I buy quiche quite often as it is handy to heat up quickly to provide part of my lunch, usually along with a bit of salad. This Mediterraneaan Vegetable Deep Fill Quiche from Tesco is what I would call a medium quality quiche. This cost me £1.37 …

When you’ve returned from foreign holidays, it’s strange how things that tasted really great wherever you were, now taste terrible. I have been to many countries and found this to be the case. I don’t know what the reason for things seeming to be good when you’re elsewhere and …

This ice cream by Ben and Jerry’s sounded delectable. Normally I find regular cheesecake very rich, and I figured it would be even more so as an ice cream. Still, I wanted to try it. I love the way Ben and Jerry’s makes their ice cream, and I really …

I tried the ‘Low Fat Strawberry Yoghurt’ from Tesco’s Value range for the first time. I am open-minded about their ‘Value’ range as some products are not so bad. I would not expect this to be on a par to more expensive yoghurts as it is a …

This is one of my absolute favorite treats! At less than ninety cents per donut, it is also a very cheap snack. I love that I don’t have to feel guilty about the fact that it’s a bad treat AND expensive, because what’s ninety cents?
I get a Tim Horton’s …

Betty Crocker - Original Supreme Brownies are really rich brownies that are enriched with real Hershey’s chocolate. Enriched is most certainly the right word because the Hershey’s chocolate does indeed makes its presence known in these brownies! This gives the brownies a slightly different flavor than the other brownie …

I received a sample of Kashi cereal and I thought it was going be really good. Instead it was extremely crunchy and too hard. It was almost too hard to even eat and enjoy. I didn’t even eat the entire bowl of cereal and that is not like me. …

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.

It’s been a few years since I’ve had McDonald’s Chicken Nuggets but, because they were cheaper than their Chicken Select Strips, I figured I would give them a try yesterday. They are much better than I remember them.
I believe a lot of the reason for that is McDonalds seems …

Just because an item is cheap does not mean that it is necessarily unpleasant, but this ‘Pasta in a Tomato & Onion Sauce’ from the Tesco Value range is not one of them. This was only 28 pence for a 110g sachet which gives you one portion, so …

Sometimes I worry about …
