Atkinson’s Long Boys were a new type of candy for me, though not for the rest of the world. These candies have been around for at least 60 years, but I had never heard of them before. I’m the type of person who loves to try new things no …

Stouffer’s Easy Express Cheesy Garlic Lasagna is a bland meal that I have no real reason to purchase a second time. Although the name on the box of this lasagna sounds quite tasty, the actual product does not do a good job at all of living up to its …

I am definitely a huge chocolate chip cookie lover. Ironically, the only pre-packaged refrigerated cookies that I’d ever bought were Nestle or store bought from Kroger. I decided to pick up Pillsbury cookies because they were on sale. This is one of those brands that …

I like to keep my family healthy and I try to give them stuff that helps them. Now everyone knows that drinking too much caffiene is not good for you and heaven help me my family goes through soda like there is no tomorrow. So I started …

I purchase these fiber bars once and awhile. I would purchase them more often, but honestly, the apple and cinnamon flavor is not all that terrific or incredible. I mean, both flavors are noticeable and what flavor that is there is quite good, but there just is not enough …

I bought a bag of Bertolli frozen chicken florentine today at Target. I decided to try it because it looked super easy to make (8 minutes in the microwave) and it was on sale for $6.
I followed the directions on the package, microwaving it for 8 minutes and …

Just today, my grandmother gave all of us (her grandchildren) some 65-gram packs of Seleco Roasted Crispy Seaweed topped with Crispy Fish. I am normally not a fan of seaweed snacks especially non-wasabi flavored ones, but this one is really, really good and is one of the best …

When I saw this in the supermarket for the first time at a cheap price, I was delighted to know that the Jamaican brand National was finally making a cheaper pack of chocolate chip cookies, that felt like it contained even more in one bag. Therefore, being a chocolate …

The new Magnolia Calamansi (Philippine Lemon) powdered juice that comes in a pack is really a good alternative to bottled juices (ready to drink). I bought one pack good for one liter a while ago in a drugstore, with mini supermarket on my way to work and one pack …

Because of my previous–and great–experience with my last Boston Market frozen dinner purchase, I decided to purchase another one from my local super Wal-Mart and this one was one of my favorites: Chicken, broccoli and cheese casserole. I have eaten plenty of Marie Callender’s’ chicken, broccoli and cheese casseroles; …

Mastroianni Bros - Italian Raisin Bread is a bread that I will not spend money on again. The reason is I did not enjoy it very much. Although I most definitely like raisins, I did not find this bread to be loaded with the tasty, natural candies that I …

The start of the year was heralded by news of price increases —“ from fuels to transport fares. It has now become more necessary to tighten our belts every which way we can. Thus, I have taken price comparison to an art level and will absolutely refuse to part …

Kellogg’s All-Bran Garlic Herb Crackers are a delight to eat. They are bite-sized and every serving contains 5 grams of fiber (a serving size is 18 crackers but I eat less than half of that at a time). There are 5 grams of fiber in a serving size, and …

Product Description: Bag of frozen crinkle-cut style French fries. I recently found them on sale at one of our local stores for 99 cents but I think they normally sell for about $1.50 per bag.
What I liked about this product: Usually, if I spend so little on fries, I …

I love trying different foods, drinks and games because I am a gamer and at the same time I love eating. While I’m traveling I forgot to buy some mineral water so I became thirsty, it is a long travel and after three hours of sitting inside the bus …

I’m a busy man and because of this hectic schedule in work and different things concerning work I do not have time to cook for myself during dinner. This situation leads me to the point where I need to buy canned foods and eat that for my dinner together …

As long as I can remember, seafood has always been a part of my diet. I originally started eating–I think–blue crabs, but it wasn’t until I was in high school when I discovered my new love for snow crab clusters.
Snow crab clusters are mainly the legs from the snow …

I have never heard of Helen Grace Chocolates until my aunt from the US brought me one when she came over for a vacation. It was a nice, brown, opulent-looking box with a nice ribbon, and it said the words Helen Grace. Actually, just from looking at it, I …

When I first saw the KC Candy Dinner Mint, I had mistaken it for a particular mint my aunt used to bring from abroad when I was little, that had chocolate in the middle. At the time I hated mints with a passion, and the one with chocolate inside …

Keeping an evaporated milk in my kitchen is very important for me. I’ll never know when I’m going to need it. But since I cook a lot, I’d like to have it available because I know some menus that need it. One of my favorites is soup. Whatever soup …

I personally love peaches, whether it’s the actual fruit or drink, or even cosmetic product. Although I prefer the most natural scents and taste of peaches. With that being said, I decided to try the soda big peach when spotting it while getting gas station. Since it was only …

I thought I would review these ginger biscuits from Morrisons Value range because I cannot tell any difference between these and the more upmarket, expensive brands and you get a long packet of loads of biscuits for only 31p! OK, they are packaged in Morrisons’ nasty bright yellow …

I LOVE tea. I drink tea everyday. My whole family enjoys tea also. They mostly enjoy ice tea. I like hot or ice tea. I have tried many, many different types of tea. I have tried the generic, or store name brands. I have tried the expensive specialty tea. …

I have bought these fish many times and am always very pleased with them. Yesterday I cooked them again and they turned out as excellent as always. These are raw headless whiting fish that still have their tails. They come in a large box and inside the box they …

When it comes to dinner, it’s sometimes hard to find something I can get my 3-year-old daughter to eat. I mean I can find somethings for her but they are usually the same things she eats all the time and I’m afraid she’ll get burned out on them really …

Nestles Coffee Mate Claims to make the perfect cup of coffee, but I would beg to differ! We had run out of regular half and half, and I was desperate for my morning cup of Joe. I looked in my cabinet to see what I could substitute, …

I don’t really like chocolate drinks, at least not the hot chocolate drinks for that matter; but I certainly enjoy cold chocolate drinks as a kid, these would usually be the ready to drink milk chocolate drinks in cartons; most of them are readily available in supermarkets or convenient …

I am a big fan of pesto sauce, that delicious Italian staple made with basil, garlic and butter. My husband makes the best homemade pesto ever, but it does take some time to prepare. At my favourite Italian market, I found a small jar of imported prepared pesto from …

When it comes to smokes, I am a fairly loyal Camel man. Camel makes the finest smokes in the world as far as I am concerned. However, for one reason or another I do turn to another brand, and when I have to it is usually Marlboro. …

Oatmeal is always a perfect breakfast choice for people who are always in a hurry, who never had enough time to cook in the morning because of rush hour and fear of being late at work. I am one of these people and one of millions who consumed oatmeal …

We decided to make tacos last night because we had some hamburger in our fridge and figured it would be something different.
When we looked in our cupboard to see what we needed, we discovered we had an Old El Paso Soft Taco Dinner Kit.
I have used dinner kits in …

I just found the perfect competition of Nutella, it’s Nugatti which I just bought for $1. I thought the packaging looked like Nutella, so I bought it. The price is about the same, although Nutella has a lot more content at 13 ounces. This is a …

Cracker Jacks were a very integral part of my childhood. Well integral to my junk food development anyway. Living in a small village and having to rely on a convenience store instead of a grocery, supermarkert, junk food was the primary treat of my early years. There wasn’t a …

I served the Cherry Walnut Cheesecake from Cravings in one of our holiday tables. As this is the time of the year that we gather together to thank the Lord for a good year, I make it a point to make dining a memorable occasion —“ I only serve …

I usually smoke Marlboro but I’ve switched to King Mountain because they actually taste better and are nearly half the price! I can still get a great pack of smokes for $1.79 where I live. It’s a bad habit but if you’re looking to cut back on expenses but have …

I often eat cereal for breakfast, and have been trying to eat more healthy cereals. I am now on my third box of Oatmeal Crisp Triple Berry, which I like because it is crunchy and flavourful.
I like the bits of dried berry, although I do find the strawberry pieces …

I have been trying to cut down on my spending lately and have been sampling the delights the Tesco Value range has to offer. At the ridiculously low prices they are selling for, you should not expect anything to be of the highest quality, but some products in …

Betty Crocker Au Gratin Potatoes is a boxed version of the classic potatoes au gratin dish. They do not require any refrigeration so they are handy to keep in the pantry to have for when you are in the mood for a tasty side dish. These potatoes are …

Of all the candies, this one is a chocolate bar. Frankly, I don’t know why Cadbury labels this a candy, when it’s not a candy in the real sense. My idea of a candy is that it is most likely round, hard and sweet. But all …

Frozen pizza keeps on evolving and one of the brands that continues to push the envelop is Red Baron. Not long ago, they came out with their Fire Baked Pizza, which was just yummy. Now there’s something else new on the market — Red Baron By the …

I love to bake and I used to buy the smaller packages of granulated sugar (or white sugar as it is also called) for a while. I realized I was baking a lot and was going through the small packages of granulated sugar like they were nothing and so …

Coming from an Italian family the words “lasagna meal in a box” is blasphemy; however in this day and time not all of us have hours to spend in the kitchen making an authentic Italian lasagna dinner. Limited time as well as strapped wallets forces us to find other …

Blue Bunny Arctic Blue Bomb Pop Gel Blasts are certainly eye catching! The arctic blue colors are really attractive, perhaps to me in particular because blue is my favorite color. The raspberry flavor that is a part of these gel blasts is good, although nothing fantastic. The flavor certainly …

It’s almost Christmas time here folks. You know how I can tell? Oh yeah, you do start to see all the decorations for the season going up in stores, and the relentless Black Friday ads begin blaring on TV and radio, sure that’s a given. But there’s another way …

I never really enjoyed eating “SPAM” products. This is because the first memory I have of a SPAM ready to cook canned goods was that the processed meat was so salty. It tasted so bad in my mouth that I practically have to eat a lot of bread with …

Out of all the dessert cake varieties, I think that I like the Little Debbie Dessert Cakes - Yellow variety the most. Even still, I will not be purchasing these dessert cakes on a very regular basis because they are still not outstanding. The yellow cake is moist and …

I love Kentucky Fried Chicken. Who doesn’t? It was great that they have the Bucket meal that can serve a huge group of people in a very convenient way.
I ordered a KFC Bucket Meal. For Php 600 (approx $14), it includes a plastic KFC Bucket, 4 plastic KFC …
