I make it a special point to always try any grilled chicken breast sandwich that is offered at a franchise restaurant for two reasons. One, it’s a healthier option than a hamburger. Two, these restaurants offer the chicken breast sandwich out of obligation for those who don’t …

If you are not familiar with Maruchan Yakisoba Noodle meals, they are basically a pasta based meal that does not require refrigeration and that can be prepared in the microwave. Yakisoba noodles are similar to ramen noodles.
I recently bought a number of the Maruchan Yakisoba Noodle meals when …

Cooper’s Cheesy Breadsticks sell for two dollars and nineteen cents at ALDI Food Market stores. Five cheesy breadsticks come in a box. Breadsticks that are filled with cheese aren’t cheap, regardless of what store I go to, but the Cooper’s brand found at ALDI Food Markets is about the …

Clancy’s Focaccia Sticks Roasted Garlic and Herb can be purchased from ALDI Food Market stores for one dollar and ninety-nine cents. The focaccia sticks come in a five ounce bag. ALDI Food Market stores also carry this product in another flavor: Clancy’s Focaccia Sticks Four Cheese, but I’m not …

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 …

I always try to check out the new stuff so today I went to a shop and saw in the fridge where they usually keep yogurts a very interesting set of yogurts. There were six of them connected, but what was so special about them is that they were …

I managed to snag the Dale Earnhardt Junior Big Mo Caramel candy bar a few weeks before the candy hit the shelves. I’m a big NASCAR fan, so I couldn’t wait to try it. Oddly enough, I don’t care for Dale Earnhardt Junior at all, but I still wanted …

After tasting Tiffany’s Classic Digestive biscuits, the first word comes out from mouth is ‘wow! One more please’. Because they are too good to resist. These mouth watering biscuits are made of natural wheat flour and are good for health . As it does not contain any …

I had the opportunity to try a new brand of bottle tea from Bay Estate Tea Co I had never previously heard of the brand and was curious to give it a try. Normally I don’t drink diet bottled tea, since it’s made with aspartame or some other artificial …

These tiny brightly colored candy coated milk chocolate drops are one of my favorite candies. Each one is about the size of a thick aspirin tablet, and there are many m & m’s in a package.
They have a crunchy slightly sweet smooth sugary exterior with a creamy milk chocolate …

We bought two of these plants for about four dollars a piece at Lowes, they were potted in one gallon containers and were about a foot tall. Since then, it has been about five weeks, and they have expanded in size quite a bit. They now stand about a …

It says on the package: “Delicious bread crisps seasoned with onion”. And I have to agree with that statement. “Bake Rolls” is indeed delicious.
In my quest to limit my intake of chips, I switched to “Bake Rolls”. One package has approximately 90 grams of baked bread crisps. The onion …

New York Style - Baked Bagel Chips Garlic disappointed me immensely because I did not feel there was anywhere near sufficient garlic seasoning on these chips to justify calling them garlic. Sure, there is a garlic flavor to be tasted, but it is not remarkable in the slightest. It …

I like to munch on chocolate stuff. I just filled my fridge with new additions from the supermarket the other day. I am open to discovering new snacks that could be easily munched on specially when I watch TV. As I was looking for some small cakes that were …

Mountain Dew Throwback, unlike Pepsi Throwback, actually differs quite a bit in flavor when compared with regular Mountain Dew. Pepsi Throwback and regular Pepsi have a similar flavor despite the slight difference in sweetness. Mountain Dew Throwback however has a prominent orange juice flavor that regular Mountain Dew does …

From first appearances, a box of Marlboro Mediums looks very similar to Marlboro’s trade mark flavor, Reds. Unfortunately, that’s where the similarities end because unlike Reds, Marlboro Mediums are horrible cigarettes.
Lacking the classic flavor of full flavored Marlboro reds, Mediums were dry. When I say dry, I …

MY mother and grandmother really like this Ricotta cheese. I am not really fond of it myself but I eat it anyway. I mean it is not bad it is not something I would by for myself.
I used to eat a lot of this Ricotta s when I was …

I first came to know about YanYan (a Japanese snack of bread sticks dipped in flavored frosting) while vacationing at Epcot in Disney World Florida. Epcot as some may know, is a park connected with Disney World that shows visitors different cultures around the world. One of those cultures …

One-hundred percent fruit juice isn’t always priced at what I consider to be an affordable amount of money. Without sales or coupons, juice that isn’t diluted with water generally runs for over three dollars. It’s for that reason that when I came across the Nature’s Nectar brand of mango …

This is my favorite Michelina frozen dinner and I eat them more than I probably should, but they are so quick and easy to prepare that it makes for a very convenient lunch when I’m trying to deal with my toddler and get her to eat her food.
The Michelina’s …

As a health freak, I am infatuated with the most healthiest foods available. I do not consume products with any chemicals, preservatives, or anything else malnutritional therefore I am very picky. Langer’s orange juice boasts that it contains only 100% pure orange juice. The ingredients also state it to …

I am always on the lookout for a bargain, and I am always on the lookout for low calorie snacks! When I visited my local grocery store, and saw Skinny Cow Fudge Bars on sale for only $4Cdn for 7 bars, I bought them.
These bars are sweetened with Splenda …

We got this when my husband went to Wal-Mart to get me pepper after work. All that I wanted was some ground black pepper for our dinner, but he came home with this McCormick Black Peppercorn Grinder because he knows that I like peppercorn grinders. It is very nice …

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 …

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 …

It was a halfway decent day out yesterday, with the temperatures in the 60s for the first time in a couple of weeks. Since it was likely one of the last days we will have like that before winter, I took full advantage and decided to fire up our …

Baker’s Corner Spring Confetti Deluxe Moist White Cake Mix is a product that sells for ninety-five cents at ALDI Food Market stores. Eighteen point nine ounces of cake mix come in a box, so it contains about as much cake mix as your average Pillsbury or Duncan Hines cake …

I am always on the look out for a great Friday evening snack to have while watching a movie; and when I found Oh Henry Cookies on sale for $2.99CDN I bought them. I have always loved Oh Henry chocolate bars, and was surprised to find they now made …

When it comes to baking cakes, cupcakes, cookies and candies I am fine in the kitchen, but when it comes to baking breads and pastries from scratch that is when my flaws show. I came across Fleischmann simply baking homemade baking bread kit while I was on the baking aisle …

I’ve never bought my own espresso before, so this was my first attempt purchasing espresso for my cappuccino maker. I’m really not a fan of Starbucks beans after working there, so I was avoiding Starbucks espresso. The Archer Farms espresso proved to be an excellent alternative for a good …

In recent months, my family and I have purchased off-brand versions of products in an effort to save money on our grocery bill. We now have our favorite generic brands that we trust to taste good and be a good value. However, one brand we do not like is …

We bought four containers of McCain’s Cool Quenchers frozen juice concentrate last time we went grocery shopping. We chose to try these particular drink mixes because they were on sale - we usually just get regular store brand frozen juice mix or juice in those big bottles. But these …

It never ceases to amaze me every time I eat them —“ but, Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuits have got to be the best biscuits I have ever woofed down.
If you have never been to Red Lobster or tasted their Cheddar Bay Biscuits, you are truly missing out a …

Product Description: Bag of 24 pre-cooked frozen sausage links. Available at one of our local grocery stores (I’m guessing it is only available at select stores) for about $3.50.
What I liked about this product: I have found, as far as breakfast goes at least, you can’t go wrong with …

I usually don’t buy or eat Oats and Raisins cookies but when my mother came to visit she bought a couple boxes of Craver’s Haulin’ Oats & Raisins Gourmet Cookies with her and left me a box for myself.
Craver’s Haulin’ Oats & Raisins Gourmet Cookies are different from cookies …

Although the Little Debbie Petites Chocolate Cakes disappointed me immensely due to their overall lack of noticeable chocolaty flavor, I decided to give the Little Debbie Petites Strawberry Cakes a try because I figured there was a chance that even though the chocolate cakes ended up being a dud, …

Breakfast is complete if you have pancakes for the kids. I also like having pancake for breakfast because it is a good choice instead of going for eating old-fashioned bread. I like wheat bread or oven fresh sliced white bread with cream jelly but nothing can top a freshly …

Cold Stone Creamery in my opinion beats Baskin Robbins or any store-bought variety of ice cream any day. I first discovered it six years ago when I heard people at my camp talking about it. When there was an outing to go see …

Price Smart is a British Columbia owned and operated superstore with quite a huge inventory. It offers 100 percent money back guarantee, and like most, points for shopping here often.
This explains why I would rather shop here rather than the neighboring Safeway. Both supermarket entities have membership …

It seems everything in this day and age becomes new and improved or changed into a hundred different varieties. Okay, that’s a slight exaggeration, but I’m sure you know what I mean. The latest example came in the bread department with Sara Lee Soft & Smooth …

I like the Quality street chocolates Assortment pack by Nestle and my children just crazy about the quality street. The good thing about the whole pack is there are verities of chocolate in a single assortment pack. The pack can be a very good gift on all occasions. The …

I wanted to taste some wafer biscuits because sometimes at work, I do like to have some snack like bread or biscuits to eat. So I bought myself an Orange Pickwick which is a Wafobix Creamy wafer.
I can say that kids would surely like wafers. Wafobix creamy wafer is …

I’m probably a rarity in that I actually like instant coffee. I don’t have a coffee maker, so if I want coffee I have to use instant. I think that non-instant coffee is certainly better than instant, but in a pinch instant will definitely do.
I liked that this instant …

Oscar Mayer Cheese Hotdogs are a little costly, but they are very good. I don’t know how it is done, but each hotdog is filled with thick cheese sauce that comes out when you bite into it. The mix of hotdog and melted cheese tastes great; there is just …

I love California Pizza Kitchen, and when I found out that there was a frozen version of their pizzas that you can take home and cook, I knew I had to try it. You can find them at the grocery store in the frozen foods isle for around …

I’m a big fan of the McSkillet burrito from McDonald’s and when I heard they were making one using steak, I knew it was something I had to try. The steak is the same that they use on their other breakfast sandwiches and I’ve eaten those without a problem …

I picked up this Swanson Beef Dinner as a two for one deal on Swanson products. This 325gram boxed frozen dinner looked absolutely delicious; rich pieces of roast beef in gravy, mashed potatoes, green beans and a bonus apple-cranberry desert. As always Swanson gives you the option of either …

Old Dutch All Dressed Potato Chips are easily some of the most forgettable chips that I have ever tried. While that certainly is not a good thing, it actually is not a terribly bad thing, either. The reason I say that is because while the potato chips do not …
