Pepperidge Farm Ginger Man Home Style Cookies
Little gingerbread man cookies are almost as closely associated with Christmas as the candy cane is, or perhaps equally so, so it’s no wonder that this type of Christmas cookie commonly appears in holiday movies and in kitchens across the world come the Christmas season. Not everyone though enjoys …

McCormick Mild Taco sauce
I make tacos a lot and I have tried several different sauces but I certainly have to say that my most favorite taco sauce is McCormick Mild Taco Sauce. This sauce is sold in a package and I usually pay about 1 dollar for the package. McCormick …
Caribbean Spices Ground Black Pepper
I know they say black pepper is something you shouldn’t use a lot of but I like to marinate my fish and shrimp with just some black pepper, or add a dash into my soups and spaghetti sauce. There is just something noticeably missing when I don’t have this …
Kellogg’s All-Bran Bran Buds
I did not care for this cereal very much. In terms of flavor, there is very little to taste and what I do taste is on the dull side. I know that this cereal is intended to be healthy, but there are other healthy cereals on in the grocery …
Triscuit Garlic & Parmesan crackers
There was once a time when I absolutely hated Triscuit crackers. I always saw them on the commercials and they looked so good. But when I was younger, I tried them and was so disappointed by how much “texture” they had. Ironically, it is …
Options Belgian Choc Instant Hot Chocolate Drink
I used to like these instant Options drinks but I went mad buying sachets of this the last time I went to the supermarket and I am not so enamoured by them. They are only 37 calories per drink so maybe for a very low calorie hot chocolate …
Kellog’s Raisin Brand
Kellog’s Raisin Brand is one of my favorite cereals now that I am a bit older. I think Kellog’s Raisin Brand is great because it tastes good, and it also is a very good cereal overall. I really like that this cereal is also very healthy for you. I …

Lucky Me Instant Noodles
Of all the instant noodles here in the Philippines, I think Lucky Me Instant Noodles is the most popular. Well, I’ve practically tasted all the local brands and I would say Lucky Me is superior in taste and quality. I’m not really a regular eater of instant noodles because …
Food Pride Hamburger Buns
I had to pick up some hamburger buns last night (we were having hamburgers) and ended up stopping off at our local Food Pride store. I didn’t want to spend too much money on something like that and ended up getting the store brand for just 89 cents.
They were …
Primo Wholewheat Pasta
I love to eat pasta, but with the carb-concern these days I can’t help but look for a healthier alternative. It’s safe to say that my search was over once I discovered Primo Grainwise Wholewheat Pasta.
There are several reasons why I think this pasta is much better than …
Sunnyside Vanilla Sandwiches
Sunnyside Farms produces a lot of foods for Bel Air Markets. Sometimes they do well, and sometimes not so well. After purchasing their vanilla sandwiches over many years, I can firmly say that these sandwiches are simply okay.
I purchase Sunnyside Farms vanilla sandwiches because they are economically …
Tim Tams White biscuits
I’ve always enjoyed eating Arnott’s Tim Tam biscuits since I was a little kid, and after not having them for a few years, I decided to buy a packet while I was at the grocery store recently. To my surprise, I noticed that they’d added many new …
Cheerios cereals

Quaker Rice Cakes Savoury Tomato and Basil
It used to be that buying and eating rice cakes was like buying and eating flaked up and pressed together cardboard, to be brutally honest. But now that there are new flavours and slightly better textures, it’s actually a convenient and edible snack. Okay, so it always was edible, …
Campbell’s Chicken Noodle Soup
Campbell’s is a trusted maker of soups and I have been eating their products since I was a child. As expected, they have also been adapting their products towards more healthy eating trends, which is why they now offer soups with lower calories and lower levels of sodium.
My …
Little Debbie Glazed Cake Donut
The Little Debbie Glazed Cake Donut is nothing special really. In fact, the word “nothing” has far more relevance to this donut than the word “special”, that is for sure. The donut has a relatively light sugar glaze around it. The donut itself though did not taste as fresh …
Grandi Rum chocolate bars
I went to Getro and there I saw these Grandi Rum chocolate bars. Grandi is a Getro brand and I really don’t like shop brands because they are often of a very lousy quality. I’ve tried a bunch of Grandi stuff and I can’t really say that I liked …
Hersheys Kisses - Caramel Centers
I saw a bag of Hershey Kisses on the shelf at Fry’s Food Store the other day. I was particularly drawn to it since I was not aware kisses came with caramel centers. Being that caramel is one of my favorites I was curious how the caramel would be …

Bragg Organic Apple Cider Vinegar
I’ve been hearing a lot about the health benefits of Bragg Organic Apple Cider Vinegar so I was convinced to try using this product in my cooking instead of the ordinary clear vinegar we have in the market although this is of course comparatively much more expensive. I think …
Bareman’s Orange Juice
I have always been a big fan of orange juice and just lately I can’t seem to get enough of it. I do think there are differences in brands and types and can sometimes be quite picky about which ones I choose. Occasionally I even mix a little …
Neuro Drinks - Neuro Sleep
I am all about vitamin therapy and using things naturally occurring to help in sleep, pain relief, and whatever other problems that may arise. So of course, Neuro Drinks are right up my alley. There are so many kinds, both non carbonated and lightly carbonated, containing vitamins to aid …
Monster Energy Drinks
I am a fan of energy drinks, and I am all the time trying new ones. So far Red Bull has remained the best, that is of course until I ran across Monster energy drinks. Monster has it all: they pack more of an energy punch and …
Friendly Farms Whipped Topping

It, along with the Fit & Active brand, are the cheapest whipped toppings that I’ve come across, except when stores such as Walmart or Kroger place whipped toppings on sale. Sometimes …
Ritter Sport Biscuit plus Nuts
I bought several different Ritter Sport chocolates when they were on discount, about a month ago, I eat one and put them in the kitchen cupboard and completely forgot about them. Yesterday I really wanted to eat something sweet and I remembered that all those chocolates were in the cupboard. …
Whole Foods 365 Organic Everyday Value Pie Crust
I tried Whole Foods 365 Organic Everyday Value Pie Crust once when it was on sale. The regular price is nearly three dollars and I am real glad that I did not pay regular price! Now the pie crust is not terrible, it is actually pretty decent, but it …
Natural American Spirit cigarettes
Good or bad, I am a smoker that enjoys a good cigarette. For years, I smoked name-brands such as Marlboros and Camel products. Then one day, a friend passed me a cigarette I had never heard of. It was a “Natural American Spirit” non-filter. At first I thought it …
Dream Whip
Dream whip is a whipped topping mix which is similar to Cool Whip. I have passed by this product many times on the supermarket shelf but was reluctant to try it because frankly I don’t like Cool Whip and thought the Dream Whip would be just like it.
One …
Nestea Zero
I seen the Nestea Zero commercial on T.V., and it stated that it had no calories and no sugar, and that it tasted the same as the original Nestea. I really didn’t think I would like it the first time I tried it. But I finally gave it a …
Brownberry Country White Bread
My wife did some grocery shopping yesterday and, since I told her to pick up some lunch meat while she was at the store, she also picked up a couple loaves of bread.
Normally, we have a few brands we choose from when shopping for bread. But, the store apparently …
Pepperidge Farm Milano Mint Distinctive Cookies
I confess that I have not eaten these cookies in years. But I remember when a friend offered one to me many years ago, and they were delicious! This is an oblong cookie that is in the form of a sandwich. (Think of an Oreo cookie.) In between the …

If you live with a diabetic like I do you know that sugar and carbs are difficult to stay away from. These juices are sweetened with Splenda therefore they contain 75% less sugar and what sugars they do have is from the fruit itself. These juices also all under …
Nalley’s Garlic, Dill & Onions Petites
Nalley’s “Garlic, Dill & Onions Petites” are a very good small pickle with lots of flavor that are available for a pretty good price. I think they are very similar to their, more expensive French cousins, the cornichon, but are more readily available and usually about half the price.
I think …

Sunchips (French Onion Flavor)
I absolutely love the French Onion Sun Chips! I also like their garden salsa flavor a lot too! If you are looking to lose weight and/or eat healthier, then I highly recommend Sun chips. They are multigrain chips unlike most other chips which are fried, oily, full of fat …
Healthy Choice Pumpkin Squash Ravioli
I was interested in trying some frozen entrees from the All Natural Entrees line that Healthy Choice has newly-created. When Wal-Mart had them on sale, I bought almost all of them, including the Pumpkin Squash Ravioli. I’ve never had ravioli stuffed with something other than cheese or …
Chick-fil-A Chick-n-Strips
One of the reasons that I do not feel as guilty about eating chicken at Chick-fil-A is because they use refined peanut oil to cook their chicken products. That is definitely a healthier way to prepare fried chicken! The Chick-fil-A Chick-n-Strips are no exception, and they too are prepared …
Campbell Condensed Soup Bean with Bacon
Campbell is that brand with the red and white label,that automatically catches my eye whenever I am browsing though the grocery store. There’s so many different ones to choose from that sometimes find myself conflicted on what to get. Usually what like to get is the condensed soups like …
D Gourmet Muesli 400g
I have only tried having muesli for breakfast recently, but in this month alone, I have already consumed two boxes of D Gourmet. I have tremendous faith in the D Gourmet brand.
It’s not because their health products are made in the United Kingdom. It’s the noticeable quality …
Jelly Belly Lollibeans
I fully admit to having a love of Jelly Belly jellybeans. They were the first (and maybe only) company to make Dr. Pepper flavored jellybeans and they have a lot of flavors that you just can’t find anywhere else. They are now making suckers, which they call Lollibeans. I …
Progresso Chicken Pot Pie Soup
I have heard a lot about Progresso soup and how healthy it is for people who are trying to fill their tummy’s and stay fit while watching their weight as well. Unfortunately, the Chicken Pot Pie Progresso soup is neither tasty or something that I would call filling. I …
Roddenberry’s Northwoods: Original Syrup
Roddenberry’s Northwoods: Original Syrup is a syrup that I have only been able to find at one or two grocery stores. It is definitely a syrup that is not so easy to find! The reason I wanted to find it was because I had a pretty good coupon that …
