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 …

I love Hamburger Helper, at least most kinds of it. But, I don’t like paying full price for it so I end up looking for cheaper boxed dinners instead.
This search recently led me to Skillet Masters dinners and I was able to give them a try last night.
Overall, I …

I hate to admit this (especially during these “go green” times) that I like to drink bottled water. In fact, you can find me drinking anything from Smart water to Aquafina to grocery store brand water.
Over the summer I worked outside and was constantly drinking water. The water I …

Here in our country, Philippines, it is a tradition to have a cake during birthday celebrations. Cake is the symbol if someone celebrating his special day with blowing of candles to start the ceremony. Goldilocks have been known for this kind as it is the cheapest cake with high …

I applied for an introductory sample of this Taylors Lazy Sunday Ground Coffee as I love trying new brands and, as I say in all my coffee reviews, I am a coffee fiend and cannot get enough of the stuff. They generously sent me enough for an eight-cup …

I was disappointed with the Little Debbie Dessert Cakes - Spice variety because the spice cake did not have a whole lot of flavor for me to enjoy, really. I have had deliciously rich and majorly moist spice cake in the past, and these dessert cakes simply do not …

Years ago I used to eat Pocky regularly. For anyone who doesn’t know, Pocky comes from Japan and its kind of like a candy coated breadstick. It’s light and fun to eat and comes in interesting flavors like strawberry and lychee. It’s easy to munch on while you’re on …

Stouffer’s is known for providing quality meals that are filling, nutrious, and easy to make. For those, like me, who are not cooking experts, this is the best thing that could happen. The star in Stouffer’s line up is their french bread pizza.
You’d think that pizza is …

I recently found one of my favorite beverages on sale at Dollar General. The soft drink is Pepsi Max and as the name implies was made the Pepsi company. The thing about this beverage is that is low calorie and advertises on the label that it has …

Lately, Marie Callender’s has put out a lot of new varieties in its frozen food line, but in regular meals and in their Fresh Flavor Steamers. I’ve been checking out a few, most recently buying one of their Chicken Fajita Bowls to evaluate.
This new variety contains sliced chicken …

I really can’t do without the coffee in the morning, it is actually the first thing I do when I open my eyes to go and put the moka on the stove to boil. I like to have a lot of coffee at home so that it never happened …

I have probably bought more packets of Polos than any other mints because I like the way they are minty enough to freshen my breath and at the same time because they are sweet, they taste good. I also like the way the Polo mint has an iconic …

I love Yoder’s Bakery! It is located a few miles outside of Bowling Green, MO, in the heart of Amish county! You can find a map of the Amish community on the Bowling Green, MO Chamber of Commerce website.
Yoder’s bakery is owned and operated by Jerry Yoder. He’s very …

I am lover of instant coffee. To be more precise, I like it strong, sweet - and preferably cool. And yet, I am not a great fan of iced coffee… with the exception of one single brand: Jacobs Ice Coffee.
I have noticed there are two “ice coffee” produced by Jacobs. …

Juice in big gallon containers from Costco. That’s what this is. Surely you who go to Costco now know that anything “Kirkland Signature” means COSTCO and ginormous amounts of whatever it is, and in this case it is juice. I bought this for our housewarming party. …

Kiss Multi Grain Enriched Bread is surprisingly a very light bread considering it is supposed to be multi-grained. I got to admit I do like it but I have to eat an extra slice to in my sandwiches to feel filled up. The bread has “cracked” oats on the …

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 …

Macaroni Grill now has a line of “Restaurant Favorites” boxed dinners. I decided to try the Creamy Basil Chicken Parmesan Pasta version. I can always find these at Walmart for $3.50, but I saw them at the local grocer’s for $7, so I’m not sure why there’s such a …

I am looking for more innovative ways to enjoy my salad, so when I tasted a version of Mexican Taco Salad in a restaurant, I was really determined to replicate the taste in my own home. While I was in the supermarket searching for stuff for my own Mexican …

I recently purchased a 12 pack of root beer from our local Save-a-Lot store. It was their store brand Tubz Root Beer.
I purchased this brand because it had a cheap price. But, I wasn’t really expecting a whole lot from it. However, after trying it, I have to say …

Chobani is my favorite brand of greek yogurt, one that I don’t hesitate to place in my cart whenever I’m in the dairy section of the grocery store. They have so many flavors to choose from that it’s kind of hard to decided which one to take home with …

My daughter just woke up from her nap and, since she hasn’t eaten anything since breakfast (it’s now 2 in the afternoon), I went looking for something for her to eat.
She wasn’t really eating her lunch (she ate part of it but the cat kept distracting her), I decided …

Friendly Farms Greek Blueberry Low Fat Yogurt can be purchased from ALDI Food Market stores for seventy-nine cents per six ounce container. Now ALDI is known for low prices and it’s certainly possible to purchase cheaper yogurt in the larger grocery stores like Walmart and Target, but this is …

I have had the pleasure of tasting a delicacy in the city of Tuguegarao, Cagayan Valley in the Philippines. This food is called Pansit Batil Patong. Believe me; I have had some difficulty remembering the name too. I was not so crazy about it when my friend told me …

Ore-Ida Extra Crispy Seasoned Crinkles are delicious frozen french fries that I just never grow tired of. They are so crispy and tasty that they are superior to most of the fries sold in restaurants and fast foods, in my opinion. And the seasoning on these fries! Wow! Who …

This brand of ice cream is one of those I like. Although I buy this regularly when I go shopping, this is not my best choice of ice cream. It is cheaper though compared to my favorite one so I still buy it and stock it in our fridge. …

Hostess Ding Dongs are a whole lot like Hostess Cupcakes. They have a somewhat harder chocolate frosting exterior, a soft chocolate cake interior and have white creme in the middle. There is more creme in Ding Dongs than the cupcakes though, and the Ding Dong itself is a little …

Of all the burgers I’ve had at Checkers, my favorite would definitely have to be the Big Buford. There’s something about the double-stacked burger that makes my mouth water, and I think it definitely has something to do with that famous Checkers’ seasoning.
The Big Buford is a double burger …

Despite its rather festive and unusualy name, Totino’s Cripy Crust Party Pizza is actually a very simple product. It is an affordable and tasty frozen pizza product. Although some frozen pizzas have gotten elaborate and as expensive as ordering pizza from a pizzeria, Totino’s Pizzas are still …

From the makers of Gatorade, Propel is a fitness water or “vitamin enhanced water beverage” as it says on the label. It has been around for a while and there are many different flavors now. It is basically my primary beverage. There are many vitamins with Propel and it …

These make a great quick meal! It’s very convenient to be able to come home and just open a can and heat it up. Sometimes we cut up some sausage or a cooked hotdog and add it to the beans.
We usually eat this over rice, or with a piece …

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 …

Kretschmer Wheat Germ is a wonderful food item which is said to be a very good source of six essential vitamins and minerals. Kretschmer Wheat Germ comes toasted and it is a bit pricey but definitely worth the money.
Kretschmer Wheat Germ is a good source of folic acid and …

The Little Debbie Glazed Cake Donut is nothing special really. In fact, the word “nothing” has far more relevance to this donut than the word “special”, that is for sure. The donut has a relatively light sugar glaze around it. The donut itself though did not taste as fresh …

I have always been fond of anything dairy —“ from milk to cheese to ice cream. Every dairy food that I indulge on is euphoria for me. It gives me that blissful experience of munching on something that’s creamy, luscious and flavorful. However, this delightful pleasure had to …

Geeta’s premium mango chutney is authentic Indian chutney made from fresh mangoes and is sweet-smelling which I’ve bought from Tesco supermarket. I actually bought it this month to try it as a dip for the papadum that I’ve made at home. One thing I could personally say …

I don’t like hot dogs usually because I know they are always made from the worst part of the leftovers of the meat. My Dad was working in the place where they used to produce hot dog so after some stories I’ve heard I didn’t wanna eat hot dogs …

My daughter and I just ate a can of Condensed Vegetarian Vegetable Soup. The brand is Venise Maid Foods. My daughter seemed to like it well enough but I personally feel that it couldnt get any worse it was so awful! It was the worst tasting vegetarian vegetable soup …

I wanted something a bit different for dinner last night but didn’t want to spend a fortune. So, I once again headed to one of the local grocery stores and, avoiding the pizza section, looked in the freezer section.
I ended up bringing home a sliced turkey dinner from the …

My wife and I were hungry for tacos this past weekend and decided to pick up a taco dinner kit when we were at the store.
We had quite a few brands to choose from so we ended up just picking the cheapest one. That happened to be a taco …

This is a fairly decent variety pack that offers the following fruit packs: cherry, strawberry and mixed berry. I wish that these packs were one-hundred percent naturally flavored, but unfortunately there is some artificial flavoring as well. That means that the fruit that comes out of these packs is …

I went to the store today looking for something sweet and what caught my eye was ice cream fridge, and discounts, of course. I saw this big 1kg ice cream by Algida was on an almost 50% discount so I bought it. There were four different flavors in the container …

Kroger Kid-O’s Rich Mint Creme retail for two dollars and twenty-nine cents and more cookies come in a package than in the Oreo Cool Mint Creme package, which these cookies are modeled after. Almost twenty ounces, actually. I was very impressed with the Kroger store brand product and I …

I really like eating pasta, and my favorite is this barilla farfalle. the Barilla farfallle is in the shape of bow ties, which makes it really good for when you are just going to eat pasta out right without mixing in vegetables or meatballs. The farfalle always stay …

I am a fan of Peanut Butter and although it is usually the brand named one that I buy as I do think it is the best one, I like to try cheaper brands as I may end up really liking it and therefore it will end up saving …

I have never had Relleno before, so I had no idea whether I would enjoy it or not when I purchased it. However, it sounded good, and since I am usually pretty satisfied with the frozen meals that this company makes, I figured I would give it a try. …

Hostess is a popular brand name that has been around since long before I was born. I grew up with their fun snacks, including Hostess Twinkies, which has always been a favorite.
Hostess Twinkies are golden sponge cakes with creamy fillings They come in two-packs or a box …

One of the reasons I haven’t gone to Carl’s Jr. all the much in recent years is because of their prices. Compared to other fast food places in the vicinity, it cost more there to get comparable meals. Nowadays, though, this west coast fast food restaurant finally …

I always drink green tea before I sleep. I love drinking it because of the health benefits it will give me. Green tea has been proven to be a powerful antioxidant and the things that it can do to your body is amazing. I always try for other brands to …
