Jack ‘n Jill Magic Cream Combo Peanut Butter cream Choco cracker
If you live in the Philippines you might be familiar with the magic cream sandwich crackers. I was just introduced to this product for only two months because I only know of the Magic flakes (soda crackers). So, two months ago my mom brought home this Sandwich cracker. She …
Fit & Active Reduced Sugar Fruits of the Forest Spread
I like this spread because it offers a blend of fruits, not just one. It’s not that easy surprisingly to find a spread that contains multiple fruits, but this one does, and I’m happy with it. In it, there’s supposed to be raspberries, cherries, black raspberries and red berries. …
Kellog’s Corn Flakes
We have cornflakes on alternate days in our breakfast. I used to have kellog’s cornflakes, primarily because of the fact, that I was not aware of any other brand, and the only ad on TV that I ever saw was of it and only it. Nut I always felt …
Gourmet Select Party Mix
This six ounce snack mix from the Dollar Tree is pretty bland. There are only three kinds of snacks to be found in a bag: garlic toast, pretzels and wheat snacks. There are no cheese snacks or sweet snacks, just basically salt and garlic snacks. The flavors thus don’t …
Cadbury’s Caramello
I love to snack on chocolates and chocolate and caramel is another inspired innovation in the confectionery world.
I wasn’t aware that Cadbury’s Caramello existed till a few years ago and now it is my favourite candy bar to eat when I want something extra sweet for my sweet tooth. …

Amy’s Enchiladas
It seems like I can always rely on Amy’s to make yummy packaged food. The Amy’s Enchiladas are no different. Just good and natural.
I love their enchiladas. They take 5 minutes in the microwave, but do not taste like a microwave food. They taste like …
Fresh Blend Simply Great Ready to Cook Idaho Potatoes
I one of those people who love cooking from scratch because it allows me to discover new recipes and ingredients, but I have my moments when I either don’t have time or I’m just too tired and I resort to buying prepackaged meals. I was in Publix doing some fill …
Sainsbury’s Basics Pasta Shapes Dried Penne Pasta
In recent years, I have had periods of unemployment when I have been so poor that I have been forced to sample the rock-bottom priced value goods available in supermarkets. Some items are not so bad actually, but these Pasta Shapes from the Sainsbury’s Basics brand, are not …
Great Value Pancake & Waffle Syrup
Great Value Pancake & Waffle Syrup is just as good as the brand name version, and it is considerably cheaper. The 24 fl. oz. plastic bottle I buy costs only $1.44. The dark brown syrup is made with 5% real maple syrup, according to the bottle. I use it …
Little Debbie Oatmeal Creme Pies
Little Debbie Oatmeal Creme Pies have a good flavor to them. I find the oatmeal flavor to be authentic, although I will say the flavor is a little on the dull side. Nonetheless, I can taste the oatmeal and I was able to enjoy the box that I purchased. …
Kraft Macaroni & Cheese
Kraft Macaroni & Cheese is one of those name brand store items that everyone has heard about, everyone knows about and just about everyone has tried it. I personally think that Kraft Macaroni & Cheese is disgusting, but that is just my opinion. I think that you could probably …
Great Value Fruit Slices
This product is sold at Walmart Canada. The container is very big and transparent. I bought this for the children’s party that we had. This is a jelly-like fruit slices. It has various colors representing the flavor that it contains. It is sprinkled with white sugar. It is the typical …
Magnolia Caramel Cheesecake Ice Cream
Summer is here and I could definitely feel the burn of the scorching sun. Because of this, I have succumbed to the calls of the ice cream calling me. It is now the season to give in to the call of ice cream and just forget about the diet. …
Mission’s Yellow Cornflower Tortillas
Every week while I’m grocery shopping I try and search for products that are healthy, but that won’t taste like cardboard or leave me hungry after the meal. I scan the grocery shelves for the perfect product that I can be satisfied with and bring home as part of …
Albertsons extra crunchy peanut butter
I just love this peanut butter. As promised on the label it is one hundred percent extra crunchy. I was little skeptical about it dark yellow color but it turned out very good and I am very happy about the purchase. Albertsons extra crunchy peanut butter cost around three …
Jelly Bean Tropical Mix Candy
I am not fond of eating candies; actually, I avoid sweets since my father was diagnosed with diabetes. Most of candies have too much sugar. My friend gave me Jelly Bean. Her sister came home from US and gave it to her. She gave it to me even though …
Inglehoffer Original Stone Ground Mustard
For those who don’t know what stone ground mustard is, it’s a kind of mustard that is made with whole or crushed mustard seeds and mixed with vinegar and spices. The end result is a very strong, spicy, and sometimes very hot mustard. It tends to have a dark, …
Nestle Premium Chocolate Drink
I don’t really enjoy chocolate drinks as much as I do enjoy iced teas. But Nestle’s new Creamy chocolate drink (Guilt Free) is a good choice for the chocolate lovers but are health conscious. This is another premium drink alongside other milk products like the melon flavored milk, and …
Del Monte Fit ‘n Right Blueberry-Grape Juice Drink
Del Monte Fit ‘n Right Blueberry-Grape, the latest variant in Del Monte’s Fit ‘n Right product line. This new variant boosts less sugar and fewer calories and when I look at the previous variants particularly the Four Season’s variant, true
enough, it has a lower sugar level, from 22g (I …

Recently, I got brave and tried out a new product: Kraft Sandwich Shop Mayo - Chipotle flavor. They actually have four new sandwich spreads, the others being hot and spicy, horseradish - Dijon, and garlic & herb. I ended up with two flavors, so in the future …
Mint creme Oreo
Who doesn’t love Oreos? Seriously, what can be better than 2 chocolate cookies with the sweet creamy filling in between? I love Oreos, but those are one of the worst things to eat. But as many other processed GMO foods they are delicious.
I don’t usually buy Oreos, but when …
Bacolod Chicken Inasal Yummy Native Tsokolate
My day usually starts with a cup of coffee while surfing the net early in the morning. But recently, I was gifted with a box of Bacolod Chicken Inasal Yummy Native Tsokolate, and this brought on a shift from coffee to chocolate drink. Let me preface this review by …
Cadbury Roses 400g box
Cadbury are known for their great quality and choice in chocolates. There really is something for everyone in their selection of Roses. Brazilian darkness is a chewy caramel with a good amount of chopped brazil nuts. It is not too chewy, and I find the flavour of the caramel …
Keebler’s Chips Deluxe Chocolate Lover’s Cookies
I just recently “discovered” this particular flavor of this brand and I’d have to say, I like it more than other brands of cookies. I used to be a big Chips Ahoy fan but for some reason , they changed the way they make the cookies. Now, when I …
Pik-Nik Original Shoestring Potatoes
I really like Pik-Nik Original Shoestring Potatoes. I know that eating junk foods is not good for the body, so I just eat it during the weekend when I watch movies at home. It’s not too salty, and even if the potatoes are thinly sliced into sticks, it still …
Back to Nature Crispy Wheat Crackers
I found these crackers at a local health food store and thought they looked good, so I bought them. They were on sale two boxes for $4. The top of the box claims how healthy they are, with no fake ingredients in them and zero trans fat. It all …
Blue Diamond Roasted Salted Whole Almonds
Almonds have become my new favorite snack. I made a New Years resolution to eat healthier and to work on being the healthiest I can be. I read about the many health benefits from almonds and because of the delicious taste I immediately loved and wanted to incorporate almonds …
Noodles by Leonardo Pasta
I wanted to make a pasta dinner last night so I ended up digging through my cupboard for a box of whatever I could find.
I ended up coming across a box of Noodles by Leonardo spaghetti pasta and, since I also happened to have spaghetti sauce, I decided to …
RC Cola
I am selling soft drinks and beer here in our neighborhood to earn extra cash for the expenses. I don’t get much from these, but some how, the money I earn from selling these helps. One brand of soft drinks I sell and is is my …
Chief Chunky Red Hot Sauce (Salsa Picante)
I have a favourite pepper sauce or hot sauce but recently it was sold out and I was making a dish which absolutely needs to have pepper sauce added into it for it to taste any good! Besides, I love my foods spicy! but I hardly ever cook them …
Fresh Express Salads
My wife and I are trying to eat healthier. And, one of the ways we are doing that is by trying to have a salad at every meal (or at least every meal where a salad is appropriate).
I have managed to get some of the ingredients out of my …
Cinnamon Basil
I have been growing Cinnamon Basil for about a year now. It is wonderful, wonderful stuff. It grows readily from seed, and once it gets going, it is hard to stop. Plants will begin to flower within about a month and a half or so, and the purple flower …
Hershey’s Milk Chocolate Pack A Snack
Hershey’s actually offers several different Pack A Snack varieties, but the one I’m reviewing today is the Hershey’s Milk Chocolate Pack A Snack. These packages are promoted as a product that gives the consumer a delicious snack at work, at play, and at lunch. For me, though, …
Knorr Chicken Cubes
I’ve been using Knorr Chicken Cubes for years. My sister told me to add this into my vegetable dish and see for myself how my dish would come out. As I did it I noted it really made a peculiar difference. It gave the food additional savor. Since …
Fudge Shoppe Grasshopper Mint Cookies
Fudge Shoppe Grasshopper Mint Cookies are delicious mint and chocolate cookies. They have a layer of chocolate over the cookie. The layer does add taste, but it takes over the cookie. There should be more cookie than candy since its not sold as a candy. The actual …
Sainsbury’s Mocha Desserts
I thought I was just getting a common or garden coffee flavoured mousse when I bought this Set of 2 Mocha Desserts from Sainsbury’s, but these are far more gourmet than that. When I took one out and peeled off the cellophane top one of the little tubs …
General Mills - Chocolate Chex
General Mills - Chocolate Chex is a cereal that did very little for me. I did not necessarily purchase this cereal for the purpose of having it for breakfast because I do not like chocolate for breakfast, really. It does not settle well in my stomach. I purchased this …
Milka Oreo
I like Oreo cookies in general because they are very tasty but in the same time they are not very sweet. So when Milka brand made Milka chocolate with Oreo cookies in it I really wanted to check it out. I am a big fan of Milka chocolate in general …
Tortilla Corn Chips Restaurant Style 150g
I discovered the Tortilla corn chips during my last visit to Dollarama, the famed dollar store near where I live. I thought I’d try some crunchy corn chips at home for a change, while I watched TV.
I’m glad I tried this brand. These corn chips are really …
Nestle Carnation Hot Chocolate Mix
I have tried many forms of hot chocolate mixes, including ‘from scratch’ with cocoa and adding milk, sugar and hot water. But this one is, by far, the most convenient, the tastiest and most versatile. I now buy the large 64 serving size, 1.8 kg, as it …
Twix chocolate bar
Twix chocolate bar is my old time favorite. Since childhood I always asked my relative from states to bought me some dozen of it. This chocolate was introduced by my friend from school, a close friend of mine gave me one pieces of chocolate as a birthday present. And …
Eight O’Clock Coffee
I want to recommend Eight O’Clock Coffee, 100% Colombian whole bean.
I almost feel like a traitor writing this, but I have been won over. I used to live in Brazil, which has some of the finest coffee in the world. Here in the USA I did not pay much …
Lucerne Brand Cheeses Made For Safeway & Vons
I love cheese. It is my favorite food group (besides chocolate). I have had many varieties and brands of cheese. I have eaten cheese the world-over from cows, goats & sheep. I have even had soy cheeses. Since Safeway Market is the only available market within 20 miles of …
Imperial Margerine
My family has used Imperial Margerine for several decades. I really can’t say why we started using it because I was a kid when I first became aware of it. This is one of those things where I just never changed brands from what my parents used.
Over …
Lucky Me Instant Noodles
I sometimes forget to eat at lunchtime but never do I skip my breakfast. For some this is odd but for me this is actually just fine. I can’t be as enthusiastic as I should be to do my daily activities without eating my breakfast. One hot noodles, bread …
Nestea Iced Tea
Having a lunch with cold drinks is an ideal lunch. We usually enjoy the food with a refresher on the side. It is juice, soft drinks and iced tea or normally cold water. My family changes from these three above from time to time. Our lunch cannot be complete …
Dilmah - The Single Origin 100% Pure Ceylon Tea
I am a tea lover. Well, you can even call me a tea addict. I love my cup of tea. There is in fact not a time when I would have refused a offer for tea and my day does not feel right if I didn’t start …
Herradura Anejo Tequila
Having never purchased a bottle of anejo tequila -I’d only had it in mixed drinks before - I decided to give it a try recently. Anejos are known for richer flavors because they take the longest to age. Although I prefer reposado tequila, I really enjoyed this Herradura Anejo …
