I decided to buy these burgers at Costco last week. I was having a BBQ and figured I’d try them out. I’ve bought the Kirkland ground beef patties before and wasn’t thrilled by them. They’re already thin before you cook them. After you cook them …

Since I bought Great Value Diet Green Tea, I became aware and started finding some tea that Great Value brands offer. I started to introduce my family to healthy drinks so I was on the look for those kinds. I bought another one from Great Value and this one …

I had already tried the Dolmio Sweet Tomato & Chilli stir-in sauce and that was lovely so I thought I would try this other variety which is made of oven roasted vegetables. I have discovered that roasting vegetables is the best way to bring out their flavour and …

Hershey’s 100 calorie pretzel bars were something that I bought the last time I went on a shopping trip to Costco. These bars are unique and flavorful, and the best thing about them is the fact that they are only 100 calories. The bars are small, but …

There is one thing that I can think of–off the top of my head–that I’m guilty of: Not learning to make brownies from scratch. Luckily for me, there’s Betty Crocker in the wing ready to help me out and impress my mom who know I can’t cook–I’m working on …

I know I already have attested and admitted how much I enjoy drinking a cup or a glass of cold coffee or frappucino. Well it is not quite obvious that even coffee mixes in tetra packs have been tried by me. Just this morning, I tried the “coffeehouse” brand …

I’d strongly recommend these waffles to any waffle lover out there. They are truly a great way to wake up in the morning! I always look forward to having a good breakfast to start my day and usually eat these waffles 4 to 5 times a week. They’re regular …

I’m not a big drinker. I have some health issues which mean that one or two drinks is pretty much my limit and that is one of the reasons I like Kahlua. It’s the perfect drink for every now and then.
Firstly the taste of Kahlua is pretty …

Recently, I decided to splurge a bit and instead of using just packets of taco sauce for my homemade tacos, I tried out Newman’s Own All Natural Chunky Salsa - Mild. As a fan of actor Paul Newman, I have long applauded what his charity organization has done. …

I have eaten these since high school! They are under 3 dollars and are tasty! They’re like a pizza rolled up into a bite sized thingy. They can be found at any grocery store and if you ask any college student about them they will know. I think these …

If your a fan of the spicy flavor of the ginger fruit and you like soda then I would recommend the JCS Reggae country style brand Ginger Beer soda. I dont know why it has beer in the title because it is non alcholic but it’s a drink …

Who doesn’t love Easy Mac??!?! When you are in college with only a microwave in your dorm room and the eatery is closed, what do you do? You pour the noodles in a bowl, pour some water in the bowl, put it in the microwave a few …

I’m not one of those persons who would like or buy every single brand of ketchup, especially some of the cheaper ones since I’ve noticed that some of the cheaper ones taste a bit “different” and at times even look a bit different from the other brands of …

Breyers Chocolate Chip is one that I found to be disappointing. The reason I found it to be disappointing is because there really was not a whole lot of chocolate chips decorating the vanilla ice cream. I was hoping that the ice cream would be loaded with rich chocolate …

I remember Kix from my childhood. Those little round balls of goodness were “Kid Tested-Mother Approved” and it certainly seemed that way to me. I loved them! So, now that I am a mother of my own I saw a two pack on sale and figured it would be …

I’ve already done reviews for this product’s ’sisters’ of a sort, Orange Crush and Strawberry Crush, and now it’s time to let Grape Crush Soda take center stage. As I’ve said before, these products were staples in my home as I grew up. They disappeared from sight …

First of all, I had better emphasise that “jelly” in the case of this product means the British use of the word, as in what Americans tend to call “Jell-O”, rather than being any sort of jam. Hartley’s is the company that bought out the old Rowntree’s Jelly products …

If you are not familiar with Maruchan Yakisoba Noodle meals, they are basically a pasta based meal that does not require refrigeration and that can be prepared in the microwave. Yakisoba noodles are similar to ramen noodles.
I recently bought a number of the Maruchan Yakisoba Noodle meals when …

I really enjoy a cheese with a strong flavour, especially smoked cheese and this Bavarian Smoked Cheese from Sainsbury’s is particularly strong. It has a gorgeous, strong smoked flavour that is utterly mouthwatering and really intense. I have sampled other brands of smoked cheese and I would …

It seems like I can always rely on Amy’s to make yummy packaged food. The Amy’s Enchiladas are no different. Just good and natural.
I love their enchiladas. They take 5 minutes in the microwave, but do not taste like a microwave food. They taste like …

I am a fan of Tasty Bite, so I picked up a package of their new simmer sauces to try out. I was surprised to find it at my local WinCo Foods, but glad because it was very inexpensive there, just a little over a dollar.
This one, Tasty …

I am not generally a big fan of meals that contain a lot of pastry, but my exception to the rule is Schneiders Lean Stuffs Chicken Quesadila pockets. Often they are a ridiculous price at my Supermarket, but when they came on sale for $2.50 I bought them. What …

I use quite a bit of Lipton tea bags. I usually make iced tea with it but have, on occasion enjoyed a cup of hot tea. Lipton brand tea bags are a bit more expensive than other brands at $5.99 per 100 count box. I choose to purchase Lipton …

There are very few non-alcoholic drinks like Bavaria around. Sparkling water can be rather expensive. Thus Bavaria provides a cheaper alternative which comes in a bottle or a can. One can of Bavaria is comparable in price to a can of Coke. We bought the Bavaria cans of drinks …

In my family cheap ice creams aren’t very popular. My parents and my sister would rather buy a very expensive ice cream just once a week than several cheaper ice creams so that they could eat ice cream every day in the week. I am not like that …

Unlike the chocolate variety of mini-donuts, Mrs. Freshley’s Halloween: Powdered Mini Donuts actually have a pretty decent flavor to them and I will say that I enjoyed devouring the six mini-donuts. The powdered sugar provided these donuts with a satisfying flavor that left me with a smile on my …

While not incredibly delicious or memorable, this Blue Bunny Original Ice Cream Tin Roof Sundae is an ice cream that I did enjoy. The vanilla ice cream used in this variety is not quite as flavorful, creamy or rich as the all-natural premium vanilla, although it is still certainly …

Yesterday, I ordered pizza from pizzahut.com in order to use a coupon I was given from another website. It was my first online pizza order experience and my first time in a long time ordering from pizza hut. I am a big Papa John’s fan.
Ordering online was convenient …

Our daughter, like most children, has discovered she loves chocolate milk. And, even though we do try to keep it limited, we have no problem giving this to her if it means she’s getting the calcium she needs to grow.
After buying expensive brand names for a few months, we …

Because I’m a cheapskate who sometimes resorts to counting change and heading to the Golden Arches for the $1.00 value menu, I have become a seasoned eater of the double cheeseburger at McDonald’s. In the last year, I have probably had about 80 of them, usually two at …

The Grill, an extension of the “J” cafeteria at Humboldt State University, serves hamburgers five nights a week. They don’t make a burger until you order it, so it is always fresh.
The Jack burger is $1.25 with a meal plan or $3.75 if you are paying with cash. …

Usually I would not choose to have egg mayonnaise as I tend to find it rather bland, but I thought I had nothing to lose in trying this one from The Co-op’s own brand as it was reduced to only 25 pence. The Co-op is great for dramatic …

I used to think that Maxwell House instant coffee was generally of a reasonable standard but this particular instant coffee in their range is rather poor quality. I have to admit, this was incredibly cheap from a bargain supermarket I visited recently for only £1 for 100g and …

If you ever tried anything from Amy’s Kitchen brand you probably love them, or at least like them. They now make cakes. Add Amy’s knowledge of how to make yummy food with my favorite thing, dessert and it is dangerous.
Anyway it took forever to find anyone who sold their …

I thought I would review these ginger biscuits from Morrisons Value range because I cannot tell any difference between these and the more upmarket, expensive brands and you get a long packet of loads of biscuits for only 31p! OK, they are packaged in Morrisons’ nasty bright yellow …

I was in one of my stingy modes when I went grocery shopping at the Gaisano Country Mall, Cebu City, Philippines this weekend. While looking at the freezer containing processed and preserved foods, I was struggling with myself on what breakfast food to buy.
I saw the Payless …

Nestle is a very good and old company which produces many kind of chocolates and other such milk products. And now I am going to share my experience about using the Nestle Milo health drink, which I used for my kids. I had heard a lot about …

Every since I was a kid, I remember eating these great Sun-Maid Raisins. These raisins taste very good and make a great snack. Another thing that is great about these raisins is that they make a healthy snack. I rather eat Sun-Maid Raisins than candy or something that’s not …

Colacao is not just any cocoa powder, but my favourite one. When adding Colacao to my morning milk, it makes it taste really wonderful, with a clearly defined cocoa taste.
The container hasn’t changed much since I was a kid, so it is very easy to identify. It doesn’t taste …
