Bake and Churn (Robinsons Metro East)
This is not actually a restaurant, it is just a small stall or cart but their products are surprisingly delicious. So what I’m going to review now is their ice cream cakes that I love. (And it will be also your must add this to your “must try” list.)

Healthy Choice Portabella Marsala Pasta
My eye caught this pasta product because I’m always interested in trying new pasta shapes. The description sounded very appealing —“ pasta and crimini mushrooms with marsala wine sauce and fontina cheese. To add to the appeal, the calorie count is under 300 calories and it is …
Orbit Mist
I recently tried the new gum from Orbit called Mist. I love chewing gum. Especially when I am bored. So I have tried almost every gum on the market. I must say that this gum is at the top of …
M&M’s Plain Chocolate
This brand has been around for ages. I think I started eating M&M’s when I was still a little kid. For some reason, this has always been one of my favorite chocolate pieces. More so than Toblerone, kisses and such. (Although I would have to say that the plain …

Betty Crocker - Cheddar Broccoli Rice is a delightful side dish that I find quite satisfying in flavor and portion. What I like about this side dish is that the broccoli is pretty fresh and offers an enjoyable flavor. The cheddar goes great with the broccoli and the two …
Welch’s Grape Juice
I know that not everyone in the world is a huge fan of grape juice, but it is a juice that I enjoy drinking. One of the brands that I buy frequently is Welch’s Grape Juice. I’m not sure that there is really anything outstanding about the product, …
Lemon Juice
This is the lemon juice that comes in the little lemon shaped containers. There is also lime juice concentrate which comes in green lime shaped containers.

Doritos Jacked 3D Jalapeno Pepper Jack
I am not a huge fan of spicy chips, but these caught my husband’s attention and he really wanted to try them. We were at Wal-Mart getting stuff for a pic-nic when we decided to go ahead and pick them up. They were actually pretty inexpensive at $2.88 for …
Brunswick Flaked Tuna With Lemon and Pepper
I love trying new foods unlike a lot of other people, especially since I find that I tend to get bored very easily. I guess the other part of it is that I feel like the world is my oyster, and I like to try most things at least …
Diet Pepsi
I love Diet Pepsi. I think that I am addicted. The problem is they are not good for you. I don’t know if it is the carbonation, the taste or the caffeine.
The label says that there are 0 calories, …
Stouffer’s Meat Lasagna
I was looking for a quick lunch Saturday afternoon and ended up running up the street to Walgreens to purchase a single-serve sized Stouffer’s Meat Lasagna. I have had these in the past and, for the most part, will confess I’m getting a
bit burned out on them. But, they do …

To save money, we try to eat at home whenever we can. But, even dining at home can be expensive lately. That’s why we depend on Great Value products.

Uncle Ben’s Ready Rice - Jasmine
If you’re a fan of Jasmine rice but aren’t a rice cooker then I highly recommend giving this product a try. It is probably my favorite rice on the market today. I’ve never been good at cooking rice. I always have to buy the precooked rice …
Cafe21, 2 in 1 instant white coffee mix, without sugar
I was never a fan of premixed coffee that usually comes in 3 in 1 forms. It is a combination of non-dairy creamer, sugar and instant coffee powder. They are either too sweet or too watery for my taste. I want to taste the coffee not …

Curried duck goes …

Evan Nuss Milky Compound Chocolate bar
I love chocolate so much that I guess one could say that I border on being a “chocoholic”. The funny thing is though that while I can get completely addicted to certain types and brands of chocolate, one would almost never catch me fooling around others. This is because …
Wrigley’s Doublemint Mints

Sam’s Cola
The first thing I like about Sam’s Cola is the price: only 58 cents for a two liter bottle, and sometimes even less, sometimes out local Walmart has it for 50 cents. It is also available in regular pop cans. The second thing I like is the taste, the …
Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes Snack Cakes - Chocolate
I would say that these Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes Snack Cakes - Chocolate are about average in terms of taste, and above-average in creativity. The tree cakes are covered with chocolate fudge and feature white creme frosting serving as the garland and red and green sprinkles while on …
Mrs. Freshley’s SnackAway Peanut Butter Wafer Bars
Although I feel that Mrs. Freshley’s SnackAway Peanut Butter Wafer Bars could have likely been richer in flavor had this product not been made with nutrition in mind, I must say that despite the fact that there is really very little sugar added to these wafer bars, they still …
Silk Original Creamer
I love to make ice cream, but sometimes I don’t like to use the heavy cream that is often called for in most recipes. In order to save on calories, I like to look for non-dairy alternatives. One of the things I’ve discovered that is perfect for this purpose …

Cravendale Milk
Now you may think think that milk is all the same and there is little point in changing the brand you buy. Well I used to think the same untill I tried this product.
Yes there is the difference in terms of skimmed and semi skimmed you get with …
Coffee Twist Iced Black Coffee in Hazelnut Flavor
The internet connection in the house we are temporarily staying is very slow at night, and so to make the most of the captcha and online writing work that I do, I wake up very early in the morning. To help me really wake up, I would drink hot …

Carl Jr’s The Big Carl Combo Meal
One of the reasons I haven’t gone to Carl’s Jr. all the much in recent years is because of their prices. Compared to other fast food places in the vicinity, it cost more there to get comparable meals. Nowadays, though, this west coast fast food restaurant finally …
Clearly Canadian Raspberry Cream Flavored Water
Clearly Canadian Raspberry Cream Flavored Water is something that I used to find deliciously rich and very refreshing. I guarantee that I would still have such things to say about it if I drank it today. However, I have given up this bottled water because I did not like …

Batchelors Super Noodles
I have enjoyed Batchelors Super Noodles since I was a kid, although I am convinced there is probably not much nutritional value to them. The other thing about them is that they are not very filling and I am sure to be hungry again an hour after having …
Hershey’s Hugs
If you have not tried Hershey’s Hugs yet, you definitely should! They are a branch off from the standard Hershey’s Kisses, only it’s regular milk chocolate “hugged” in white chocolate. What a way to dress up a regular Hershey’s Kiss! These are much better, and they …
Galaxy Pieces Caramel
I think these gorgeous Galaxy Pieces are pretty new on the market and I had to buy some after I saw an advertisement in a magazine. The little chocolates in the photo looked lovely and I am a big fan of Galaxy chocolate anyway, especially Galaxy Carmel. …

Recently I have found them at a few locations …
Del Monte Cut Green Beans
As I’ve indicated in other reviews, Del Monte is a trusted brand in my family. My parents purchased it, and I’ve continued to patronize it as well. I honestly don’t think I’ve ever gotten a bad product from them, so I have a lot of faith in …
Smore Flavor Poptarts
If you enjoy pop-tarts, chocolate, or smores, you should definitely try Poptarts in the Smore flavor. Perhaps they don’t have a complete resemblance in even taste to real smores, but oh well. They have a gram cracker-like surrounding with chocolate and marshmellow flavors in the middle. …
