San Mig Coffee 2-in-1
I love coffee just like a lot of people in the world. It is my poison of choice. However, for lack of time in the morning, I have foregone my usually brewed coffee for breakfast mainly due to time constraints, and have taken to bringing 3-in-1 coffee sachets to …
Sam’s Choice (beverages)
Walmart’s generic brand of sodas is called Sam’s Choice. I have tried their flavored beverages, and I still have yet to find one that really closely resembles a major name brand soda. While I can not say that the Sam’s Choice beverages taste bad in any way, …
Milka Alpine Milk Chocolate Extra Cacao
I am a chocolate lover. I do not say no if someone offers me even the sizes is small. One time my sister went home and I saw her cutting into pieces a Milka chocolate. I have to admit this is the first time I tasted chocolate from Milka. …
Milky Way Midnight Candy Bar
Well, the truth is, I just don’t like dark chocolate and that’s the main thrust behind the Milky Way Midnight Candy Bar. It’s not a big guess then to understand that my vote is a big time nay on this variation of the regular Milky Way bar, which …
Crosse and Blackwell Rice in 5 Golden Vegetable
I have tried this brand of savoury rice today for the first time and I like it. I just wanted to pick something up from the shop that would go with the baking potatoes I had in at home and for some reason I love this kind of …
Pringles Potato Crisps - Barbecue
These Pringles potato crisps taste pretty good! If you are someone that enjoys the flavor of barbecue, then I believe you will enjoy the flavor of these chips! They really do remind me of the flavor of barbecue sauce and barbecued food! Pringles certainly was not skimpy when it …
Angus Pride Steaks
We don’t normally buy the brand Angus Pride when it comes to steaks; electing instead to purchase locally grown beef. However, we had a couple packs given to us by my parents and, rather than have them go to waste, I opted to make them last night on the grill.
After …
Publix Strawberry and Almond Cheesecake
I can’t be certain of who introduced me to the Publix strawberry and almond cheesecake, but I give them many thanks for doing so.
Before I started eating Publix strawberry and almond cheesecake, I wasn’t really a big cheesecake eater: I didn’t eat cheesecake religiously. I remember my mom brought …
Gold Rush Kettle Korn
I have never been a huge fan on popcorn, I must admit. But, when my favorite local grocery store began selling Gold Rush Kettle Korn, I figured that I would try it. Never in my life have I tasted anything so sweet yet salty, and crunchy. …
Marlboro Mediums
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 …
Philedelphia Reduced Fat Chocolate Cream Cheese
I was in Wal-Mart not too long ago when I saw that Philadelphia, one of the most iconic food companies around, has recently teamed up with Cadbury and launched a chocolate version of their iconic cream cheese. As a huge chocolate fan I was immediately excited. It …
Lipton Ice Tea: Green Tea
I don’t usually drink green tea, either the bottled kind or the one that I would need to brew myself. It seems too bitter for my taste, and instead of quenching my thirst, leaves me wanting something else to drink. I had tasted a selection of bottled green teas, …
Betty Crocker Mac and Cheese: Original flavor
I’m what you would call a loyal user of the brand of Betty Crocker. Usually I go for the cake mixes and hamburger helper kits but this time around I had the opportunity to their brand of Mac and cheese. I found it interesting that they would have a …
Dillman Farm - All Natural Pumpkin Butter Fruit Spread
Dillman Farm - All Natural Pumpkin Butter Fruit Spread is one of my favorite spreads to have on my bread, biscuits and bagels. It is really delicious! I find the pumpkin flavor to be both rich and real in pumpkin flavor and boy does it ever dominate whatever I …
Hormel Compleats: Beef Steak & Peppers
I’ve tried various Hormel Compleats meals over the past year and like some better than others. This is the first one I’ve tried, though, that is from their healthier line of foods. These are in green to stand out and have the ‘created for a healthy lifestyle’ …
Mama Cozzi’s Italian Style Classics Meatball Marinara Pizza
As I’m not an expert on what exactly classifies as an Italian classic, I have no idea whether or not Mama Cozzi’s Italian Style Classics Meatball Marinara Pizza will satisfy those that consider themselves foodies in the area of classic Italian foods, but as someone that enjoys a good …
The Co-operative Chocolate Sponge Sandwich
This chocolate sponge sandwich from the Co-operative’s own brand is only 70p and, for that price, it tastes pretty good. It is obvious not a gourmet sponge cake and I find that there is not too much in it, but it was moist and tasted nice and chocolatey …
Kroger 100% White Corn Restaurant Style Tortilla Chips
I had a craving for tortilla chips, and I also wanted to find an easy snack that I could bring to a friend’s gathering. So I went searching for the cheapest tortilla chips I could find. I found these, which are a store brand, and were considerably less expensive …
Totino’s pizza
Totino’s pizza has been a staple of my college eating habits, and while they aren’t healthy they are cheap and really easy to make therefore I tend to eat a whole lot of them and I don’t mind if they are bad for me they do taste quite good! …
Frito Lay Nacho Cheese Doritoes
One of my favorite snacks is doritoes in the nacho cheese flavor. They are a type of chips made by the Frito Lay company. They have a very distinct red bag. They come in several different sizes to fit your snacking desires. They also come …
Gordo’s Cheese Dip - Mild
Gordo’s Cheese Dip - Mild variety is indeed mild. This cheese dip, I think, is ideal for those individuals that like a cheese dip that has just a little fire to it. When I dip a chip in the cheese dip, I get a fairly thick and non-runny dip …
Casillero del Diablo Shiraz
When Lyndsey and I have put our two young children to bed we often open a bottle of wine to drink whilst relaxing after a busy day. This is our time together with what we want on television instead of watching Kurt and Josh’s favourite programme such as Mickey …
Freshona Grilled Peppers
Since I discovered how tasty grilled or roasted red peppers are, I have included them in my diet quite a lot, which is good as they are very nutritious. Of course, they are lovely for anybody to eat but as a vegetarian I am glad to have discovered …
Little Debbie Honey Bun
I had never really been a Honey Bun fan until recently when I was given a honey bun at a friend’s house as a breakfast food item. I should say off the bat, these things aren’t good for you. I don’t remember the exact numbers but I remember thinking …
Sunnyside Farms Vanilla Sandwiches
You know, back in the day, I really loved a good ice cream sandwich. That’s because they really were wonderful. I’m not sure what brand they were back then. Maybe Crystal made them, or perhaps some other company, but somewhere in the last 25 years, sandwiches …
Mrs. Freshley’s Vanilla Cupcakes
I am definitely a person that enjoys vanilla desserts and treats, and Mrs. Freshley’s Vanilla Cupcakes is a treat that I do enjoy having every now and then. While not fabulously rich in delicious vanilla flavor, I do find the cupcakes to have a satisfying taste and I like …
Mr Kipling Lemon Slices
I have bought these tempting little bites quite often as I trust the Mr Kipling brand and his ‘exceedingly good cakes’ and this is a familiar brand since childhood. I wish I could cut down on my munchies but although I love savory food I do like a …
Special K snack bar
Everyone is in a hurry at least once in a while, and it can be very convenient to just grab a quick snack as you run out the door, to eat later when you’re not in so much of a hurry. One such snack that you could try is …
365 Plain Greek Yogurt (32 oz)
Last time I went to Whole Foods, they were out of my favorite brand of Greek yogurt - Greek Gods plain - and I really wanted to get some for breakfast for the next week. I’ve tried several other brands at Whole Foods and not been impressed (including Oikos …
Irn Bru by Barr (a Scottish soda import)
Today I got to experience a soft drink from Scotland while having lunch at a new British-styled Fish and Chips shop. I already had English tea, but wanted something more. This particular brand was the only thing they had that was diet. They carry no products that originate in …
Folger’s Vanilla Biscotti Coffee
Without fail, I begin each day with a hot cup of coffee. Over the years I’ve tried countless varieties and Folger’s Vanilla Biscotti is one of the best.
So many pre-ground coffees tend to dry out while they are on shelves in the grocery store or in …
Arizona Blueberry White Tea
I’m not normally a person who tries new beverages; especially when it comes to “flavored” teas. I like tea in general but have never been a fan of teas that offer some sort of fruit flavor as well as its natural taste.
However, my wife recently picked up some Blueberry …
McDonald’s Shaker Fries
I really enjoy eating french fries; more so if it is flavored with cheese, barbeque or sour cream. Mc Donald’s offers a good flavored fries which they call shaker fries. You can order this fries separately for Php50.00 (it was only Php48.00 last 2 weeks) or upsize your value …
Yoplait Light Yogurt is the best yogurt
With most yogurts in the marketplace, the calories are usually high, taste is lacking, and the health benefits aren’t always there. Yoplait Light fat free yogurt offers the taste and right amount of sweetness for 100 calories per serving. You simply can not find anything in the …
Gardenia White Bread Classic
I seldom eat breakfast. If ever I would, it’s something light like bread and chocolate drink. This is of the reasons why I don’t miss out on buying bread every time I go to the groceries because it’s something that I can just grab for a quick meal or …
Nature’s Path: Blueberry Toaster Pastry
I prefer the Nature’s Path: Blueberry Toaster Pastry compared to the Nature’s Path: Frosted Blueberry Toaster Pastry. The reason I prefer the non-frosted over the frosted is because the non-frosted variety allows me to better appreciate and enjoy the blueberry flavor. Speaking of the blueberry flavor, I find the …
Republic of Tea Blackberry Sage Full Leaf Loose Tea
The Republic of Tea is known for making high-quality teas in a variety of natural flavor combinations. Blackberry Sage is a black tea with layered notes of blackberries and sage leaves. It seems an
unlikely combination of ingredients, but this delicately-flavored, all-natural tea is delightful by itself, in the morning, …
Minute Maid Pulpy Orange
There are a lot of fruit juices circulating in the market today. One of my favorites would be Coca Cola’s Minute Maid Pulpy Orange. A bottle of one liter of this delicious juice only costs $1. I know that this is not comparable to the freshly squeezed juice that …
Crystal Farms Swiss Cheese
I was in the mood for Swiss cheese last night so I decided to stop off at the store to buy some. I wanted a cheaper brand of it and, since the store brand was already sold out (apparently others had the same idea I did), I ended up …
Pillsbury Gluten Free Thin Pizza Dough
I tried Pillsbury Gluten Free Thin Pizza Dough because I had a coupon for a free tub of it. I have to say that this product is very different from normal pizza dough. First off when I opened the package the dough was in one lump and …
Daiya dairy-free provolone style slices
Have you ever wondered what all those substitutes for cheese, meat, poultry, sausage, ice-cream taste like? I’m not vegan and I’m not dairy-free, but I’ve always wondered whether those things taste legit or not. I might not remember what real beef tastes like, but I do know the taste of …
Wendy’s Sea Salt French Fries
I recently went to Wendy’s the other day and I noticed that they had a sign that said. “Natural Cut Sea Salt Fries.” It also said that they were fresh cut with Russet potatoes. This had me believe that they were made with better ingredients and that of …
Stouffer’s Frozen Food - Spaghetti with Meatballs
Stouffer’s Frozen Food - Spaghetti with Meatballs is a product I’ve purchased for several years now. I’m a spaghetti fiend and am always searching for good and easy spaghetti to prepare.
Stouffer’s is actually the first frozen food brand that I ever liked. Until their products came out, …
Great Value Tomato Condensed Soup
I have been using Great Value Tomato Condensed Soup for quite a while. Usually, we don’t eat it as soup, I use it for cooking other dishes, like hamburger pie, or as meatball sauce. The soup comes in a 10.75 oz metal can. Cooking directions are provided on the …
Denny’s Country-Fried Steak & Eggs
When my boyfriend and I were in Los Angeles to view an art exhibit, we decided to stop at Denny’s for a cheap breakfast. We decided to share the Country-Fried Steak & Eggs because it sounded like too much food for one person —“ two steaks with gravy, …
Kit-Kat the candy bar
The kit-Kat bar is not a bad candy bar to chow down on and there are many reasons why I like this particular candy bar and maybe like one negative thing I can mention but even that isn’t really bad. I love that the wafer bit is crunchy and …
Tescos Chunky Chilli Soup
A soup that I discovered in Tesco a couple of years ago is a Tesco branded Chunky Chilli Soup. I love it, but it’s important to not be fooled by the name here. Chunky Chilli suggests that you are in for something hot and yet that could not really …
HP Fruity Sauce
If you’re anything like me you love a bit of sauce with your food. I suppose my favourite it tomato ketchup, but I have now found an alternative, which as well as being a sauce and be used for other things as well.
HP Fruity sauce is mild and tangy, …
Morton Kosher Salt
I have been cooking practically my whole life with regular table salt. I’ve actually just recently started cooking again. I come across recipes all the time that call for kosher salt to be used and I always ignore this and continue with my regular salt.
Finally I caved. I …
