Jell-O No Bake Cheesecake
I like cheesecake. It has always been a creamy sweet dessert that I can really enjoy. The only problem is that I personally don’t know how to make cheesecake. Also, I don’t like buying ready made cheesecake at the store because it is extremely expensive compared to the other …
Ethnic Gourmet Peanut Satay Chicken
Ethnic Gourmet Peanut Satay Chicken is a frozen meal that retails for three dollars and fifty cents. I tried this frozen meal once, but never again will I buy another box. The meal wasn’t downright terrible, but while it gets the chicken right, it absolutely, totally, misses the mark …

Ferrato’s Meatballs
I recently purchased a bag of Ferrato’s Meatballs the last time I was at our local Save-a-Lot store so I could use them in my spaghetti later in the week.

The meatballs lacked a bit in terms of …
Little Debbie Fall Marshmallow Treats
I find these Little Debbie Fall Marshmallow Treats to be pretty tasty and even borderline addicting!

Great Value Cream of Mushroom Condensed Soup
I use Great Value Cream of Mushroom Condensed Soup mostly for cooking, although it tastes good just as soup as well. Campbell’s is still my favorite though, there is a slight taste difference, and it is less lumpy. But when it comes to casseroles, chicken, and stroganoff, the Great …

Seattle Cider Co. Dry Hard Cider
Anyone who knows me knows that I don’t like the “girly” drinks, the sweet drinks that have so much sugar in them, you need whiskey as a chaser. This is especially true when it comes to hard cider. Apples are naturally a sweet fruit, and they’re what a lot of …

Original Mini Wheats cereal

M&M’s Peanut Chocolate Candies

Great Value Boil in a Bag White Rice

Pringles Potato Crisps - Bacon Ranch
This is a flavor that takes a little getting used to, believe me! Bacon and ranch is an interesting combination of flavors, to say the very least! Now, I would say that the zesty ranch taste sort of overrides the bacon flavor, but both flavors are clearly present and you …
Summit Diet Cherry GT Cola (Twelve Pack)
Summit Diet Cherry GT Cola retails for one dollar and ninety-nine cents at ALDI Food Market stores. In one twelve pack comes twelve-ounce cans. It’s not all that easy to describe the flavor of this diet cola. Sure, it has a noticeable cherry flavor to it, but beyond the …
