Cadbury dairy milk chocolate is certified Fair Trade

Mrs. Freshley’s SnackAway Yogurt Creme Cakes

Keebler’s Chips Deluxe Chocolate Lover’s Cookies
I just recently “discovered” this particular flavor of this brand and I’d have to say, I like it more than other brands of cookies. I used to be a big Chips Ahoy fan but for some reason , they changed the way they make the cookies. Now, when I …

Betty Crocker has …
Cooper’s Cheeseburger
Only at ALDI Food Market stores have I come across a single, frozen cheeseburger from a company named Cooper’s. The frozen cheeseburger is flame broiled, and that’s what caught my attention as I really like hamburgers that are flame-broiled. Plus, the cheeseburger came on a sesame seed bun, and …
Nescafe Azera Barista Style Instant Coffee Range

Now this …

Pepperidge Farm Milk Chocolate Chunk Macadamia Nut Cookies

Now, how I actually came about …
Quirch Frozen Peas
I like to cook certain dishes with peas, even though they don’t necessarily need peas added to taste good. There is a certain time in our country where we can get fresh peas for low prices per pound. But when these fresh peas go out of season I am …
Bumble Bee Tuna
This is by far the best canned tuna fish I have ever purchased. It’s on the expensive side — the can I have is stamped $1.98, but I’m sure I didn’t pay that much. You can often get it on sale for $1.00 to $1.25 a can, which isn’t …
