Pop Weaver Light Butter Microwave Popcorn
Do you like the dollar store? Well, I do. I got addicted to those chain stores the moment I came to America. I like to look for good deals in there and one day I saw popcorn, which is usually more expensive than 1 dollar. The brands they sell there …
Jell-o Gelatin - Raspberry
Jell-o Gelatin - Raspberry variety is a flavor that I love to have now and then. The raspberry flavor is represented really quite well here and I am exposed to rich levels of raspberry with every spoonful that I take. The raspberry flavor seizes my taste buds and unleashes …
Arnott’s Shapes
A large, 300-gram bag of Arnott’s Shapes was given to me by a friend recently. It was the first time I saw and tasted this product as it has never really been available in the grocery stores I frequent: Shopwise and Waltermart, both in Makati City.
Arnott’s Shapes is …
Valasics Hot Peppers
I really like hot peppers with my sandwiches. The little yellow hot chili peppers that come in jars, like pickles. The best tasting yellow chili peppers are the ones that are very small. But it is hard to find a jar of consistently sized chili peppers. Recently I …
Baked Lays Original Flavor Chips
I was drawn to these chips because of their healthier nutrition content compared to regular potato chips. I love that I can still eat a chip without feeling guilty about it and knowing I am not putting so much fat into my body as regular chips. I have been …
Cheetos
I just love cheese. I love the taste, the smell, the color and the versatility of cheese. One of the cheese products that I truly love is Cheetos. I cannot live without it. If there is one food in the world that I would rather not share, it is …
San Miguel Coffee Pro Slim
I love coffee, but I am one of those lazy people who just cannot wait for coffee to brew especially in the morning when I’m moving slow and have to out of the house in a jiffy. So I stock up on 3-in-1 coffee in sachets so that all …
Fit & Active Chicken Noodle Homestyle Soup
The Fit & Active Chicken Noodle Homestyle Soup comes in a nineteen ounce can for one dollar and nineteen cents. This is a canned soup that I’ve only been able to find at ALDI Food Market stores. In addition to the chicken noodle soup, ALDI Food Market stores also …
Nescafe 3 in 1 Coffee
I am a coffee lover. I always drink coffee like three times a day. Before I used to get a creamer as a partner to my coffee. Because I just love the combination of these two. Good thing there is a ready mix of 3 in 1 coffee. I …
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 …
Tyson Chicken Nuggets & Patties
I really like to buy Tyson Chicken nuggets and patties for my family. Of course the nuggets are a favorite with the kids and I love the patties. I like to get Tyson instead of generic or other brands because I try to by the products that are most …
Uncle Ray’s cheese puffers
My children absolutly love cheese puff snacks. They go through a bag of them every two days, which can get a little expensive. I normally like to stick to more healthy snacks but I let them eat the cheese puffs as there junk food pick of the week. I …
Cloverhill Bakery - Strawberry Donuts
If you are at a grocery store and you come across strawberry donuts from Cloverhill Bakery, I recommend that you just walk right on by and do not pick them up. I purchased these donuts and I was disappointed in them because I did not find a good, noticeable …
Tesco Spotted Dick Sponge Puddings
Occasionally I love to have a good old school dinner type pudding like sponge cake and custard so I tried this product from Tesco’s own range. A box of two Spotted Dick Sponge Puddings cost only about £1 and each sponge includes custard too. On the box, …
Cuervo Gold Margarita
A friend of mine said that he had a new drink he wanted me to try, some kind of margarita. But I noticed that he didn’t have any tequila, any limes, nor a blender of any sort. The drink that he wanted me to try was Cuervo …
Arby’s Deluxe JR. Sandwich
I love Arby’s and yesterday I finally got a chance to try their new Deluxe Jr. Sandwich. I had seen the ads on TV and I was thrilled that they finally jumped on the “value menu” wagon and had a special sandwich—“ and it even had lettuce and …
Kellogg’s Pop-Tarts - Wild! Berry
These pop tarts are quite good. They are made with real fruit, so the flavor is actually pretty rich and real. The berries included in and on top of the pop tarts are: strawberry, cherry and blueberries. I admit that the picture on the box does not really look …
Bertolli Pesto Mediterraneo Pasta Sauce
I am getting to know the Bertolli brand as a really tasty brand as this Pesto Mediterraneo is the third gorgeous product I have tried. I have never tried anything like this before as this is a green pesto but a creamy one that contains ricotta cheese and …
The Co-operative Chocolate Sponge Sandwich
This chocolate sponge sandwich from the Co-operative’s own brand is only 70p and, for that price, it tastes pretty good. It is obvious not a gourmet sponge cake and I find that there is not too much in it, but it was moist and tasted nice and chocolatey …
Bigelow Green Tea With Pomegranate
I have made this pact to myself that I will try all brands of green tea. Ever since I have made this my drinking ritual, it joys me to find out another brand in the market. Just weeks ago, together when I discovered the brand Celestial Seasonings, I get to …
Coke rewards
I have been participating in the coke rewards program since two years ago, roughly 2006. I have earned some fantastic free prices during my stint of obsessively collecting codes and text messaging them in, or sitting down at my computer to enter my codes for points. I have …
Krusteaz: Buttermilk Waffles
Krusteaz: Buttermilk Waffles are alright, although certainly nothing overly spectacular or memorable. They are basically square Eggo waffles really. In terms of taste, they are pretty much identical to the Eggo waffles. They work out to being about equal in size, too. I did enjoy them, but I did …
Il Gelato di San Crispino
Location: The directive of ‘It’s at the Trevi Fountain’ is only half true. The gelateria is actually hidden down a alley a little further away (Via Veneto direction). They also have no signage at the fountain or anywhere else, even the shop barely acknowledges the name, though this makes …
M.Y. San Sky Flakes Crackers
When it comes to crackers I think one of the best tasting is M.Y. San Sky Flakes. Apart from crispy bite, this cracker is has unique tastiness not common to all crackers. Some crackers are dry and bland and hardly enjoyable to take but M.Y. San Sky Flakes Craker …
Silk: Chocolate Soymilk
As a vegan who has experimented with almost all types of main brands of soymilk, I would have to say by far the best tasting one is Silk Chocolate Soymilk.
I have been drinking this stuff for years now, and have still not become tired of it. For those of …
Pasta Roni Garlic and Olive Oil Vermicelli
It takes a lot for me to eat pasta in sauce, but I actually enjoy eating the Pasta Roni garlic and olive oil vermicelli. The Pasta Roni is part of the Rice-A-Roni product line, and it has the same quality as the Rice-A-Roni.
I purchased the Pasta Roni garlic …
Nestea Iced Tea 50% Less Sugar
When I started dieting, I thought juice or iced tea are not really fattening. The idea that its a beverage and it does not contain carbohydrates or fats is the foremost thinking I had. I was naive and ignorant that the reason why carbohydrates is fattening is because the end …
Nutella Hazlenut Spread
I seem to remember that Nutella Hazlenut spread was launched onto the UK market when I was a kid in the 70s but when it came out, I looked at it as the Holy Grail of spreads for children. I hope I am not pregnant or anything …
Post-Honey Roasted Honey Bunches of Oats Cereal
Whether early in the morning for breakfast, mid-day or at night, this is one of the better cereals off the shelf. It’s Nice & Crunchy. I can’t decide which is better…the crunchy flakes or the taste of honey that is so pronounced you can’t miss. It doesn’t matter if …
Maggi Magic sarap all in one seasoning granules
I’ve been a frustrated cook for many years, though I am not that expert I still love to try different dishes or recipe for my family.I prefer lunch and dinner at home, breakfast is never been a problem because I we just prefer coffee and bread in the morning. …
Great Value Vegetable Medley
For just under eighty cents for a fourteen point five ounce can, this mixture of vegetables sold under Walmart’s Great Value brand is worth the money. Although I don’t think the vegetables contained in the can are quite as good and fresh as the vegetables in the frozen bags …
Taco Bell Cherry Limeade Sparkler
I love a good freebie, so when Taco Bell handed out free coupons to try their new limeade drink, I couldn’t pass it up.
This new Taco Bell drink comes in a lime and cherry flavor. I went back and forth on which one to try, but ultimately settled …
Fast Fixin Beef Steak Patties
Having impressed with some other products of Fast Fixin I bought their beef patties. For five dollars the number of patties that are coming in a single packet is very economic. There were a dozen of them inside. But this value for money is perhaps only thing I liked …
Sara Lee Soft and Smooth Whole Grain White Bread
Of all the white breads I’ve had in the past year or so, Sara Lee Soft and Smooth Whole Grain White Bread is probably my favorite. That said, I really haven’t had a white bread that I truly love in a while. Rainbo used to be my favorite, …
Cedarlane Eggplant Parmesan
Cedarlane Eggplant Parmesan is a frozen dinner that I would recommend to any person that loves or just likes eggplant. Even though I am not the biggest fan of eggplant in the world, I do eat it from time to time and I typically do enjoy eggplant even if …
Quorn Veggie Patties and Nuggets
After a long history of eating various veggie burgers, I was really stunned when I bought the Quorn product. My boyfriend, who is a carnivore, had no idea that it was not chicken. The patty and nuggets are white like chicken breast meat, and have a texture that …
Seeds Of Change Certified Organic Seven Whole Grains
Seeds Of Change Certified Organic Seven Whole Grains was a product I decided to give a try after spotting it while shopping in my neighborhood Aldi. I have tried Microwaveable ready to eat packages from Seeds of Change before and had a good experience. So you can imagine …
Bird’s Eye Steam Fresh Frozen Vegetables
I try to eat healthy. Whenever possible, I like to use fresh vegetables and fruits. Sometimes it’s just not convenient though, and so I rely on pre-made products. It takes a good bit of time to clean, wash, cut, and cook vegetables– then there’s all the dish washing afterward. …
Maya Whole Wheat Pancake Mix
One late afternoon right after coming out of the office, I dropped by a nearby supermarket and scouted for food that my kids could bring to school. This task is one that I like doing because I get to choose good food for my little ones. It is also …
Barber Foods Kiev Stuffed Chicken Breasts
I’ve tried many stuffed chicken breasts, but I never had the opportunity to try the ones with the butter in them. I wasn’t sure about getting more than one box of the Barber Foods Kiev stuffed chicken breasts because not all garlic butter is good butter.
I put the chicken …
Wild Cherry Diet Pepsi
My new years resolution for 2008 was to give up drinking regular soda. Granted I thought this was going to be difficult given my extreme hatred for diet sodas. It seemed like every time I had tried diet soda in the past I found myself unable to drink it. …
Lean Cuisine Chicken Teriyaki Stir Fry
I’m becoming a big fan of Lean Cuisine meals, the more I try, the more I like! This is the first time I’ve had Lean Cuisine Chicken Teriyaki. Their website describes it as “Roasted chicken breast topped with water chestnuts, carrots and red bell peppers in slightly sweet teriyaki …
Pepperidge Farm Soft Baked Chocolate Chunk Cookies
Pepperidge Farm Soft Baked Chocolate Chunk Cookies have a very distinctive and rich taste to them that really delights for anyone who partakes in one of these nice-sized treats. This is a premium cookie, so it’s a higher priced one as well. In fact, a single package …
Becel Brand Margarine
Since the day my doctor advised me to keep my blood pressure under control, I stopped taking rich and fatty foods. I used to take a lot of butter with toast at breakfast time too.
I changed to margarines then , different brands. The one brand I am a …
The Nestle Kitkat
One of my favorite chocolate is the Nestle Kitkat because it has a unique style and unique taste for me. It has a wafer and chocolate and it really taste good.

Are you missing the nice food from Indonesia? I know that some people really like to eat the taste food from Indonesia. Especially the food that has special taste because they use special herb when they cook. If you want, you can make it yourself in the house by …
Grandma’s Homestyle Big Cookie Oatmeal Raisin
Although I don’t like oatmeal raisin as much as chocolate chip or peanut butter cookies, this two pack of cookies nonetheless proved to be a flavorful treat. The two cookies that come in a pack are rich with oatmeal flavor and the raisin pieces that decorate the cookie are …
Johnny’s French Dip Au Jus Sauce
My husband truly enjoys french dip sandwiches and I often make them for him at home. The keys to a good french dip are very simple. You need good quality meat, a fresh bun and a good dip sauce. The dip sauce is very important because …
Original Mini Wheats cereal
As a kid, I mostly liked sugary cereals, if given the option. But those aren’t very healthy. Mini Wheats are a good compromise cereal, because they are a little bit sweet but mostly wheat. So not the most healthy in the world, but a pretty good start to a …
Springtree: Maple All Natural Syrup
Springtree: Maple All Natural Syrup is a syrup that is really very rich and delicious, more so even than the syrups made by Log Cabin and Mrs. Butterworth’s, two of my favorites, but unfortunately, I find this syrup to be ridiculously priced and for only, get this, eight point …
