Del Monte Quality Fresh Cut Whole Kernel Corn
When I bought this brand of tinned corn, I was actually thinking of adding it to the dinner so the food could be more plentiful, but in the end I ended up using it at a later date. When I used it I remember being fairly satisfied with the …
Nescafe 3 and 1 Coffee
I’ve been working for a few years now, and the most important routine I do before I leave the house is just drinking my favorite coffee. Drinking coffee is really in my everyday routine. I want to stay awake in the morning so I prefer drinking a cup of …
Quaker Oats Apple and Cinnamon Oatmeal Cookies
I always associate diet food with unremarkable taste. I don’t really like yogurt, and sugar-free food tends to taste a bit dry. Then I tried Quaker Oats oatmeal cookies. They don’t come cheap, especially compared to most other cookies most people are used to. However, the benefits are well …
Trader Joe’s Organic Hummus
I love hummus. I might even be something of a hummus connoisseur, I’ve eaten so much and so many different kinds. When I saw that my local Trader Joe’s had their own hummus, I just had to try some.
I really like creamy hummus. The creamier, the better, in my …
Linda Mccartney Deep Country Pie 664g
My recent decision to become a vegetarian again has lead to me to try some convenience vegetarian foods. Sometimes you just don’t want to create a meal from scratch, sometimes there just isn’t time. Convenience foods can work out more expensive than creating a meal yourself but …
Kelloggs Honey Smacks Cereal
Another of my favorite cereals is Kelloggs Honey Smacks Cereal. This was one I always loved as a kid and still enjoy as an adult. About the only bad thing about this product is that I like to eat it more as a snack, and it’s messy …
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 …
S&R Del Monte Orange Freshly Squeezed Juice
I love to drink orange juice, but I wanted to try the freshly squeezed ones inside the S&R grocery at the Fort. My mom has always bought these juice bottles and I always was intrigued as to how it was made. So I went over to the juicer station …
Twix Chocolate Caramel Cookie Bars
I no longer eat chocolate, but I remember Twix being my favourite candy bar - - - okay, they call it chocolate caramel cookie bars, and that what makes Twix special —“ the concept of cookies and candy combined. I always used to bite off and eat the cookie …
O’Charley’s Bar and Grill Grilled Turkey Burger
As much as I love burgers, it catches up on you, especially in our appearance-driven, heart-disease-threatened society. I like to alternate my burgers in between ground beef and turkey every so often since it’s all the rage now days to make those kind of substitutions. Whereas I, …
Yoplait French Vanilla
Along with the Banana Creme and Strawberry varieties produced by Yoplait, the French Vanilla variety is among my favorites. Vanilla, in general, I love, especially in the form of ice cream, but it is very tasty in yogurt too, as this product proves. Every spoonful is rich in French …
Little Debbie Christmas Tree Brownies
There really is not a whole lot of difference between these Little Debbie Christmas Tree Brownies and the Little Debbie fudge brownies or the cosmic brownies. Yes, these brownies do have green food coloring to simulate the color of a Christmas tree and yes, there are colored candies to …
Happy Farms Snackin’ Cheese Colby Jack Natural Cheese
Happy Farms Snackin’ Cheese Colby Jack Natural Cheese is sold at ALDI Food Market stores for two dollars and sixty-nine cents per seven point five ounce bag which contains ten individually wrapped pieces. For that amount of cheese, I feel the price is a fair one and I was …
Pringles BBQ Potato Chips 5.96 Oz
If you like barbecue potato chips, then these are the chips for you! These chips have to be my absolute favorite type of barbecue flavored chips! I think it’s my favorite out of all the pringles flavor. Although the pizza flavored ones comes pretty close.
When I …
Voortman Chunky Chip Cookies
I admit that my family loves to eat the sweet stuff despite all the health warnings. Part of the grocery run is walking up and down the chocolate and cookies aisle to see what we have not yet tasted. My mother spotted this Canadian product called Voortman Chunky …
Party Cubes Savoury Cheese bites in Plain
I love cheese of any variety, especially cream cheese, so when Party Cubes Savoury Cheese bites in Plain came on sale for just $2 I quickly bought a box. I have been eating Party Cubes since I was a little girl, and I can always spot their boxes of …
Stouffers Thai Ginger Beef frozen dinner
I wanted a Chinese meal, but was too tired to cook, so I bought Stouffers Thai Ginger Beef dinner in a 250gram box. As always I looked for the Heart & Stroke Health Check sign, and it was right there on the box! I always try and watch what …
Best Choice Canned Meat Filled Ravioli in Tomato Sauce
Everyone is trying to save money wherever they can these days. I think that it is easy to save money at the grocery store because you can trade generic products for more expensive name brand products. I have tried a few generic products, but my favorite brand is Best …
Tea Forte Maine Blueberry Honey
I love trying new honeys when I can find a new one to try. I love natural honeys to flavor my herbal teas, sauces, sweet treats and simply as spoonfuls to help ease sore throats, coughing and even hiccups. One of the natural honeys I picked up an have …
Bull’s-Eye Barbecue Sauce - Original
I’ve always loved barbecue food. There’s something about that extra zest on the meat that appeals to me. Traditionally, too, when eating something like hamburgers, I’ve used catsup. However, lately I’ve started to use barbecue sauce no matter how my meat is prepared, and it’s really …
Kellogg’s Frosted Flakes Cereal
I used to eat this cereal quite often. I liked the sweet flavor and the crunchy qualities that it had. Now though, I hardly eat it and only eat it if it comes in an assortment or variety pack that I order. The reason is it is high on …
Appetitos Franks in a Blanket
There are a variety of recipes out there that outline how to prepare pigs in a blanket or mini crescent dogs, and that’s great if one has the time to go ahead and do that. As a majority of people out there have likely found out time and time …
Kashi Organic Promise Simply Maize Cereal
Kashi is one of those brands that I have come to love in recent years. They have almost always managed to impress me with their quality products. In this case I decided to try their cereal from their organic line called Simply Maize.
Simply Maize is what I would …
Kirk’s Potato Salad
I love potato salad and usually to get the perfect potato salad I would have to make it myself. I have only ever found one potato salad that can stand up to my recipe and it is the potato salad made by a man named Kirk who sells freshly …
Euro Shopper Milk Chocolate
I bought this from my local convenience shop because it looked like a good, large slab of milk chocolate but at only 44 pence. This is very economical as you would expect to pay more like £1 for such a large bar. This is 100g. The …
Kurkure
Kurkure is the name of a snack, which is crunchy, and munchy. It is very crispy and very light, and yummy to eat. It is the favourite food or snack for my child. Without kurkure he does not eat his meal. This packet is not costly …
Primo Hot and Spicy Pasta Sauce
I’ll admit, I used to be a Ragu person. I thought there could be no better pasta sauce in a jar than Ragu (although I did on occasion buy Classico, but it was a tad more expensive).
Primo’s Hot and Spicy Pasta Sauce, though, is an excellent treat. …
Hamlet The Cigar
I am not a cigar smoker who has the —˜packet habit’. That term may not mean anything to you, but it’s a symptom of cigarette smokers’ behaviour. They have that little packet out of their pocket with great regularity and out comes another coffin nail. Cigar smokers tend to …
Sprite
Sprite is a soft drink. It is a product of the famous and popular coco-cola company. I like Sprite very much. It is a very tasty and rejuvenating drink. It is also quite sweet to taste and is an energizing drink. Actually, Sprite is a soda with lemon ingredients …
Subway’s Chicken Florentine Sandwich/Steak and Beacon Melt
Subway came up with two different sandwiches; the Chicken Florentine Sandwich and the Steak and Beacon Melt.
Subway’s Chicken Florentine Sandwich is a flatbread wrap creation. It contains succulent grilled chicken strips, tomatoes, olives, spinach artichoke dressing, melted cheese and some Tuscan spice. With all those vegetables I did …
Benton’s Cookies Candy Cane Chocolate Sandwich Cremes
Just as autumn is a great time of the year for those that can’t get enough of pumpkin, once December arrives, it’s all about peppermint! Well, it might not all be about peppermint, but that’s a pretty common ingredient in foods and drinks during the Christmas season. If you’re …
Best Choice Minced Garlic Cloves
Since my husband unfortunately lost his job last year, our family was forced to seriously reconsider how much we spend each week at the grocery store. One area where we found it was easy to save money was buying purchasing generic products in place of higher priced name brand …
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, …
Blue Bunny Premium Ice Cream Bunny Tracks
Blue Bunny Premium Ice Cream Bunny Tracks is a real sweet ice cream treat! This ice cream contains vanilla, peanut butter chocolate bunnies, chocolate-coated peanuts, chocolate fudge drizzles and peanut butter caramel. That is a whole lot of flavor to take in and your taste buds certainly will be …
Snapps Loaded Potato Sticks Appetizer
Snapps loaded potato sticks is an appetizer I found when I didn’t have enough time to prepare my lunch for work, and I had to rush over to Wal-Mart to find something quick to eat. Before making the purchase I wasn’t familiar with the Snapps brand, and I was a …
Ben & Jerry’s Half Baked Ice-Cream
During the warm months of summer, I have a great excuse to buy my favourite store-bought ice-cream. Although I keep trying new flavours, Ben & Jerry’s Half Baked remains my very favourite. I do detest paying the $7 or so for a tiny container, but there are times that …
Wal-Mart Great Value Brand Ice Cream
Ice cream has gotten really expensive and many of the brands have reduced the size of the container, yet still charge the old price. Since we have been shopping at the new Super-Wal-Mart that opened in the community I have been trying out their generic brands with the label …
Busy Baker Cheddar Cheese Baked Snack Crackers
I love eating crackers as a snack, but I think the majority of the crackers sold at my local grocery store are outrageously priced. The median price seems to be $3.00, and I can’t justify paying $3.00 for a box of crackers. So I usually end up …
Cadbury’s gems
Cad buries is the name of the company which produces many kind of chocolates. I have tasted all the chocolates of this company and all are good, for example, Cadburys dairy milk, Cadburys gems and Cadburys 5 star chocolates. They contain very good quality and very good …
Carl’s Jr. Milk Shake
Carl’s Jr. Milk Shake is described as being creamy, hand-scooped ice cream that is blended with real mMilk and chocolate syrup with whipped topping.
I was surprised the first time that I had one of these. It was definitely a ton better than I thought. Yet, there are aspects …
Argentina Beef Loaf
Frankly, I don’t really see why brands name beef loafs and meat loafs as two different entities. They’re actually one and the same to me. They taste similar– I can’t seem to see the difference at all. …
Duncan Hines Fudgy Brownie Mix
My sister-in-law and I were trying a couple of brownie mixes, and we had already tried Betty Crocker’s Hershey’s Supreme Brownie Mix with Walnuts, and they were the most delicious fudge walnut brownies I have tasted in my life and get this —“they’re only a mix and that delicious …

…
Milka Fire Limited Edition

Best Choice Long Grain Instant Rice
One of the great things about trying to save money at the grocery store is that you get to try new brands. One of my favorite new generic brands is the Best Choice line of products. I recently tried their Best Choice Long Grain Instant Rice and …
McDonald’s Grilled Spicy Chicken Wrap
For two dollars, I think this is a great little snack. It is delicious and I get them frequently. You can get the snack wrap grilled or crispy, but grilled is healthier and actually tastes much better than crispy. You can also get wraps in barbecue and ranch, though …
Millville Pumpkin Pancake & Waffle Mix
The Millville Pumpkin Pancake & Waffle Mix can be found at ALDI Food Market stores. One sixteen ounce box costs two dollars and seventy-nine cents a box. The pancake and waffle mix box is half the size of the pancake and waffle mixes sold in other grocery stores such …
