Drinking coffee is actually a part of our every day life. We drink a cup of it in the morning, and sometimes, even in the afternoon. Nescafe 3in1 is the brand we often buy.
Manufactured by Nestle Philippines,Inc., Nescafe 3in1 comes in a box …
Mrs. Freshley’s Swiss Rolls
I just recently tried these and I have to save that I really love them. I have tried several different brands of Swiss rolls but these are certainly my favorite. I don’t believe you can make a better purchase. They are sold in a box of …
Cinnabon Cinnamon Rolls Classic
Few things in life give me as much joy as when I bite into a warm freshly made Cinnabon Cinnamon roll. In fact I would do some pretty shameful things just to get a cup of the cream cheese based frosting that comes with them.
The cinnamon rolls themselves …
Sainsbury’s Basics Milk Chocolate
This slab of milk chocolate from the Sainsbury’s Basics —˜cheapo’ brand cost all of 27 pence and I cannot complain about it for that price. If you are on a budget and you want to satisfy your chocolate addiction but do not want to pay big prices —“ …
Uncle Bens Pasta Bake Sauces
One dish that me and my son both love is a pasta bake and when I am making one of these I look no further than an Uncle Bens jar. I am sure there are plenty of others that can make the sauce from scratch, but at the moment …
Butterkist Chocolate Sandwich Cookies
I can remember that when I was a little girl, one of my favourite things to snack on was Butterkist sandwich cookies. I would open the sandwich cookies and lick the cream in between before I would eat the cookies themselves. However, as soon as I got tired of …
Cracker Jack’D: Intense Mix Buffalo Ranch
I decided to give this snack when seeing that it was from the brand I know for making the best cracker jacks. It was intriguing to me to see a snack mix in the flavor of buffalo ranch. For only $2.99 I grabbed a bag with trying it …
Sainsbury’s Basic Muesli Breakfast Cereal
I like to review these bargain-basement cheap products as some of them are quite passable even though you would expect it to taste disgusting at the price. I bought a big 1kg bag of muesli from the Sainsbury’s Basics range for about 30p. This will keep me …
Bumble Bee Tuna Salad Kit
I’ve been aware of the Bumble Bee tuna line for quite some time: My first stab at the Bumble Bee tuna salad kit was when I was in elementary school. What makes the Bumble Bee tuna salad kit so good is that it has great portion control, and it …
Nestle Coffee mate creamer
To keep me my stomach warm in the morning the first thing I prepare is to have a cup of coffee. This is my usual routine, coffee completes my day. I am satisfied a breakfast with coffee in the morning. And what makes my coffee tasty and complete? I …
Polos
I have probably bought more packets of Polos than any other mints because I like the way they are minty enough to freshen my breath and at the same time because they are sweet, they taste good. I also like the way the Polo mint has an iconic …
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 …
Betty Crocker Hersey’s Triple Chunk Brownie Mix
There is one thing that I can think of–off the top of my head–that I’m guilty of: Not learning to make brownies from scratch. Luckily for me, there’s Betty Crocker in the wing ready to help me out and impress my mom who know I can’t cook–I’m working on …
Silk Pure Almond: Vanilla
I’m one of those people who likes to put different, exotic, creepy things into my shopping cart. One of those different things I decided to try is a package of Silk Pure Almond Vanilla. Another selection from the wonderful Silk line. I wasn’t hesitant to try this product because …
Great Value Sweet & Salty Almond Granola Bars
I purchased these granola bars from Wal-Mart, they are the store brand and I wanted to compare them to the Nature’s Valley Sweet & Salty Granola Bars to see if I’d be able to get the same product for less money. I do not care what the packaging says …
Chocolate Samba
I am not a chocolate lover. I am not the kind of girl that loves to eat chocolates and not the kind that craves for one either. Well, to be honest there is only about 5 chocolates that I would be caught eating. Others I would only try but …
Lean Cuisine Rosemary Chicken
This is one of my favorite Lean Cuisine meals! I feel so health-conscious every time I eat it. Lean Cuisine describes this meal as “Roasted chicken tenderloins with a garlic-rosemary sauce with spinach and brown and wild rice.”
If you are dieting by counting your daily calories, at 210 calories, …
Mike Sells sour cream and sweet onion chips
I was shopping at my local Big Lots outlet store, where I purchase a great deal of food. Who can pass up these great deals? Not me. I ran across Mike Sells sour cream and sweet onion flavored potato chips in a huge family sized bag for the unbeatable …
Ribena Blackcurrant & Strawberry Fruit Drink

Apart from the tangy and sweet taste, the kind of flavor many will like, it is the added benefits of the brand’s claim …
Choco Lava Chocolate Drink
Drinking hot beverage is something we love especially in rainy season or winter season in Western countries. When I was in Shanghai, one of the drinks I ordered in their Starbucks branch was hot chocolate because I did not know any of their drink. It has always been a …
Nestle Ideal Evaporated Milk
Nestle Ideal Milk is more or less a milk from my mother’s breast. I think almost all Ghanaians are bread to like Idea milk, and now it comes in many different varieties. My favorite is the oldest one I know, the Ideal Milk Evaporated milk original. Package in tin …
Raley’s Fresh Deli Homestyle Meatloaf
For Christmas this year, we went an easier, more simplified route, prompted actually by trying to buy turkey a little too late in the week. Live and learn! Anyway, we ended up purchasing the ‘Homestyle Meatloaf’, a pre-packaged product under the ‘Fresh Deli’ label of Raley’s. The …
Lean Cuisine Chicken with Almonds
Now showing: The Case of the Missing Almonds *cue creepy mystery music*…..Lean Cuisine’s website describes Chicken with Almonds meal as: “Chicken tenderloins in a rich soy sauce,topped with sliced almonds and served with a medley of white rice,green beans, yellow carrots and broccoli florets.” It’s part of the Cafe …
Brakebush Popcorn Chicken
My daughter loves popcorn chicken. But, it’s expensive to keep buying it from the deli so we looked for some we could make ourselves. The brand we settled on was Brakebush. And, while the Brakebush frozen popcorn chicken isn’t bad, it unfortunately didn’t work for our family.
The thing I …
San Mig Pro-Fiber coffee
San Miguel came up with a new of line of instant coffee dedicated to coffee drinkers who also want to lose weight at the same time. I have already reviewed San Mig Pro-Slim and this time I tried San Mig Pro-Fiber.
The theory is that in order to lose …
Clancy’s Focaccia Sticks Four Cheese
Clancy’s Focaccia Sticks Four Cheese can be found at ALDI Food Market stores for one dollar and ninety-nine cents. For just under two dollars, a person can get a five ounce bag. I tried this product as well as Clancy’s Focaccia Sticks Garlic and Herb, and I definitely prefer …
Bud Light Lime
The other day in the supermarket something caught my eye. In the beer isle I noticed that Anhueser Bush had a new product called Bud Lite Lime. It came in a clear bottle and the label said it had a “lime twist”. I asertained that Anhueser Bush was trying …
Mrs. Freshley’s SnackAway Peanut Butter Wafer Bars
Although I feel that Mrs. Freshley’s SnackAway Peanut Butter Wafer Bars could have likely been richer in flavor had this product not been made with nutrition in mind, I must say that despite the fact that there is really very little sugar added to these wafer bars, they still …
Captain D’s Seafood Scampi Platter
It’s to find a good seafood restaurant that offers fish and shrimp that hasn’t been battered and deep-fried. I’ve been to Red Lobster but some of the seafood dishes can be pretty pricey when your budget is a little tight. Captain D’s was having a sale on …
Dawath basmathi rice
The Dawath is the name of the very fine quality rice that is named as basmati rice. Normally this rice is used occasionally, when we have to prepare some special dishes or recipes. Whenever we invite guest to our house, I always take the Dawath basmati rice to …
Nestea Vitao green tea with lemon
I like green tea very much but not the one you can make for yourself from tea bags because that one never tastes good, it is just too bitter and if you put a lot of sugar it becomes very sweet but still has that bitter after taste. I …
Little Debbie Stars & Stripes Frosted Brownies
These Little Debbie Stars & Stripes Frosted Brownies are pretty much identical to the Cosmic Brownies, also manufactured by Little Debbie. The only differences here are these brownies are decorated in celebration of Independence Day and feature star-shaped sprinkles. This hardly alters the taste and texture of this brownie …
Breyers Fat Free Ice Cream
Some time ago my doctor told me that I had high cholesterol. She recommended medication, exercise, and a diet low in fats. I have always been a big ice cream fan and hated to give it up, but most regular ice creams are high in fat. …
Tesco Value Soft Cheese with Garlic and Herbs
Lately, I have not bothered buying the most well known brand of soft cheese as I have discovered that certain cheaper alternatives are just as nice if not nicer. I always like to have something like this in the fridge as for a snack you cannot beat soft …
Nescafe Original Instant Coffee
I think Nescafe Original Instant Coffee is not bad at all and it is one of the cheapest of what I would consider to be quality instant coffees. You can get all sorts of special offers and savings if you shop around as Nescafe Original is widely available …
Excelsior Premium Bran and Oats Cream Crackers
Normally I am used to the Excelsior Cream Crackers made of flour, but recently my grandmother introduced me to the Excelsior Premium Bran and Oats Cream Crackers which she said was not only healthy, but didn’t cost much. Since I usually prefer foods made of bran to flour, I …
Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix
My parents started buying Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix when I was a teenager. It was a quicker way of making corn bread, and it was easier to prepare as well. Not only that, but it was cheaper.
While my parents liked this product, I hated it. The …
Dollar Tree Bakery Fresh Oatmeal Cookies
While these cookies are relatively tasty, I’m not really that wild about them. Oatmeal cookies are not my favorite kind of cookie, and so I don’t snack on oatmeal cookies as often as say peanut butter or chocolate, but there are times when I’ll be ready for something a …

Ever since I tried the Ensure nutritional supplement, I have been hooked! The 8oz. bottle is the perfect size for a snack or meal replacement for people on the go or just want to have a great tasting snack. There are 4 or 5 different flavors, …

Chips Ahoy Chocolate Chip Cookies
Product Description: Package of pre-made chocolate chip cookies (the non-chewy variety). I purchased these a couple days ago for around $3.
What I liked about this product: I still prefer fresh-baked cookies. But, when I don’t have time for something like that, a product like this is just perfect. There …
Sainsbury’s Basics Creamed Tomato Soup
When I am low on cash before pay day, I do like trying out the really cheap own brand produce of supermarkets, such as Sainsbury’s. The prices can be ridiculous, like this Creamed Tomato Soup from the Sainsbury’s Basics range, which is only 17 pence. But I …
Spectrum Naturals Organic Refined Coconut Oil
In my household, we use coconut oil a lot. We use it too make stir fry dishes, to sauté vegetables, to make baked goods and even for oral care and natural beauty care purposes. The coconut oil we love and use the most is the Spectrum Naturals Organic Refined …

Recently I’ve had the chance to try out one of Betty Crocker’s newest products, Betty Crocker Homestyle Reds. These are made with 100% real mashed potatoes. It’s a blend of red and russet potatoes with butter and natural flavors which equals 80 calories per serving. There …
Tesco Value Roasted Salted Peanuts
I really like peanuts as a savoury snack, and have done for a number of years now. They’re less messy than eating a pastry product such as a sausage roll, they don’t melt as many sweet snacks (such as chocolate bars) do and they’re very convenient to carry around. …
Jelly Joy Slurpy orange Jelly drink
Recently we brought home the big pack of Jelly Joy Slurpy orange Jelly drink. We took orange flavor. This is a liquid jelly drink and I felt as if i was eating orange jelly. The taste is good when you serve them chilled. The pack contain 10 pouches and …
Mike and Ike Berry Blast
Mike and Ike are among my favorite candies. I love those great big boxes you can buy for a buck at the grocery store with those little jelloey candies. I don’t know exactly what you would call them besides just good old fashioned Mike and Ikes, but …
Great Value: French Fried Onions
Great Value: French Fried Onions are good to have whether I want to add them as a topping to a vegetable or as a topping to my meat. They are crispy and they are flavorful. The onion inside has a strong flavor that will not go unnoticed and the …
