The Co operative Fairtrade Gold Roast Instant Coffee
I gave quite a bad review of the Co-operative’s Fairtrade Instant Coffee, but this is the ‘Gold Roast’ which implies a better quality instant coffee. This is a freeze dried coffee ‘for a smooth, rich flavour’ so I was hopeful it was going to be better. This …

Farmland Honey & Maple Sausage Links

First, they tasted nothing like …

Monster Energy Drinks

Kroger Mild Picante Sauce
When shopping for salsa, I often find that it is more economical to go for the store brand than the national brands. Usually the national brands cost in the area of $2.50 per 16-ounce jar, whereas the store brands are often in the area of $2.00. So to me …

Jell-o Pudding - Vanilla
Jell-o Pudding - Vanilla is not quite as good and delicious as the instant boxed pudding variety, although I still enjoyed my purchase of it. I still found the vanilla flavor to be relatively rich and tasty, and the texture of the pudding, creamy and smooth. The three pack …

G2 is the newest line of drinks from Gatorade. G2 is a low calorie sports drink. The 20-ounce bottle of fruit punch only contains 70 calories. Of course, it still has the benefits of electrolytes for athletes.

Apple Pumpkin Pie
Apple Pumpkin Pie is a fairly delightful dessert that I am sometimes able to purchase at Tom Thumb around September, October and November. The reason that I say it is a fairly delightful dessert is because it does have a slight flaw to it: the pie comes across as …
