This is another of those food cupboard staples that I try always to have at least a few units of in stock. Sainsbury’s, rather irritatingly to me, seem to have decided that cartons are a better way to sell these tomatoes than the traditional tins. I can understand that …

For a type of frozen potato, these baked potatoes aren’t bad at all. Two come in a box for almost three dollars and it’s a breeze to heat these baked potatoes up in the microwave. The potatoes, while not as soft or creamy as freshly baked potatoes, weren’t chalky …

I have a history of making lumpy gravies. I’ve tried sifting flour into it, adding little bits at a time etc and have not once succeeded in making a gravy that is lump free. Knowing how much I struggle with my gravies, my grandmother recommended trying Wondra …

I absolutely loved Cup Noodle when I was little and I still love them today. They were always quick, tasty and best of all cheap. Cup Noodle is awesome for between college classes or a quick break at work. I don’t recommend eating them all the time; it’s …

The Casa Mamita Beef & Bean Burrito can be found in the refrigerated case at ALDI Food Market stores for twenty-nine cents each. They are sold in single serve wrappers, which is kind of inconvenient if a person wants to purchase say four, five or six at a time. …

I admit the first time I get to taste Power Pops I was enthusiastic about it because this is the first time I get to taste hard rice that is sweet. Power Pops is a crispy chewy cereal snack with real butter and milk. It contains 100% cereal goodness …

Maggie tomato sauce is very different in its taste. There many kind of flavours in Maggie tomato sauces, such as hot red chilly, one with mint leaves, the regular sauce, etc. I have tasted all of them and I like all the tastes because they are just …

In the past, I have purchased several generic brands of products in an effort to save money on my grocery bill. I even now have favorite generic brands that I purchase items from often. However, I have never been crazy about the Always Save brand of products. I only …

Jell-o Gelatin - Apricot is a pretty decent flavor variety that I tend to get a taste for every once and a great while. The apricot flavor is pretty authentic and real and I like how with each spoonful, I am treated to a pretty rich explosion of apricot …

Honestly, Papa Johns Pizza is the best pizza in the world! I used to like pizza to a certain point, but I never *loved* it until I had tried Papa Johns. Pizza Hut used to be what I thought was good, freshly made pizza, but Papa Johns beats it …

Lasco is a brand that I can always count on to provide my family and me with the cheapest products. Nevertheless, I don’t usually think of all of them as the best tasting, but some of them are passable. Their green peas is one of them. I never bought …

I have got a thing for chocolate cheesecakes and having just devoured one of these chocolate muffin cheesecake wedges from Morrisons own brand, I am just in heaven. I had not tried this one before but it is absolutely gorgeous. The only thing is, the one thing …

The brightly coloured packaging of this range of ground coffees from Sainsbury’s Taste the Difference brand caught my eye and on closer inspection I saw that there was a choice of coffees with different flavours. I cannot remember the whole range, but they each have a different bright …

In my house, finding cheap side dishes that give us both quality and quantity is a must. Knorr’s newest product, Sides Plus Veggies, fits this category perfectly.
For only $1.50 at Wal-mart, the Sides Plus Veggies gives us plenty of food for our money. One pack is enough for our …

I like eating cookies a lot, and so far, Chips Ahoy are the most addictive cookies I have ever eaten. I wonder what is the ingredient that makes them so delicious, making me eat lots and lots without noticing.
I buy them in a 300 grams box, with two bags …

One of my favorite flavored herbal and spiced black teas to drink when I need a little pick me up in the morning and afternoon is Good Earth Organic Apricot Ginger Black Tea. It has a very light ginger and apricot flavoring that helps give the black tea some …

I love to eat soup and sandwiches. There is nothing like taking a bite of a sandwich and then a sip of soup! I discovered Quiznos a few years back in North Carolina. Little did I know that I was starting an addiction (just kidding). The sandwiches are amazing …

XS Energy are just great. They are loaded with vitamins C and B and they have low sugar and carbs. I really like these drinks because they don’t give you a bad crash like mainstream energy drinks. I also really like all the flavors they come in. I really …

Cheesecake is one of my favourite desserts, as long as it is a quality cheesecake, otherwise they can be a bit sickly. This Chocolate & Vanilla Cheesecake from Morrisons own brand is completely gorgeous for a shop-bought one. I usually only buy a two-slice packet but I …

Metromint - Peppermint Water is more or less about as good as hint peppermint water, and if I had to choose the better tasting flavored water, I do not think that I could. Much like the hint flavored water line, this water is also pretty pure and healthy. The …

I tried a different kind of beverage this time around from Best Taste Brand that is called Instant Ginger Honey Crystals. It’s a mix that can make either a hot or cold beverage, instantly. The product comes in a pretty big bag that has thirty individually wrapped packets. …

We often go to Robinson Supermarket to buy groceries and other stuffs and we always see this Bake and Churn Ice Cream Cake’s stall at the entrance part of the supermarket. I never tried buying any of these ice cream cakes because I thought to myself …

I am a big believer in the healing power of foods and thus I love trying all kinds of superfoods that promise to do all kinds of magic to your health/body/skin etc. One superfood I was particularly interested in is the Maca Powder.

First of all, let me quickly explain what …

I don’t know why but for some reason, Magnolia Ice Cream is not as delicious as before. They have developed new flavors and varieties but to compare it with the flavors a decade ago , I can say that ten years ago, the ice cream tasted much better even …

I love sardines both those produced locally and abroad. Just recently I bought some Spanish sardines in Australia. The product in placed inside an easy-to-open oblong tin can. It is easy to open so this is handy and very quick to prepare. I find it ideal when you travel …

These wafer snacks are a lot better than the chocolate wafers, also sold under the Fit & Active brand. Unlike the bland and somewhat unsatisfying chocolate wafers, the chocolate chip bits in these tiny cookies are sweet and rich. The wafer itself tastes a lot like the dough used …

For just three dollars and thirty-three cents, this frozen pizza made by Kroger and sold under the Private Selection brand name sounded just too good to pass up. The box that held the Premium Quality Private Selection Thin Crust Margherita Pizza stated that this pizza had three kinds of …

Swanson is one of those staple brands that I often times search for when browsing in the grocery store. Whenever I want to skip a step or two in making homemade dishes, Swanson is my goto brand. It effectively makes cooking a breeze.
Swanson has introduced into their line of …

I made a package of potato and onion pierogies from Kasia’s last night and was extremely disappointed by this product.
I had bought them expecting them to be convenient to make (they advertised themselves as heat and serve). Instead, I had to wait for them to thaw first. I was …

Stouffer’s Tuna Noodle Casserole is really quite enjoyable! There is a lot of flavor to be tasted here, ranging from the noodles to the tuna to the mushrooms and more! The peas, celery and oh so creamy sauce are fantastic, too! All of the ingredients in this casserole have …

I’m not usually a mayonnaise fan, but when i do decide to eat mayonnaise I always end up reaching for helmans. This is really a generally great tasting mayonnaise great for sandwiches, and egg salads and the like. The packaging lables them as “the real mayonnaise” I’m not exactly …

Sponge and custard is a favorite pudding of mine and takes me back to old school days so I picked up this Simpsons Syrup Sponge & Custard from my local bargain supermarket, but it truly was a disappointment. It comes in a can and you cook it in …

Peanut butter certainly isn’t the healthiest thing in the world to consume, but I think it’s one of the tastiest things in the world to eat! Limiting just how much peanut butter I eat can be on the difficult side, especially if I have a two pack of these …

If you have a sweet tooth, I think you will really enjoy the Big Texas Cinnamon Roll made by Cloverhill Bakery! One of these cinnamon rolls is like two and a half Pillsbury cinnamon rolls put together! It is big! Not only is it big in size, but it …

If you are interested in a delicious and inexpensive meal option, consider Maruchan Yakisoba Noodles meals. They come in a variety of flavors and are available in my local supermarket for less than a dollar each. You cannot find a meal that is much cheaper than that. …

Just a couple of weeks ago, I noticed that a new energy drink named “Boom” seemed to become popular in my country Jamaica. I didn’t know who the makers or manufacturers were, and I never saw it advertising either, so it appeared to have appeared out of nowhere to …

One day, I was looking for something to eat that was light—”something that would go well with an ordinary fried piece of chicken. It wasn’t until I got home that I realized that this was a “Lean Gourmet” kind of meal. This means that …

Twinkies Golden Sponge Cake is a snack that I used to enjoy more as a kid than I do as an adult. I used to like the sponge cake texture and taste, but now it kind of disgusts me. The creme on the inside is still pretty tasty and …

The glazed donuts from Winn Dixie are affordable and taste just as good if not better than donuts would taste if they were purchased at a shop like Dunkin Donuts. They come in a pack of eight for 2.99. People pay more than that for a dozen donuts at …

I gave these pastry crisps a try one day when sitting in class, listening to the teacher give a lecture. My friend shared them with me, as we both missed breakfast that morning. They were utterly new to me, I had previously never seen the product before. My friend …

I absolutely love tuna and I always make it at home in a completely different way. Definitely not tuna salad style. Either way, I was introduced to Tranquil’s Tuna Sandwich by one of my friends who was very accustomed to having them. They only come available in already sliced …

I am a huge coke fan however the sugar and caffeine do nothing to help my waist line so I had to find a soda that I liked as much as coke but without all the sugar.
I have tried regular diet coke but I do not particularly like the …

You can always tell when a Fish and Chip shop is good, because in the evening it’s busy. I have to admit that Pauls Fish and Chip shop is the best place that I have had a good chippy.
As with most chip shops you can get your chips, sausages, …

Two of my favourite foods are ice cream and chocolate, and even though I’m not a fan of the Snickers chocolate bar, I was still curious to find out what the “Snickers Ice Cream Bar” would taste like when I saw it selling recently in a store.
While I …

The Grille Stop has been around for as long as I can remember and my absolute favourite food item on their menu is their Spicy Chicken. I usually go there solely to buy a piece of Spicy Chicken with a side of some sort.
The Grille Stop’s Spicy Chicken looks …

The L’oven Fresh Triple Chocolate Fudge Cake is a twenty-ounce cake available for purchase at ALDI Food Market stores for two dollars and ninety-nine cents. If you aren’t someone that enjoys making cakes from box mixes or scratch and would rather just purchase a pre-made cake that is ready …

One day I was shopping at Walmart and I was browsing the candy racks, something I shouldn’t have been doing in the first place but always seem to be doing, and a reddish bag that said M&Ms caught my eye. I picked it up and took a closer …

I am a huge chicken fan. I could pretty much eat chicken and only chicken and be content. Usually I prefer that the chicken be grilled and fairly plain. When I was pregnant, however, I so craved Burger King’s chicken sandwiches. I like the plain …
