Herr’s Peanut Butter Pretzels
I recently discovered Herr’s Peanut Butter (filled Pretzels), and I can probably now officially declare myself as being addicted. Can I just tell you how delicious these little nugget-sized snacks are? They are almost similar in look and size to the sourdough pretzel bites that Herr’s also produces, …
Stouffers Pot Roast frozen dinner
When I have a hectic schedule, I love coming home and microwaving one of Stouffers frozen dinners, and the Pot Roast is certainly no exception! I bought this 232gram boxed dinner on sale for just $2.99 at my local Supermarket.
I hate the term ‘TV dinner’ but with a Stouffers …
Ziyad Brand Hummus Tahini
I love hummus, and I decided to try out a new store brand since it was on clearance: Ziyad Brand. I bought the one in the yellow can labeled “Ziyad Brand Hummus Tahini,” and I wasn’t expecting too much from clearance hummus in a can. I was pleasantly surprised.
What’s …
Max’s Bakeshop’s “Surprise Cake”
It is my mother-in-law’s birthday and so my husband told me to buy her mom something which doesn’t have to be expensive as our simple present and so I chose to buy this Surprise Cake from Max’s Bakeshop.
I have already tried some of …
V&S Red Food Colouring (Powder)
I like to bake alot and I had recently read about using powdered food colouring in your icings because it does not change the consistency of the icing as the liquid ones might (depending on how much you add)
For Christmas time I decided to buy some different varieties of …
Mrs. Freshley’s Halloween: Powdered Mini Donuts
Unlike the chocolate variety of mini-donuts, Mrs. Freshley’s Halloween: Powdered Mini Donuts actually have a pretty decent flavor to them and I will say that I enjoyed devouring the six mini-donuts. The powdered sugar provided these donuts with a satisfying flavor that left me with a smile on my …
Canada Olympic Games 2010 Cookies
Wow, these Olympic Games companies are milking it for all they are worth, aren’t they? I’ve seen T shirts, sweat shirts, jackets, sweat pants, track suits, and now cookies? Really, how are cookies even related to the Games? I got this as a Christmas gift from my boss this …
Kenton Schoke Mousse
in Chocolate caught my eye. I was tired of traditional chocolate puddings, and thought this mousse might make an interesting desert for my family. It retailed for $2.99CDN.
Kenton�s packaging was quite ritzy, all red and gold and I was surprised to find I only needed to add a cup …

Lay’s salt & vinegar flavored potato chips
You can find the bags of salt & vinegar flavored Lay’s in 2 sizes, but I always buy the big one as I’m really in love with this potato chips. It’s true that, like many other brands, they fill the bags with more air than potatoes, but that’s only …
Dickinson’s Lemon Curd
For those unfamiliar with lemon curd, this sugary spread is typically used on English scones. However, I like having it with many other breakfast foods. The quality of jarred lemon curd seems to run the gamut between abysmal and superb. Dickinson’s is the best I’ve tried so far.
If I’m …
Burger King Vanilla Milk Shake
The vanilla milk shake of Burger King is a milk shake that tends to be on a thinner side. This is not a disadvantage for me always. Most of the time a value sized vanilla milk shake from Burger King is more than enough for me to quench my …
Nestle Fruit Selection Yogurt Melon Nata

Skillet Masters boxed dinners
I love Hamburger Helper, at least most kinds of it. But, I don’t like paying full price for it so I end up looking for cheaper boxed dinners instead.
This search recently led me to Skillet Masters dinners and I was able to give them a try last night.
Overall, I …
Harvey Fresh UHT Long Life Orange Juice
I love drinking Orange Juice. I have been a fan of the S&R Freshly Squeezed Orange Juice in a bottle but it can be quite expensive. S&R is also far from my home so when I need fresh orange juice I usually would just go to the nearest local …
Bavaria Non-Alcoholic Drink
There are very few non-alcoholic drinks like Bavaria around. Sparkling water can be rather expensive. Thus Bavaria provides a cheaper alternative which comes in a bottle or a can. One can of Bavaria is comparable in price to a can of Coke. We bought the Bavaria cans of drinks …
Quick Eaze Gravy Mix
Quick Eaze Gravy Mix is what my kids call the cheating way to make gravy. I guess they call it that because as the name implies it is easy to make gravy from their mix. All you do is add 1 cup of cold water to the season packet …
Leylam’s Shawarma with Rice Meal
Leylam is just one of the few kiosks that sell one of the best shawarmas in the Philippines. I saw them first in Boracay when I was looking for a cheap thrill food that tastes Mediterranean.
This was my favourite meal of them all, the Shawarma with Rice meal. …
Pizza Hut WingStreet Wedge Fries
I just did another review for Pizza Hut WingStreet Wings, a product I’d just purchased for the first time. I really don’t know why I decided to buy the chicken, but I suspect a part of it was seeing these Pizza Hut WingStreet Wedge Fries advertised on their …

Nestle Nesvita Cereal Milk Drink Original Flavor

Sweetzels Spiced Wafer cookies
Sweetzels Spiced Wafer cookies were something I had the chance to try recently when I spent a couple of days at my parent’s house. They usually keep a few different types of cookies and candies on hands for the grandchildren and these were one of the new things they …
Becel Brand Margarine
Since the day my doctor advised me to keep my blood pressure under control, I stopped taking rich and fatty foods. I used to take a lot of butter with toast at breakfast time too.
I changed to margarines then , different brands. The one brand I am a …
Monster Energy Drink
The Monster energy drink brand is steadily making itself one of the most popular energy drink choices in the USA, and I can understand that. The fact is, they sell good product, and they sell it well. Their marketing strategy basically boils down to “You need something to wake …

Pringles Chedder Cheese Flavor
As a chip lover, I was very excited to try Pringles Chedder Cheese Flavored Chips. At a $1.50 (at my local dollar store) for the supper stack can I figured that I would give it a try. If I didn’t like it I would be out a $1.50 but …
Safeway Enriched White Bread
I would not recommend trying this bread no matter how inexpensive it may be compared to some of the other brand names. I thought by the looks of it that it would be comparable to like a Weber’s enriched white bread. I was disappointed when I bought …
Jimmy Dean Original Premium Bacon
After purchasing many other Jimmy Dean products over the years, I recently tried Jimmy Dean Original Premium Bacon. Overall, it was pretty good.
The packaging definitely keeps in the natural juices of the bacon. The packaging is solid, but I do wish it was easier to open. …
Nescafe 3-in-1 Regular flavor instant coffee
Out of so many brands of instant coffee, I still love to drink Nescafe 3-in-1 Regular instant coffee. The Nescafe 3-in-1 Strong is too strong for me, and the Nescafe 3-in-1 Mild has no coffee taste at all.
At least Nescafe 3-in-1 Regular instant coffee mix has the aroma …
Star Margarine Garlic
Breakfast is an important meal, thus I see to it to have one before doing my routine. A combination of coffee and bread is my typical breakfast. For my bread, I spread it with Star Margarine Garlic and toast for a few minutes. From plain bread, I’ve made my …
Marigold Chrysanthemum Tea
Chineses love teas, I believe they too are the ones together with the Japanese people that might have introduced teas, or even juice extracts to the world. For the Chinese, everything is almost edible and every fruit or flower has its own medicinal benefits. I am here to actually …

Chick Fil-A Sweet Ice tea
There are very few places here in Colorado to find sweet ice tea. If you are like me from the South where everyone serves sweet ice tea you know what a shock it is to move somewhere that it is an oddity. Chic Fil-A has sweet ice tea just …
Albertsons Complete Pancake Mix
Albertsons Complete Pancake Mix is kind of thin mix which requires larger quantity of powder for making pan cakes. This is the pancake mix that comes from Albertsons itself and comes in a bulkier pack than other brands. The price is no high. Albertsons Complete Pancake mix was got …
Betty Crocker Scallped Potatoes Mix
I am a big fan of Betty Crocker Au Gratin Potatoes and also the Betty Crocker Sour Cream and Chives Potatoes so I decided to try the Scalloped Potatoes flavor. Unfortunately, the Scalloped potatoes proved to be somewhat of a disappointment. I did not feel that they were …
Noel Saltin Crackers
I’ve never really thought of myself as a fan of crackers, especially salty ones, but I have to say that eating Noel’s Saltin Crackers can be quite addictive. I’m enjoyng some right now in fact as I’m writing this, and am forcing myself not to reach into the bag …

Our Family Baked Beans
I picked up a chicken dinner from one of the local grocery stores last night. And, since I didn’t want to pay deli prices on side dishes, I went to the actual grocery section to pick up a can of baked beans.
Normally, I would get Bush’s baked beans. But, …
