Milo Energy Drink
Whenever we go to grocery stores, there are actually two things that I would want to see. One, a super sale promo, and secondly, a free taste booth. This is not just because I wanted to taste something for free but because I wanted to have a ‘preview’ of …
Lasco Corned Beef
My family never used to buy the Lasco Brand of Corned Beef, but would instead buy Grace corned beef for many years. However, some time ago they had begun to buy the Lasco Brand of corned beef. Now personally, I did not mind trying other brands even though I …
Iceland Walnut Layer Cake
I have been checking out Iceland lately as I have found some good bargains there and they have a good selection of sweet foods. This walnut layer cake only cost me £1 and I thought it was of a very reasonable quality and I have really enjoyed it …
Mrs. Butterworth’s: Sugar Free Syrup
Mrs. Butterworth’s: Sugar Free Syrup is a syrup that I tried once and I only tried once because at the time I was visiting with my uncle for breakfast and it was the only syrup that he had, so I tried just a little bit of it on the …
Del Monte Red Grapefruit
As the name indicates, this is canned red grapefruit and nothing else. I bought it after trying (and liking) Del Monte’s Citrus Salad, where red grapefruit was one of three citrus ingredients. I enjoyed it there, so I bought this variety. Since I already knew what to expect, there …
Tesco Crusty White Sliced Split Tin Bread Loaf
I buy this bread especially for my morning toast as I have found it makes perfect toast. For 90 pence, you get a large sliced loaf with each slice being quite thick and sometimes I even pick this up from the ‘reduced price’ section in Tesco because even …
Great Value Imitation Vanilla Extract
Vanilla extract is something I always try to keep on hand. Although I don’t do much baking, I love to put a drop or two into my coffee to give it a little added flavor. I don’t like bland-tasting coffee, so I love to always have this …
Almond Breeze milk substitute (cold case)
I bought Almond Breeze on the suggestion of a relative who is also diabetic and watching her carb intake. Made from almonds, this milk substitute has almost no carbs, very low calories, and no soy. It can be purchased as a shelf stable milk in cartons, and also …
Bareman’s Orange Juice
I have always been a big fan of orange juice and just lately I can’t seem to get enough of it. I do think there are differences in brands and types and can sometimes be quite picky about which ones I choose. Occasionally I even mix a little …
Coffeemate Creamer
I usually don’t drink hardly any coffee. Although when I get a craving for it this is the creamer that I always use. I really like how it makes the coffee taste. It’s at a reasonable price and comes in a bottle that last me a while because I …
Chicago Meat House Ground Hamburger
Product Description: Frozen one pound pack of ground hamburger (passed on to me from my grandmother, who received it from a friend but doesn’t eat burger).
What I liked about this product: Well, it was free (for me at least) so, based on that, it didn’t have to do too …
Mrs. Freshley’s SnackAway Mini Fudge Brownie Bites
I am not so crazy about Mrs. Freshley’s SnackAway Mini Fudge Brownie Bites. Although they are decent, I personally prefer the frosted chocolate cupcakes that are made by Mrs. Freshley’s compared with these. I guess I just find these brownie bites to be somewhat dull in the flavor. There …
Lucerne Brand Cheeses Made For Safeway & Vons
I love cheese. It is my favorite food group (besides chocolate). I have had many varieties and brands of cheese. I have eaten cheese the world-over from cows, goats & sheep. I have even had soy cheeses. Since Safeway Market is the only available market within 20 miles of …
Del Monte Dark Sweet Cherries
Del Monte Dark Sweet Cherries is my most recent discovery in canned fruit department, and my new favorite. The can full of just cherries, big and red, costs a little more than other Del Monte canned fruit products, but, to me, it is worth every penny. The cherries are …

How many of u like to have a cup of hot tea every morning or in the evening. I am sure there will no one who does not like it. But I was the one who did not like to drink the tea at all. I …
Jell-o Gelatin - Strawberry Daquiri
Jell-o Gelatin - Strawberry Daquiri is part of a failed line - in my opinion - of gelatin desserts that try to take a popular adult beverage and transform that beverage into a gelatin treat that retains the flavor of the drink while making it acceptable for all ages. …
Subway’s Teriyaki Chicken Sandwich
I remember the first time eating Subway’s Teriyaki Chicken Sandwich. My grandpa had suggested that I try this particular sandwich and I have never regretted it!
Of course Subway allows you to choose which bread you want with your sandwich no matter what your order is. But the sandwich contents …

Nestle Coffee Mate
The coffee creamer that everybody knows - it’s Nestle Coffee Mate.
Nestle Coffee Mate has been in the market for quite a while now. With its effective brand ad campaign using media advertisements, it outsells other labels of coffee creamer. And I must say that even without the media hype, …
Heinz Hot Bites - Bagel Bites
I don’t usually buy a lot of fast foods, or pre-packaged foods. I had company coming over to watch a movie, so I bought some Heinz Hot Bites.
These are Bagel Bites, and are actually little tiny bagels, with cheese, tomatoe sauce, pepperoni, and seasoning. When I opened the 198gram …
Wendy’s - Double Stack

Starbucks Treat Receipts
If you are a fan of Starbucks just like I am, than I am sure you have heard of Starbucks treat receipts, a promotion that they typically run through part of the summer. What it is is you purchase a beverage before 2:00p.m. you can bring back your receipt …
Mrs. Dash’s Southwest Chipotle Salt-Free Seasoning Blend
I like Mrs. Dash’s salt-free blends. I think they’re a great alternative to other forms of seasoning that have lots of sodium. I really think they try hard to create the best possible flavor mixtures without adding salt.
Their Southwest Chipotle blend is perfect for any dish that calls for …
Fruit Magic
“5 a day” is what Fruit Magic have for their advertisement. It sticks to the mind like a glue, that we have to eat or drink fruits and veggies everyday to be healthy. Well I used to really enjoy an order from Fruit Magic. I really believe that they …

I went looking to buy some Chapman’s ice-cream but when I saw their Super Cone with a Caramel Centre were on sale high price, I bought a box of eight ice cream cones for only $3.99CDN. What swayed my decision to buy the ice cream cones were that they …
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 …
Pascual Funciona Tropical
The first time I heard about a drink that combines juice and milk I felt sceptical about it. Since I was a kid I was always told not to mix juice and milk. However, one day a friend treated me to one, and I decided to try it.
This product …
Butlers Milk Chocolate Hazelnut Praline Bar
I am not a chocoholic but I really love chocolates. I have a “sweet tooth” they say. But as far as possible, I control myself not to have too much of it because I know excessive intake of chocolate won’t bring about good effects in our body. I am …
Natural American Spirit cigarettes
Good or bad, I am a smoker that enjoys a good cigarette. For years, I smoked name-brands such as Marlboros and Camel products. Then one day, a friend passed me a cigarette I had never heard of. It was a “Natural American Spirit” non-filter. At first I thought it …

Pillsbury Cherry Turnovers
I have just tried making Pillsbury Cherry Turnovers for the first time, and I think it’s a keeper. My husband and I loved them, even though I had messed up a little when cooking.
Unlike some other Pillsbury baking products I’ve tried, these cherry turnovers are not “heat and eat,” …
Jack in the Box: Sirloin Burger
The new Jack in the Box Sirloin Burger is just great. I had one the other day for lunch and it has got to be one of the best steak burgers I have ever had. It was very good and juicy. The burger was fresh and still warm when …
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 …
Barilla Plus Farfalle Pasta
Barilla Plus Farfalle is a new kind of pasta. It is made with multiple kinds of whole grain flours, including typically semolina flour, oat, barley, and spelt flour. It also contains flaxseeds and lentil and chickpea flour, which I think makes it unique among most typically packaged pastas. These …

I am a big fan of Pringles crisp. I eat the Pringle’s all the variety . I loved the cheese and onion and Original the best. The original one has salt with out the touch of any specific flavour in it. I can smell potatoes and taste of salt …
New Zealand Cookies and Cream Ice Cream
I have to say that I’m a little particular when it comes to cookies and cream flavored ice cream. Unless the ice cream itself is really good, I won’t like it. I’ve had a lot that used cheap ice cream and loaded it down with cookies to make it …
Magnolia Cream Cheese Spread
I was a loyal user of Cheez Whiz when I came to know Magnolia Cream Cheese. During that time I was looking for alternative for Cheez Whiz since it was not available. I choose Magnolia since I haven’t tried it and I find the consistency thick because I opened …

The Chocolate Lover’s Wine by Chocolate Shop Wine

Moe’s Southwest Grill Billy Barou Nachos
In the west coast, I relied on a restaurant called Baja Fresh for good, filling nachos. When I moved to the Midwest, there weren’t any branches of that restaurant so I went on a venture to find another good nacho place. A friend introduced me to Moe’s …
Starbucks Via Ready Brew, Italian Roast
I don’t really go to Starbucks anymore, but when I did I was always into their dark roasts like Sumatra or Italian roast. I haven’t had instant coffee in even longer, because it isn’t the best tasting coffee usually. Instant is something I felt I had moved on from. …
