Ore-Ida Steak Fries
For decades, I’ve used various versions of Ore-Ida potatoes. I think my first love was their crinkle fries. Now, though, I’ve tried out another variety, and it’s become my favorite thus far. Ore-Ida Steak Fries are thick cut potatoes. The package describes them as being …

Aquelle Lemon flavored mineral water
I have never really been one to buy bottled water as I believe this to be something of a waste, as I am already paying for water to come out of my taps.
While bottled water has never been on any of my shopping lists, I got to taste some …
Best Kebab - Takeaway in Bedford
When it comes to takeaways, sometimes the old student comes out in me. Let’s be honest, there are some that you would rarely use unless you had not been out of the town or had a few drinks at home first.
There is one in Bedford that does appeal to …
McDonald’s $1 Soda and Sweet Tea promotion

Lean Cuisine Lemon Pepper Fish Frozen Entree

Ken’s Stakehouse Country French Salad Dressing
Ken’s Stakehouse Country French Salad Dressing is a very nice product. It has a highly unique taste to it that goes well with a wide variety of vegetables or salads. It’s very difficult to exactly describe the taste of this dressing although I would say that it …
Chapman’s Premium Ice Cream
I usually buy Chapman’s Premium Ice Cream when I’m sad or on special occassions. Well… That isn’t completely true because the quality of this fine brand makes me often ignore my diet or that little voice in my head urging me to throw caution to the wind and please …
Michelina’s Cheese Pizza
I didn’t care very much for this frozen pizza. Except for the cheese, it was really pretty tasteless. Neither the crust nor the tomato sauce stood out. The crust was thin, although not crispy, and didn’t taste like much of anything or break real easily when bitten into. The …

Sargento - Deli Style Sliced Aged Swiss Cheese

Absolute Drinking Water
Whenever I am caught in the middle of nowhere and have no water or any drinks with me, I would only have one thing in mind: buy a bottle of Absolute Distilled Drinking water. It is an honest testimony, I know there is other distilled water like the more …
Arby’s Jr. Ham and Cheddar Melt
Over the years when I’ve gone to Arby’s, one of the things I’ve purchased more often than not is the Arby’s Jr. Ham and Cheddar Melt which is often on their value menu. I’ve always liked that combination so feel safe that if I order this sandwich, I’ll …

Peter’s Original Party Cake
I’ve been enjoying the Peter’s Original Party Cake for many years now, since I was very young. I don’t eat it all that often though, only several times a year, usually when it’s someone in my family’s birthday. Perhaps this is the reason why I like it …

Jack-N-the-Box Taco
The closest Jack-N-the-Box restaurant to me in Ohio is a few states east, so when I get the chance to have it, I always jump at the opportunity. Recently I had the chance to try their tacos and I’m still a little undecided on them. I’m used to the …
Williams Sharp Cheddar Cheese Dip
Cheese is without a doubt in my top five favorites when it comes to food and snacks. I would go so far as to say it’s even in my top two. I’m not really sure what would beat it out but I love cheese. I enjoy …

Nature’s Own Light Honey Wheat Bread
I found this bread on sale at Publix a few months ago and bought it because I tend to use the lower calorie breads on my diet. Nature’s Own light breads all have only 40 calories and are high in fiber, a big plus for me. The slices looked to …
Wendy’s Ice Cream
It’s getting close to spring time and spring and summer bring hot temperatures. When it gets that hot it’s time to find something to cool you down. Wendy’s new frosty float is the perfect option on those hot days to do just that. Wendy’s restaurants have their own version …
Kellogg’s Special K Cinnamon Pecan
This particular Special K cereal is not bad at all. It is not my favorite, but I enjoy having a bowl from time to time. The cinnamon flavor is quite rich and real, and having pecans in this cereal offers a unique flavor that a lot of cereals do …
DiGiorno Supreme Rising Crust Pizza
We’ve had DiGiorno Supreme Rising Crust Pizza for supper today, one of our family favorites. This frozen pizza costs $4.98 and has pepperoni, sausage, olives, and green and red pepper on it, all evenly distributed. I especially like the rising crust, it is thick and soft, like freshly baked …

Little Debbie Snacks Donut Sticks
Little Debbie Snacks Donut Sticks are really quite good! They are basically a glazed donut, but in the form of a rather long stick rather than a circle. They are quite sweet and decent size, although I wish that they would put more than just six in a box. …

Budweiser Chilada
The Budweiser Chilada has to be one of the most disgusting things I’ve ever heard of in my entire life. Technically this is a name given to beer with a lime flavor, but for some reason Budweiser completely changed that recipe. Their version contains clam juice and tomato juice …
Nestea Peach Ice Tea
Until recently I had never tried iced tea, as I don’t like tea very much when it is hot. My fiancee however loves Nestea iced tea, and she usually has a bottle of it around the place, so that is how I came to try it.
The product …
Cauldron Lincolnshire Veggie Sausages
Cauldron Lincolnshire Veggie Sausages are made with tofu and are much tastier than the Quorn vegetarian sausages in my opinion. I think what makes these —˜Lincolnshire’ sausages is the fact that they contain herbs which does make them really tasty. Also, I understand that Lincolnshire sausages are …
Grape Crush Soda
I’ve already done reviews for this product’s ’sisters’ of a sort, Orange Crush and Strawberry Crush, and now it’s time to let Grape Crush Soda take center stage. As I’ve said before, these products were staples in my home as I grew up. They disappeared from sight …
Maggie tomato sauce
Maggie tomato sauce is very different in its taste. There many kind of flavours in Maggie tomato sauces, such as hot red chilly, one with mint leaves, the regular sauce, etc. I have tasted all of them and I like all the tastes because they are just …

Mrs. Freshley’s SnackAway Chocolate Cupcakes
Admittedly, I was quite skeptical when I first purchased Mrs. Freshley’s SnackAway Chocolate Cupcakes. The reason for my skepticism is because generally, when I purchase low-calorie and reduced sugar foods, especially dessert or snack items, I end up being immensely disappointed in the flavor as there is usually very …

I was given the chance to try Akins treat endulge: peanut butter cups, when I was looking to satisfy my hunger until I could get lunch. I’m not a avid user of Akin products nor I am following their diet. I was given the treat by a friend who …
FISHER PREMIUM WHOLE CASHEWS

Normally, a frozen pizza half …

Deli Pride Cheeseburger
I ended up buying this 99 cent Deli Pride Cheeseburger the last time I went to Save-a-Lot. I figured, at very least, it would be a filling meal.
I have to say, it was one of the grossest lunches I have ever had.
First of all, the whole thing was soggy. …
Royal Crown Cola Softdrinks
Royal Crown Cola, more known as RC Cola are popular makers of Orange soft drinks. I am not a fan until the day that a popular soft drink was out of stock. We have no choice but to buy this one and try it for the meantime. I thought …
