Glaceau Vitamin Water
Well I wil say the good stuff first. I appreciate the Glaceau Vitamin Water people for the fact that they don’t use high fructose corn syrup to sweeten their beverages. It is one of the cheapest and most overused sweeteners as of today. Many kids are becoming allergic because …
Sapporo Ichiban - noodles
Instant noodles are often considered a cheap meal - after all, you can get a package for pennies. The brand I like is Sapporo Ichiban, which cooks quickly and comes in several flavours, such as shrimp, chicken, and beef.
The noodles are quite salty if you use the entire package …
Tesco Mineral Water 1.5L Bottle
So far, this is the cheapest 1.5L mineral water that I found in the market that tastes quite as good as Spritzer. I usually bring my own water bottle but somehow I left it in the house the day we went shopping with the kids. I know that bottle …
Chivas Regal
I was out last night with my friends and decided not to drink beer as i can’t seem to get over the last experience i had with a local Beer i drank. So i had half a dozen shots of Chivas Regal. I’ve mostly been used to J&B and …
Madhava Agave Nectar
I recently was introduced to agave nectar as a replacement for honey and other natural sweeteneers. I do not know all of the nutritional benefits other than agave nectar is supposed to be lower on the glycemic index than other natural types of sweeteners. This makes agave nectar better …
Kit-Kat the candy bar
The kit-Kat bar is not a bad candy bar to chow down on and there are many reasons why I like this particular candy bar and maybe like one negative thing I can mention but even that isn’t really bad. I love that the wafer bit is crunchy and …
Shirataki Pasta at Life Grocery in Marietta, GA
My mom was in Life Grocery and spotted a bag of shirataki noodles and knew I would love these noodles. I am always enjoying new foods and ways to cook. I tried the noodles the same day my mom gave me the bag, and I instantly fell …
Ghirardelli Chocolate Double Chocolate Brownie Mix
This boxed brownie mix has chocolate chips in the mix. The chocolate chips that end up being baked right into the brownies provide “pockets” of richer, stronger chocolate flavor amidst the more subdued but nonetheless good brownie cake, hence the “double chocolate” name on the box. Although I wouldn’t …
Michelina’s Wheels & Cheese
This is a very simple frozen meal, to be sure. I can’t even really say that it’s a meal even because just the amount of pasta that comes in a package isn’t sufficient to fill me up. When I had this frozen meal, I added a salad that I …
Microwave Popcorn
Microwave popcorn is the perfect snack. My husband makes a bag of microwave popcorn every night before bed. I don’t always eat some but it is his favorite. It’s such an easy and good snack. Just a couple of minutes in the microwave and you have fresh hot buttery …
Starburst Tropical Fruit Chews
I haven’t had Starburst in a long time, possibly even years, until my brother bought a pack for me recently. I enjoyed it too, even though I’m not usually a fan of many fruity and chewy sweets especially since sometimes some of them seem a bit too sweet to …
American Choice Flavored Water
The American Choice Flavored water is something that I usually buy at my local Wal Mart when I do my shopping. The reason so is because it is something that is usually on sale and I can usually buy a bunch of them at a low price. What …
Minute Maid Pulpy Orange Juice w/ Real Pulp
Since I have a low tolerance in sugar and sweets, I don’t usually drink instant juices without getting the opinion of others who had tried the same product. My friend introduced to me the Minute Maid Pulpy Orange Juice that has real orange pulp content, and I thought …
Arizona Iced Green Tea
Arizona Iced Green Tea is really a great tasting iced tea. i like to make my own iced tea most of the time, but when i decide to purchase a iced tea I want it to be fantastic. This iced green tea definatly fits the bill. It is a …
Wegmans Grape Juice
As a person who frequently drinks juice, there are several different flavors, brands, and varieties that I like to drink. One such brand is Wegmans Grape Juice. Wegmans is a regional grocery store that produces a lot of their own products. The grape juice that the …
Kellogg’s Nutrigrain Bar (Strawberry)
These bars are great, inexpensive snacks. They usually come in boxes of 8, and they are simple fruit filled bars of a cereal. I like strawberry best, but there are other flavours such as Mixed Berry and Apple.
These snacks are not very filling. They are a little bit sweet, …
Morton’s Sea Salt (Coarse Salt)
I love salty food, and I buy a lot of different salts. This is one, though, that I have found isn’t that great on the food after it is prepared. The only exception is for pretzels. It really is great for those. For other foods, …
Quaker Instant Oatmeal Maple&Brown Sugar (lower sugar)
Oatmeal is my go-to breakfast: it tastes great (if cooked right), it doesn’t take much time to cook, it’s healthy, it suites most people’s needs (it’s usually vegan, it’s gluten free and I don’t know anybody who’s allergic to oatmeal) and it’s cheap. Seriously, is there a better breakfast option? …
Stouffer’s Corner Bistro Margherita Flatbread
Stouffer’s Corner Bistro Margherita Flatbread is probably something that is geared towards vegetarians or for those that simply love vegetables. I personally find the sandwich to not be filling at all, really. It is sort of fine if I am not too hungry and it is lunch time and …
Nissin Chow Mein (Chicken flavour)
Nissin’s Chow Mein is just like those ramen noodles you get in the small packages but this one comes in a square shaped container which is about 6 inches long all around. The reason for this is so you can microwave it. This is supposed to be a quick …
Smart Ones Morning Express Breakfasts
Smart Ones Morning Egg Express Breakfasts are perfect for anyone who wants to get a hot healthy breakfast without all of the calories. I got the ones that were English muffin, egg and Canadian style bacon sandwich and it was absolutely great. To start with they taste absolutely …
Lotte Choco Pie
It tastes heavenly as I may describe it. Lotte Choco Pie is something that I really like to have in my snack. It is a chocolate covered sandwich cream that is with a soft marshmallow in between.
It is with wheat flour and yummy chocolate covering the biscuit type of …
Tang Orange Flavour Crystals
I have been a huge fan of the orange crystal drink Tang for over 20 years. I first discovered Tang as a small child in Florida on vacation twenty years ago.
One of the unique things about Tang is the packaging. Unlike other commercial powdered drinks, Tang comes in a …
Cloud 9 Munch Monster
I grew up enjoying some local chocolate treats here in the Philippines. There are quite a lot of things I enjoyed as a kid and this includes the Cloud 9 chocolate bars. These chocolates are simple nougats topped in caramel and wrapped in chocolate coating. What I liked with …
Airforce Nutrisoda
A few months ago, I came across Airforce Nutrisoda, a fruit flavored soda that was supposed to be good for me. I eagerly bought an 8.4 oz. can for $.79 and took it with me to work, to see if it would help energize me AND taste good …
Presidents Choice organics fruit snacks for toddlers
One of the best things about being a mom is seeing the joy and excitement on your new baby’s face when they recognize a package or know you are going to give them a treat! Sometimes it is hard to decide what to give, and what kind of …
Squeezed for you Calamansi Extract
The last time I commented on the same kind of product but of different brand, I had to be really mean because I have nothing good to say about the product except that it was cheap. Well, computing and thinking about it, this product is also cheap because it …
Nutella Chocolate Hazelnut Spread
I am an extremely, 100%, die-hard, number one fan of this spread: the Nutella Hazelnut Spread. And I’m not being overly dramatic when I say it’s like heaven inside the mouth. It’s just so smooth, creamy, tasty, and it has just the right sweetness. The only downside is that …
PurAqua Frut Flavored Water Variety Pack
I found this flavored water from PurAqua, and yes, it’s spelled “frut” as opposed to “fruit” on the packaging for some odd reason, to be more refreshing than flavorful. Naturally, it’s going to be refreshing because it’s water, and when it’s enjoyed good and cold, it’s a refreshing, thirst-quencher. …
Sicilian Cheese
I consider Sicilian Cheese to be one of the traditional forms of cheese around. My mom use this type of cheese at times just for a different cheesy taste flavor for her different recipes ranging from pastas right up to pizzas and grilled baked stuffs.
Of course, Sicilian Cheese originated …
Lean Cuisine Baked Chicken
I usually like Lean Cuisine meals, but this one was disgusting. I didn’t even finish it, and that’s really saying something for me! Lean Cuisine’s packaging describes this meal as “chicken tenderloins with cornbread stuffing & whipped potatoes.” There wasn’t one thing I liked about this meal, so let’s …
Milka Tripple Choco Cocoa, chocolate bar
New Milka product is always a thrill for me so imagine how happy I was when I saw that two new types of Milka chocolate bars were out. I like the original milk Milka chocolate because it is delicious and it is not too sweet for my taste, so every …
POMEGRANAT JUICE
I am very aware of the differences between pure juices and juices that have additives, colorings, preservatives, etc.. I truly enjoy drinking the pure juices, as they are so much healthier to drink, and so much more cost effective, as I am not paying for ‘junk’ I don’t want …
Alpen Swiss Style Muesli
I used to like Alpen a lot when I was a kid and it occurred to me recently that I had not had it for years. I must have seen an advert for it as I was developing a craving, so I bought a box for £1.49. …
Must Bites
Wow must bites, I just love them to eat. It is a very good, tasty and interesting snack from Parley Company. It gives made of some flour and creamy cheese and very good taste maker. The taste is just too good. It is a very …
Mrs. Freshley’s SnackAway Yogurt Creme Cakes
I did not care too much for Mrs. Freshley’s SnackAway Yogurt Creme Cakes because they reminded me too much of Hostess Twinkies in both texture and taste and I really do not like Twinkies! The cake itself is soft, and although I normally do not mind soft cake, I …
Hershey’s Dark Chocolate Sundae
Recently I went to Mini Stop a famous convenience store here in the Philippines because I wanted to buy some beverages and cellphone load. After doing so, I saw the sign that they are selling Hershey’s Dark Chocolate Sundae for only 15 pesos which in dollars is just $0.31 …
Kellogg’s Mini-Wheats
This cereal is a very impressive blend of healthy and tasty. Yes, it can be done. It is possible for something to have flavor but still be good for a person! These mini-wheats have delicious frosting that cover healthy layers of fiber and they are tasty to eat whether …
Arby’s Value Soft Drink
Okay. I have a beef, a big beef, and I regret to say that it has absolutely nothing to do with hamburger, sirloin burgers, or any other food that has anything remotely related to beef. Rather, my beef is with this so called Arby’s Value Soft Drink.
Value? …
Marmite Oven Baked Cashew Nuts
These Marmite Oven Baked Cashews are really nice and obviously quite moreish as I have got through a whole packet today and now I feel queasy. I was so enjoying them walking along back from the supermarket that I finished the lot, and the whole bag contains over …
Healthy Choice Portabella Spinach Parmesan
I was interested in trying this Healthy Choice Pasta entrée because I love the combination of mushroom and spinach. It would have been better if it was broccoli, but you pick and choose from the choices you’ve been given. Also, this entrée was under 300 calories, had …
A.C.T. Energy drink
This review is for the A.C.T. Energy drink. This is a new healthy energy drink on the market being sold online. The company behind it is m2c Global. They have been in business four over 24 years creating nutritional products for major companies like costco, walgreens, trader joes, and …
Clancy’s All Natural Jalapeno Kettle Chips
I’m someone that prefers kettle chips over regular potato chips. I like how kettle chips are typically derived from thicker potato cuts, have slightly fewer calories and tend to be crunchier. What I don’t like about kettle chips however is the prices that they typically sell at, which can …
Fuji Tea House & Sushi Bar in Memorial City Mall
If you’ve ever been to Memorial City Mall you’ll notice the wide array of food to choose from in the food court. It’s actually one of the better food courts I’ve seen because of how many selections it offers. One of my favorite places to drop by while I’m …
Fisher Cheese Balls
I’m a junk food addict. Our pantry would never be empty of chips, chocolates or candies. One of the products which I absolutely love is Fisher Cheese Balls. I came across it one day while I was scouring the grocery shelves for a similar …
McDonald’s McFlurries
McDonald’s McFlurries are like heaven in a cup. The fluffly taste and crunchy tidbits are a must-have on a hot, scorching summer day, instantly cooling you down.
They come in many different flavors, in fact, sometimes they even have limited edition flavors. I remember my first McFlurry. …
Albertson’s Chocolate Sandwich Creme Cookies
Oreo cookies have been around now for several decades. It’s not a complex cookie by any means, yet it’s a very satisfying cookie that can be enjoyed a variety of ways, as the Oreo cookie commercials used to show. Nabisco Oreo cookies sell for over or around three dollars …
Diet Pepsi Max
In January of 2005, I had the opportunity to go to Europe where I first discovered Pepsi Max. This delicious, zero calorie drink has 69 mg of caffeine in every 12 oz can. That is about twice the caffeine of regular Pepsi. It has …
Horlicks
I am the mother of 3 children. Naturally I love my kids and always struggle to do the best for them. My elder boy is 12 years old and he is good by all means but the only problem with him is, he is not having enough …
