We have seriously been trying, as a family, to save money at the grocery store. The main way we have managed to accomplish this is by buying generic products. This was a new step for us because we have always purchased name brand products in the past. However, we …

Sunrise Valley 100% Natural Apple Chips is a great snack for everyone. What I like best about eating a snack like apple chips is that it is all natural and very healthy. If I am hungry and in between meals, I want to eat something that is healthy, not …

I have purchased a Home Run Inn Frozen Pizza every week for my family since trying it for the first time several months ago.
I think this is excellent frozen pizza. Our family is very particular about pizza and would maybe buy a frozen pizza twice a year. …

I buy a certain type of wine each holiday season. The wine is called Electric Reindeer. I buy this at World Market. They have different types of the Electric Reindeer variety. There is a White Zinfandel, Merlot, Shiraz and I believe also a cabnernet.It is a versatile brand.
I like …

It probably sounds fairly cliched to say it, but sometimes I find that the original really is the best, and that is most definitely the case when it comes to corn flakes. Although I have often been quite favourably impressed by the supermarket own brands, none of them has …

Ferrero Rocher’s “Pocket Coffee” has become a time-honoured classic candy by now. Each attractively wrapped chunky praline, made of semi-sweet chocolate, is filled with good quality espresso coffee, which gives it quite a “kick”. When I was a university student, I often did use it exactly as it was marketed: …

Years ago I was on the look out for a dairy free alternative to the Nestle chocolate chips I grew up with. It turned out to be fairly easy because the famous Ghirardelli company makes Semi Sweet Chocolate chips which do not have dairy in their ingredients. And most …

I have seen the comercial for Kimbo about 3 years ago, there’s a man who says that ke likes Kimbo in some Italian dialect and all the comercials are funny.As we often buy things that we see on tv just because we see them on tv I bought Kimbo …

After seeing another one of her other cakes, I wanted to try this one. Though, I’m not crazy about lemon flavored food items, this cake actually turned out to be the best. The frosting can be a little sweet for some but for me it was just fine. However, …

I like to eat chocolate cookies and would take every opportunity to try out new ones. When I was in the supermarket I went to the cookies and snacks section to find a good treat for me.
I saw the Pepperidge Farm line of cookies. There were a lot …

I adore Pepperidge Farm Milano Cookies. They were recommended to me about twenty years ago, and I was very happy to get my first bag. Pepperidge Farm is a quality brand, anyway, but I just hadn’t ever had any of their cookies until a friend suggested these. …

L’oven Fresh Hot Dog Buns retail for seventy-nine cents for eight at ALDI. I see that as a price that no other grocery store or supermarket can match, be it with the national brands or store brands, and seventy-nine cents is a regular, everyday low price at ALDI! I …

One of my favorite places hands down to go eat at in Berkeley. There are very few people who I have also talked to that disagree that Sam’s is an amazing store. Being brought onto the crucial telegraph space next to Walgreens a few years ago, it is one of …

I bought two boxes of this mix recently as I thought they were a great deal price wise, each costing around a dollar. Now, however, I’m not too sure. Generally I like cake mixes for the ease and because they are much cheaper than buying already baked cakes. I …

I have bought Primula cheese spread quite a few times purely out of convenience but I cannot say that I am particularly keen on it. I think it tastes rather processed although it actually contains no artificial flavorings or colorants. It consists of real cheese, skimmed milk, …

Out of all the sodas I have digested in my time, Black Cherry Shasta Cola is one of the best I’ve ever tasted. I’ve never in my time found another flavor of soda so very attuned to my soul. It has a dark mellow kind of taste …

I was just getting over the flu and looking for some sort of ginger drink to ease my stomach when I came across this drink. It sounded like an interesting combination of flavors (I love lemongrass,) so I decided to give it a try. I’d never had kombucha before, …

It has been said that by the time one is thirsty, a state of dehydration already exists in the body. As a result, I am constantly trying to remember myself to drink constantly throughout the day. Because I generally enjoy most diet beverages or waters, I picked …

Breyers Dulce de Leche is a pretty enjoyable variety of ice cream that I like to have. It really appears to my taste buds because this ice cream really offers up a whole lot of delicious caramel flavor. The ice cream itself is caramel ice cream, and in and …

I have intended to try some of the “Greek” style yogurts I’ve seen in grocery stores the last year, but was afraid I might not like them as well as the tradional brands I am used to. I was afraid they might be sour or “too natural” tasting.
When I …

I first recommended it to my mum and aunts for their stiff joints and she has been taking it for over a year now. Tremendous benefits as they feel they no longer get so much joint pain or stiffness upon waking in the morning or climbing stairs. Lately I …

I am a big chocolate and sweet treat lover and my boyfriend knows that all too well. So for my birthday one of the presents he got me was a bar of Cadbury’s Bournville Classic Dark Chocolate. He has never bought me this chocolate before but I feel he …

Ok so I started a diet recently and decided to try Country Time Sugar free lemonade since I love the regular Country Time Lemonade. I mixed it exactly according to the instructions and decided to give it a try. Blahhh! This lemonade has the worst after taste ever! It …

I recently went to my aunt’s house in Palm bay Florida. While I was there, I made myself at home and checked out what they had in the fridge. There was a few cold beers in the fridge so I went and asked if I can have one. …

Penang Laksa is truly awesome. Spicily awesome. If you ever want to travel to any part of Southeast Asia, you can request for this menu: Laksa. Actually Laksa is a noodle type of dish served in a bowl mainly and it has a certain authentic taste that …

My all time favorite honey product to use in teas, on breads and for beauty and medicinal purposes is Mc Lures Creamed Clover Honey. I like this creamed honey because it is thick creamy and rich with sweet flavor and packed full of antioxidants and other potent nutrients that …

If you enjoy pop-tarts, chocolate, or smores, you should definitely try Poptarts in the Smore flavor. Perhaps they don’t have a complete resemblance in even taste to real smores, but oh well. They have a gram cracker-like surrounding with chocolate and marshmellow flavors in the middle. …

Dr. Pepper is another soda to release a line of sodas made from pure cane sugar. I recently tried Mtn. Dew Throwback and fell in love. Dr. Pepper’s version is called “Dr Pepper Heritage” and I expected to be in love with it as well. …

While I am not much of a tea drinker, I find Bigelow Red Raspberry Herb Tea irresistible. I had discovered it at Walmart quite some time ago, and it has been on my regular grocery list ever since. This tea comes in tea bags, there are 20 of them …

One of the weird drinks that I have had recently is the Monster Hammer espresso drink. I saw it while I was shopping at Big Lots and it caught my eye. It came in one of these mini cans for only fifty cents. Big lots usually has great …

Kashi is one of those brands, that’s catches your eye when you’re on a health kick or are looking for a better alternative to your usual sugary selections. Let me tell you, I was opened to a new kind of goodness, called Kashi Go Lean Crunch: Honey Almond Flax. …

I think this is a new product from Albert Heijn. They make yogurt for the children but it is not ins the small yogurt cup. This yogurt has a shape like sticks. That’s why they called it power stick yogurt.
And when you buy one package,there will be six power …

Although this trail mix has the word “spicy” in its name, I really don’t find this trail mix to be overly spicy. There’s a definite degree of hotness and sharpness to the trail mix, but it’s not enough to really set my mouth on fire or anything. It’s kind …

If you really want to impress people with your cooking skills, you will buy this kind of rice. First and foremost, Uncle Ben’s is a great brand. In fact, it is the only brand of rice that I will buy. This is because no matter …

This is a delicious Italian Side from Knorr! It’s got this very rich sauce that has a great triple flavor to it: the sauce has a mixture of lemon, garlic and butter! Each of the three flavors really stand out and complement one another pretty well. The garlic seasoning …

The first time I heard of the “Colombina Muuu Butter Cookies” was when a guy from my university started selling them cheap. At first I really did not care much for trying them since I was never really a huge fan of butter cookies, but after a number of …

As I have stated before, I love greek yogurt with an a burning passion. There is just something about the creamy thickness that pulls me in and takes me way to a blissful place. Almost every brand out there have their own line of greek yogurt with their own …

In a previous review, I spoke highly of one variety of the Bob Evans Breakfast Bakes, namely the bacon, egg, cheese and hash browns one. I came to realize that while I had shared my feelings on that particular Breakfast Bake from Bob Evans frozen breakfast product line, I …

In our house we drink a lot of juice, and do try to stay away from soda & kool aid. We recently tried the brand Bay Mist Cranberry Raspberry Juice Cocktail. The juice comes in a 64 Fl oz bottle. We bought it at Save A Lot for $2.00. …

To me, Bella Rosa Extra Virgin Olive Oil is the best in its class. Because of it, I can’t imagine myself going back to Canola or any other vegetable oil for cooking.
For one, it doesn’t hurt when I’m frying something. You know how you get all …

A few months ago, my husband picked these Trader Joes Ice Cream Bonbons up for me because he knew I liked ice cream and chocolate. I thought it was a sweet idea, but didn’t think too much of it and just put them in the freezer for later.
Now …

In the bowl-shaped package comes honey roasted peanuts, toffee peanuts and salted peanuts. Just by looking at the large package, the three different varieties of nuts appeared to be …

Our supper today was Campbell’s Super Bakes Garlic Chicken with Pasta. This is the first time I have bought this product, so today was the trial. Well, what can I say… It was a meal. Not bad, but nothing special, either.
The package includes pasta, a can of baking sauce, …

I am a bit of a wine fan and I always like to try out the latest offering from my local wine merchant. I reserve the expensive Margaux and Nuits-Saint-Georges for special occasions, so I am not going to be writing about them right now. However, the more popular …
