Lately I’ve been shopping at Dollar Tree Stores here in Grants Pass Oregon. You see, like a lot of Americans I’ve lost my job so I’m trying to stretch what money I have by buying certain products as cheaply as I can.
While in my local Dollar Tree Store …

I recently picked up a box of the Tazo Organic Chai Spiced Black Tea and I must say it is so tasty. I love that this tea is made from organic ingredients such as black teas, cinnamon, black pepper, ginger root, cardamom, cloves and star anise. These ingredients combined …

I gave the brand of Toll House: Chocolate Chip cookies, a try when my mother brought a package home one evening. There are in a to-go carry able container, there was a twenty pre-made cookies. Previously I’ve never had already made cookies from Nestle toll house before. I’ve used …

I’m not a huge fan of mayonnaise, but I do think a good sandwich lacks something if it’s made dry or with mustard only, so it’s important to me to have a GOOD mayonnaise to use in the background. A lot of mayonnaise is just offensive to me, …

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. …

I thought I was just getting a common or garden coffee flavoured mousse when I bought this Set of 2 Mocha Desserts from Sainsbury’s, but these are far more gourmet than that. When I took one out and peeled off the cellophane top one of the little tubs …

As a hypoglycemic, I am always looking for good snacking alternatives to chocolate bars and chips. I have tried a few of the low carb protein bars on the market and this is one of my favourites. Generally, low carb bars are expensive and often they don’t …

Now it is a big headache for the housewife’s to choose the good or the best products for her house. Especially while choosing the products for my kitchen. It is also my responsibility to buy the good products for my house, and particularly for kitchen. But …

I LOVE this stuff. This does have the taste of something like lemon bars or some yummy desert with lemons. There is no aftertaste to it, in my opinion. I love the texture of it; it is smooth and creamy. It has 100 calories and 5 grams of protein, …

We bought two of these plants for about four dollars a piece at Lowes, they were potted in one gallon containers and were about a foot tall. Since then, it has been about five weeks, and they have expanded in size quite a bit. They now stand about a …

Although I generally don’t find myself choosing 7up as a first or even second option when I’m buying soda, there is still that rare moment over a period of time when I’ll crave one. The reason why I don’t necessarily crave 7up a lot is because first of all, …

Last night, my friend and I decided to venture into Hooters. Being from Texas, the local Hooters restaurants are owned under a different company, the Texas Wings Association, and the food quality isn’t so bad. Down south, the food can at least taste better than those bar nachos you …

Fruity Pebbles. They’re one of those things you never really think to say “Hey, there should definitely be a review on this”. However, that thought process only lasts up until your first bowl. There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that Fruity Pebbles are the …

I think I was six or seven years old when I first tasted a Hershey’s cookies n cream candy bar. My mom broke off one of squares and I remember being amazed that chocolate could be another color besides just brown. I am twenty years old now and I …

Every Saturday night for years and years, my family enjoyed spaghetti. As a rule, we made a simple version with a basic tomato sauce to which we added spaghetti sauce seasoning, or maybe some other spices of choice. Our preferred product was actually Del Monte Tomato Sauce. …

I recently just bought a pound cake at the grocery store for a dollar. It was kind of small but still worth it just for a dollar. That’s cheap compared to a lot of foods now a days. I really liked this cake. I thought I wouldn’t because it …

Crackers Jacks have been around for ages. I grew up enjoying this snack. In recent years, I haven’t purchased it very often, mainly because it’s harder to find at the grocery store. When I have, it’s been the traditional, single serve box that is so familiar to most. …

The Lawler’s cheesecake miniature variety box is a brand of cheesecake that I’m not familiar with. Purchasing the Lawler’s cheesecake miniatures variety was a complete impulse buy, but thing that truly caught my eyes were the raspberry and turtle cheesecakes–I never tasted them before. The best thing about the …

Diana is a local company that sells a variety of confections, usually in the hard candles selection. They also have a product called Butternut which was one of my absolute favourite candy bars as a kid.
It has been years since I had a Butternut, but recently they began to …

I grew up in Wisconsin. Here, it is state law to serve butter in restaurants unless someone personally requests margarine. So, I’ve always been a bit of a skeptic when it comes to the quality of the latter.
However, my wife, who is from the East Coast, isn’t a big …

These apricot bites are really tasty to have either as a snack in say the afternoon or as a way to add some sweet and tangy taste to a salad. They are indeed both sweet and tangy, a scrumptious combination that offers a richness that can never be ignored …

I love trying different foods, drinks and games because I am a gamer and at the same time I love eating. While I’m traveling I forgot to buy some mineral water so I became thirsty, it is a long travel and after three hours of sitting inside the bus …

These are some really cool sea salt flakes. They aren’t crystals in the normal sense. They look like hollow pyramids, and they are really strong with the smokey flavor. It only takes a little bit, and adds a wonderful flavor to your food. It’s great …

This is like the most important energy drink to me for so many years. I really don’t like this before but when it started working, I felt very alive and active. Ok so i used to work in a call center before and we needed to work and talk …

I’m a fan of Ritz crackers, whether it be served with my favorite topping, sliced cheeses or with soup I simply love the taste of these crackers. They bring a new spin to the table unlike regular saltine crackers. This is why I decided to try out Ritz Crackerful: …

Of all the places I could have found this item, guess where I found it; the dollar store. I figured if it wasn’t great I only wasted a dollar so no harm no foul. I’m always still so surprised when I see great brand name items that obviously do …

Wow, talk about a bad food that tastes so darn good that you really can’t eat just one as the old slogan boasted so long ago.
Normally I turn up my nose at any Frito Lay product, I don’t like the flavor or quailty normally. However, frito lay sour cream …

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 …

If you ever run across this brand of pancake mix in your local discount grocery, don’t be afraid to buy it. It’s great!! The pancakes come out light and fluffy and there are just so many ways you can change them up to keep from having the …

I like carrots in my salad because I feel that they add flavor to my salad as well as contribute some essential nutrients and vitamins to my body. When I came across this pre-cut salad mix with double the carrots, I naturally thought that I would love having one …

I decided to buy a bottle of non-alcoholic wine for my grandfather to enjoy before he left from his vacation to go back to his home. The first thing that drew me towards buying this wine was the amount of sugar it contained compared to other flavours of this …

Our youngest daughter absolutely loves cooked pasta. So, rather than just making her elbow macaroni or some other boring item like that, I decided to buy something different for her the other day; penne pasta. And, since the Reganno brand was the cheapest one available, that is the one …

I was a bit surprised by Werther’s Original Caramel Chocolate Milk, but I think that was probably my own fault. I was in a hurry when I saw a package of these on sale at the grocery store and just gave it a cursory look before tossing it …

The Berryhill Wild Blueberry Fruit Syrup comes in a thirteen ounce bottle for two dollars and forty-nine cents at ALDI Food Market stores. After trying the Smucker’s Blueberry Syrup and being real disappointed, I was kind of hesitant to give this blueberry syrup a try. I didn’t want to …

During the hot summer days here in the Philippines, I need to have an alternative refreshment drink other that soda so I decided to buy Tang orange juice. Tang has a lot of flavors like grape, mango and a lot more. I just chose Orange flavor because I really …

I buy Aquamar Imitation Crab Meat for my crab salad. A 1.5 lbs plastic bag costs $2.82. As both the name and the price suggest, it is not real crab meat, it is made out of Alaskan Pollock. The taste is close enough to the real thing, maybe a …

I used to drink tea, but i never thought that there’s more tastier tea drink in the world and that is the Nestea Ice Tea drink. I love the taste and the aroma it fells after drinking it. It makes me calm and make me awake too, because i …

I love spoon size Frosted Shredded Wheat, but I don’t love the fact that they use gelatin in their cereal. It seems very unnecessary to me. For that reason alone I stopped eating it all together. It wasn’t until my friend introduced me to Post brand Lightly Frosted Shredded …

The chili cheese fries from Cookout are either something you absolutely love or something you absolutely hate. I feel confident in saying that because recently I tried them for the first time with my best friend and while she loved them, I hated them. We grabbed the fries along …

Del Monte is my favorite brand to use whether it’s for making spaghetti, being used for hotdogs, french fries, meatballs, eggs, or spam. It has a sweet blend taste with doesn’t make it all sour and bitter like fresh tomatoes do, and it does make perfect sauce for a …

Flipz Milk Chocolate Pretzels is different from Hershey’s Milk Chocolate Pretzels in one single regard - the Flipz pretzels are coated with Nestle’s chocolate and the Hershey’s Milk Chocolate. How does that impact the flavor of the pretzels? Well, in my opinion, there is no noticeable difference. Maybe I …

Mom’s Best Naturals Honey Nut Toasty O’s is a cereal that looks and tastes very much like General Mills Honey Nut Cheerios. I personally think that the cereal has a better, more satisfying, flavor to it than the Honey Nut Cheerios cereal. The honey and almond flavors seem more …

I spent my weekend driving around Calgary stocking up on ingredients for ethnic dishes that I was planning to cook over the next weeks. One of the joys of Calgary is the many ethnic markets in the city, and the best Middle Eastern market, in my opinion and according …

I’ll admit, I used to be a Ragu person. I thought there could be no better pasta sauce in a jar than Ragu (although I did on occasion buy Classico, but it was a tad more expensive).
Primo’s Hot and Spicy Pasta Sauce, though, is an excellent treat. …
