Stewart’s Root Beer Soda is a beverage I first tried just this last year, in 2008. It’s a costly item, so it’s something I only purchase when on sale, and then only occasionally. Where I live, on sale it’s $3.00 for four bottles, so it’s definitely premium …

I’ll be honest. I only got these because they were free, after applying a pretty decent coupon to a store sale. But Pillsbury Scrambles are really pretty decent breakfast food.
The Scrambles consist of scrambled eggs and something else — I’ve had the bacon and the sausage ones so far …

I’ve been buying Totino’s Crisp Crust Party Pizzas since I was about 15 years old. I remember all I had to do was throw one of those pizzas in the oven and less than 15 minutes later dinner was served. Though I’ve been buying these pizzas for some time …
