Sobe Life Water
Sobe Life Water is a big joke as far as I’m concerned. I mean, the bottle is pretty, and the advertisements are appealing, but come on! It is an insult to our intelligence to pay that much money for water that tastes like it has some strange …

Papa Murphy’s Vegetarian Pizza
While I like getting my pizzas from Papa Murphy’s here in Beaver Dam, I have to say I’m not a huge fan of their vegetarian pizza.
Maybe it’s the fact I usually prefer to have some meat on pizzas; whether it’s sausage or pepperoni. And, of course, the vegetarian pizza …
Stouffer’s Precooked dinners
I often have no much time to cook or even go out to eat, so I’ ve tried a lot of pre-cooked products. Stouffer’s is by far the best. Seriously, no exaggeration! The best thing about them that I love is they do not taste like they are …
Van’s Natural Foods 8 Whole Grains Waffles
I didn’t care too much for these waffles. I decided to give them a try because of the heart-healthy whole grains being a major ingredient in these waffles, but what bothered me about them is they tasted saltier than the waffles I’m used to, namely the Kroger Multigrain Waffles. …

Subway’s New Chicken Salad sub
I saw a television ad for Subway’s new chicken salad sub and decided to give it a try at my local Subway, since it was one of their $5 footlong specials. I liked the fact that it was one of their healthy options and I love chicken salad made …
Ferrero Rocher hazelnut chocolate
Ferrero Rocher hazelnut chocolate was my choice of candy for conducting an inexpensive treat. This is a perfect economic candy which is high in quality and rich in its contents. Ferrero Rocher is looking great in its round shape and small pieces of nuts embedded in dark chocolate. And …
Snapps Creamy Golden Mushroom Bites
Snapps creamy golden mushroom bites are a snack/appetizer I purchased at super Wal-Mart because it was on sale. I wasn’t familiar with the brand, however, I do like a good mushroom bite. This product was one of two Snapps appetizers/snacks that I purchased.
I’m not going to lie, the mushroom …
Trader Joes Ice Cream Bon Bons
A few months ago, my husband picked these Trader Joes Ice Cream Bonbons up for me because he knew I liked ice cream and chocolate. I thought it was a sweet idea, but didn’t think too much of it and just put them in the freezer for later.
Now …

McDonald’s McGriddle (Sausage, Egg & Cheese)
The McDonald’s McGriddle is, quite simply, incredibly delicious. It is perhaps one of the most tasty and satisfying things that I can have for breakfast. Of course, I cannot have it as often as I would really, really like to because the calorie count of just one McGriddle is …
Del Monte Ketchup
I always love eating with ketchup to go with my meal especially if the meal is fried or dry. Ketchups always solve the problem and it makes the meal wonderfully tasty. I have read from somewhere that ketchups started as a medicine taken in the early years and it …
Lean Cuisine Philly-Style Steak and Cheese Panini
I couldn’t resist trying this frozen panini when I saw it in the supermarket. I’ve never had an actual Philly cheese steak, but I’ve always wanted to try one, and I thought this might be the closest I could come for a while.
This panini takes steak and combines …
Iced vanilla latte mcdonalds
I am a frequent consumer on coffee and so when Mcdonalds came out with their new and improved iced coffee I decided that I would give the coffee a try since I like many of the other Mcdonalds things they offer. Anyhow, the coffee cost $2.30 for the large …
Stouffer’s Chicken Broccoli Cheddar Stromboli

Ben and Jerry’s Mint Chocolate Cookie One Pint

Like most people, I adore chocolates. I especially like them with almonds. I read about an allegedly delicious concoction in a magazine that is baked and sold exclusively by The Classic Confections. They started out as a home business making delicious desserts with chocolate cake as their bestseller. Eventually …

McVitie’s Chocolate Digestives are a national treasure which has lasted since I was a boy, if not before. When I was recently in Spain, I bought the local make of chocolate biscuits. I thought I had bought something that would be a delight to the taste-buds and which would …
‘The Big Kahuna’ Australian Red Wine

Happy Farms Deluxe American Cheese Slices
Happy Farms Deluxe American Cheese Slices retails for three dollars and thirty cents for twenty-four slices. It’s a good cheese that I have no complaints towards, but it’s a cheese that I won’t be purchasing again simply because I can get the same exact cheese and the same number …

Chick-fil-A Cafe Blend Coffee
The Cafe Blend Coffee served at Chick-fil-A comes in three flavors: Coffeehouse Light, Bistro Dark and Expressly Decaf. The coffee served at this fast food restaurant seems to be a little stronger and more flavorful than that served at Burger King and Whataburger, although it is similar to McDonald’s …
McDonald’s Sausage McMuffin Value Meal
I haven’t been a big fan of McDonald’s for many years. It’s not really because of the chain itself, but of a local owner of two nearby McDonald’s and who in my opinion had some unfair business practices. I guess you could say I’ve had a private …
Kroger Mild Picante Sauce
When shopping for salsa, I often find that it is more economical to go for the store brand than the national brands. Usually the national brands cost in the area of $2.50 per 16-ounce jar, whereas the store brands are often in the area of $2.00. So to me …
Entenmann’s Little Bites Brownies
I do not find Entenmann’s Little Bites Brownies to be all that good at all. While there is most definitely a chocolate flavor baked into the brownies, there is not nearly enough to create a truly delicious brownie treat. These brownies could also be a little more moist than …

I discovered hipp organic formular milk whislt shopping in the supermarket and what attracted me was the price. It was over £2 cheaper than the leading brand formular milk I was currently buying. So the first thing I looked at was the ingredients and nutritional information. I was amazed …
Pokka Green Tea Jasmine
This is definitely one of my favorite drinks. I used to bought a whole carton of it and store them in my fridge but not anymore due to economical crisis.
Pokka’s tea drinks have also been 100% real brewed, so this is not an exceptional as well. Pokka green tea …
Jannis Pistachio Snack Bar
I enjoyed this pistachio bar from the Jannis brand, but really I think it would have been better just buying some whole pistachio nuts and I probably would have got more for my money. This snack bar cost me a very expensive £1.55 from Tesco supermarket and I …

Hot Pockets Side Shots Pkg of 4 Mini Cheeseburgers
My mom brought these home as an experiment to see if they would make good appetizers. I only got around to trying them yesterday. I admit, I didn’t look at the package real closely. I assumed these were mini cheeseburgers, aka sliders.
I followed the microwave directions to a tee, …
Nescafe Partners Blend Instant Coffee
Nescafe Partners Blend Instant Coffee is a decent instant coffee with a very smooth taste, but for me it just lacks in something. I am not sure if I am saying that it lacks in body or in strength, but for me, even if I put a really …

Looking for something to nibble while watching t.v., I happen to come across a can of nuts. I do not know who bought it, but it’s on top of our refrigerator so I easily grabbed it.
