I am a heavy tea drinker. I think that I drink an entire pitcher of tea in the winter and even more during the hotter months of the year. My favorite tea is Lipton tea bags. I like the convenient 100 count boxes and they are …

These chocolate chip cookies just aren’t as delicious or soft as Grandma’s Homestyle Big Cookie Chocolate Chip cookies. That being said, I did enjoy these cookies and they were well-worth a dollar for eight at the Dollar Tree. The chocolate chip cookies had a good flavor to them, both …

Great Value: Hot Dog Buns, admittedly are not the largest or strongest hot dog buns that are available in the grocery store, but still, I find them to be a relatively good value. First, the complaints: the hot dog buns are on the small side. This means if you …

Healthy choice has reinvented their frozen meal line with new and exciting flavors. The cuisine ranges from Italian to Chinese, each sounding like a gourmet concoction. I love Chinese food but you can’t have it every day because it’s so fattening. I decided to try the …

I love the Flamin Hot brand by Lays. The Flamin Hot Funyuns are so very delicious! I have always loved Funyuns as a child and now as an adult. And now they have combined my favourite chips with the Flamin Hot brand and flavour. I do …

These new cigarettes went on sale last week in my hometown for $20 a carton. Normally, I don’t smoke menthols except on occasion but I couldn’t resist the price. For less than $3 a pack though, they are well worth the price.
They are shorter than regular smokes, but not …

For years, I’ve been buying Orville Redenbacher’s microwave popcorn. My favorite is the movie theater flavor, but I also like the butter one. I’ve tried various other flavors; they are always good.
However, in the last year-and-a-half, there’s been a decline in Orville’s popcorn, and it’s really frustrating …

Almost everyone loves chocolates-I know I do! So my mum brought home some chocolates. It was given yo her by a friend. Since my mom is diabetic she can’t eat much. So I chowed down on them once I got hold of it.
These Chocolates look cute. They are shaped …

Most chewing gums are either way too sweet, get “old” too fast, or taste very artificial. Wrigley’s has found a way to conquer all three of these chewing caveats by producing a line of gum called Orbit. The packs are small, cost in the neighborhood of a …

I try not to drink anything with High Fructose Corn Syrup in it, or too many artificial flavorings, so sometimes finding soda I can drink can be quite a task. I tried Private Selection Sparkling Soda (Lime-Cranberry) out because I saw bottles of it at the store and it …

Although I adore hazelnut creams I don’t like all of them. Nutella is the best of course, but you can find a few other hazelnut creams that are as good as Nutella. Unfortunately they didn’t put Nutella in this biscuit but they didn’t put anything like Nutella either.
The biscuit …

I am a big Chinese and Japanese food fan I especially enjoy a good miso soup. That is why when I saw this at the grocery store I knew that I had to buy it. I paid a little over $2.00 for it which was not too bad and …

My favorite candy has always been the York Peppermint Pattie. There had never been any thing that came close to it’s amazing taste until the Mint Three Musketeer was born. I found it one day around Christmas time as a holiday special. It was so excited to see a …

The Goldfish Baked Snack Crackers is a product by Pepperidge Farm.
I know that sodas can eventually be added to dishes to spread out flavor but I didn’t know crackers can actually be a match to spice up the flavor on dishes. I was really surprised when my friend bought …

Halloween is almost here again. Well, to be honest, it’s more than a month away at the time of this article’s writing, but already I’m craving my favorite Halloween treats. Usually I’m perfectly satisfied with generic and store brands, but Great Value candy corn was a disappointment.
In …

I have never been quite sure what milk roll is, but I have eaten it before as I like to try lots of different breads. I tried this milk roll from the Warburtons brand and I did enjoy it. This is a 400g loaf of white bread …

The Kitkat is such a simple chocolate bar, so when it launched the Kitkat chunky, it was a another great product extension. Always seen as the light chocolate bar, but perhaps some people saw it as not filling enough or even perhaps not manly enough as it was often …

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 …

One of the last yogurts that I bought was the “Yoplait Original Boston Creme Pie Yogurt.” While I knew that the Yoplait brand has some interesting yogurt flavours, I actually did not know that their “Boston Creme Pie” flavour existed until I actually saw it in the supermarket. Therefore, …

Out of the many branded diary products I use, Sanchi sweet milk is my favorite. Whenever I go for a jog, I always have at least one bottle of them, and at time two as well! Sanchi products are all delivered in authorized Sanchi dairy, which have many branches all …

I think IHOP Pancakes are pretty good, these things taste pretty good and they are pretty cheap. I went to IHOP for national pancake day and had some while I was there. So I am going to tell you about them. First of all they smell really good and …

I bought Viactiv Calcium Soft Chew in Chocolate flavor, to be exact, “new improved flavor” which in my opinion does not taste any different. It is still soft and chewy, but as a matter of fact, doesn’t even taste like chocolate at all, tastes more like caramel to be …

Most of us must have probably tried at least once the Halo Halo Fiesta of Chowking restaurant. Not that there is something special about it, honestly it is even more of an ordinary Filipino treat common even in the streets. Yes, this sweet dessert is available in most corners …

Although the Blue Bunny Champ! Chocolate Lovers Ice Cream Cones is not among my favorite variety of ice cream cone, I nonetheless enjoyed this chocolate treat to a limited extent. There is quite a lot of chocolate to be sampled by one’s taste buds: there is chocolate ice cream, …

Blue Bunny Cookies ‘N Cream Ice Cream Sandwich turned out to be quite a disappointing ice cream sandwich. What made the sandwich so disappointing? Well, there seemed to be very little flavor to enjoy here. For example, neither the vanilla nor the chocolate flavors did very much for my …

During my childhood, while going to school, salt prunes were a popular thing. Since my childhood days I haven’t eaten salt prunes much but I can tell you they come in a variety of saltiness, ranging from very salty to almost sweet…
The other day while I was going on …

This frozen dinner doesn’t even look like traditional lasagna. It’s not in a square or rectangular shape and it doesn’t have meat, either. This is a lasagna dish that’s all about the cheese and noodles. The blending of four cheeses is the highlight of this frozen dinner. There’s ricotta …

With the rising cost of cigarettes, I am looking for cheaper brands to fill in parts of the day. My Parliment Light 100’s are $45 per carton, and I have tried a few bargain brands to stretch my cigarette budget. Most of them are too strong and have a …

For anyone who enjoys cooking with wine, as I do, likely can relate to the issue of having opened bottles of wine losing their flavour and taste, and therefore either becoming undrinkable, or be too sour-tasting to cook with properly. While I must admit that I rarely have the …

I’m a little surprised I like this as much as I do, but I’ve enjoyed Farmer John Ham Steaks off and on for several years. The only reason I’m surprised is that it’s really not a brand I’ve heard of that often, aside from seeing a handful of …

These corn flakes are a bit of an unusual choice if you, like me, are generally the sort of person who sticks to either the supermarkets’ own brands or the traditional fall back of Kellogg’s. They are also fairly expensive, with my local Sainsbury’s supermarket selling only a smallish …

As a vegetarian, I am constantly searching for different sources of protein. Since I don’t know how to cook very well, my beans and tofu dishes end up tasting bland and void of flavor. Since I love crunchy snacks and cereals, this Kashi cereal was an ideal …

It was my first time yesterday to see Starbucks offering a Cookie Dough Cheesecake as on of its dessert selections. As I love cheesecake and cookie dough, it seemed only natural for me to order a slice which I shared with my friend. A slice cost Php105 …

The Great Value Cheddar Cheese Crunch comes in an eight point five ounce bag and retails for just under two dollars. As a snack food, these cheese puffs are moderately enjoyable. They’re a little less crunchy than potato chips because they’re kind of airy on the inside, but they …

Healthy Ones has the approval of the American Heart Association. It’s …

The Hunt’s Snack Pack Pudding Cups Vanilla come in a four pack for one dollar and ninety-nine cents. Although that works out to be about fifty cents per pudding cup, I don’t think these pudding cups are worth even that. Although I’m quite fond of vanilla, I don’t think …

Creat Value Cooked Ham comes in a plastic bag, easy to open and re-sealable. The 16 oz pack costs $3.24. The ham is 97% fat free, with some water added for better preservation. The product needs to be refrigerated. The ham is cut into medium-thick slices, very convenient for …

Like many of us, I am concerned about trans fats in my food, as well as curbing high cholesterol. As I get older - and not at the weight I wish I could be - this becomes even more of a concern. I have known for a while that …

I find Mrs. Freshley’s Swiss Rolls to be pretty much standard fare. By standard fare, I mean that there is nothing that really sets these Swiss Rolls apart from those made by other companies. In fact, Little Debbie offers a packaged variety of Swiss Rolls that have different fillings …

Trying this pizza proved one thing —“ you’ve got to spend money to get good pizza. I bought it because it was on sale for about a dollar, thinking that the cheap price will compensate for quality. But I was wrong. This was the WORST pizza …

Meats and cheeses sold at the deli counter in grocery stores can be pricey. That’s not to say some of the meats and cheeses aren’t worth the money and of course, it’s nice being able to have your meat or cheese sliced the way you like it, but if …
