Simply Potatoes Shredded Hash Browns
Simply potatoes shredded hash browns were spotted by me at Albertsons and I got curious about that. If I can make hash browns at home easily, that would be a great thing for me because I eat hash browns from restaurants very often. So I decided to purchase it. …
The best salsa in a jar
I admit, I’m not a true Bostonian. I grew up in that southwestern corner of CT that was claimed by the NY-Yankees. I never liked the Red Sox.

Harvey’s Bristol Cream Sherry
The Spanish have a thriving wine industry which produces some of the better-known brands in the world. The Cava brand could be argued to be the —˜poor man’s champagne’ by some, but it must be said that many of the Spanish Cavas are actually nicer than the Champagne they …

Aquafina Peach Mango flavored Water
This is the best flavored water I have ever had. It doesn’t leave a nasty taste or a after taste in your mouth. It doesn’t even taste like water at all. Every time I buy some it goes really quick. Every time I drink it, I end up drinking …
Teriyaki Beef Jerky from Albertsons
The real teriyaki flavor is there with this beef jerky. But the content of the packet was less and contrary to size of the packet the number of pieces was less. I use beef jerky as a usual snack and this teriyaki beef jerky is finished in a day. …
Drake’s Yodels
Drake’s Yodels are long and fat chocolate creme-filled cakes. They very much remind me of Hostess Ho-Hos in color, shape and flavor. On the outside, there’s s layer of chocolate frosting that goes all around the Yodel snack cake. The chocolate frosting has a mildly rich flavor to it. …

Pringles Stix Honey Butter
I didn’t care very much for the honey buttered Pringles Stix. First of all, they weren’t too generous with the honey because there wasn’t much honey flavor. There was enough to make the snack slightly sweet, but it wasn’t a rich flavor that led me to crave more. I …
Craisins (Ocean Spray)

Kellogg’s Cocoa Krispies Cereal Straws
These chocolate edible wafer straws are not at all bad. The chocolate flavor is not incredibly rich or flavorful - they are actually a bit on the mild side, although the mild flavor is still good. They are certainly crunchy though, and I definitely like that. Do these edible …

The new Cherry 7 up Antioxidant soda
