Lu Pim’s Jaffa cakes
I really like Jaffa cakes and I like them fresh soft and hydrated. Well maybe the word hydrated aren’t the best one but what I want to say is that sometimes these Jaffa cakes can be very dry and not very tasty. So I don’t like to experiment with …
Townhouse Flipsides Pretzel Crackers
My mother, knowing that we are having a hard time making ends meet, has been buying us groceries from time to time. She buys us things that she absolutely knows we like and then throws in some surprises to let us check out. Even though she does …
Chunky Vegetable Beef Stew
Typically, if I’m looking for a quick lunch, I can’t go wrong with Chunky Soup. But, after trying their Vegetable Beef Stew, I have to say I don’t intend on buying that variety again.
Flavor wise, it was OK. It was a bit too salty for my tastes but it …
Lia Panettone
I stumbled across a couple of cases of this at the local Grocery Outlet for $1.99, and thought “Well, it’s a risk, but I miss the panettone I could get in Italy when we were there.” I’ve been back for three of them since. Panettone is an …
Heinz Home-style Gravy
We made mashed potatoes last night and, because we didn’t want to eat them plain, we decided to pick up some gravy to go with them.
The store I went to was a convenience store and they only had one brand to choose from; Heinz Home-style Gravy. So, I ended …
Red and White Complete Pancake Mix
If you ever run across this brand of pancake mix in your local discount grocery, don’t be afraid to buy it. It’s great!! The pancakes come out light and fluffy and there are just so many ways you can change them up to keep from having the …
Lunch Buddies Strawberry Applesauce Cups
The Lunch Buddies Strawberry Applesauce Cups come in a six pack and the cups themselves are four ounces. ALDI Food Market stores carry this product for one dollar and twenty-nine cents. The blending of strawberry and apple flavoring works, in my opinion, because neither flavor completely dominates the other. …
Gilbey’s Premium Strength with Green Tea Extract
My boyfriend excitedly told me that there was a new drink released by Gilbey’s that doesn’t taste like beer, and he thinks I should try it, since he knows really well that I hate beers. He described the bottle to me, and when I went to the Liquor store …
Fruit Pastilles
Fruit Pastilles, these were one of my favourite sweets when I was younger, they were so moorish that I could eat a pack in minutes, but I hadn’t had them in ages before a few days ago. To be fair as well, maybe it’s because they are not chocolate, …
Millville Nutrizone All-Natural Nutrition Bars - Chocolate Peanut Butter
The Millville Nutrizone All-Natural Nutrition Bars - Chocolate Peanut Butter retail for three dollars and ninety-nine cents at ALDI Food Market stores. Five bars come in a box and the bars are fairly long and thick. The bars are loaded with vitamins, minerals, protein and have antioxidants, too. Eating …
Omaha Steaks Stuffed Sole with Scallops & Crabmeat
Omaha Steaks stuffed sole with scallops and crab meat is an excellent meal for those who enjoy a good fish dinner. I make it for my husband and me once every few weeks. It’s simple to make and taste delicious. There are a few pointers I’ve …
Cole’s Pizzasticks
Tired of the same frozen pizzas that I have been eating for years, I searched my grocer’s freezer aisle for something new to try. What I found (and I’m so glad I did!) was a box of Cole’s Pizzasticks.
I followed the Conventional Oven heating instructions …
Thorntons Winter Crumble chocolate bar
The Winter Crumble chocolate bar is one of several limited edition bars produced by the British chocolate makers Thorntons for the winter holiday season this year (ie 2009-2010).
It is described on the wrapper as having a ‘winter fruit mousse centre’, and the fruits included are blackcurrants and blackberries. These …
Bingo potato chips
I always love munching. I love the food and I always keep some kind of food in my bag. But now I am going to talk about the Bingo potato chips, which I tried recently. These chips are made using very fine quality potatoes. These …
No Name Ham and Cheese Stuffed Chicken
You can get different kinds of No Name Stuffed Chicken, but we prefer the Ham and Cheese kind in our house. They are delicious! They are pieces of breaded chicken, with a slice of ham and cheese just beneath the bread.
They are a great deal, too. We buy a …
Starbucks Pumpkin Spice & Eggnog Lattes
The Pumpkin Spice and Eggnog Lattes are definitely the best seasonal coffees around. I love anything pumpkin flavored and thus had to try their pumpkin latte. It smells just like pumpkin pie and tastes just like pumpkin pie as well. There’s no need to add any …
Kentucky Fried Chicken Double Down Sandwich
For supper tonight I decided to try the new KFC Double Down Sandwich. It was surprisingly pretty good! I’m not a big bread eater , so I didn’t miss that part of it at all.
The double down is a very unique sandwich. It is 2 crispy boneless chicken filets …
Clara Ole Thousand Island Dressing
I love eating fish because it does not have fats and it has health benefits. Salmon can prevent wrinkles and takes care of the heart like no other. But in cooking it, avoid deep frying any food. This would save you from absorbing oil in your system. I usually …
Jack-N-the-Box French Fries
Jack-n-the-box fries are pretty disappointing because I expected them to taste a lot better. Jack-n-the-box has a lot of really great offerings, which is why I stop by the fast food place whenever I get the chance, which isn’t that often. I love a lot of their different foods, …
Blue Bunny Champ! Hot Fudge Brownie Sundae Ice Cream Cones
I really enjoyed this Blue Bunny Champ! Hot Fudge Brownie Sundae Ice Cream Cones. I liked it a lot because of a couple of reasons: the vanilla ice cream part of this cone was pretty rich and delicious. Although I have had better vanilla ice cream, I must say …
Eve Tomato Ketchup
I’m not one of those persons who would like or buy every single brand of ketchup, especially some of the cheaper ones since I’ve noticed that some of the cheaper ones taste a bit “different” and at times even look a bit different from the other brands of …
Mother dairies lick lolies
Mother dairies lick lolies is the name of the ice candies. It comes in many flavors and many shapes. The banana, apple, pineapple and mango many such flavors are very tasty. These ice candies are only available in the ice cream parlors. The cost of …
Cadbury 3 in 1 Hot Cocoa Mix
Even though it is summer I find that I still like to have hot cocoa from time to time. There is just something about a cup of hot cocoa that seems to make me feel happier. I have tried several brands and some I liked and other …
Annies Homegrown Bunny Chocolate Grahams
I was looking for a natural whole grain snack, came across the Annies Homegrown Bunny Chocolate Grahams, and picked up a box. The box of chocolate bunny grahams was reasonably priced and contained 7.5 ounces of whole grain chocolate snack sized cookie bunnies inside the box, which was a …
Thomas’ English Muffins
I love to eat Thomas’ English Muffins. These things are just delightful. I love to eat every nook and cranny with butter on top. The great thing about these muffins is you can eat them many different ways.
I like to eat mine toasted with butter on top. I also …
Yuban Coffee
Yuban Coffee is very good. I must say I really love this coffee. I like to drink it on weekends. I really like the rich sweet flavor of this coffee, and I really do like to drink it everyday. Yuban Coffee is a coffee that I trust. I know …
Great Value Creamy Peanut Butter
A very good value when it comes to purchasing food is Great Value Creamy Peanut Butter. I’ve had several different brands of peanut butter in the past. In my opinion there hasn’t been to much difference in terms of taste between the major brand labels. Therefore, I …
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 …
WaWa Lemon Iced Tea is THE BEST Iced Tea on the Market!
If you have never tried Wawa’s Lemon Iced Tea you’re really missing out!
I’ve been a huge Iced Tea fan my whole life, but the big named Iced Tea makers have alwways been a disapointment to me.
I won’t name any names here, but I will say that if you try …
Funchum Juice Drink
Widely regarded as the nations favorite juice drink, Funchum is a class on its own when it comes to the taste of their products. It has a different feel to its drink than with other brands which distinguished them more differently than your regular brand. It quickly relieves me …
Borden American Cheese Slices
We go through a lot of American Cheese slices in our house. They are one of the few things our daughter will eat and we use them for everything from sandwiches to scrambled eggs.
Normally, we try to buy the cheaper brands of cheese in an effort to save money. …
Full Circle Organic Microwave Popcorn
While grocery shopping last week, I had the urge for some popcorn and noticed Full Circle microwave popcorn was on sale. It’s organic, which I’ve never had before. I was hesitant, but decided to take the plunge since it was less than my regular brand.
I purchased the …
Hostess Limited Edition Pumpkin Spice Twinkies
While a vast majority of people in America would likely be able to identify what a Twinkie is, I suspect quite a few of these people would be surprised to learn that the Twinkie is fast approaching its one-hundred year milestone. In just fifteen years from now, the Twinkie …
Wilson’s Cherry Tomatoes
I like making salads to go with dinner but it’s hard to find quality tomatoes around here; unless you pay a fortune at the farmer’s market.
That’s why I was pleasantly surprised by the Wilson’s brand of Cherry Tomatoes I bought the other day.
My biggest problem with tomatoes is they …
Tesco Value Strawberry Flavour Whip
I am impressed with this Strawberry Flavour Whip from the Tesco Value range and it only costs a puny six pence for a 38g sachet. I had been craving some Angel Delight but when shopping in Tesco with a friend, she persuaded me to try this ridiculously cheap …
Coca Cola Zero
Maybe all of you already know this product. Yup the zero sugar of the great coca cola taste. But that just the tag of the product, and it’s not all right for me. I always love to drink coca cola when i’m eating outside, especially when i eat fast …
Holiday Luncheon Meat 340g/12oz
Holiday luncheon meat is your best friend in these tough times. It packs a lot of meat for just Canadian $1.25. I usually buy four or five of this because I’ll never know when I’ll need it. For example, if you didn’t have time to shop for …
Hot Pockets
I see them in the frozen section of the grocery store all the time. I have tried them and while they were not bad, I did not want to try another one, ever. My family members love them. What am I talking about? Hot Pockets! When you think about …
Gatorade Propel Water
I am not a big fan of most products that Gatorade makes, but I do really enjoy Propel Water. It is a fitness drink that actually has a sweet, good taste with few calories (25 in a 16 oz. bottle). My favorite kind is the peach kind …
Lady fingers Savoiari
From since I can remember my mother was always buying this biscuits for me and my sister when we were little and that’s why I call them baby cookies although I don’t actually know it they are really for babies of if my mother was just buying them to …
Kellogg’s Crispix Cereal
Kellogg’s Crispix cereal used to be one of my favorite cereals. I don’t eat much cereal anymore. I am not really a breakfast person, like I used to be when I was younger. But Crispix has a lot going for it. It is very similar in style to the …
Purified Tap Water - Water filters
Lots of things are said about bottled water these days, mostly negative. Many water companies mislead consumers by using words like “artesian” and natural on their labels. Check out the sources of these waters and often you will find out that there water comes from more than …
Brunswick Flaked Tuna With Lemon and Pepper
I love trying new foods unlike a lot of other people, especially since I find that I tend to get bored very easily. I guess the other part of it is that I feel like the world is my oyster, and I like to try most things at least …
Nescafe Classic
I like dringking nescafe coffee instant and the vendo made. i am a coffee lover and i appreciate the fact that nescafe is one of the best coffee brands in the industry. i love having a cup of nescafe at work via the vending machine and at home i …
Tofutti Cuties’
Tofutti Cuties’ are totally terrible! What a horrid creation this is. I have no idea what the company used in place of vanilla and chocolate, but boy oh boy do the replacements totally not work at all! The stuff looks like chocolate and looks like vanilla, but the stuff …
Powerade: Sour Melon
Powerade: Sour Melon is one of the newer flavors of the powerade family. I purchased this beverage at the family dollar store for a $1.08. I got the entire thirty-two ounce ounce size chilled. The liquid itself is a neon green, not glow in the dark but a bit …
Jollibee Jolly Hotdog Combo Meal
Jollibee, one of the most successful fast food chains in the Philippines today, offers its Jolly Hotdog Combo Meal, which consists of a regular drink, a Jolly Hotdog and regular French Fries. This combination meal is often what I buy whenever I get to eat in this fast food …
Neopolitan Ice Cream
Imagine hiking along a section of the Appalachian trail on a blistery hot summer day. You stop by a cool mountain stream and sit down on a rock to pull out some Neapolitan ice cream for a snack. Now thanks to Mountain House that is possible. They have created …
Old London Bagel Spicy Cheddar Chips
The Old London Bagel Spicy Cheddar Chips disappointed me quite a bit. I did not find these chips to be particularly spicy or rich with cheddar. I actually felt that these bagel chips were really quite bland and unimpressive. There was not a hint of spiciness in these bagel …
