Little Debbie 100 Calorie Snacks Nutty Bar PB Stix
Little Debbie 100 Calorie Snacks Nutty Bar PB Stix turned out to be quite the disappointment for me. The reason I found them to be disappointing is because the flavor was not what I was expecting. Since this is a low calorie snack food, the snack food itself suffers …
Ben & Jerry’s Single Size Ice Cream
All types of food come available in various sizes these days, but I had to admit that I was very surprised when Ben & Jerry came out with a single serving size of their ice cream. Each mini-carton is about 3.6 ounces, and each comes with a small …
Archer Farms Simply Balanced Whole Wheat Tortillas
I really love these whole wheat tortillas from Target. Archer Farms is the Target store brand. I don’t know if all Target stores carry these, but the one near my house does and I was really surprised to find them, too. Why? Because I am allergic to soy (all …
Mrs. Freshley’s Blueberry Muffins
Although Mrs. Freshley’s Blueberry Muffins definitely contain a richer amount of blueberry flavor than the one-hundred calorie blueberry muffins, the flavor is still not nearly as impressive as the Little Debbie Blueberry Muffins. Whereas the Little Debbie muffins off an explosive degree of blueberry taste that really excite my …
Fiber One Oats & Chocolate Chewy Bars
I like having granola bars (or something similar) on hand in our house. This is both because they work great as part of school lunches and because it’s always nice to have something like that within easy reach if I don’t get time to have a big lunch and …

Kozy Shack Chocolate Pudding
I don’t often buy pre-mixed ready to eat puddings, but I made the exception with Kozy Shack. I was in my local grocery store and came across a cardboard container with four ready mixed, chocolate puddings. The cardboard backing said that these Kozy Shack chocolate puddings only have 60 …
Friendly Farms Whipped Topping
Friendly Farms Whipped Topping comes in an eight ounce container for seventy-nine cents at ALDI Food Market stores. It, along with the Fit & Active brand, are the cheapest whipped toppings that I’ve come across, except when stores such as Walmart or Kroger place whipped toppings on sale. Sometimes …
Ronzoni Bistro Rotini with Tomato and Basil
One of the nice things about Ronzoni Bistro Rotini with Tomato and Basil is that I can heat up the pasta right in the bag. That is right - no need to dirty a dish for this pasta creation! Preparation could not possibly be easier - just stick in …
Nestle KitKat chocolate bar
Nestle KitKat is probably one of the few snacks I’ve enjoyed since young. Even till this date, I have KitKat cravings every now and then! KitKat is a waffle bar, coated with milk chocolate. In my opinion, the price of one KitKat bar is reasonably low for such a …
Tesco Crunchy Caramel Biscuits
You get 15 of these —˜treat size’ chocolate caramel biscuits in a packet and it only costs about £1. I think these are heavenly and you will like them if you like Twix as these are Twix rip-offs, but in a fun-size. These are from Tesco’s own …
Great Value: Cocoa Cool Cereal

Crosse & Blackwell Macaroni Cheese Pasta & Sauce
I think this macaroni cheese from Crosse & Blackwell is really tasty considering it is just a dried pasta and sauce mix in a sachet. It is really easy to make and can even be cooked in the microwave, as I have done. It was also really …
Wendy’s - Jr. Bacon Cheeseburger
Wendy’s - Jr. Bacon Cheeseburger is a good alternative for me if I do not want something that is as heavy as the Baconator sandwich. This sandwich is quite a bit smaller, yet it can still help to make for a satisfying lunch if I add a cup of …
hint - Raspberry Lime
Raspberry Lime flavored water from hint is definitely a delicious combination of two tasty flavors! Having that combination infused into water makes for a drink that is both refreshing and really quite tasty! I like both raspberry and lime and both flavors are really well represented in this drink. …
Reed’s Ginger Brew
Many of us have grown painfully accustomed to generic brands of gingerale that are essentially composed entirely of sugar, water, and molecules that may have once, at some point in their physical existence, resembled something that might have been classified as ginger.
Reed’s ginger ale (achohol-free), though slightly more expensive, …
Contessa Green Cuisine Meals
While I like the concept behind Contessa Green Cuisine meals; make a frozen food product while working to reduce pollution, I have to say I found myself unimpressed when I had one of the dinners last night.
I had the Chicken Stir Fry and it had zero taste. It was …
Smithfield Smoked Ham Half Picnic
This past Thanksgiving, turkey has always been a tradition at my mom’s table, but last year we decided to go with ham instead. Neither one of us wanted to slave over prepping a ham and making a glaze for it, so we decided on buying a Smithfield smoked ham.
The …
Nutter Butters Cookies
I had never had nutterbutters cookies until last week when my boyfriend brought over a box. Since then I have been slightly addicted to them. Nutter butters are peanut butter cookies that have peanut butter in between them. Sort of like an Oreo with peanut butter instead have chocolate …
Betty Crocker Homestyle Creamy Butter Mashed Potatoes

Eat Natural Nut and Fruit Bar
This is basically a kind of muesli bar which is full of natural ingredients - hence the brand name ‘Eat Natural’ - and yet it has a nice amount of delicious chocolate too. This means that I can get a hit of chocolate and can convince myself that …
Mountain Dew
I used to drink Mountain Dew soda on occasion as a teenager. The sweet tangerine taste was a welcome variation to the regular colas and lemon lime sodas years ago.
Mountain Dew has a distinctive citrus flavor, unlike anything else on the market. It also has a bright electric almost …
Hannaford Cola Drinks
So, last week we were in our local grocery store and my notice the brand named cola drinks were way more than we wanted to pay. So, instead we decide to try the Hannaford Cola and it tasted pretty good. It was less money and taste just like cola …
SueBee Orange Blossom Honey
I love bread. I also love honey. Put them together and you have nature’s most perfect food. Now, I am not someone who goes out and looks for something sweet, like cake, or candy, or chocolate. But with honey, I love the sweet. I first …
MacDonalds Fries
There is no doubt for me that one of the highlights of going to MacDonalds is their fries. I have always loved them and wish they could be readily available at home. I understand that this would probably turn me into a very overweight being, but they are lovely.
It …

Mott’s Natural Apple Sauce - Six pack
Actually, when you look at the label for this food product, it says Mott’s Natural Apple Sauce & Vitamin C. I like to call it a more simple “apple sauce.”
For me, apple sauce goes back to my childhood and one set of my grandparents. When visiting them, …
Chick-fil-A Biscuit
Chick-fil-A Biscuit is just that: a biscuit. Nothing comes on it and nothing comes with it. I order one on occasion to go with some other breakfast item at the fast food restaurant because I personally think that Chick-fil-A has just about the best biscuits out of any of …
Tesco Value Spicy Curry Flavour Noodle Snack
This Spicy Curry Flavour Noodle Quick Snack is from Tesco’s Value range and it only cost a mere 32p or thereabouts. Sometimes these really cheap, economy products turn out to be not so bad and sometimes they are so disgusting that it is just false economy to buy …

After typhoon Ondoy forced my family to temporarily leave the place we grew up in (my house needed extensive renovation), I had to also temporarily refrain from my little pleasures in life, such as brewed coffee.

Betty Crocker Super Moist Carrot Cake
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 …
Werther’s Original Chocolate Caramel

Stouffer’s Vegetable Lasagna

Pepperidge Farm Texas Toast Parmesan
No other company that manufactures and sells Texas Toast in my area carries anything similar to this flavor of Texas Toast made by Pepperidge Farm. I tried this Texas Toast once and I was real impressed with the flavor of it. This Texas Toast has a parmesan topping that …
Lu Pim’s Jaffa cakes
I really like Jaffa cakes and I like them fresh soft and hydrated. Well maybe the word hydrated aren’t the best one but what I want to say is that sometimes these Jaffa cakes can be very dry and not very tasty. So I don’t like to experiment with …
