Bagel-Fuls: Cinnamon Bagels
Bagel-Fuls: Cinnamon Bagels proved to be a disappointment for me. The main reason I was drawn to this product is because it had the word “cinnamon” written on the box. Well, let me just say that there is just enough cinnamon to be found in these little loaf like …
Baumann’s Hot & Spicy Barbecue Sauce
If I could only use one word to describe this barbecue sauce, that word would have to be, “WOW!!” And, I really don’t think that’s a strong enough superlative for this BBQ sauce.
I had gone shopping with my mother who just loves Save-a-Lot. I was looking on …
A&W Teen Burger
I don’t usually like the bigger burgers that the fast food chains offer, like McDonald’s Big Mac or the Burger King Whopper, not that they’re not good, but they’re just so big that I often opt for a smaller version of those burgers, but I don’t do this with …
Morrisons Quick & Easy Creamy Cheese Pasta & Sauce
If I had a pound for every pasta and cheese sauce meal I have had I would be very rich indeed. I liked it even before I turned vegetarian but nowadays I do appreciate the protein content of this meal. So I have tried many pasta and …
Stouffer’s Lean Cuisine Shrimp
One night I needed a fast nutritious meal, so I bought a Lean Cuisine dinner. I’ve bought other Stouffer’s Lean Cuisine meals and usually had good results and taste I had high hopes for the Shrimp in a Creamy Seafood Sauce Meal.

Gipsy Gold —“ soft aperitif
I don’t usually like bitter products but here in Italy everyone drinks soft aperitifs so I decided to try the out too, when they were on discount, of course. So I bought Gipsy Gold, 10 bottles of this soft aperitif for 1.19Euro only instead of 1,49Euro. I must say …
Healthy Choice Portabella Spinach Parmesan
I was interested in trying this Healthy Choice Pasta entrée because I love the combination of mushroom and spinach. It would have been better if it was broccoli, but you pick and choose from the choices you’ve been given. Also, this entrée was under 300 calories, had …
Helmans mayonnaise
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 …
Breyers Coffee
Breyers Coffee ice cream is pretty bland. Now, I am not much of a coffee drinker, and when I do drink coffee, I usually have flavored coffee or a specialty coffee, so perhaps I should not have expected much from this ice cream and perhaps I should not have …
Cooper’s Cheesy Breadsticks
Cooper’s Cheesy Breadsticks sell for two dollars and nineteen cents at ALDI Food Market stores. Five cheesy breadsticks come in a box. Breadsticks that are filled with cheese aren’t cheap, regardless of what store I go to, but the Cooper’s brand found at ALDI Food Markets is about the …
Silver Palate Balsamic Vinaigrette
Silver Palate Balsamic Vinaigrette dressing is the perfect complement for a mixed salad of lettuce, red cabbage, radishes, carrots and tomatoes. However, persons who have made the acquaintance of this delicious salad topper may wish to know some basics about the processing of the product.
Even though …

Clancy’s Reduced Fat Kettle Chips come in a nine ounce bag for one dollar and ninety-nine cents at ALDI Food Market stores. Due to the way they’re prepared, kettle chips cost more money than potato chips. They’re supposed to be a little easier on the body in terms of …

Product Description: A bag of crinkle cut French fries. My wife found these at our local Aldi for around $1.50 and we ended up having them for dinner last night (making them in our oven).

Dark Coconut Fruit and Granola Bar from Kashi
Kashi is a brand name that I have known to sell many health products ranging from cereals to nutrition bars to even meals that you microwave. I have not been disappointed by their products yet, and after trying their Dark Chocolate Coconut fruit and grain bar I am still …

Cafe Bustelo Coffee
I recently bought some Cafe Bustelo grinded coffee beans to replace my Maxwell house coffee and I have just loved it. The Maxwell house cofee was ok, but it was a lot more expensive to buy and didn’t really think it tasted all that great. It said it …
McDonald’s McSkillet Burrito
We had been hearing all the commercials about the McDonald’s McSkillet Burrito and seen where they talked about it on a couple of morning news programs, as nutrition experts decried how many calories and grams of fat this breakfast item had. Of course, this piqued our curiosity. …
Oishi Ridges
I just love eating Oishi Ridges. My whole family especially the kids love buying this product. Oishi Ridges has lots of different flavors but our favorites are cheese, cheese and garlic and plain salted. I am not a huge fan of the barbecue flavor though. I like the way …

Balsamic Vinegar de Modena
I first heard of balsamic vinegar 4 years ago while watching a TV cooking program which presented a Greek salad.
I was intrigued by the name since balsamic in my mind could be associated with something soothing.
I am not a particular fan of salads in general and of vinegar in …
Coca Cola Classic
I have been drinking coke for all my life. I know that many of you have seen the commercials on TV take the taste test between Pepsi and Coke. I personnally like the Coca Cola Classic formula better than the hybirds that they sell. A few years ago …

Three Musketeers Candy Bar
My favorite kind of candy bar has to be the Three Musketeers bar. There really isn’t anything like it. Well, other than the Milky Way, which for some reason isn’t as good for me (though it’s still very good). If you like milk chocolate and haven’t …

Private Selection Sparkling Soda - 11.1 Fl Oz.
I try not to drink anything with High Fructose Corn Syrup in it, or too many artificial flavorings, so sometimes finding soda I can drink can be quite a task. I tried Private Selection Sparkling Soda (Lime-Cranberry) out because I saw bottles of it at the store and it …

Bella Rosa Extra Virgin Olive Oil 250 ml

For one, it doesn’t hurt when I’m frying something. You know how you get all …
Cloverhill Bakery - Raspberry Long John Cake
The Cloverhill Bakery - Raspberry Long John Cake is my least favorite of the three flavor varieties available. Unlike the strawberry and lemon flavors, I personally find very little taste in these pastries. The raspberry flavoring seems to be pretty insignificant. I know that if I knew how to …
Kellogg’s Corn Pops with Fiber Cereal

Stouffer’s Grilled Herb Chicken
