Tesco Tiger Rolls
I was in Tesco today and the smell of their in-house bakery enticed me over and these Tiger Rolls looked so nice I bought a packet of six which cost me only 65 pence. I could feel that they were still slightly warm from the bakery and I …
Stovetop Cornbread Stuffing
I have loved stuffing ever since I was a kid. It was always my favorite part of the Thanksgiving Dinner. That, and the candied sweet potatoes. I recently bought some on my last trip to the grocery store and was excited to be able to make it again.
I …
Jelly Belly Lollibeans
I fully admit to having a love of Jelly Belly jellybeans. They were the first (and maybe only) company to make Dr. Pepper flavored jellybeans and they have a lot of flavors that you just can’t find anywhere else. They are now making suckers, which they call Lollibeans. I …
Traverse Bay Fruit Co. Dried Cherries
Traverse Bay Fruit Co. Dried Cherries come in a four pound box for twenty five dollars. That’s a lot of money for just four pounds of cherries! If however one can get past the sky high price, he or she is very likely to find these dried cherries to …
Kiki fruit toffee by Kras
When I was little I adored these candies. I remember my parents were always buying them to me because they weren’t expensive and you get quite a lot of candies in the bag, plus I liked them, but my parents didn’t. They were saying that these candies were sticking …
Hershey’s BLISS, Raspberry (chocolate candy)
Hershey’s may be a time-honoured “institution” in the USA, but many chocolate lovers outside the USA know it only by name. And to be honest, their products are often thought to be less “sophisticated” than their European counterparts.
Recently, I had the pleasure of tasting a Hershey’s product for the …
Glutino Gluten Free Cheddar Crackers
These crackers taste as good, if not better, than regular cheddar crackers. That might seem like a bold statement because gluten free foods often don’t taste the same or as great but in this case, it’s the truth.
The box when purchased contains two silver packages of these crackers. The …
Coffee House Ready to drink coffee
I know I already have attested and admitted how much I enjoy drinking a cup or a glass of cold coffee or frappucino. Well it is not quite obvious that even coffee mixes in tetra packs have been tried by me. Just this morning, I tried the “coffeehouse” brand …
Cheetos Twisted Puffs and Chester Cheetah’s white paws
One has to wonder how Chester Cheetah keeps his white paws so clean.
Honestly have you ever eaten a Cheetos Cheese Snack? There is no way you can keep your fingers from turning orange, unless you eat them with you lips and lips only.
I love how the …
Pillsbury Refrigerated Sugar Cookie Dough
When my son’s 2nd birthday came rolling around we decided to do a Mickey Mouse theme. I’m a very do it yourself kind of person and everything at the party was pretty much home made one way or another. I did, however, find the need to take …
L’oven Fresh Mini Muffins Blueberry
These mini muffins were okay, although they didn’t really satisfy me to the point where I wanted to rush out and purchase another package once they were all gone. There’s nothing really wrong with these mini muffins, they’re just pretty average, maybe slightly above average. Perhaps the best quality …
Dairy Milk Caramel Nubbles
These little bits of Chocolate haven’t been out all that long. I can’t say how long they have been out, perhaps 6 months or so. I tried them when they first came out and they are really nice.
I like the Cadbury’s brand and like Cadbury’s Caramel. It is quite …
Banquet Beef Pot Pie
With a net weight of 7 ounces, Banquet Beef Pot Pies are a small, but tasty pot pie that is sold in a cardboard pie “tin”. Although the poultry (chicken and turkey) pot pies are my favorites, I also am quite fond of …
Wholly Guacamole
I love guacamole, but I do not like to make it at home. I do not like to try to select a ripe avocado because I inevitably choose the wrong one. I also like to have my guacamole ready when I am in the mood for it, without …
Quorn Peppered Steaks
I have been a vegetarian for many years now and although I do not miss meat in the slightest and I do not even see it as food anymore but —˜dead bodies’, I do sometimes lack the imagination to know how to put a well balanced vegetarian meal together. …
Twinkies Golden Sponge Cake
Twinkies Golden Sponge Cake is a snack that I used to enjoy more as a kid than I do as an adult. I used to like the sponge cake texture and taste, but now it kind of disgusts me. The creme on the inside is still pretty tasty and …
Original Ceylon Tea Company: 1001 Nights
This is a lovely, refreshing and mellow black tea with flavors of fruit and roses. I bought this tea on a whim from Grocery Outlet - how I love being able to try new things on the cheap — and when I sip it I am filled with …
Denny’s Country-Fried Steak & Eggs
When my boyfriend and I were in Los Angeles to view an art exhibit, we decided to stop at Denny’s for a cheap breakfast. We decided to share the Country-Fried Steak & Eggs because it sounded like too much food for one person —“ two steaks with gravy, …
Domino’s Pizza Fort Walton Beach,FL
Today my husband and I ordered out pizza online for dinner and had it delivered. We got a large pizza with hand tossed crust, pepperoni, ham, pineapple, banana peppers and mozzarella cheese.
To order online you must first go to Dominos.com, of course. On the top you will find …
Stouffer’s Turkey Tetrazzini
Stouffer’s Turkey Tetrazzini is not quite as good as the tuna noodle casserole that I really enjoy, but I still like to purchase this meal every so often. I simply do not like turkey quite as much as I like some other things, but when I do have a …
Nestle Betty Condensed Milk
One of the food items which my family will buy constantly is “Nestle Betty Condensed Milk.” This is because not only is it affordable, but it tends to be convenient in many ways.
One of the reasons is because it comes in a tin. Therefore it tends to last …
Blue Bunny Original Ice Cream Orange Dream
This is a fairly refreshing and sharp might I add variety of ice cream! Blue Bunny Original Ice Cream Orange Dream offers both vanilla and orange flavors to create a double flavor that is enjoyable. Both the vanilla and orange flavors are represented well, although I must say that …
Oscar Mayer Cheese Hotdogs
Oscar Mayer Cheese Hotdogs are a little costly, but they are very good. I don’t know how it is done, but each hotdog is filled with thick cheese sauce that comes out when you bite into it. The mix of hotdog and melted cheese tastes great; there is just …
Voiello Pasta
I really like this pasta because it tastes like one of those traditionally made pastas that our grandmas were making. It seems to be covered with flour and it tastes great.
Voiello is an italian trademark and I think that if someone honosw how to make pasta thats italian people …
Kroger Toasted Oats
Kroger Toasted Oats cereal is based off of the General Mills Cheerios product. It is, however, superior to the General Mills cereal, I think. Much like how the Kroger’s version of the Honey Nut Cheerios is crunchier than the General Mills version, the Kroger version of Cheerios is crunchier …
Matador Beef Jerky
Product Description: Bag of barbecue flavored beef jerky. I found it at one of our local grocery stores this morning for $4.99.
What I liked about this product: Well, for one, I like the fact the jerky is much softer than most other brands. I usually end up buying jerky …
POMEGRANAT JUICE
I am very aware of the differences between pure juices and juices that have additives, colorings, preservatives, etc.. I truly enjoy drinking the pure juices, as they are so much healthier to drink, and so much more cost effective, as I am not paying for ‘junk’ I don’t want …
Century Tuna Flakes
Century Tuna has already come up with tuna meals in can along with its original tuna flakes in oil. They have flavored tuna flakes like Tuna Mechado, Tuna Afritada, tuna Barbeque flavors. They also have improved tuna flakes in oil, as they have now hot and spicy tuna flakes …
Betty Crocker - Chocolate Chocolate Chip Muffins
Betty Crocker - Chocolate Chocolate Chip Muffins really do deserve to have the word “chocolate” used twice in its product name! These chocolate chocolate chip muffins are quite rich in chocolate flavor, whether you are biting into the muffin or one of the many chocolate chips! There is chocolate …
Terra Sweets & Carrots
Terra Sweets & Carrots are potato chips, although they certainly represent something very different from the typical potato chip. For one thing, these chips somehow manage to hold a full and compete serving of vegetables. Now I am skeptical, especially since potato chips in general are, well, a junk …
Arctic Zero Salted Caramel Fit Frozen Dessert
When I first came to America, first thing I noticed in the grocery store was the number of different types of reduced calorie foods. Also most of them used natural sugar substitutes, creating healthier versions of popular junk foods. Low calorie ice-cream seems to be the most popular choice and …
Woolworths Black Forest Chocolate Cake
Now I have always loved chocolate cake and it is something I indulge in on occasions other than mine, or someone else’s birthday.
Any chocolate cake tastes really good but I never knew something superior actually existed on a whole new level. On my aunt’s birthday, three days after mine, …
Mehari’s cigars
One of the fields the Dutch have had a lead in for centuries is in tobacco products. I went to a school founded on the fortune made by a man who went to Holland to work in that business and who invested his riches in a school he founded …
Werther’s Original Caramel Chocolate Milk
I was a bit surprised by Werther’s Original Caramel Chocolate Milk, but I think that was probably my own fault. I was in a hurry when I saw a package of these on sale at the grocery store and just gave it a cursory look before tossing it …
Tasty Bite Good Korma Simmer Sauce
I am a fan of Tasty Bite, so I picked up a package of their new simmer sauces to try out. I was surprised to find it at my local WinCo Foods, but glad because it was very inexpensive there, just a little over a dollar.
This one, Tasty …
Tang Juices and Iced Teas
Tang no has a new taste. They used to only offer powdered fruit drinks. Now they have more than juices, they also have iced teas, and flavored iced teas like strawberry or apple iced teas or the red iced tea. They are not the original to have flavored ice …
Minute Maid Pulpy Orange
7 eleven once again has offers of free juice drinks when you buy a sandwich product. They always have these things to attract more people to them to buy their products. Well, this time, I got a Minute Maid Pulpy orange for free when I bought a tuna sandwich. …
Selecta Gold Series Ice Cream: Vanilla Almond
When I saw the commercial for this ice cream flavor, it looked like a perfect combination for me. I like vanilla and I like almonds. However, I reserved my judgment until I got to taste this one as I am not too keen about the caramel. Although, it said …
Banquet: Homestyle Bakes: Country Chicken, Mashed Potatoes and Biscuits
I decided to try this Banquet: Homestyle Bakes: Country Chicken, Mashed Potatoes and Biscuits Meal kit after trying the other kits from the Banquet Homestyle Bakes. I liked those pretty well considering I was short on time and wanted something easy to make for dinner. With this kit, it …
Trident White Cinnamon Tingle Gum
Cadbury Adams USA LLC offers a line of Trident White Gum that is marketed as a way to whiten your teeth by chewing the gum. The package says that it is “Clinically shown to whiten teeth”. I’ve never liked the taste of their peppermint flavored gum so I decided …
Auntie Anne’s Sour Cream and Onion Pretzel
As an avid snack indulger, I enjoy the treat of a fine soft pretzel any time, any day. So when I happened upon Auntie Anne’s I decided to take advantage of my snack craving and give in to my stomach. At the time, they were running a deal: half …
Multi Grain cheerios
The other day I was at my friends house and I spent the night so when morning came around I was pretty hungry for breakfast. There wasn’t really anything good to eat. I didn’t want any pop tarts that were high in sugar and there wasn’t much good …
C-Lium Fibre
Two years ago I had constipation problems that made me try many kinds of local as well as imported brands of tea to help digestion and ease constipation. Some worked for me while others were not so effective. There were times that I’d crash on vegetables and fruits just …
Purefoods Tender Juicy Cheesedog
Grocery shopping is one of the chores that most mommies dutifully does for their families. As a mom myself I shop for food that I know my kids would love. Seeing them happily fasting over food that I thoughtfully bought for them makes me feel fulfilled as a smart …
Great Value Homestyle Waffles
Great Value Homestyle Waffles are one of my favorite breakfasts. They are tasty and quick to make. All I have to do is to stick a couple of them in the toaster, and when they are done serve them on a plate with some maple syrup added.
Each box contains …

I am always trying to eat healthier, but getting my family to eat healthier is like an act of Congress. One food item I can always depend on as a healthy yet filling snack is peanuts. My entire family loves them, they are healthy, and they are …
Great Value Roasted Garlic Instant Mashed Potatoes
I have already reviewed here Idahoan roasted garlic instant mashed potatoes, of which I am a big fan. Recently, I noticed a Great Value version of this same product; it was a bit cheaper, and I decided to try it.
A 7.6 oz box contains 2 pouches, each one makes …
Kraft Macaroni and Cheese
Here I’m talking about good old in the box boil it and make it Kraft Mac and Cheese. There really isn’t any other kind — don’t even talk to me about the microwaveable kind, which is really a bit nasty if you ask me. This original macaroni and …
