Millville Honey Nut Crispy Oats Cereal
“Millville Honey Nut Crispy Oats Cereal” is a cereal that I purchased at Aldi as a cheaper alternative to “General Mills Honey Nut Cheerios”. At Aldi, for a 12.25 ounce box, I paid approximately $1.49. It’s a pretty good value compared to what the stores want for the national, …
Wrigley’s Juicy Fruit Strappleberry Chewing Gum
I should probably not watch television as much as I do because one is never sure what they will learn. I stumbled across a program about how chewing gum is made and was educated in the fact that the gum base is a mixture of rubber and plastic, …
Yogi Tea Healing Formula Detox
My family loves drinking tea, it’s not because we’re English, but because it relaxes us.. My brothers prefer coffee but my mom and I are fans of every kind of herbal tea. But after sipping accidentally from my tea cup instead of his coffee cup, my younger brother has …
Post Raisin Bran Cereal
I’ve been eating Post Raisin Bran Cereal for thirty years! My family eats it now too. This cereal is certainly a staple in our family, as it was in my family when I was growing up. They put lots of big juicy raisins in the box …
Hostess Fruit Pies - Apple
I find these Hostess Fruit Pies - Apple variety to be a little on the dull side, both inside and out. The crust is pretty bland and boring while apple inside tastes as if the flavor is not quite real. The apple flavor does not come across as being …

Crystal Light is a line of powdered drink mixes primarily marketed towards women due to its low-calorie content and the benefits associated with increased water consumption towards weight loss. There are a variety of flavors available, from orange juice to pomegranate, with many fruit blends and tea drinks …
Entenmann’s 8 Crumb Donuts
I was moderately impressed with Entenmann’s 8 Crumb Donuts. This is essentially a coffee cake made into a donut. The donut is on the crunchy side and features cinnamon baked into the crumb topping. This is a unique donut creation that I have not seen before. I personally feel …
Honor Cigarretts
Last week I went into our local stop n go convenience store to purchase some cigarettes. They did not have the brand I normally purchase. I decided to try a new product called Honor, that I spotted because of it’s cheap price. Once home I gave them to my …

Jell-o Gelatin - Peach
Jell-o Gelatin - Peach variety is one that I only have every so often. I am not much of a peach eater, but I do have one from time to time. I am the same way with this gelatin, I simply have it from time to time. The peach …
Gardenia Wheat Bread
Bread is always part of breakfast. Of course, when there is extraordinary bread for sure there is an amazing breakfast. It only happens when my mother serve Gardenia Wheat Bread. For five years, we are eating breakfast with Gardenia and it never fails to give us high quality bread …
Stouffer’s Corner Bistro Three Meat Sicilian Flatbread
Stouffer’s Corner Bistro Three Meat Sicilian Flatbread is a meal that I would only label as average, more or less. In some ways, this meal is relatively bland but in other ways, I find it to be somewhat tasty. For one thing, the sausage used here is pretty tasteless, …
Swanson Certified Organic Chicken Broth
Swanson is one of those staple brands that I often times search for when browsing in the grocery store. Whenever I want to skip a step or two in making homemade dishes, Swanson is my goto brand. It effectively makes cooking a breeze.
Swanson has introduced into their line of …
Bendicks Bittermints Chocolate Mints
Bendicks Bittermints are very high quality and I think these are a real luxury. These are a firm, mint fondant which have a blast of mintiness to them that reminds me of Trebor Extra Strong Mints when it comes to the flavour, but the mintiness is less harsh. …
King’s Raspberry Ripple Ice Cream
I think King’s Raspberry Ripple Ice Cream lacks the sweet, sour taste of raspberry. It seems like a normal vanilla ice cream with some red-colored sauce. The sauce is sweet, of course, but the sweetness does not seem to come from the raspberry. The sweetness seems very …
Maruchan Oriental Flavor Ramen Noodle Soup
Ramen noodle soup is not just for starving college kids. My college days are long behind me, but I still enjoy a flavorful bowl of ramen noodle soup. Maruchan is my favorite brand of ramen noodle soup and, until recently, I would …
International Delight Liquid Coffee Creamer
When I do choose to drink coffee, I like to experiment with a variety of flavored coffee creamers. Usually I purchase powdered coffee creamers, but I decided try International Delight Hazelnut Liquid Coffee Creamer in Hazelnut flavor during a recent trip to the grocery store.
The flavor of International …
Morrisons Delicatessen Bowlands Cheese
I cannot think of any cheese I do not really like if I am in the mood for it, so I like to try ones that are a bit different so I tried this Bowlands Cheese from Morrisons own Delicatessen brand. This is a very sweet cheese that, …
M&M’s Plain Chocolate
This brand has been around for ages. I think I started eating M&M’s when I was still a little kid. For some reason, this has always been one of my favorite chocolate pieces. More so than Toblerone, kisses and such. (Although I would have to say that the plain …
Fantastic Delites, Sweet Chilli and Sour Cream
I had to rush out and buy this packet of Fantastic Delites today when I went grocery shopping. I first tried these deliecious rice snacks when I hired the movie Juno the other night from Blockbuster. They had a special promotion hire the movie and receive a free packet …
Raley’s Fresh Deli Homestyle Meatloaf
Recently, I tried something new from the Deli department. This was an already prepared item — Raley’s Fresh Deli Homestyle Meatloaf — so it comes ready to cook in a plastic tray. It was a 1 pound, two ounce serving, so it’s quite a lot. It’s …
Mrs. Butterworth’s: Sugar Free Syrup
Mrs. Butterworth’s: Sugar Free Syrup is a syrup that I tried once and I only tried once because at the time I was visiting with my uncle for breakfast and it was the only syrup that he had, so I tried just a little bit of it on the …
Peanut Delight Natural Creamy Peanut Butter Spread
There are a lot of different flavors and varieties out there of peanut butter, and even saying that might be an understatement! Sometimes, too many choices can make making an actual choice quite hard and, sometimes, if you’re just looking for something simple, it can get lost among all …
Figaro: Hickory Liquid smoke and barbecue marinade
So, I was introduced to this product by my older sister, who came over to dinner. She bought over this little bottle called Figaro: Hickory Liquid smoke and barbecue. I had never previously heard of such of thing as ’smoke’ in a bottle. I thought who ever made this …
Priya pickles
The pickles give the great taste for meals. It is really very boring for the Indians particularly to have the meals without any pickle along with the meals. And when we talk about the pickles we must also talk about the priya pickles. Because the taste …
Tesco Chocolate birthday cake
I bought Tesco chocolate cake during the birthday party of my child. I don’t really have much time to prepare or make a cake so I decided to just buy something from Tesco supermarket instead. This chocolate birthday cake looks good to me and they even put …
Ronzoni Bistro Rotini with Tomato and Basil
Ronzoni Bistro Rotini with Tomato and Basil comes in an eight ounce package and retails for one dollar. It can be found in most grocery stores, although I wish that I hadn’t found it considering how unpleasant the meal was to the taste. I had this pasta with a …
KRAFT Pizza
I don’t like thin crust pizzaz, so when I saw something called Naturally Rising Pizza at our grocery store, I immediately wanted to check it out. “Naturally Rising” promised good, soft, “bready” crust. It is a KRAFT product, and there were several varieties of it available. The one I …
San Souci Special Roasted Peanuts
There is this 82 year old man in San Souci, NC that makes wonderful roasted peanuts. He has been roasting them and salting them for years and years. Finally the year before last he decided to sell some of them and called …
Starbucks’ Venti Mocha Frappucino
When I was working the night shift, I would normally get me a cheeseburger from the nearest McDonald’s restaurant in the corner and add a huge cup of Venti Mocha Frapuccino on the side. I know this may seem weird but I like to pair coffee with anything. Any …
Michelina’s Spaghetti Marinara
Unfortunately, there’s no difference in taste when it comes to the spaghetti sauce used for Michelina’s Spaghetti Marinara and Michelina’s Spaghetti with Meat Sauce. In the cases of both frozen pasta meals, the spaghetti sauce is lacking in flavor. It just doesn’t stand out in any meaningful or significant …
Santitas White Corn Tortilla Chips
Santitas White Corn Tortilla Chips make me wish that I would be more daring when I shop for chips at the store. My sister loves tortilla chips and she’s always buying them and then bringing me the remnants. Recently, she brought over a bag of leftovers from …
Yum Yum All Dressed Chips
Yum Yum All Dressed Chips might be “yum yum” for some, but I did not find myself saying or thinking “yum yum” when I first tried this potato chips! Quite the opposite, really! What bothers me the most about these chips is the barbecue flavoring. The barbecue flavoring was …
International Delight French Vanilla Coffee Creamer
I always use milk or cream in my coffee, just a little bit to whiten it up. My favorite creamer flavor is vanilla, and one of the brands I buy is International Delight French Vanilla Coffee Creamer. It is sold in two sizes, a 32 fl.oz bottle and a …
Minute Maid Premium Premium Lemon Juice
I am not a lemon person although I know that it is one of the good sources of vitamin C. I drink calamansi juice whenever I feel like getting sick and it works. However in my country, lemon is not always available typically. We rely more on calamansi (family …
Sun-Rype Apple Vanilla Pear juice
I drink a lot of juice. I’ve tried lots of different kinds, but one I generally like the best is the Sun-Rype Apple Vanilla Pear juice. It’s light, refreshing, and the taste is pretty good.
The significant part is the taste. It sort of like apple juice but with a …
Morrisons Quick & Easy Creamy Cheese Pasta & Sauce
If I had a pound for every pasta and cheese sauce meal I have had I would be very rich indeed. I liked it even before I turned vegetarian but nowadays I do appreciate the protein content of this meal. So I have tried many pasta and …
McDonald’s restaurant (UBC location)
This particular McDonald’s restaurant is almost always busy, probably because of its location on a university campus. Despite this, or perhaps because of it, it’s still a fairly clean location. (I’ve been in some McDonald’s restaurants that were not). So it’s your standard bright and cheerful McDonald’s (although it …
Central Market Apple & Gorgonzola Wood Fired Italian Pizza
Central Market Apple & Gorgonzola Wood Fired Pizza is an all natural pizza with chunks of apple and a blend of cheeses. The box is very attractive with a picture of the Apple & Gorgonzola pizza cooked and ready to eat. I bought this pizza thinking that it was …
Jimmy Dean Griddle Sandwiches
Not long after McDonald’s introduced their McGriddles breakfast sandwiches, I tried one - and have been hooked ever since. The McGriddle is a fast, convenient breakfast food that I can buy via the drive-thru window on my way to school every morning. And that food tastes so, so good. …
Diet Sobe
As many other self-conscious females, I worry excessively about my weight and therefore do my best to drink only water or the occasional diet beverage. So I was more than a little thrilled when I discovered a bottle of Sobe that was DIET, just up my alley. …
Special K Honey and Granola
Special K is a deliciously healthy cereal that I have enjoyed time and time again. Recently I have tried their newest flavor of Honey and Granola and I was not disappointed in the least. This flavor really sets the bar now for the other flavors of Special K, because …
Hostess Powdered Donettes
I really have two favorite kinds of donuts — glazed and powdered. I suppose I’m overly loyal to what I grew up with and am a bit of a finicky eater (that’s an understatement, I’m certain), but give me a good glazed donut or a good powdered one, …
Burger King Whopper with Cheese from Burger King
I love the Burger King Whopper with Cheese. My first memory of the Burger King Whopper with Cheese when I was about seven years old. My mother brought Burger King home one Saturday evening and I even remember that my uncle was over for a visit too. …
Wrigley’s Orbit Complete Sugar Free Chewing Gum
I like to have some gum on me at all times as not only is it good for freshening my post-cigarette breath but it helps to clean my teeth. Gum acts like a mini mouthwash as it gets your saliva flowing and dislodges bits of food remaining after …
Pampa Apple Juice Boxes
I was in the mood for some apple juice this morning. Since I don’t have a way to refrigerate something like that at work, I had to buy juice boxes.
I hate buying most brands because they are always geared toward kids and you don’t get enough juice for your …
Flat Iron Steak
I know this will seem like an odd review but I had heard flat iron steak was a tender piece of cheaper meat. Well it isn’t really that much cheaper it is usually within a dollar a ound of ribeye steak, but it is way more tender and has …
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 …
