Chick-fil-A Hash Browns
Chick-fil-A Hash Browns are almost exactly like the hash browns served at Burger King. They are round and small and crispy. They have a good flavor to them and taste pretty much identical to McDonald’s and Burger King’s hash browns. Plus, they are not real greasy at all. I …
Brach’s candy corn
Recently I bought some Brach’s candy corn while I was at the grocery store. They had it out with other candy for Halloween. Brach’s candy corn was pretty cheap. It was also pretty good especially for the price of it. You get a pretty big bag of candy corn. …
Chobani Greek Yogurt
I have intended to try some of the “Greek” style yogurts I’ve seen in grocery stores the last year, but was afraid I might not like them as well as the tradional brands I am used to. I was afraid they might be sour or “too natural” tasting.
When I …
Betty Crocker’s Warm Delights
The new Warm Delights by Betty Crocker are worth a try for anyone looking for a sweet snack. They come in individual serving size for about $2 a piece at grocery stores. The bowl shaped microwave-safe dish comes packed with cake mix, cinnamon swirl and icing. You simply add …
Lipton Iced Tea
I bought one can of Lipton Iced Tea from the US. Although I love juice especially the freshly squeezed ones, I still crave for iced tea sometimes. During days when the sun is extremely hot, it is one of the best treat to drink one glass of iced tea. I …
Tesco Value Strawberries
I fancied getting in some strawberries and cream to serve to some guests I had recently and as I was a bit strapped for cash I was tempted to buy a big 400g tub of strawberries from the Tesco Value range. They were only £1.50 which is very …
Beng-Beng Hazelnut
Beng-Beng Hazelnut is the newest variant (although it is not that new, so maybe you have already heard about it, or even tried it before) of Beng-Beng chocolate products.
It has the same ingredients with all other Beng-Beng variant, with one biggest difference. As it is called, this new product …
Arniston Bay Wine
I bought a bottle of red wine at the weekend, not really thinking about what kind I was getting. It’s —˜Arniston Bay’ and it was on a special offer at one of the major supermarkets, so I decided to give it a try. It tuned out to be …
Lapsang Suchong Tea
You may be someone who is naturally adventurous. On the other hand, you may be the entire reverse. You may be quite happy to see what the world looks like on TV and have no great wish to travel to foreign parts where they speak other languages. It may …
Taco Bell Soft Tacos
Sometimes when a person has sensitive teeth or even caps, a crunchy taco isn’t a smart food choice. It was during such a time that I expanded my horizons and first tried Taco Bell Soft Tacos. Since that first experience many years ago, I’ve often purchased this …
Jiffy Pop Popcorn
The other day, I was watching an episode of Family Guy and saw the character Cleveland making Jiffy Pop popcorn. I said to my wife “that’s something we haven’t had in a while, let’s go buy some.”
After having it for the first time in years, I can honestly say …
French Onion Sun Chips
My wife and I celebrated our anniversary this past weekend. And, as a gift, one of my coworkers made some dip for my wife and even provided French Onion Sun Chips to go with it (she knew we were having a movie night on Friday).
I honestly didn’t care for …
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 …
Vanilla Coke
I like most of Coke products and I like vanilla, so when Vanilla Coke was announced I couldn’t wait to try it. I thought the taste was going to be divine. However, when I had bought my first little bottle, I was disappointed. I don’t think I ever bought …
Pepsi-Cola throwback
Pepsi has now come out with it’s throwback, trying to get sales by going back to using real sugar instead of the now used corn syrup. The product tastes very good but is not as sweet as the regular Pepsi. I have really looked forward to this coming out, …
Tomato Basil Chicken Breast
The tomato basil chicken breast is one of the best entrees you could ever eat. The origins of this dish derive from Italy but it has become quite the universal dish. This is because it is amazingly popular and commonly present on the menu at a variety of …
Dr. Lushus Corn Bread and Cheese
Some time ago when I had exams, I didn’t have enough time to eat dinner at home since I had to leave early. I also didn’t feel like eating much because I was still nervous even though I was a bit hungry. Therefore, what I ended up doing …
Epicurious - www.epicurious.com
I discovered Epicurious completely by accident. I googled the Greek dish saganaki, which is deep-fried cheese, and one of the recipes that came up was on the website www.epicurious.com, and I have been referencing this site ever since for almost every new recipe I want to try. Both my …
McDonald’s Big Mac
There is no denying the fact that these are tasty hamburgers, but they are probably one of the worst things you can order when you go out for fast food.
The Big Mac is a two-burger sandwich served with lettuce, cheese, pickles and Big Mac sauce, which I just get …
Bolthouse Farms Perfectly Protein Vanilla Chai Tea
Several years ago, my son started buying Bolthouse Farms bottled healthy drinks. I asked him if I could taste them. Yum. My absolute favorite is the Bolthouse Farms Perfectly Protein Vanilla Chai Tea. It is a healthy blend of soy, green tea, chai spices, vitamins, minerals, and vanilla. …
Sunnyside Farms Chocolate Milk
Yesterday I did a review for Sunnyside Farms ice cream and in that review I mentioned I wouldn’t buy anymore of this store brand’s dairy products. On the same shopping trip, however, I had also bought this product, Sunnyside Farms Chocolate Milk. I did so because I …
Grey Goose Vodka
Grey Goose is a type of vodka that is normally worth around thirty dollars. I understand this is a major problem for most people who care about what they spend their money on. I am not afraid to admit the fact that I am avid drinker. I like to …
Roger’s Curried Duck
I don’t know how many people have experienced curried duck before but it is pretty popular here in my country and also pretty expensive. My absolute favourite curried duck is cooked by a man named Roger. He just gets all the measurements right every time it seems.
Curried duck goes …
Great Value Brats
Ever since I first saw Great Value brats at our local Walmart, I have wanted to try them. But, even though they are a store brand, they have always been more expensive than the Johnsonville brats I normally buy so I never did.
This past weekend, however, they were about …
Great Value Pepperoni and Bacon Pizza Pillows
I know that Pizza Pops are horrible for me. But, they’re also delicious. Delicious and expensive. I usually buy them once every few months because I’m craving the pizza-y goodness that only they can deliver. This month, however, I was on a budget and I happened to be visiting …
Edy’s Mango Ice Cream
Edy’s mango ice cream is a recent discovery I made while on one of many excursions to super Wal-Mart. I had previously been accustomed to another brand of ice cream, but I figured since that brand no longer made their mango ice cream I would try Edy’s.
The mango ice …
Arm & Hammer Pure Baking Soda
Baking soda is one of those ‘must have’ items to keep in stock in your home. This is one of those little miracle products that has so many uses! Baking soda’s active ingredient is sodium bicarbonate which is an antacid. My husband suffers from acid reflux, and he uses …
Women’s weekly vegetarian meals in minutes
I have to admit that after I got married I am not really a good cook but since going outside and spend money eating in restaurant can be very expensive and sometimes very boring. I decided to make food at home which is nutritious and healthy for my …
Chocolate Covered Nutter Butter Cookies
These new cookies are from Nabisco and are peanut butter sandwich cookies covered with pure milk chocolate.
They remind me of a Crispy Crunch chocolate bar and are quite tasty although they don’t have the crunchy toffee in the Crispy Crunch chocolate bar, they are a delicious, creamy peanut …
Yogurt Park
When I lived in the dorms at Unit 3 right across from Unit 3, I never understood what the big deal was about Yogurt Park. Yes I knew it was famous, and I knew that many of the people I knew really liked it, I never understood the craze …
Broccoli soup mix
I noticed a request for broccoli soup mix so I thought I’d give my two cents.
Personally, I love broccoli soup. It’s my absolute favorite soup to warm up with during cold Canadian winters. There’s a lot of types out there but my favorite is Bear Creek cheddar …
Starkist Chunk Light Tuna in Vegetable Oil
Although the Starkist brand has been around now for quite some time, I honestly do not understand what the appeal is. I do not think the company makes particularly good canned tuna fish, and the Starkist Chunk Light Tuna in Vegetable Oil is as good of an example as …
Purefoods Beef Hotdogs
Hotdogs have been a staple food for breakfast for so long now. I remember when I was young when I really love to have hotdogs for breakfast, for morning snacks and even for midnight snacks. I love eating it because it gives you that comfort and unparalleled satisfaction of eating …
Starbucks Cookie Dough Cheesecake
It was my first time yesterday to see Starbucks offering a Cookie Dough Cheesecake as on of its dessert selections. As I love cheesecake and cookie dough, it seemed only natural for me to order a slice which I shared with my friend. A slice cost Php105 …
American choice seltzer water
A&P brand American choice seltzer water is by far the best seltzer water I have come across. Unlike the heavy taste of Vintage aSeltzer water the flavored seltzers have just a hint of rasberry, lemon,orange and cherry. Cherry and raspberry are my favorites. They are even more …
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 …
San Remo Macaroni and Cheese (Instant)
Some would say I’m a Macaroni and Cheese freak. I’ve sampled just about all of Kraft’s different variants. For me, a good serving has a hint of sharp cheddar. When I saw that San Remo had their own little packet of instant mac and cheese, I just had …
Cheetos Crunchy Cheddar and Jalapeno Flavor (8 OZ)
I recently bought a big 8 OZ bag of Cheetos Crunchy Cheddar and Jalapeno flavored Cheese snack in the supermarket for about $3 (Php 150). I have been craving Cheetos to snack on while watching TV or as a midnight snack. For $3 (about Php150), this is really a …
Coffee Twist Iced Black Coffee in Hazelnut Flavor
The internet connection in the house we are temporarily staying is very slow at night, and so to make the most of the captcha and online writing work that I do, I wake up very early in the morning. To help me really wake up, I would drink hot …
Quitos Hot Chili Lime Rolled Tortilla Snacks
When strolling in my neighborhood Kroger I was a standing by the chip snack isle when I noticed the stand that was introducing the new line of snacks called Quitos. They were offering them at a introductory price of ninety cents for all of their flavors. Because …
Stouffer’s Chicken Quesadilla Flatbread Melt
Stouffer’s Chicken Quesadilla Flatbread Melt is a something that I like to have for lunch now and then, but it is out for dinner time since I do not find it to be filling enough to last me for the remainder of the night and early morning. However, the …
Best Choice Canned Sweetened Condensed Milk
During these hard economic times, one of the best ways to save money is by watching how much you spend at the grocery store. I have recently started buying more generic products. Though some are very good, others are just terrible and down right inedible. I do, however, love …
Ore-Ida Steak Fries
For decades, I’ve used various versions of Ore-Ida potatoes. I think my first love was their crinkle fries. Now, though, I’ve tried out another variety, and it’s become my favorite thus far. Ore-Ida Steak Fries are thick cut potatoes. The package describes them as being …
Fusia Mandarin Orange Chicken
Okay, I never thought in a million thousand years that I would ever do a review about a bagged and frozen chinese food product, but this one is the one that broke the mold. My husband and I are true budgeters so we shop at Aldi from time to …
Smucker’s Chocolate Magic Shell
When I visited the USA I always used to buy my favourite vanilla ice cream there because they never used to import it yet (they do now) plus I can make ice cream that matches that particular brand. Anyway, on to ice cream sauces. There are always a variety …
Marmite Jar (250g)
The first time I had a taste of marmite was that when a friend of mine gave me toasted bread with marmite and butter on top and my first impression was that I don’t like it at all. When I saw it the first time I thought it …
Mrs. Freshley’s Jumbo Honey Bun
I do not feel that there is anything particularly special about Mrs. Freshley’s Jumbo Honey Bun compared with the other honey buns made by other companies that can be found in the grocery store, but I nonetheless enjoyed what was likely my one and only purchase of a Mrs. …
Reese’s Puffs
When this cereal first appeared, it’s major advertising gimmick was that you were essentially eating peanut butter cups for breakfast. There’s some truth to this. The cereal is made with two kinds of puffs, some are made with Reese’s peanut butter and the others are made with Hershey’s …
Pillsbury Halloween Funfetti Frosting
I bought this frosting specifically for use with Pillsbury’s Halloween Funfetti cake mix. I just wanted to make a cake that looked like the picture on the box. I know, not very creative. What can I say, I was tired from grocery shopping and I just wanted to have …
