Hill Country Fare Kettle Corn Popcorn
I am a fan of popcorn, I am a fan of kettle corn. Kettle corn is great because it provides the best of both worlds: sweetness and saltiness, all in a single kernel of popcorn. It is a great tasting snack, and one which I really enjoy.
Hill …

I have tried Priya Sona Masoori Rice this time. They are very nice. The cooked rice is also good. The rice is short and little bit thin. we entire family liked this rice. I bought 5 kg packet from local super market for reasonable price. This rice is very …
Cadburys Fruit and Nuts Chocolate
Cadburys are probably the oldest brand o here in India. I have been seeing them around since I was a lil kid. They are very delicious, and I specially like fruits and nuts. And I am not the only of their admirers. My kid, and wifey too like them very …
Mrs. Freshley’s Vanilla Cupcakes
I am definitely a person that enjoys vanilla desserts and treats, and Mrs. Freshley’s Vanilla Cupcakes is a treat that I do enjoy having every now and then. While not fabulously rich in delicious vanilla flavor, I do find the cupcakes to have a satisfying taste and I like …
Safeway Select Bottled Water
I dehydrate so easily, that I need to have water with me most of the time. I drink it in the bottled water one buys at the store, as most of we bottled water drinkers do. I have discovered that by buying Select Bottled Water, Safeway’s own brand, I …
Pizza Hut Stuffed Crust Pizza
I’m not sure if you have gone to the trouble and huge expense of ordering a Stuffed Crust Pizza from Pizza Hut, but if you have not, you need to at least try it once. Of course you won’t want to do this ever again. The price …
Mint Schmint: Ice Breakers Restore
I noticed Ice Breakers is making sugar-free mints that deviate from the typical “breath-freshening” purpose. Ice Breakers Restore and Ice Breakers Energy sat in 5 neat rows beside the magazine rack, staring at me as I stood in line to buy groceries. Just the appearance of the packaging made …
Rolo Gold thin pretzels
Rolo Gold pretzels have a new package now that may look less fancier than their old one but the price is much cheaper. Their pretzels sell for under $3.00 for a one pound bag and the pretzels are always fresh tasting and never taste stale. They come …
Lucky Choco Chocolate
As I mentioned in a previous review, my favourite types and brands of chocolates and sweets are those that I do not think are sickeningly sweet. This, a part from the price of it, was one of the things that attracted me to buying “Lucky Choco Chocolates”. These are …
Rebisco Hansel Crackers 12 pieces
I wanted something that can ease my hunger every afternoon. When I bought my lunch a while ago, I saw the shelves of Hansel in the store so I decided to buy one pack. I had known Hansel even before but that is with Mocca filling and it smells …
Garlic and Herb Spreadable Cheese Wedges from the Laughing Cow
Cheese is a popular snack food among many people. It’s perfect for parties, and goes well with crackers, fruit or dips. The new spreadable cheese wedges from The Laughing Cow are certainly something that many will be able to enjoy for snack time. The Garlic and Herb flavor cheese …
Klondike Caramel Pretzel Bars
Klondike bars have a special place in my heart because of my grandmother. It didn’t matter when we went to her house, she always had a pile of them in the freezer and she was always quick to sneak us one before our parents could say anything. Since I …
Skinny Girl Margarita
I guess I’ve been drinking Skinny Girl Margarita for the better part of a year now. I’m a big Bethany Frankle fan anyway so I was eager to find out what the big deal was with this drink. When it showed up at my local Safeway, on sale no …
Mama Cozzi Pizza
I buy a lot of items at Aldi’s grocery stores. Most are pretty good and, save me money. However, they have a frozen pizza line called Mama Cozzi that is really disappointing. In my 6 year old daughter’s opinion (which I value highly), the final verdict is “Eweeyuck!” I …
Little Debbie Pecan Spinwheels Sweet Rolls
Little Debbie Pecan Spinwheels Sweet Rolls are really quite good! These sweet rolls have a lot of flavor wrapped into them and both the cinnamon and pecan are represented quite well. You will most certainly be able to taste both the cinnamon and pecan flavors when you bite into …
Betty Crocker Warm Delights Minis
These little cakes are actually pretty good, and a great idea. They come two to a package, and each package comes with a small pouch of cake mix, a black plastic bowl type thing, and a package of topping (we’ve tried the caramel and the fudge).
If …
Classico Pasta Sauce, Tomato and Basil
This is a pretty flavorful pasta sauce. Unlike a lot of pasta sauces out there, this pasta sauce actually has chunks of tomato. There’s the typical tomato puree, but having actual slices of diced tomatoes in this pasta sauce really makes a difference! The diced tomatoes taste ripe and …
Reed’s Extra Ginger Brew
The first time I tasted Reed’s Extra Ginger Brew it took my breath away. It had a very strong ginger flavor and was delightful. There is little comparison between Reed’s Extra Ginger Brew and regular ginger ales. Store brands, Canada Dry, and Scheppes, are pale imitations of what a …
Nestle Coffee Mate
I like drinking a lot of coffee and I always keep a tub of Nestle Coffee Mate in the cupboard for those times when I am running low on milk to put it my coffee. I do like Coffee Mate but as I drink several cups of coffee …
Milford Raspberry and Lemon Tea
In these cold days I like to take nice hot cup of tea. I usually didn’t buy Milford teas because they are more expensive than other ones and also I always buy the same stuff. Last evening I went to shop and I saw that with Milford tea you …
Istanbul Express Lamb Doner with Rice
Istanbul Express is one of our favourite restaurant destinations in Hong Kong. They have a lot of authentic Turkish dishes such as Shawarma, Kebabs, Lamb, etc. However, I will just focus on one dish that they serve and this is my favourite: the Lamb Doner with rice meal.
This …
Oscar Mayer Wieners with Turkey, Pork & Chicken
I like the Oscar Mayer Wieners brand of hotdogs, they can be a little pricy, but the taste is always good. The turkey, pork & chicken variety is probably the cheapest, I bought 2 packs for $3 several days ago. The hotdogs are sold in packs of 10; actually, …
Maruchan Yakisoba Noodles Shrimp Flavor
If you are interested in a delicious and inexpensive meal option, consider Maruchan Yakisoba Noodles meals. They come in a variety of flavors and are available in my local supermarket for less than a dollar each. You cannot find a meal that is much cheaper than that. …
Kellogg’s Original Cinnabon Pancakes
Twelve Kellogg’s Original Cinnabon Pancakes come in a package for two dollars and fifty cents. That may sound like a fairly good deal, but the pancakes themselves actually aren’t that big. They’re more like mini-pancakes, looking to be about four inches in length. The size of the pancakes seriously …
Dymatize Mega Gainer energy drink
Hubby and I bought this energy drink last two weeks ago. Our main purpose is to gain weight since I got worried that he is under weight. I understand that he works in a Call Center and the time of work is in shift so sometimes, when we do …
Green Tea Kit Kat
For those of you that do not know what matcha is, it is a premium quality, powdered green tea that is very popular in Japan. It is sweeter, is filled with anti-oxidants, has more amino acids, and is overall much healthier than original green tea (which is popular in …
Magnolia Powdered Calamansi Juice
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 …
Del Monte Red Cane Vinegar
I used to be just contented with whatever brand of vinegar I used. But when an exposé about how synthetic vinegar harms out health came out I became very investigative. I practically read all the descriptions of all the vinegar brands in the market and it is only …
Flamin’ Hot Funyuns 6 1/2 oz bag
I love the Flamin Hot brand by Lays. The Flamin Hot Funyuns are so very delicious! I have always loved Funyuns as a child and now as an adult. And now they have combined my favourite chips with the Flamin Hot brand and flavour. I do …
Dairy queen ice cream cakes
Sunday we had my son’s birthday party with a lot of family and friends. My son is not very fond of cake, but he loves ice cream so every year he gets his cakes from Dairy Queen. He prefers the Reese Peanut Butter Cup cake.
So Saturday morning I …
Reasor’s Grocery Stores
I love Reasor’s stores. The kids they hire are friendly and more outgoing than the usual places. They are all dressed in their whites and jeans. However, the prices of everything in those stores are so high. For example, Totino’s pizzas are about 50 cents more than Wal Mart. …
Haagan Dazs Vanilla Swiss Almond ice cream
I’m sure most people have heard of Haagan Dazs. They make some really good ice creams with exotic flavors. The difference between Haagan Dazs and Ben and Jerry’s ice creams, aside from the flavors and names is that Ben and Jerry’s angle is fun and creativity. Whereas Haagan Dazs …
Michael Cutler Brand Onions
I have a love/hate relationship with onions. I love them. My eyes hate them. It’s the type of relationship most people have with onions. Every time I cut into one I find myself having to leave the room because they are so strong. It takes my eyes at least …
Corazonas Lightly Salted Tortilla Chips
I admit up front that I’m not much of a health-conscious eater. I grew up on junk and processed foods, so most of the ‘good for you’ foods just don’t agree with my taste buds. Last year, though, I became acquainted with the Corazonas brand. It’s …
Maggi Coconut milk powder mix
I recently found this very cool product Maggi coconut mix in the supermarket which can be a very good alternative to the coconut powder placed in cans and bottles because it is not only very easy to use and I don’t have to worry using a can opener but …
Little Debbie 100 Calorie Yellow Cakes
I found these Little Debbie 100 Calorie Yellow Cakes to be pretty average in flavor. If you have ever had a regular yellow cake before, you know that the flavor is inherently none too impressive, but it can make for a light and fluffy snack that does not spike …
Little Debbie Petites Chocolate Cakes
Little Debbie Petites Chocolate Cakes are rectangular snack cakes that are indeed petite. Two big bites or three moderate size bites, and the snack cakes are history. The cakes are thus on the small side. Unfortunately, the size of the chocolate cake isn’t the biggest problem this snack cake …
Tiet Canh (Vietnamese Blood Jello)
Tiet Canh is a traditional Vietnamese delicacy. It is extremely hard to find in restaurant due to its undesirable texture and contents. Usually, the only place to have a taste of this dish is in a traditional Vietnamese household. There are several types of ingredient to this dish. The …
Lipton Green Tea with Citrus
Well, I finally broke down, on doctor’s orders and started drinking Green Tea. I tried a couple of brands and then I tried Lipton’s. I’ve been drinking other Lipton teas all of my life so I figured their Green Tea would be a good bet. My …
Hot Tamales
I’ve seen them for years, but I’ve only just tried them, and I’m glad I did. ‘Them’ are Hot Tamales. I spotted them at a convenience store I visited a while back and purchased them on a whim. Of course, they’re available at my supermarket, too. …
Clover Valley Worcestershire Sauce 10 ounce
I am on a tight budget so I often find myself at the local Dollar General among other discount stores in order to meet my needs. One of the sections of the stores that I always check is the grocery isle to see if they have any deals or …
Fanta Bitter Orange
I remember when there was just one Fanta taste, it was an orange one and no other Fanta existed. Today it isn’t so. There are many different Fanta flavours. The other day I saw only one Fanta Flavour was on discount and as for lunch I was having pizza …
Morrisons Chocolate Chunk Oaties Flapjacks
These Chocolate Chunk Oaties are amongst the best flapjacks I have ever tasted. They are Morrisons own brand with —˜The Cake Shop’ on the label and they can be found in their in-store bakery section with all the fresh bread. What I like about them is the …
Metromint - Cherrymint Water
Metromint - Cherrymint Water is quite a tasty variety of flavored water that I reach for once, sometimes twice, a week because it is a drink that I find to be pleasant in taste and refreshing in quality. The fact that this is a water-based drink already makes it …
iCakes Dessert Cheesecakes
This dessert package comes in 6 pieces of cheesecakes in 1 whole box, and seeing the picture which showed a delicious cheesecake with lots of toppings like peanut butter, nuts, and caramel fudge, I took home a box with me. I bought this at S&R Price Smart and the …
Pringles Stix Cheese
If I had to, I don’t think I could choose between the cheese-flavored “stix” and the jalapeno-flavored “stix”, both made by Pringles. Both are really good and great to have just as a snack or with a sandwich in place of potato chips. This review is about the cheese-flavored …
Oishi Sponge
Another super junkfood made by Oishi is the choco soaked snack Sponge. The “ring like ” choco crunch that every junkfood lover
will surely crave for.
If you find Oishi Pillows is too sweet that it makes your throat itchy, your search for the equally mouth watering cruchy snack is …
Flavarite Maple Almond Ice Cream
I love ice cream and the maple flavour is one of those special flavours that I love in nearly any type of confection. I first saw Flavarite Maple Almond Ice Cream selling at a local grocery store and I was curious as to how this would taste. So I …
Bounty chocolate bar
Bounty chocolate bar is one of the bars I really like. The coconut taste and the chocolate in a milk cream just go perfectly together. I still prefer Snickers to Bounty but Bounty is delitious too and if there’s no Snickers Bounty is my first choice.
Today there are so …
7UP Nimbooz (lemon beverage)
There is nothing like a large glass of chilled lemonade when you get home after spending hours in the scorching heat. I love lemonade and I prefer it over the carbonated beverages. However I am too tired by the time I get home and I don’t have the patience …
