The Co operative Hot Cross Buns
These are lovely Hot Cross Buns from The Co-operative’s own brand and I only paid 30 pence for them as they had been reduced as they were nearing their sell by date. That is one of the good things about the Co-op and you should always look out …

Berry Burst Ice Cream Oreos
Normally, I have been against the changes that have been made with the beloved Oreo cookie. But, there was no way I couldn’t try the new berry burst ice cream flavor Oreos. They were a refreshing change from the usual Oreo flavors that I haven’t enjoyed. It is a …
Our Family Chili
I decided to make chili dogs last night and, in the interest of not spending too much (since I didn’t get paid until today), I ended up buying a bargain brand can of chili; Our Family.
When I purchased this, I remembered buying it before. But, I couldn’t remember much …
Lindt (Lindor) chocolates
Lindt (aka Lindors) chocolates are premium irresistibly smooth Swiss chocolates.
Lindt chocolates are quite expensive, always around $5 or more for a 150g bag with about 10 or more in there. They are a big size, hard for a small mouth to fit. You might have to bite it in …

Kashi is a brand name that I have known to sell many health products ranging from cereals to nutrition bars to even meals that you microwave. I have not been disappointed by their products yet, and after trying their Dark Chocolate Coconut fruit and grain bar I am still …
Gorton’s Fish Sticks
I don’t eat fish sticks as much as I did when I was a kid, but when I do get a craving for them every now and then, I’ll buy a big bag of Gorton’s fish sticks.
The thing I like about the packaging of Gorton’s fish sticks is that …
Sainsbury’s Cornflakes
I generally eat cereal at breakfast time, rather than go to the time and trouble of preparing anything more complex such as a cooked meal, but all I really ask of that cereal is that it be reasonably well made and tasty. Sainsbury’s Cornflakes are not quite as nice …
Shiraz Wine (Trader Joe’s)
I really have no idea about where different wines come from. For years I would order Chardonnay, simply because I liked the light refreshing taste. Then I ventured out to explore red wines, like Chianti and merlot. But when I ran across the Shiraz wine …
White Pear Arbor Mist
I am not a big drinker, but when I do decide to indulge in something alcoholic, I look for something that is fruity and the taste of alcohol is very little. Arbor Mist has always been my go to drink for Sunday dinners with the family, or when I …
Nescafe Azera Barista Style Instant Coffee Range
I first decided to try the Azera coffee range when I became addicted to proper ground coffee but didn’t like the inconvenience of making it. I was never satisfied with the regular granules and found them harsh and bitter if I ever wanted to try them without milk.
Now this …

Quaker 100% Whole Grain Old Fashioned Oats
Oatmeal for breakfast is probably one of the best things the mankind has ever invented. I don’t really like savoury breakfast foods and the oatmeal is my favourite thing to eat, and not just for breakfast. That alone makes chosing the best oats a very important thing for me. But …
Country Crock Honey Butter
It’s sort of ironic that I use Country Crock honey butter because my butter of choice is Land O’ Lakes. I don’t put the honey butter in any meal I’m preparing, just on toasts and biscuits.
The thing I like about the Country Crock honey butter is that it …

Gorton’s Fish Sticks
I normally like Gorton’s Seafood products, which is why I take advantage of the coupons I have in my one Gorton’s Seafood calendar. However, I recently tried their fish sticks and have to say I was a bit disappointed with them.
There are some things I like about this brand. …
Safeway Select Bottled Water

Knorr Pasta Sides Chicken Broccoli
This Pasta Side had a lot of taste potential, but it unfortunately fell short due to the lack of broccoli. Oh there’s some broccoli in this Pasta Side, but really, the broccoli is easily overwhelmed due to the sauce that’s used. The sauce is thick and creamy and has …
Michelinas Lean Gourmet Sweet and Spicy Asian style Chicken
There are times were I can appreciate store bought frozen meals. Not all of them are horrid, and can be quite tasty. I usually take advantage and buy a fair share whenever my neighborhood grocery store is having a sale on a few of my favorite brands.

Lay’s Stax

Kroger Multigrain Waffles
I look forward to having these tasty and nutritious waffles for breakfast in the morning. Perhaps nutritious is too generous of a word, but the waffles are a good source of ten vitamins as well as nutrients and minerals as a result of the waffles being multigrain. Ten come …
Original Skittles (Red Wrapper)
They say that upon biting into just one, you can taste the rainbow. I can assure you, they are NOT telling a lie. Skittles are basically M&M’s that are fruity, I don’t think I need to explain what an M&M is.
I think these candies are so good, because you …

Iced vanilla latte mcdonalds

Fiber is essential to your diet everyday. It is important because it brushes away toxins, helps reduce bad cholesterol and keeps your bowel movement on a regular basis. The latter is one of the reasons why I am particular about fiber. Sometimes it is hard to find fiber supplement. …
Reese’s Puffs
When this cereal first appeared, it’s major advertising gimmick was that you were essentially eating peanut butter cups for breakfast. There’s some truth to this. The cereal is made with two kinds of puffs, some are made with Reese’s peanut butter and the others are made with Hershey’s …
Stouffer’s Chicken Lasagna
Stouffer’s Chicken Lasagna is not something that I will be purchasing a second time. I thought perhaps I might enjoy this unique combination of chicken and cheese since I do like both of those things, but ultimately, the combination of flavors simply did not do a whole lot for …
