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 …
BayMist Cranberry Raspberry Juice Cocktail
I have enjoyed BayMist Cranberry Raspberry Juice Cocktail for some eight months (bought at a Sav-A-Lot store in Tucson at under two Dollars) especially for its pleasant raspberry flavor, even when diluted one part juice with two parts water. A 64 oz. bottle bought on May 10, 2007 - …
Smart Ones - Three Cheese Ziti Marinara
The Smart Ones - Three Cheese Ziti Marinara is one of my favorite semi-healthy frozen meal lunches. You can usually find it in the grocery store for under $2.00 and it is on sale quite often. Also, there are a lot of coupons floating around for Smart …
Wilson’s Cherry Tomatoes
I like making salads to go with dinner but it’s hard to find quality tomatoes around here; unless you pay a fortune at the farmer’s market.
That’s why I was pleasantly surprised by the Wilson’s brand of Cherry Tomatoes I bought the other day.
My biggest problem with tomatoes is they …
Castleton Salisbury Stakes
Castleton Salisbury Stakes have long been my solution for a quick, tasty, and cheap homemade meal. I buy them at Aldi’s, they are less than $2 for a 2 lbs pack of 6 steaks plus gravy.

Blue DIamond Almonds
Looking for something to nibble while watching t.v., I happen to come across a can of nuts. I do not know who bought it, but it’s on top of our refrigerator so I easily grabbed it.
To my utter surprise, it read: BLUE DIAMOND ALMONDS BOLD (Wasabi & Soy Sauce). …
Grace Finest Quality Tea
My parents love drinking tea like a lot of other Jamaicans, and since things have gotten pretty hard financially, usually what they buy these days are brands like “Red Rose Tea” since those tend to be less expensive. However, when they can afford it, I normally see them try …

Dairy Queen ice cream parlors have been around for quite some time now yet they still continue to make one of the best ice creams in the world. Their products are actually very simple: ice cream, smoothies & shakes, and bars.

Great Value Pork Sausage
I have come to expect little, if anything, from Great Value (Wal-Mart’s store brand). The bread is almost always stale, the sodas taste flat, and the crinkle-cut French fries are soggy. Oh, and the chili with beans? Terrible.
But I’m in college, so my grocery budget isn’t always as …
Tvarscki vodka
If you are searching for an affordable, yet drinkable mixer beverage, Tvarscki vodka is an excellent choice. More often than not, any bottle of alcohol purchased for under fifteen dollars later proves to be a terrible choice. Cheaper vodkas often tend to have a very bitter, rubbing …
Tang Orange Flavour Crystals
I have been a huge fan of the orange crystal drink Tang for over 20 years. I first discovered Tang as a small child in Florida on vacation twenty years ago.

Cadbury Bliss chocolate bar
The Cadbury Bliss is a new chocolate bar, and one which seems to be aimed at women judging by the little advertising that I have seen for it. I am, as usual, slightly irritated by this assumption that it is only women who want a nice, comforting chocolate hit …
Special K Cereal Bars
Special K Cereal Bars are part of Special K’s effort to promote itself as “healthy”. They are portion controlled snack bars at 90 calories per bar, designed so that it’s easier to control your snacking. However, they taste so bad I wonder why anyone would want to have more …

Keeber Elfin Crackers
I tend to eat out of the vending machine at work way too often. When I find myself looking for something to eat I am usually left with little or no healthy alternatives. Torn between purchasing chips or a candy bar I discovered Elfin Crackers. Elfin Crackers are essentially …
Abita Mardi Gras Bock, seasonal beer
We picked up the Abita Mardi Gras Bock to go with a southern-themed dinner one night, and it paired really well with the somewhat heavier, spicier food that we ate that night. It’s drinkable and versatile enough for a number of different seasons and dishes.
The Abita Bock is a …

Dilmah Ceylon Tea
I have tasted Ceylon tea before, but this was the first time we went to buy a Dilmah 100 tea bag pack. The aroma and flavour differs from other tea to some extent. Opening the pack leaves the fragrance of tea leaves and …
President’s Choice Ready-to-Serve Soup
I find that I am trying more and more President’s Choice products in the last few years. I happened across this ready-to-serve soup and decided that it might be worth trying. This soup is almost a meal in itself; it has a very full-bodied flavor and is …

Donuts from Save More Supermarket
We have come to patronize Save More Supermarket not only because it is nearest our place, but also because its operating hours is from 7 a.m. up to 9 a.m. Every Wednesday at 7.a.m. my family shops there, taking advantage of the almost deserted grocery. Although this grocery is …
KFC Spongebob Bucket Meal
I’m a huge fan of Spongebob, and it’s sort of my hobby to collect Spongebob goodies.
So recently, KFC launched a promo wherein they offer a Spongebob-themed bucket meal for a limited time period. With this meal, you get 8 pieces of assorted fried chickens placed in a Spongebob bucket, …
Stouffer’s Meatloaf
Stouffer’s Meatloaf is not a dinner that I will be purchasing a second time. The reason I will not be purchasing it again is because I was not all that satisfied with the flavor of the meatloaf. I found the meatloaf to have a relatively dull and bland taste …
Chicken Biscuit from Mcdonalds
I tried one of mcdonalds biscuits for breakfast yesterday. It was really good. The chicken was all white meat and it tasted really good. I didn’t even get to eat it when it was hot when I first got it. I had to wait a little bit. So mine …

Old Samuel Bourbon
What do you want from a drink? That is an alcoholic drink, of course. Let us assume that it has the punch you require. If it doesn’t, then there’s something wrong. After all, 40% proof must mean that it has a certain amount of oomph to lift you from the …
Socials Whole Wheat crackers
I usually don’t like whole wheat food but I love these crackers. They are so good with sharp cheese. They are also good to just eat a lone. At least I think so. I like them a lot better than regular crackers. They just taste better with sharp cheese. …

Wegmans Italian Classics Nonpareil Capers

Entenmann’s Marble Loaf Cake
I feel that Entenmann’s Marble Loaf Cake is worthy of being purchased if you are someone that enjoys the flavor combination of vanilla and chocolate. Although there is certainly more vanilla to this marble cake than chocolate, both flavors I feel are still represented well and both flavors come …

My wife got a free sample of Stacy’s Simply Naked Pita Chips the other day in the mail. I’m not sure who sent it to her exactly (both my dad and my mother-in-law spend hours looking for free samples on line each week) but, it wasn’t a product I’ve …
Centre Fresh Chewing gum
I am not a big fan of bubble gums, but centre fresh is a good one gum, that I have had many times, and probably it’s the only one that I have sticked to. It is quite different from the regular gums, and as the name says, there is some …
