard, and quite thankfully that’s never a problem I’ve come across with this brand. Every spoonful is smooth in texture in …

Complan - The energy drink
Today every one of us wants to provide the best for our growing kids. We want them safe from diseases, and to be strong enough from inside to fight against infections from the outside world. Surely prevention is always better than cure, as rightly said by someone.
We all take …
Dianora’s Mini Pizzas
Another item my wife and I ended up buying at Save-a-Lot (well, actually, I was the one who picked them out when she wasn’t looking) was Dianora’s Mini Pizzas.
I have purchased similar mini pizzas in the past and wasn’t really expecting much from these. I just figured they would …
Wegman’s Honey Apple Oat Bread
I recently did some shopping at Wegmans in Moorestown, NJ, and decided to pick up some bread. I was going for whole grain when I happened upon Wegman’s own Honey Apple Oat bread (Apple bits with honey and cinnamon). Just the name intrigued me. I like …

Due to health reasons, I only buy peanut butter that is “natural”, meaning the only ingredients are roasted peanuts and either salt or salt and sugar (and possibly a little extra oil), so that I can avoid the trans fats in hydrogenated oils that are often included in other …
Lucky Me Mac and Cheese
We were in the supermarket when my daughter grabbed this Lucky Me Mac and Cheese and requested to buy it for her. Seeing it from a tv commercial made her want it so much. And so I bought a couple of packs at 15 pesos (if …
Kellogg’s Rice Krispies Treats
The Rice Krispie Treat recipe from scratch is an easy favorite for many households. Making it is sticky, and time consuming, but the end result is a fun food.
Making the recipe from scratch involves sticks of butter, marshmallow fluff or marshmallows, and a large box of Rice …
Hunt’s Tomato Ketchup
There is a lot that I like about Hunt’s Tomato Ketchup, although there are some things that I feel could be improved that would make this ketchup even better. First though, let me say that this is a really rich ketchup that does a superb job of adding a …

Nutella Hazelnut Spread With Skim Milk and Cocoa

Lambertz Exquisit Biscuits, Orange Stick
I like every sweet thin that contains orange and chocolate because I like nice little sour but fresh taste of orange that mix nicely with sweet chocolate. But this stick I didn’t like very much. It has too sweet chocolate made with lots of butter. This butter makes chocolate …
