Home Style Select Ripple Potato Chips
These chips from the Dollar Tree are really no deal. Although they only cost a dollar, the bag size is just six ounces. I can get twelve ounce bags from Walmart for under two dollars when I purchase the Great Value brand and for even less at ALDI if …

Kellogg’s Frosted Strawberry Mini Wheats
I have never tried Mini Wheats before today, nor did I ever think I would love them. Well they were lying on the counter, I was hungry so I went out and just tried them, they were the strawberry kind. The pink box on the counter stuck out to …
Green giant sweet corn
Green giant sweet corn is the original sweet corn which is in the market now a day. It is the real American sweet corn which is cleaned and processes and frozen. I bought a packet of this (the green giant sweet corn also come in the tin) …
Prego Frozen Lasagna
My wife and I were looking for something easy to make for dinner last night and, since we were in the freezer section, eventually decided on Prego Frozen Beef Lasagna.
It was the first time we tried this variety and, after doing so, I was left with a mixed …
Tim Tams White biscuits
I’ve always enjoyed eating Arnott’s Tim Tam biscuits since I was a little kid, and after not having them for a few years, I decided to buy a packet while I was at the grocery store recently. To my surprise, I noticed that they’d added many new …
Nathan’s Beef Franks
I know that Nathan’s is a well known brand, but it is not the brand for me. Nathan’s Beef Franks, to me, are much to greasy to be edible. Seeing and tasting all that grease just makes my appetite vacate my stomach. Greasy foods used to not bother me …
Lemon Square Brand Cheese Cakes
I like to eat Cheese Cakes, but when I am on a tight budget and could not afford the real cheesecakes with toppings, I usually just drop by the supermarket and get the cheapest buy I could get.
While walking around the snacks section I was able to find the …
Nestle Fruit Selection Yogurt in Strawberry
When it comes to dieting one of my favorite things to keep around the house is yogurt. I can eat it for a snack, for breakfast and for desert without feeling too guilty about the carbs and calories that it has. One of my favorite brands is …
Marco’s Pizza - Pepperoni Magnifico
Marco’s Pizza - Pepperoni Magnifico is indeed magnificent! After trying this special variation of pepperoni pizza, I do not believe that I will ever order just a regular pepperoni pizza for as long as Marco’s Pizza offers this delicious creation. What is so different about this kind of pepperoni …
McDonald’s McChicken Sandwich
One of my favorite things from McDonalds is the McChicken sandwich. It comes on a regular bun with the McChicken in the middle, and it has shredded lettuce and mayo on it. The chicken is fried and not grilled. There is no tomato on the sandwich, …
Twix Topix Creamy Caramel (waffle)
Most people I ever discussed these “topix” with, liked —“ or, in some cases, disliked - the original Twix because of its gooey caramel and crumbling biscuit filling. It was —“ still is - achingly sweet and it felt like it would take a week to brush it off the …
Volvic Natural Mineral Water
The Volvic Natural Mineral Water can be seen in almost all vending machines here in Japan. They are also available in the convenient stores and supermarkets. You can buy a liter for a hundred yen (100Y). The mineral water tastes very light and smooth to the throat unlike other …
Original Peppermint Bark Candy from Hallmark Confections
Nothing says “the holidays” like family and friends gathered together, snacking on sweets. My mother created plates of fudge, Frango mints, caramel cookies, sprits, Russian teacakes and more in the past. Then she was introduced to Hallmark Confections and its Original Peppermint Bark. So, along with making her delicious …
Walker’s Steak and Onion Crisp
Visiting the UK brought me many new experiences, including new foods and beverages. I was surprised at just how differently our cultures eat! One thing seems to be universal though, chips. I am referring to what we call potato chips—“ they call them “crisps”
My partner brought …
Bareman’s Orange Juice
I have always been a big fan of orange juice and just lately I can’t seem to get enough of it. I do think there are differences in brands and types and can sometimes be quite picky about which ones I choose. Occasionally I even mix a little …
Tomato Basil Chicken Breast
The tomato basil chicken breast is one of the best entrees you could ever eat. The origins of this dish derive from Italy but it has become quite the universal dish. This is because it is amazingly popular and commonly present on the menu at a variety of …
Nescafe Decaf
Nescafe currently had a campaign to encourage people to drink coffee at night even before you head to bed for a good night slumber. The challenge though is to erase the preconceived notion that coffee, being rich in caffeine will keep you awake. Thus they manufactured a different mix, this …
Folger’s Classic Roast Instant Coffee
I am not a serious drinker of coffee. But over the years, I have developed quite the nose for both good (and bad) coffee. At work, the coffee is pretty good. But I have found that I prefer bringing my own instant coffee. I recently …
Keebler Chips Deluxe Cookies (Mini Rainbow)
I love chocolate and it’s especially hard for me to resist buying things like chocolate muffins and cookies when I go on a diet. For example, the last few times I went to the supermarket and went over the snacks section, I spotted the Keebler Chips Deluxe Mini Rainbow …
Bob Evans Breakfast Bakes Sausage, Egg Cheese and Hash Browns
In a previous review, I spoke highly of one variety of the Bob Evans Breakfast Bakes, namely the bacon, egg, cheese and hash browns one. I came to realize that while I had shared my feelings on that particular Breakfast Bake from Bob Evans frozen breakfast product line, I …
La Choy Stir Fry Teriyaki Sauce and Marinade
For me, cooking is a pleasure. I enjoy making different recipes for dishes at home. I especially enjoy making copy cat versions of recipes I eat at restaurants. This is how, I came across La Choy Stir Fry Teriyaki Sauce and Marinade in my neighborhood Kroger. I was initially …
Hormel Natural Choice Carved Chicken Breast
To be honest, I’m always cautious when it comes to trying new meats. I’m very loyal to products I grew up with, and with all the scares in the news about this and that, I just like to stay with what I know and trust. However, when …
Teriyaki Beef Jerky from Albertsons
The real teriyaki flavor is there with this beef jerky. But the content of the packet was less and contrary to size of the packet the number of pieces was less. I use beef jerky as a usual snack and this teriyaki beef jerky is finished in a day. …
Strauss Organic milk
I’ve been into organic foods for a while now, but have noticed a distinct difference between Strauss Organic milk and other major brands of organic milk that can be purchased in any grocery store. First of all the presentation is beautiful and seems very old-world as it comes in …
Bavaria Non-Alcoholic Drink
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 …
Familia Natural Swiss Crunch
We all know the importance of cereals in our life but most of the time just because of the stereotyped taste and preparation it becomes quite boring and monotonous to eat them. Also the products that are available in the market are not natural and organic and the consequences …
Mix vegetable pickle
MN mixed vegetable pickle is another kind of pickle from the very well know brand which is MN again. Actually many kind of fresh vegetables are used to make the MN brand mixed vegetable pickle. The vegetables such as, beans, carrot, beetroot, garlic and many more such …
Cadbury Old Gold Dark Chocolate
Cadbury Old Gold Dark Chocolate according to one promotion that I read in the internet is smooth, rich, dark chocolate that’s worth its weight in gold. Just the mere reading of that line made my mouth watery. So the next time I shop I made it a point …
Food Club Ice Cream Sandwiches
I was in the mood for a frozen treat for dessert the other day and needed something everyone in my family would eat without spending too much money (I don’t get paid until next week and our bank account is getting a bit low).
After looking around the freezer section …
Greenwich Pizza (Meaty Spaghetti)
The best tasting spaghetti for me is the Meaty Spaghetti of Greenwich Pizza. Spaghetti is the easiest pasta to prepare and the most popular among children too. I myself is crazy about Spaghetti so I know the procedure of cooking the best spaghetti for myself and my family. …
Alaska Condensed Milk
Alaska Condensed Milk is another great product of Alaska Milk Corporation. I think their Condensed Milk has not been matched by any other brand. This brand has been the number one brand in the market for many years because as I myself have proven it really makes a big …
McDonald Quirino Taft
The McDonald at Quirino Avenue corner Taft (City of Manila) is the place where I and my office-mates mostly buy our food because there are no other fast-foods located near our office other than this one. When I am craving for pancake in the morning, I’d go straight to …
Tasty Bite Bengal Chickpeas - 285g pack
I bought these chickpeas at Safeway Supermarkets in Melbourne, Australia for AU$3.50 in the international foods aisle, in the section where packaged entrée or side-dish meals are displayed. The product is imported from India and commonly available in supermarkets in major Western countries like the United States.
I found the …
Sinoloa Tortillas
Sinaloa tortillas are the best! Now, there has always been a monopoly on the tortilla market by a company known as Mission Tortillas. Simply put, they are not the best tortillas in the universe as you would think by the way every store in the universe seems …
Life Savers Pep-O-Mint Mints
I grew up on Life Savers, and I had two favorites — butterscotch and peppermint. I loved both flavors tremendously. As years passed, the Life Savers company began to expand their offerings, and now they have a package of just my favorite peppermints which they call Life …
7 Days Bake Rolls Onion
It says on the package: “Delicious bread crisps seasoned with onion”. And I have to agree with that statement. “Bake Rolls” is indeed delicious.
In my quest to limit my intake of chips, I switched to “Bake Rolls”. One package has approximately 90 grams of baked bread crisps. The onion …
IHOP Pancakes
I think IHOP Pancakes are pretty good, these things taste pretty good and they are pretty cheap. I went to IHOP for national pancake day and had some while I was there. So I am going to tell you about them. First of all they smell really good and …
Kroger Mexican-Style Refried Beans
One of the things that I noticed is that these beans have lard in them, which does alter the taste a little bit from beans made with vegetable oil (the kind I usually get). These seemed a little more authentic in the taste, like something you might get …
Glaceu’s Vitamin Water
Lately I have gotten pretty addicted to Glaceau’s vitamin water. There are a variety of different flavors of water that all have different mixes of vitamins in them. The waters themselves taste like Kool-Aid; they’re sweet and have a light flavor to them without being overpowering.
I really feel like …
Cream Cheese Stuffed French Toast
French toast is one of my favorite breakfast/brunch foods to whip up for my family on weekend mornings. It’s moist, sweet, creamy and extremely satisfying. One recipe, that I received from a family member, is cream cheese stuffed French toast. It has all the qualities of original French toast …
Hersheys Kisses - Caramel Centers
I saw a bag of Hershey Kisses on the shelf at Fry’s Food Store the other day. I was particularly drawn to it since I was not aware kisses came with caramel centers. Being that caramel is one of my favorites I was curious how the caramel would be …
Sun Tea black currant flavored tea
I’m a fan of black currant flavored teas, and also a bargain hunter. Last month the two met up in an unfortunate mistake. I was ordering my usual brand of black currant tea (Twinings) from an online retailer and I saw that there was another brand of black currant …
Halo Top Mint Chip ice-cream
Hey! Do you love ice-cream? And do you know how many calories, fat and sugar it can add up? It’s a lot. Ice-cream is delicious, but it’s not the best food to have very often. And it’s okay to treat yourself and indulge your cravings once in a while, but …
The Royal Dansk Danish Butter Cookies
Last Wednesday, my husband’s boss had gifted us a 3.3 lb tin of the Royal Dansk Danish Butter Cookies. Even while I think of it and pen down this review, my mouth actually waters. Such is the aroma and taste of the butter cookies. True to its origin !!!
The …
Kroger Potato Chips - Barbecue
If you are looking for a tasty barbecue flavored potato chip, then you most definitely will not want to purchase the Kroger brand barbecue potato chips! These potato chips are certainly crispy, but they are definitely not flavorful. There is but a hint of barbecue flavor and when I …
Amy’s Enchiladas
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 …
Williams Sharp Cheddar Cheese Dip
Cheese is without a doubt in my top five favorites when it comes to food and snacks. I would go so far as to say it’s even in my top two. I’m not really sure what would beat it out but I love cheese. I enjoy …
