For many years, I have been a Diet Pepsi addict. Basically, that is the only soda that I will drink. In my opinion, no other soda measures up to the taste. It has a great cola flavor, without the diet after taste. Recently, I noticed …

I would not even try to pronounce —˜Farfalle’ so for those of you who are as ignorant as me on Italian pasta terminology, these are pasta bow-ties, about an inch and a half in length. They are from Sainsbury’s own brand and they cost me about 68p for …

Being on a budget, I sometimes have to opt for off brand sodas. Not all of them are up to par. Kroger’s Big K Cola may be the best of the worst.
Ice cold, these colas are not bad. They taste the most similar to real Coca …

Of all the canned tunas on the market - and boy there are are a lot - the 365 Everyday Value Chunk Light Tongol Tuna in Spring Water is my favorite. It is my favorite for more than just a few reasons. I think the reason I enjoy this …

I always bring Heinz biscuit with me whenever I go out to travel with my baby since it is difficult travelling on the road with somebody crying all the time because of a hungry stomach. One thing I like about this food is that my baby loves eating …

Sponge and custard is a favorite pudding of mine and takes me back to old school days so I picked up this Simpsons Syrup Sponge & Custard from my local bargain supermarket, but it truly was a disappointment. It comes in a can and you cook it in …

Cheesecake is one of my all time favorite desserts but it has to be a quality cheesecake or I will not buy it. I find a lot of cheesecakes to be a let down but this Chocolate Brownie Cheesecake from Tesco is delicious. I only recently discovered …

Earlier on in my life, I wasn’t really a lover of mayonnaise. It was only until recently though that I’ve come to appreciate mayonnaise in a good sandwich. I’ve also realised that not all mayonnaise are as good as others in terms of taste especially after trying quite a …

Great Value: Hamburger Buns taste fine when compared with name brand products. After all, there is really not much to a hamburger bun, now is there? These hamburger buns are soft and a decent size too and do a decent job holding a good sized burger with some toppings …

I admit the first time I get to taste Power Pops I was enthusiastic about it because this is the first time I get to taste hard rice that is sweet. Power Pops is a crispy chewy cereal snack with real butter and milk. It contains 100% cereal goodness …

I’m the type of iced tea lover who’s extremely picky about the teas I drink. When in restaurants, I hate when the waitress refills my iced-tea glass without asking-completely disturbing my perfect tea/sugar ratio. With that being said, I discovered Mayfield’s Iced Tea in the gallon …

Who ever thought of combos deserves an award. Combos are a pretzle, that is made into a tube form, and then filled with cheese. These are really tasty, and fillling. i usually like to go on a search for combos when im on a road trip and stop off …

Quick Eaze Gravy Mix is what my kids call the cheating way to make gravy. I guess they call it that because as the name implies it is easy to make gravy from their mix. All you do is add 1 cup of cold water to the season packet …

In my early twenties, as I started to go off the Big Macs I turned to the McChicken Sandwich at MacDonalds after hearing good things about it. A piece of breaded chicken in a bun with mayonnaise and lettuce was actually pretty good. My only usual criticism of …

I am not at all hesitant to reveal that I have found the bread of all breads right at my local supermarket! Bakers Inn produces sliced breads that come in a brown bag, and they are fabulous. I really feel like I am eating fresh bread each …

Today, I bought Conimex Fried Rice. What is that? It’s an instant herb that you can buy in the supermarket or grocery store if you want to cook Indonesian Fried Rice.
The price of Conimex Fried Rice ( Nasi Goreng ) is not expensive at all. I bought one …

Campbell’s Condensed Tomato Soup used to be one of my most often-used cooking ingredients - until I had tried the Great Value brand and discovered that it works just as well. After that, I am sorry to say, I betrayed Campbell’s tomato soup and stopped buying it. Still, it …

It’s breakfast time once again! And once again, I have an old favorite brand “returning to the ring” with a new flavor on toast– Cooper Farms Fig Preserves. But, how is it? Is it up to the spreadable snuff? As always, you guys know I’m going to find out!
In …

My office has been having this Green Tea challenge for awhile now. They are drinking something around three glasses of tea a day. The only problem is they are drinking a powder mix that contains high fructose corn syrup. I’m trying to be very health conscious and I was …

M&Ms has been an institution as far as candy coated chocolates are concerned. Nowadays there are a variety of flavours to choose from. Be it with almonds, peanuts or those weird crispies which I haven’t seen lately.
I was pleasantly surprised to find out that my all time favourite M&Ms …

These are Burger King branded snack chips that are supposed to be the equivalent of the onion rings they sell at the restaurant. They actually look surprisingly close to what their real onion rings look like, they aren’t just the skinny little light yellow …

Combos Snacks - Cheddar Cheese Pretzel is a snack that consists of a pretzel exterior and and a cheddar cheese interior, hence the name of the product. I find this particular variety to be flavorful as the pretzel exterior definitely has a potent salt flavor and once I bite …

I’ll admit it. I am a big fan of TV dinners (well, if they’re tasty ones). They’re quick, convenient and easy to make, and it sure beats cooking a whole meal when you want something fast. Since I enjoy TV dinners so much, I decided to …

I’ve always liked baking for as long as I can remember. Sometimes I bake from scratch from family recipes, and other days I have to take a short cut, when I am short on time. I like to turn to the Betty Crocker Super Moist Cake Mixes. Not only …

While I like getting my pizzas from Papa Murphy’s here in Beaver Dam, I have to say I’m not a huge fan of their vegetarian pizza.
Maybe it’s the fact I usually prefer to have some meat on pizzas; whether it’s sausage or pepperoni. And, of course, the vegetarian pizza …

When I was a girl this was known as Fry’s Peppermint Cream but it is now owned by Cadbury. This chocolate bar keeps a low profile nowadays but when I was young it was advertised on television as a slim, dark and sophisticated chocolate bar, like the lady …

In …

This is my favorite Michelina frozen dinner and I eat them more than I probably should, but they are so quick and easy to prepare that it makes for a very convenient lunch when I’m trying to deal with my toddler and get her to eat her food.
The Michelina’s …

When the weather turns hot, the drinks industry rubs its hands with glee. Hot weather means cold drinks and ice. Something to quench the thirst on a summer’s day. Maybe something to soothe a dry throat in the middle of a sports competition —“ half-time in a soccer match, …

Kroger Value Saltines are fine for snacking, for soups, for chili and more. Compared to the national brands, these saltines are just as crispy, crunchy and flavorful. They hold up about as well in soups and chili and are just about as addicting when snacking on them. Also, like …

Throughout and entire day, my friend ended up spending lots of money on “Lowes Peanut Brittle” candies because she said that she had become addicted to its taste. Since I loved peanut brittle, I decided to try one of “Lowe’s Peanut Brittle” for myself, and actually found myself liking …

As a native Southerner, I enjoy a variety of food including soul food, Gullah food and Jamaican food. I find it hard to resist any dish that’s salty and spicy to my palette. However, because of my family’s history with diabetes I’ve had to eliminate salt from my …

Recently, 7-11 announced a new Slurpee flavor, and being the addict that I am, I had to check it out. The concept is that the icy treat itself is purple but the flavor is that of vanilla — or more specifically vanilla creme. My review of the …

I didn’t care too much for these wafer snacks because I didn’t find them to be particularly rich in chocolate flavor. There is a somewhat dull chocolate taste to these wafers, but it’s kind of subdued and weak and it doesn’t really do much for me when I have …
