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 …

Sometimes I like adding a slice of lemon into my tea, and sometimes I don’t have any lemon around. That’s when Bigelow I Love Lemon & C Herb Tea comes in handy.
The tea has very pleasant, natural lemony taste. It comes in a box that has 20 tea bags …

I remember the first time eating Subway’s Teriyaki Chicken Sandwich. My grandpa had suggested that I try this particular sandwich and I have never regretted it!

I am not so hot on these Ridged Tortillas from the McCoy’s brand, but they are edible. I think when I saw them I thought they were the brand I tried before which I liked but these were not as nice as the other brand. Just so …

It’s been a while since I’ve purchased hot cocoa, but since I’m economizing by keeping my heat off most of the time, I thought I’d get some more to help warm me up during those colder moments of the day and/or night. I decided to purchase Nestle Hot …

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, …

This potato ring snack is one of my favorite junk foods. Its cheddar cheese flavor makes me crave for it over and over again. It is a healthy snack because it is fortified with Vitamin A and Iron. It has Sangkap Pinoy seal and accepted by Department of Health …

Lurpak is an excellent butter, the taste of which I have been familiar with all my life as my mum used to put Lurpak on our jacket potatoes. She did believe in getting good butter in. Lately, I have stopped buying these spreads and ‘like butter but …

While over an relative’s house, I was given the opportunity to try pre-made frozen egg rolls from minh. As with many people, I like to either make my own egg rolls fresh from scratch or get them from Jack in the box. I can honestly say that Minh has …

Betty Crocker - Original Supreme Brownies are really rich brownies that are enriched with real Hershey’s chocolate. Enriched is most certainly the right word because the Hershey’s chocolate does indeed makes its presence known in these brownies! This gives the brownies a slightly different flavor than the other brownie …

Log Cabin: Country Kitchen Butter Syrup is slightly better than the original variety, although the syrup is still not as good as the original Log Cabin syrup. What separates this syrup from the other Log Cabin varieties is the addition of butter to the recipe. There is a real …

These mini pretzels aren’t bad really, but I have on a couple of occasions found myself with a stale bag even though the expiration date hasn’t yet arrived or is anywhere near to arriving. In those instances though I just return the pretzels to the Dollar Tree and they …

I’ve always been a fan of the tortilla chip, especially when dipped in salsa. For years I have blindly been purchasing Tostitos tortilla chips by default, and it as only been until recent times that a realized what a large mistake I had been making.
Tostitos are not good! Whenever …

While browsing my local health food store a few weeks ago, I came across Yogourmet’s kefir powder and decided to try it. I’ve tried store-bought kefir in North America, and it tastes nothing like the product I remember drinking in Eastern Europe. I was very excited to try the …

My daughter loves Gerber Graduates. She no longer is a baby, even though she is a little older now, she still, every now and then gets hankering for the peach cobbler. I must admit, in trying it myself, I have enjoyed it. It tastes just like …

America’s Choice Tomato Ketchup is not my choice of ketchup, and I am an American! This is one American that is sure he is not alone in saying that this ketchup is not all that good and could definitely stand some revolutionary improvement. What is it about this ketchup …

I am not a good home cook. I prefer packaged foods simply because it is easier to prepare. I don’t have to go to all the trouble. The only problem is that I like the taste of homemade lasagna better. Since I don’t have the time nor the …

I ordered the number 2 medium combo with no tomatoes which is one turkey …

I didn’t care too much for these waffles. I decided to give them a try because of the heart-healthy whole grains being a major ingredient in these waffles, but what bothered me about them is they tasted saltier than the waffles I’m used to, namely the Kroger Multigrain Waffles. …

This cream liquour is made of fresh milk and an exotic fruit called marula. This fruit, that I didn’t know beforehand, seems to have a lot of vitamine c. More important than that, mixed with milk makes an unique mix with a soft and delicious taste.

Pringles Select Potato Crisps - Parmesan Garlic features a flavor that is good, although could be delicious if improved. Neither the Parmesan nor the garlic flavors are quite strong enough for my tastes. Although I am not prepared to call them dull, the flavor is still not quite real …

Whole grain wheat cereal certainly isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. I know of family and friends that find shredded wheat cereal to be dry and unpleasant in texture. I will say it’s not my favorite kind of cereal, either, but I like it enough to have on occasion. It’s …

V is a carbonated drink that is designed to give you energy. It comes in four different varieties in different colored cans. Even though I’m a bit of a soft drink addict, I can’t say I like V all that much - it’s just ok, but certainly not my …

Truly, besides coffee, tea also makes my day. When I am having headache, or stomach pains, I drink tea and will fade after a while. I rely on Lipton when it comes to tea. It is one of the best tasting teas in the market. It has been ten …

There were two reasons why I purchased the Edy’s Vanilla ice cream: First, I had previously tried one of their other flavors and I had been quite satisfied; second, I have not had a lot of great experiences with vanilla ice cream and I wanted to give Edy’s a …

Cheesy tots are one of my absolute favorite foods in the world, which is why I’m glad Burger King makes them an all day offering. The first time I had them was when they were released as a specialty item in some parts of the country as a test. …

I’ve been watching my weight lately and so I’ve been trying a LOT of the different “diet dinners” in the frozen food section. One of the more tasty dinners I’ve found is the Lean Cuisine Alfredo Pasta with Chicken and Broccoli.
Getting a frozen alfredo type dish …

More often than not, when I purchase microwavable popcorn from the store, I end up finding the “butter tasting” or “movie theater butter” or “extra butter” text on the packaging to be inconsistent with my expectations. The packaging claims butter flavor, I expect butter flavor, but end up not …

I’ve always been a fan of Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) but one food on the menu makes KFC my favorite fast food restaurant there is and that food is popcorn chicken, it is my favorite KFC food on the menu. I like it because it is boneless (unlike Chicken …

Wendy’s - Triple Stack is not quite as flavorful as the Double Stack. The reason? Although a third hamburger patty is added to the sandwich, at the same time, toppings are removed. Both the pickles and onions get the boot on the this sandwich and that is definitely disappointing …

This is a great tasting water that was made in Canada. I live in Canada so I can say with pride that this brand is far better than some of the bigger company brands such as Nestle, Dasani, and Aberfoyle. Firstly, REAL CANADIAN sells its water for a lower …

My sister is always trying to get me to drink green tea. We are a relatively health-conscious family, and she loves to preach the benefits of green tea. And with everything she says, I do feel compelled to take it up —“ but the truth is, I …

Giada De Laurentis is one of my favorite Food Network stars, so I was really excited to try out her line of sauces and oils at Target. While I am a big fan of most of them, this sun-dried tomato pesto is definitely not one I will be buying …

Okay, I admit it. I’m a cookie dough fiend. Half the fun of using dough to make cookies is eating the dough while you’re laying it out on the cookie sheet to be baked. Just be careful, though — too much dough can really do you …

These were without a doubt one of the most disgusting things I’ve ever ate in my life. I’m a twenty something woman who knows how great an icy cold margarita can be after a hard day. I’ve also been known to do a few tequila shots with my friends …

I usually buy some three liters of soda that are Shoppers value instead of the regular two liters. They are cheaper and you get more soda in them. With all of the necessity items going up in the prices I have to watch how much I spend. So I …
