Algida always has great ice creams and they are not very expensive, the price goes 3.50 Euro to 5 Euro. Sometimes I even manage to find them for 2.80 Euro when they are on discount but that’s not very often. I am talking about 500g containers of regular Algida …

For me, nothing beats a real milk shake that you get at a restaurant. Next to that is a refreshing glass of Crystal chocolate milk. Some companies now also make these single serve chocolate drinks, which they call milk shakes, and sell them at the stores. For …

I found Blue Bunny Original Ice Cream Mint Chip to be a decent flavor, although it is certainly not in my top five favorites. The mint flavor of the the ice cream really tastes like any other brand of mint ice cream, and that in itself is actually disappointing …

The reason why I bought Oishi Berri Plunge is its packaging. It has a cute packaging; the color is pink with red lettering. The color looks appealing to me maybe because I am a girl. There is a picture of the flakes on the packaging; however, it does not …

Do you love hot chocolate on a cold winters day? I know when the temperatures begin to fall and I am chilly I enjoy sipping on a creamy and steamy cup of cocoa. I am a cheapskate by nature, and also by circumstance, so naturally when I saw Great Value …

I absolutely love hot chocolate. I even drink it during the summer, which, I think, proves how strong my feelings towards hot chocolate are. I usually make my own hot chocolate with cocoa powder and natural sweeteners, but every time I see a new drinking chocolate powder at the store …

Butter is a good alternative for cooking oil. And for snack, I can quickly prepare a sandwich by spreading butter such as Dari Creme on bread. Dari Creme has been one of my choices for so long, as a partner for unflavored bread. The old Dari Creme still exists …

These apricot bites are really tasty to have either as a snack in say the afternoon or as a way to add some sweet and tangy taste to a salad. They are indeed both sweet and tangy, a scrumptious combination that offers a richness that can never be ignored …

I made Martha White cheese garlic biscuits for dinner. This was the first time I had tried this product. I got it at the dollar general and thought that it looked like an interesting product to try. They are very easy to make and all you have …

Growing up, life just wasn’t complete without Kool-Aid. We had it all the time. Over the years, Kool-Aid faded a bit from my life, but recently I’ve rediscovered the brand, thanks to their Kool-Aid Singles.
I’m very big into convenience and no-mess products. I like things that …

Wendy’s - Homestyle Chicken Go Wrap is a wrap that I find enjoyable as long as I ask them to skip the ranch sauce. I do not care for the zesty sauce and I feel that it gets in the way of the flavors that I would much rather …

I was the one to pick this bottle of …

Aunt Jemima: Lite Syrup is really a horrible syrup! I tried this syrup because it offered significantly less sugar than the regular syrups, but boy oh boy does the reduction of sugar result in a massive reduction of flavor which seriously ruins the entire breakfast. This syrup had such …

It’s too bad I’m not really that crazy about the flavor of this popcorn because I like that this popcorn is made with canola oil. Since it’s made with canola oil, there’s not quite as much saturated fat and there’s even some good things to be found in this …

We made mashed potatoes last night and, because we didn’t want to eat them plain, we decided to pick up some gravy to go with them.

Krusteaz Buttermilk Pancake Mix allows for the creation of average tasting pancakes. The reason I say average is because this pancake mix requires the addition of water opposed to milk. Pancakes that are made using water typically fall apart easier and do not quite taste as good or come …

These graham crackers are utterly terrible. They are made with organic grains (as differentiaed from being completely organic), and they are slightly sweet and graham cracker shaped with proper perforations, but they do not taste like graham crackers let alone very good.
