DAK Fully Cooked Premium Ham
I have been buying DAK Fully Cooked Premium Ham for quite some time, I really like this product. It is canned ham, very tender and soft, with added water that turns into jelly on the sides (my cat adores it). It is inexpensive, only $2.78, and fully cooked: all …

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 …
Little Debbie Creme-Filled Orange Cupcakes
These Little Debbie Creme-Filled Orange Cupcakes really are not all that bad. Be prepared for a slight sharp flavor when your first bite into one of these! The orange flavor is really quite strong and good as well as authentic, and the cupcakes themselves are fresh, moist and fluffy. …
Champagne Truffle Hershey Kisses
I’ve been following the Hershey Kisses lineup for awhile now because they keep releasing different varieties. I love the original Hershey Kisses because they provide that little dose of chocolate that I sometimes need to get me through the day and they aren’t full of calories if you limit …
Kix Cereal
Kix, the cereal that comes in a box the color of happiness is, with a glass of orange juice and a banana, the greatest breakfast made by Man. I say this for many reasons - Kix taste awesome in a humble, unassuming way. They have great crunchy …
Spring Fresh Farm Eggs
I usually buy a particular brand of eggs at the grocery store but I decided to try the Spring Fresh Farm brand of eggs because they did not have any of the brand I usually buy and I wanted to bake when I got home.
Now I found that these …
Cherry Vanilla Dr Pepper
When Dr Pepper first introduced the Cherry Vanilla variety, I bought a 20-ounce bottle without even thinking about what I was doing. There was no fear that this soft drink could taste bad or otherwise disappoint me. I grew up drinking Dr Pepper, so I’m fairly loyal to the …
Harmoney Mint handkerchifs
I usually buy handkerchiefs from Paloma or Foxy, Scottex, Tender or something like that but the other day I went to Lidl and there they have so many thing that aren’t of any popular brand but they are good anyway.
So I bought this packet of handkerchiefs for less …
Stagg Chili Country Brand with Beans
Stagg, I’d like to note in passing, has started putting their chili out in a cardboard Smart Pak, which is probably cheaper than cans and easier to open too - but you do need scissors or a knife.
The County Brand is decently flavorful, and seems to use good meat …
Jays OKeDoke Buttery Popcorn
I bought a large bag of 8 oz bag of popcorn at a local store for $2.99 for a party that I was running late to. I poured the popcorn into a bowl, set it on the food table and left to mingle with others. The bag wasn’t flimsy. …

I’ve always like crackers with an orginal taste, these crackers are definently up there with my favorites! I was looking for a cracker similar to these but I could not find them so I went with these crackers. They were new and on an end- cap, the picture on …
Yogurtland (Berkeley, CA)
Yogurt Land was a place that I had often heard of, but I assumed it was because it was a new place and people who were “yogurt crazy,” but did not trust that it was legitimately good. When I first tried it however, I was proven wrong. First of …
Coca Cola versus Pepsi
A common question that is asked when getting to know someone is “Which do you like better- Coca Cola or Pepsi Products?” My answer is always Pepsi, and I will tell you why.

I’ve written a review in the past for Marie Callender’s Cornbread and it is yummy, but I saw this one recently and decided to give it a try. Overall, I have to give Betty Crocker Authentic Cornbread & Muffin Mix a good review. One of the reasons …
Goya Dark Chocolate (38 grams)

Sugar Crisp Cereal
Sugar Crisp was, and probably still is, my favorite cereal as a child. While my sister liked Froot Loops, and they are fantastic, Sugar Crisp just won me over. My sister was never quite as sold on Sugar Crisp, although, I do believe that she is coming around to …
Istanbul Express Lamb Doner with Rice
Istanbul Express is one of our favourite restaurant destinations in Hong Kong. They have a lot of authentic Turkish dishes such as Shawarma, Kebabs, Lamb, etc. However, I will just focus on one dish that they serve and this is my favourite: the Lamb Doner with rice meal.
This …

Lean Cuisine Salmon with Basil Frozen Entree
I really like this entrée. I continually find that Lean Cuisine has great offerings and knows how to both make typically “unhealthy” meals healthy, and knows how to make healthy meals taste great that might not otherwise would. Their Salmon with Basil Frozen Entrée is an example, in my …
Blue Bunny Champ Champ! Strawberry Ice Cream Cones
Blue Bunny Champ Champ! Strawberry Ice Cream Cones is not quite as rich in delicious strawberry flavor as the premium double strawberry ice cream made by Blue Bunny, but I nonetheless found the cone to be enjoyable. Pretty much everything about this cone possesses a strawberry flavor. The ice …

Mother’s energy drink
Mother’s is a caffinated energy drink that is availiable here in Australia. Having been a bit addicted to energy drinks since I was in highschool I thought I’d give this one a try. I do very much like it. Mother’s is sweeter than a lot of other energy drinks, …
Tecate Beer
I haven’t drank that much Tecate Beer in my life. But the few times that I had the honor of partaking of this fine beer I must say I enjoyed! Now Tecate Beer is a very good tasting Mexican beer. This is a great beer to drink at parties or …
Mrs. Freshley’s SnackAway Yogurt Creme Cakes
I did not care too much for Mrs. Freshley’s SnackAway Yogurt Creme Cakes because they reminded me too much of Hostess Twinkies in both texture and taste and I really do not like Twinkies! The cake itself is soft, and although I normally do not mind soft cake, I …

Horlicks lite is a health drink but not for kids and it is made especially for adults. As the name itself describes the health drink is very very low in its calories and is very good for those who want to reduced the excess weight and yet want …
Mrs. Freshley’s Blueberry Cheese Danish
I really was not all that impressed with Mrs. Freshley’s Blueberry Cheese Danish. The reason I was not impressed is because the blueberry flavor was not nearly as terrific as I had hoped that it would be. Although there was most certainly a blueberry flavor to the danish, the …
Tang Fruit Punch Drink Mix
Last Wednesday, I was looking for a fairly cheap drink mix to buy in the supermarket, since I wasn’t sure there was any drink at home to have with my dinner. I also wanted one with sugar pre-added to it, since I was also unsure of whether or not …
San Marco Cake
One of my duties to my family during the preparation of the holiday meals is to make sure that we have a really special dessert. My family usually carefully reviews and rates the desserts served on the table, and when I choose a dessert that fails, it makes me …
Golden Flake vs Walkenbach
I have never been a pretzel person until recently, and don’t really know what brought me to pretzels. My husband has always loved them and wanted me to eat them too and I would take a couple and then be like “Well I really don’t like pretzels.”
Then, I …
Belmont Premium Ice Cream Pumpkin Pie Ice Cream
Ice cream comes in so very many flavors nowadays, but come the autumn season, I tend to buy pumpkin-flavored ice cream the most because this isn’t something that is available for sale year-round. Pumpkin ice cream isn’t usually too difficult to find in October and November, as a variety …
Del Monte Quality Fresh Cut Whole Kernel Corn
When I bought this brand of tinned corn, I was actually thinking of adding it to the dinner so the food could be more plentiful, but in the end I ended up using it at a later date. When I used it I remember being fairly satisfied with the …

Silk Egg Nog
Before I was diagnosed as a lactose intolerant, I used to always enjoy drinking egg nog around the holidays. This year Silk put out a soy egg nog, which I purchased and decided to give it a try.
I have to say that although this did have the traditional egg …
Power Root Per’l Cafe Instant Coffeemix
A couple of months back, I used to drink coffee with ginseng to enhance vitality, especially when you feel lethargic. But I stopped drinking them because I was trying to cut down on grocery expenses. And these packeted coffeemix can be quite expensive.
However, I had a chance to pop …
Pop Weaver Butter Popcorn
It’s too bad I’m not really that crazy about the flavor of this popcorn because I like that this popcorn is made with canola oil. Since it’s made with canola oil, there’s not quite as much saturated fat and there’s even some good things to be found in this …
Slow Cooker Creamy Corn Chowder and Ice Cream Sandwiches
We love a good bowl of soup, especially in the winter time. But there are sometimes that we need a quick meal that I can throw in the slow cooker and be done when I need it. This is a yummy meal that our family has made in so …
Mountain Dew Energy
Considering the popularity of energy drinks such as Red Bull, it should come as no surprise that Mountain Dew is jumping on the energy drink bandwagon. Their offering, Mountain Dew Energy, has this to their advantage: the price. While Red Bull and similar products are all over-priced, …
Kroger Lite Ranch Salad Dressing
Compared with “regular” ranch salad dressing, the Kroger Lite Ranch Salad Dressing has fewer calories and significantly less fat. It’s not devoid of either, but it has fewer of both for those that are watching just how many calories and how much fat they consume but still want to …
Pillsbury Crescent Rolls
Pillsbury Crescent rolls are a staple in my house. They are easy to cook, require very little mess, and are done in a matter of minutes. I love that I can just take a can of these out of the refrigerator and in 10 minutes have flakey rolls …
Kool Aid
The first time I heard about the American instant drink Kool Aid was when I was still a child in the nineteen nineties. I am still not completely sure as well as to whether it just came in the island at that time, however, I could remember thinking after …
Marie Callender’s Swedish Meatballs & Pasta
I followed directions on the package to boil the separate inner packets for thirty minutes - and they broke open in the boiling water. Next time, I tried microwaving them (the alternate method listed on the package), and a pool of thin liquid filled the bottom of the bowl. …
Amul Ice Creams
Amul ice creams are too much tasty and delicious and they have a lot of varieties and many flavours. Once I just tasted Amul ice creams such then I have just become the fan of them. My child loves to have it. The butterscotch and vanilla, …
M.Y. San Sky Flakes Crackers
When it comes to crackers I think one of the best tasting is M.Y. San Sky Flakes. Apart from crispy bite, this cracker is has unique tastiness not common to all crackers. Some crackers are dry and bland and hardly enjoyable to take but M.Y. San Sky Flakes Craker …
Yoplait Strawberry
Yoplait Strawberry is another one of my top favorites of yogurt, along with the French Vanilla and Banana Creme varieties. The reason this variety ranks high with me is because I really like strawberries - be it just strawberries themselves, or strawberry ice cream or strawberry shortcake, whatever. If …
Red Baron Pizza by the Slice
Product Description: Red Baron frozen pizza sold in single-serve slices that can be microwaved. My wife bought this for around $3.50 yesterday.
