Cold coffee drinks are one of my addictions. So whe I saw one of them produced by Starbucks, I just had to try. The little devil of 250ml costed me €1,89 (about $2) at a Belgian supermarket. Not cheap, but compared to the prices of Starbucks drinks in their …

This Columbian Arabica Instant Coffee from Sainsbury’s Taste the Difference range is a delicious, smooth coffee with a lovely flavour and it is an instant coffee that I buy every now and then. It says on the label —˜The perfect balance of acidity and sweetness —“ just like …

We were visiting my cousin recently and the only sugar free drink she had was cherry coke zero. I didn’t particularly like the regular coke zero, but thought I’d give the cherry one a try.
Much to my surprise I liked it! I haven’t had cherry flavored coke in …

Halloween is almost here again. Well, to be honest, it’s more than a month away at the time of this article’s writing, but already I’m craving my favorite Halloween treats. Usually I’m perfectly satisfied with generic and store brands, but Great Value candy corn was a disappointment.
In …

French Baker’s Cream Puff used to be the best of its kind when I was studying about 6 years ago. I buy the cream puffs all the time but I do not remember how much was it back then. I bought two cream puffs today, each priced at Php23.00 …

Jell-o Pudding - Chocolate is not quite as good as the instant pudding that comes in the box, this ready-made chocolate pudding that comes in a three pack is still quite enjoyable. The flavor, although not as rich, is still on the same plane as delicious and I never …

I never really liked eating oats because it tasted just like flour cooked in water. But that was when I’ve not yet discovered that there is another kind of oat which tastes much better. Well the oats I used to hate are the instant oats. But when I tried …

I have a history of making lumpy gravies. I’ve tried sifting flour into it, adding little bits at a time etc and have not once succeeded in making a gravy that is lump free. Knowing how much I struggle with my gravies, my grandmother recommended trying Wondra …

When it comes to ice cream I’m up for trying new flavors, but the Blue Bell key lime half gallon would definitely prove to be a bit much for me.
Publix was having one of their sales, and I knew the prices on Blue Bell ice cream would have a …

I bought this snack bar without really reading the label. I just wanted something that remotely had some health benefits as a snack when I was on one of my big walks to give me energy and keep me going until I can eat. I spotted this …

Have you ever wondered what all those substitutes for cheese, meat, poultry, sausage, ice-cream taste like? I’m not vegan and I’m not dairy-free, but I’ve always wondered whether those things taste legit or not. I might not remember what real beef tastes like, but I do know the taste of …

Six ears of corn come in the Season’s Choice Corn On The Cob pack at ALDI Food Market stores for one dollar and twenty-nine cents. The corn on the cob is cut into convenient halves, thus it’s a lot shorter than the non-refrigerated corn for sale in the produce …

You don’t have to be vegan to love plant-based milk. I love eating oatmeal for breakfast, but I absolutely hate the oatmeal made with milk. The water-based oatmeal also gets boring sometimes and you want something creamier, so that’s when vegan milk comes in handy. Almond milk seems to be …

I recently tried Alexia frozen sweet potato fries and I was very pleasantly surprised by them. I was looking for a good alternative to regular french fries that would provide some extra nutritional punch while still tasting good, and Alexia sweet potato fries fit the bill.
Just like regular …

I was surprised to find, during my grocery shopping at my local Wal-Mart, an energetic, bright-eyed woman of about thirty-five years of age, giving out samples of Zipfizz. She described it as a “healthier alternative to energy drinks by providing you with important vitamins and minerals!”
…

I’ve had this ice cream a few times, and I really do like it. Before I purchased it I didn’t really know much about it, though a co-worker of mine recommended it and said it was really great.
I like that the ice cream has a really festive appearance, with …

Asia Brewery, Inc. was primarily known as a beer manufacturer in competition with San Miguel Corporation. It has since ventured into other kinds of drinks and one of them is Feelgood Juice Drink.
I am not so naïve as to believe every marketing scheme out there but I am not …

I’ve been aware of the Bumble Bee tuna line for quite some time: My first stab at the Bumble Bee tuna salad kit was when I was in elementary school. What makes the Bumble Bee tuna salad kit so good is that it has great portion control, and it …

It’s hard to find a pizza that is much better than the rest of them being offered by delivery places. But, Dominos Brooklyn Style Pizza actually accomplishes it.
The pizza, which is on a thin crust that needs to be folded in order to eat a slice, comes loaded with …

The Freschetta Brick Oven Roasted Portabella Mushrooms and Spinach Pizza is a great buy. For just under $5 you can get a wonderfully tasty “white sauce” pizza that goes from freezer to table in just under 20 minutes.
A square pizza with a white cream sauce, little sliced portabella mushrooms, …

I am not generally a big fan of meals that contain a lot of pastry, but my exception to the rule is Schneiders Lean Stuffs Chicken Quesadila pockets. Often they are a ridiculous price at my Supermarket, but when they came on sale for $2.50 I bought them. What …

Classic Coca-Cola is a delicious and flavorful soft drink that is, at least in my case, addicting. Just having a can of this soda elevates my spirit and enhances my level of concentration - probably a result of the caffeine in the soda. Speaking of caffeine, that is just …

Wendy’s - Coffee Toffee Twisted Frosty is a flavor combination that I thought I might like, but ultimately found out that it was a flavor combination that just did very little for me in terms of exciting my taste buds. The coffee syrup that is a part of the …

I have always loved Brie cheese and when I found a pastry product by Damafro called Brie en Brioche with Mushrooms I decided to buy it on sale for $1.99CDN. I have to say this 225gram box was attractively packaged showing half a round pastry with a rich layer …

Chocolate Marshmallow Peeps Mousse Flavored Cats offer a pretty tasty chocolate and marshmallow combination. I can taste both flavors quite easily and the two make a good combination, I think. Plus, neither flavor tastes artificial, and that is always a good thing. The chocolate and marshmallow compliment each other …

The other day my wife told me that Sonic’s now has a dollar menu. That’s always good news to me, I like cheap food. This morning on the way to work I stopped by Sonic’s and tried the breakfast burrito off the dollar menu. I wasn’t insanely impressed with …

I ended up in our local grocery store’s dollar aisle this morning and picked up a box of granola bars from the brand Pampa as a snack for work.
When I bought them, I wasn’t expecting much from them. But, they turned out to be pretty decent.
The granola bars were …

Trader Joes grocery stores is one of my favorite places to shop,both for the good bargains–often much lower than safeway’s prices,and the great products they carry.One of these items i highly recommend are trader Ming’s’s brand Won Ton Chips.They are snack chips made from won ton squares.These snacks come …

My wife has been doing a lot of shopping at our local Piggly Wiggly lately (because she just doesn’t want to drive across town to a different store). And, as a result, we’ve been eating a lot of Food Club products (their store brand).
One item she picked up recently …

It is interesting that Nescafe make different types of coffee in different countries. I didn’t realize this until I bought some recently in Spain and found that it was a stronger blend than the one we buy in Britain. Of course, it could be that it is due to …

This Dark Roast Freeze Dried Instant Coffee from Sainsbury’s own brand is indeed, as it says on the label, dark and intense, which incidentally is how I like my men. This is lovely coffee, especially for me as I like a good strong cup which is smooth as …

This breakfast syrup product is definitely not worth trying. I bought some by mistake because the label on front had a sticker on it that hid the word “Lite”. I had been buying the company’s (Pinnacle foods group) regular County Kitchens syrup for some time and was happy with …

Folgers Classic Decaf is naturally decaffeinated coffee, with rich tasty flavor that is almost no different from regular Folgers. I have no idea how they managed to get the caffeine out of coffee and still have it tasting like coffee, but they did it. I know some coffee addicts …

I just finished eating a bowl of Mushroom Burger’s Pancit Canton. This is what a local noodles meal is called here in the country. Well most Chinese do love pancit canton on birthdays and celebrations. Mushroom Burger’s is more of a vegetarian type of noodles with loads of different …

I really don’t understand why there is a difference, but over the years, from my own experience and based on conversations with others, there is no doubt that there is a definite difference between the A&W root beer acquired at an A&W restaurant versus the cans and liters purchased …

Powerade: Sour Melon is one of the newer flavors of the powerade family. I purchased this beverage at the family dollar store for a $1.08. I got the entire thirty-two ounce ounce size chilled. The liquid itself is a neon green, not glow in the dark but a bit …

Blue Bunny FrozFruit Strawberries & Cream is a pretty enjoyable treat that I like to have every now and then. I find the combination of strawberry and cream to be a wonderful one that works really well and offers my taste buds a lot of flavor to appreciate. The …

Del Monte Fit ‘n Right Blueberry-Grape, the latest variant in Del Monte’s Fit ‘n Right product line. This new variant boosts less sugar and fewer calories and when I look at the previous variants particularly the Four Season’s variant, true
enough, it has a lower sugar level, from 22g (I …

Hey gentle reader folk, guess what time it is?
It’s blatantly fake lunch pail time again!
Once more, I’m working on my fitness and diet to “pre-treat” the bad holiday habits with soup. On the docket today is Campbell’s Chunky Manhattan Clam Chowder. Is it a good product? Is it a …

Last few days I’ve been checking out different cheap snacks. I must admit that they were all rather cheap and that I didn’t pay for any of them more than 50 Euro cents and I was quite satisfied with some of them while I wasn’t satisfied at all with …

I love Satay Sauce very much. If you go to any hawker stall to order Satay food, make sure that the stallholder does include Satay Sauce together with your Satay dish.
That is a must in everything. The most favorite flavor that I love about Satay Sauce …

When I was young my family got together all the time in a uncle’s farm in Venezuela where he had cane, and everybody loved going there because the minute you stepped on the land the first thing you had to do was grab a piece that my aunt already …

I like LifeSavers mint candy, it is one of my favorite candy-dish fillers. LifeSavers are available as Wint-o-Green (mint) and Pepp-o-Mint (peppermint); a well-sized 13 oz bag costs $1.98. Each candy is individually wrapped, and each has “LifeSavers” impressed on it. The candies are white, round, with a hole …

I bought Banana Nut Crunch Cereal at the store because it was on sale. I love bananas and banana bread and eat cereal twice a day so this seemed perfect for me. I was disappointed in the cereal from the moment I opened the box. …

Stouffer’s Stuffed Peppers are pretty good, although I do wish that the actual peppers were crispier and crunchier as opposed to be somewhat on the soft and soggy side. Oh well, one can only expect so much from frozen meals, I suppose. The green peppers do have a pretty …

Smuckers Uncrustables are a peanut butter and jelly sandwhich with no crust. I get these in the frozen department of the grocery store. These made great snacks for the kids when on a long trip in the car, or for anytime. My older daughter likes to take her lunch …

I am not a big fan of banana products, I like banana but I don’t like any other product which has banana in it but today I saw something really interesting at the shop and I just couldn’t resist. In the fridge where I usually take yogurts I saw …

Nova Multigrain Chips is another product of the Jack n Jill company. A very famous company that deals with snacks, chips and other household edible products. I have heard about this product and have tried it a few times, but I guess I just appreciated it recently due to …

I must say that I was expecting much more of this chocolate. When you read Swiss on the chocolate wrapping you immediately know you are going to have a treat, especially if the wrapping itself looks very expensive too. Bio is a synonym for health in my head so …

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 …
