Donuts from Save More Supermarket
We have come to patronize Save More Supermarket not only because it is nearest our place, but also because its operating hours is from 7 a.m. up to 9 a.m. Every Wednesday at 7.a.m. my family shops there, taking advantage of the almost deserted grocery. Although this grocery is …
Banquet Lasagna with Meat Sauce
According to the directions you can place this in the oven or microwave it for ten minutes, stir it and put it in for another four to six and finally let it sit for three minutes. Having three of us to feed and a limited amount of time we …
Rondo C bombons by Cedevita
These were always my favourite bombons. I used to love them when I was little girl and then for a few years I couldn’t find the anywhere so when they came back to shops I was really happy and I started buying them again. Now I don’t buy any …
Hormel Compleats Beaf Steak & Peppers
I thought that this convenient, healthful entree would be great for those times when I don’t want to cook, but it turned out to be a mushy mess with a bland, icky flavor.
What You Get
Beef steak and peppers usually comes on a bed of rice, but Hormel …
Arizona Sweet Tea Southern Style
I am from the southern United States where our staple foods include fried chicken, collard greens, corn bread, and sweet tea. When it comes to drinking sweet tea, I am just like all southern people who believe the sweetness of the tea is an indicator of how good …
Crush Orange Soda
I have always been a huge fan of Pepsi products, but since I am on such a tight budget I only buy it when it is on sale. The last time, probably around Memorial Day, they had a lot of deals on Pepsi products, and I got a variety …
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. …
IttiBitz Cotton Candy Ice Cream
IttiBitz Cotton Candy ice cream is a sweet, delight I found in the ice cream aisle of super Wal-Mart. It’s pretty small but the flavor packs a mean punch if you’re into cotton candy.
IttiBitz is one of those “dots” ice cream; not exactly from the company Dots, but it …
Tanzanian Peaberry Cascade Pride
We moved back to Gresham, Oregon four years ago from Kitsap County Washington. Our move placed us in close proximity to Winco Foods, already a favorite store of ours from the past. We began buying Winco’s Cascade Pride bulk coffee beans, which was a good deal for our tight …
Gilbey’s Vodka
I like to drink Gilbey’s Vodka a lot. This brand of vodka is very good and and at a cheap price. Now Gilbey’s Vodka is not as high quality as other brand of vodka but it’s still good. The thing about this vodka is that it does get you buzzed. …
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 …
Cape Cod All-Natural Sea Salt and Vineger Chips
In my opinion I think that Cape Cod Potato Chips are some of the best chips on the market. They are pricey at almost $4 per bad at Walmart, but their flavor and texture are superb. My favorite of the Cape Cod chips are the Original and Sea Salt …
Mango Sorbet
Mango is one of my favorite flavors and I even love the fake mango flavor used in candy that doesn’t usually taste anything like the real fruit. New Zealand Ice Cream is kind of hit or miss with me, while some of their flavors are worth the inflated price …
Devon Chocolate Chip Cookies
I have tried a variety of cookies in my time and I like Devon Chocolate Chip cookies for one main reason. It is absolutely wonderful when it is spread with or dipped in peanut butter or Nutella.
I had written earlier about Devon Oaties and I went to the grocery …
Home Choice Lime Juice
Ever since the summer started this year and our lime tree had not been producing very many limes because of the drought, my family and I had started to buy lime juice again. However, some brands could be a bit expensive at the time, which was hard since we …
Hershey’s Strawberry Syrup
While I was at the store recently, my kids asked me to get some Hershey�s strawberry syrup. Since it was on sale, I decided to give in and get some more. My kids like to make strawberry flavored milk with the Hershey�s strawberry syrup. They also …
McDonald’s $1 Soda and Sweet Tea promotion
I know that we all just love McDonald’s, but I think that it is really great that they have a summer promotion going on now where you can get any size soda or sweet tea for just a $1.00. It is super inexpensive, and I am sure it drives …
St. Louis Bread Company Thai Chopped Chicken Salad
Panera has a new salad for the winter season! It’s an Asian-inspired salad with chicken, cashews, edamame, and wonton strips. When I walked into Panera for my usual order of one of their sandwiches, they were offering samples of this Thai Chopped Chicken Salad to the customers. …
Snickers Ice Cream Bar
Two of my favourite foods are ice cream and chocolate, and even though I’m not a fan of the Snickers chocolate bar, I was still curious to find out what the “Snickers Ice Cream Bar” would taste like when I saw it selling recently in a store.
While I …
Pillsbury Perfect portions biscuits
Pillsbury perfect portions is a great invention for single people. I have always had trouble when making biscuits, especially out of the can. You can’t open a can of biscuits and save any of them for later, because they get hard and spoil. It’s gets pretty …
Earth Grains Sweet French Rolls
Back in college, I had my first hoagie sandwich ever, and let’s just say after having one, it just wasn’t enough. I just loved those things. Since then, I have naturally enjoyed many hoagies and similar sandwiches. One of my favorites is the popular sub sandwich, …
Great Value Cottage Cheese
Great Value Cottage Cheese comes in 16 oz and 24 oz plastic container. I usually buy the bigger one, priced $ 2.12. The cottage cheese is protected with a foil seal that you will need to remove when you first open it. I like this cottage cheese for breakfast, …
Lactaid Fat Free Milk
Dairy is the key to a successful weight loss diet plan. I never liked milk while growing up. I never asked for it in any day from the time I stopped drinking milk as a kid until I reached 21. I was desperately trying to lose weight and I found …
Mrs. Freshley’s SnackAway Yogurt Oatmeal Cremes
I find Mrs. Freshley’s SnackAway Yogurt Oatmeal Cremes to be a light and tasty treat to have every now and then. These creme cookies are soft and the oatmeal flavor is quite prevalent. They most certainly were not skimpy when it came to giving these cookies an oatmeal flavor! …
Wylwood Green Beans
We had barbecue for dinner last night and one of the side dishes we ended up making was green beans from the brand Wylwood.
I’m familiar with this brand and have had no major complaints about it. And, once again, the brand did not disappoint.
First, there was a large quantity …
Triscuit Limited Edition Cranberry & Sage Wheat Crackers
Triscuit crackers are probably one of the healthier crackers out there, due to whole grain wheat being a main ingredient and the decent amount of dietary fiber that they have to offer. There is no question though that some people just don’t like wheat, and even if someone enjoys …
McCain Pizza Crescendo Rising Crust Pizza
The other night I found I was just too tired to make supper, so I picked up McCain Pizza Crescendo Rising Crust Pizza in Roasted Chicken Deluxe.
I had not had a lot of luck lately with store bought pizzas as they all seem to have cardboard thin crust, and …
Palastri sangiovese di Romagna - red wine
I recently tasted Palastri sangiovese di Romagna wine. It’s a red, medium bodied wine from Italy. I bought it because it was half price rather than because it had been recommended. I enjoyed it. It would go well with an evening meal but I enjoyed a glass …
Perk Poppers chocolate
I knew about this chocolate since a long time but I never tasted it. Perk Poppers are actually a set of oval balls containing biscuit-like fillings coated with chocolate. They are packed in a small bag, which is half the size of a cargo pocket. I ate this chocolate …
Campbell’s Chunky New England Clam Chowder
Product Description: Microwavable bowl of Campbell’s Chunky Soup New England Clam Chowder. I purchased this earlier this morning for $2.39 at one of our local grocery stores (though I think it is available for less money at a couple of the other stores here in town).
What I liked about …
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 …
Tesco Finest New Zealand Clover honey
Finest New Zealand Clover honey is one of my favorite sandwich spread and there are times in which I usually use it over on top of my toasted bread with a little bit of butter on it and I have to admit that this honey is the best honey …
Quaker Popped Cheddar Cheese Rice Snacks
Quaker Popped Cheddar Cheese Rice Snacks Is product I grabbed at my neighborhood Kroger, when they were running a two for three sale on them. Given that it was a snack from Quaker, I wasn’t hesitate to give it a try. Quaker is one of those brands that …
Toblerone
This chocolade is produced in Switzerland and like almost all Swiss chocolate this chocolate is perfect and I really enjoy everything about it. I like the shape of it because you just bite it, it would look silly to bite a standard bar of chocolate because it is thin …
Diet IBC Root Beer
IBC root beer is not A & W root beer, but it is still pretty darn good. And when it comes to the diets, I hate to admit it but diet IBC beats diet A & W any day of the week. I can barely differentiate diet …
Tranquil’s Tuna Sandwich
I absolutely love tuna and I always make it at home in a completely different way. Definitely not tuna salad style. Either way, I was introduced to Tranquil’s Tuna Sandwich by one of my friends who was very accustomed to having them. They only come available in already sliced …
Campbell Condensed Soup Bean with Bacon
Campbell is that brand with the red and white label,that automatically catches my eye whenever I am browsing though the grocery store. There’s so many different ones to choose from that sometimes find myself conflicted on what to get. Usually what like to get is the condensed soups like …
Chick-fil-A Icedream
Icedream is simply the name that Chick-fil-A gives to its ice cream. It is indeed a dream though! The flavor of the vanilla ice cream is quite spectacular. The vanilla flavor is rich and the texture creamy - each lick is a real taste sensation! Although I cannot say …
Baja Fresh Mexican Grill Vegetarian Tostada Salad at Cerritos, CA
This is my favorite kind of salad —“ a deep-fried tortilla shaped into a bowl to hold savory, complementary ingredients. When I tried the Tostada Salad at Baja Fresh, I was in the vegetarian phase that all searching college students go through, meaning no meat product and any …
Irish Potato
It is amazing that an item this small can make such a terrible stink. I usually purchase Irish Potatos on a Saturday morning while doing my grocery shopping, they are for Mashed Potatoes or Potatos Salad usually on the Sunday for dinner. I often buy enough to last for …
I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter Mediterranean Blend
“I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter Mediterranean Blend” is the only spread that I use. I use it because it is a little healthier than using butter or margarine because it is cholesterol free, there are no partially hydrogenated oils, fat and saturated fat are in lower concentrations as …
Tesco Value Spicy Curry Flavour Noodle Snack
This Spicy Curry Flavour Noodle Quick Snack is from Tesco’s Value range and it only cost a mere 32p or thereabouts. Sometimes these really cheap, economy products turn out to be not so bad and sometimes they are so disgusting that it is just false economy to buy …
Quaker Low Fat Chewy Chocolate Chunk Granola Bars
The first time I bought these granola bars, I was with a friend who told me they were the best thing on the planet. best thing- probably not, but they are pretty good.
I usually leave for work in the morning in a rush, I keep a box of …

Squeezed for you Calamansi Extract
The last time I commented on the same kind of product but of different brand, I had to be really mean because I have nothing good to say about the product except that it was cheap. Well, computing and thinking about it, this product is also cheap because it …
KFC Gravy
I go to a fastfood on a daily basis for a few months now. Because I am employed in a call center. And as a customer I am fond of ordering fried chicken. What I always take note of is the taste of gravy sauce. I have …
Blue Bunny Cookies ‘N Cream Ice Cream Sandwich
Blue Bunny Cookies ‘N Cream Ice Cream Sandwich turned out to be quite a disappointing ice cream sandwich. What made the sandwich so disappointing? Well, there seemed to be very little flavor to enjoy here. For example, neither the vanilla nor the chocolate flavors did very much for my …
