After reading some positive reviews about Cloverhill Big Texas Cinnamon Roll, I decided to give them a try myself when I went shopping at Sam’s Club a few weeks ago. These rolls are sold in what is probably a vendor’s type of box, a total twelve individually wrapped …

Great value is the brand made by Wal-mart that is what I like to call the —˜cheaper store brand’ alternative to the name brand products. Depending on what the product is, I usually try my luck and get Great Value’s product. I’ve come across some good, and I’ve come …

I purchased this brownie mix for $3.15 at my local grocery store Friday night. We were entertaining guests and rather than spending close to $6.00 for the already made up brownies I decided it would be thriftier (And homier I might add.) to just make my own. As soon …

I already mentioned the Sausage pizza from the brand Borbello’s but I figured I would take a minute to give a quick review of their Chef’s Supreme Pizza; one I actually wasn’t a huge fan of.
The pizza wasn’t terrible, considering I was able to buy two for the price …

I’m a huge chocolate fan and I’ve estimated that I consume about 15 kilos of chocolate a year, which sounds insane, but it’s not that bad if you divide it by 365 days. People say there’re benefits to eating chocolate on a daily basis and I like to believe that, …

These chips really didn’t do much for me. I was quite excited when I purchased them because I love both mozzarella and seasoned marinara sauce, but I can’t say that either the aroma or the taste reminded me of mozzarella sticks or marinara sauce. There was some cheese flavoring …
