Nature’s Path: Crunchy Vanilla Sunrise
Nature’s Path: Crunchy Vanilla Sunrise is not quite as good as the maple version of this cereal. I like vanilla as much as I like maple, but maple is undeniably a richer and stronger flavor. Nonetheless, I think this cereal has a tasty flavor to it that does indeed …
Mrs. Freshley’s SnackAway Mini Fudge Brownie Bites
I am not so crazy about Mrs. Freshley’s SnackAway Mini Fudge Brownie Bites. Although they are decent, I personally prefer the frosted chocolate cupcakes that are made by Mrs. Freshley’s compared with these. I guess I just find these brownie bites to be somewhat dull in the flavor. There …
Cheerios
I really like Cheerios. They arn’t a particuarly flavorful cereal, but there is somehting about them that is still a little familiar and tasty to me. I’ve been eating cheerios for ears, possibly since I was small. They dont have all the sugar that other cereals have, and really …

365 Plain Greek Yogurt (32 oz)
Last time I went to Whole Foods, they were out of my favorite brand of Greek yogurt - Greek Gods plain - and I really wanted to get some for breakfast for the next week. I’ve tried several other brands at Whole Foods and not been impressed (including Oikos …

Lyons Golden Syrup has long been used and loved in the homes and bakeries of Europe to add a rich, sweet flavor to their confections and recipes.

I have used this product in …

Chilean Food : calzones de rotos
I’ve been living in Chile for almost 7 Months, and I have tried almost the typical food of Chilean. One of the most famous is Calzones de Rotos, which means torn pants. It’s a funny name, yes. Why is it called that way? because of if shape like a …
Danacol Danone
Who said that everything healthy has to have bad taste? This product is a very good proof that this statement is not correct.
Danone is a company that produces dairies and it has the base in France, in Italy, where I live their products are very popular but I know …
Folgers Coffee
To say I am a coffee drinker is an understatement. I was raised in a family of coffee drinkers and have followed right along. But I have found that as I grow older, I have a problem tolerating the acid in most coffees. Folgers Gourmet is one …
Balconi Mix Max Chocolate Snack Cakes
Dolciaria Balconi is a famous brand of confectionary in Italy and at my local bargain Lidl supermarket I picked up a packet of Balconi Mix Max for a mere 99 pence. I thought this was a bargain because you get ten of these snack bars in a packet …
Blue Bunny Jolly Rancher Bomb Pop
The Blue Bunny Jolly Rancher Bomb Pop is really not that terrific, in my opinion. The reason I am not won over with these bomb pops is because of the flavor. There are supposed to be a multitude of flavors to be found on these bomb pops, but what …
Little Debbie Fall Party Cakes - Vanilla
I like these Little Debbie Fall Party Cakes - Vanilla variety better than the chocolate variety simply because I like vanilla more than chocolate. The cake consists of yellow cake, a white, creme filling, as well as vanilla frosting and shades of autumn sprinkles. Really, this treat looks more …
Sunkist Green Tea
Buying a Sunkist Green Tea is a good decision not. I guess though it was just about Php13.00, or $0.30. This is how much it was sold in supermarkets; I just saw in some convenient stores they sell it for Php4.00 more. I just love trying out …
TastyKake Fall Edition Pumpkin Spice Mini Donuts
If the cooler temperatures and changing of the leaves wasn’t a big enough clue that autumn is here - assuming you live in a part of the world where autumn is a thing - then the countless, and I do mean countless, pumpkin-flavored foods that are now decorating the …
Publix Fried Chicken
Publix fried chicken is one of my favorite discoveries. I love fried chicken, but it is not a food that I prepare at home. I always feel like it is more work than I care to put into the preparation and that a deep fryer helps …
Bugler Tobacco
I started smoking Bugler Tobacco, instead of my regular brand at the time, which was KOOL, simply because it was cheaper ($4.25 as opposed to $6.75) and I needed a break from the menthol. I expected to notice a considerable difference in the taste and the quality of the …
Starkist Chunk Light Tuna in Vegetable Oil
Although the Starkist brand has been around now for quite some time, I honestly do not understand what the appeal is. I do not think the company makes particularly good canned tuna fish, and the Starkist Chunk Light Tuna in Vegetable Oil is as good of an example as …
Cole’s Mozzarella Filled Garlic Bread Sticks Cheesesticks
Tasty is the word that I’d use to describe these frozen sticks! Every stick is filled with mozzarella cheese and boy does that mozzarella cheese taste really good when it’s real warm and gooey! We let these sticks cool for only a few minutes after coming out of the …

Kashi Granola Bars are an excellent source of Fiber (4g) and Protein (5g). A box of 8 bars will set you back about $3.29 and they are available with the other granola and cereal bars at a grocery store near you.

I remember, whenever I go to the school, …
Little Debbie Double Chocolate Muffins
Little Debbie Double Chocolate Muffins are really quite perfect for chocolate lovers, much more so than the chocolate chip muffins because you are getting much more chocolate baked into these muffins. The double chocolate muffins offer two types of chocolate: the more subdued chocolate cake portion and the rich …
Zvecevo, Mikado, milk chocolate
Zvecevo is not one of my favourite brands of chocolate. Actually there chocolates aren’t special at all so I rarely buy them, they haven’t made anything new for ages. That’s why my surprise was great when I saw a great looking collection of chocolates in white wrapping with golden …
IBARAKU Milk COFFEE
By the coffee’s name IBARAKU, you can directly associate it with Japan. But based on one of the Philippine’s local dialect, “BARAKU” means something grand or fully grown, which can be associated with something strong and active. But then, this coffee is not that strong by its name …
Hellmann’s Creamy Balsamic Mayonnaise

Compliments Caramel Flavor Rice Cakes
I now buy these instead of the name brand rice cakes. My kids absolutely love rice cakes and I was buying them everytime I went to the grocery store. I used to buy the name brand packages for over two dollars a pack, but I decided to try the …
Jimmy Dean Croissant Sandwiches - Meal Size
I’ve eaten similar products to Jimmy Dean Croissant Sandwiches, but not this exact one until now. Specifically, this is the ‘Meal Size’ version, which contains four croissant sandwiches to a box. These croissants are a sausage, egg, and cheese sandwich.
The ‘meal size’ sandwiches are, indeed, larger than …
Banquet Salisbury Steak
The Banquet Salisbury Steak frozen meal comes complete with Salisbury steak, mashed potatoes and corn, all for one dollar. The fact that all this food can be sold for one dollar should be a big hint as to the quality of the food. Still, curiosity can be a mighty …

Shiraz Wine (Trader Joe’s)
I really have no idea about where different wines come from. For years I would order Chardonnay, simply because I liked the light refreshing taste. Then I ventured out to explore red wines, like Chianti and merlot. But when I ran across the Shiraz wine …
7 Days Bake Rolls Onion
It says on the package: “Delicious bread crisps seasoned with onion”. And I have to agree with that statement. “Bake Rolls” is indeed delicious.
In my quest to limit my intake of chips, I switched to “Bake Rolls”. One package has approximately 90 grams of baked bread crisps. The onion …
Castleton Salisbury Stakes
Castleton Salisbury Stakes have long been my solution for a quick, tasty, and cheap homemade meal. I buy them at Aldi’s, they are less than $2 for a 2 lbs pack of 6 steaks plus gravy.

The Priano Alfredo Sauce is a product that I’ve only seen at ALDI Food Market stores. At ALDI Food Market stores, one jar costs one dollar and eighty-nine cents. There were two different varieties of this sauce on display, a “Four Cheese” variety and a “Roasted Garlic” variety. Upon …
Zattarans red Beans and rice

Little Debbie Pumpkin Muffins
Little Debbie Pumpkin Muffins are quite good, in my opinion. I like pumpkin flavor, and these muffins boast a fairly delightful pumpkin flavor in each and every bite. The pumpkin flavor is rich and very real. Not quite as rich or real as the pumpkin flavor found in say …
Fresh Express Premium Romaine
I tried this bagged salad once and I liked it, but I didn’t like it enough to spend over two dollars on it again. This salad is a very crunchy one due to the lettuce being romaine. I like crunchy salads, so that’s good. I also liked that there …
Pim Pom loly pops

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.

Cracker Barrel Campfire Chicken (seasonal entree)
During the summer season, Cracker barrel offers some limited-time entrees at very affordable prices. I’ve tried about two of them, both called “Campfire”. My favorite between the two is the Campfire Chicken. This entrée offers a tremendous amount of food for less than $8. First …
Great Value: Microwave Extra Butter Popcorn
Great Value: Microwave Extra Butter Popcorn is pretty delectable, although I was certainly hoping for a somewhat stronger butter coating over the popcorn than what I tasted. I could most certainly taste the butter, but when something reads “extra butter”, I really expect for my taste buds to be …
