Kraft Tarter Sauce
When it comes to condiments, nothing is better than tartar sauce. I started eating it in elementary on the “fish” days for lunch, and I have continued to eat tartar sauce throughout the years. I’m not really sure how long Kraft has been making tartar sauce, but I just …
Breyers Waffle Cone Overload!

Warburtons Milk Roll White Bread

Oishi Sponge
Another super junkfood made by Oishi is the choco soaked snack Sponge. The “ring like ” choco crunch that every junkfood lover
will surely crave for.

Kroger Crunchy Granola Bars - Peanut Butter

Pepsi One
Pepsi One is the perfect choice for those of us who like Pepsi and watch our calories intake. I have tried Diet Pepsi and I did not like it. There is a definite taste difference from regular Pepsi that I didn’t appreciate. Diet Pepsi is just not the same, …
Sainsbury’s Chopped Tomatoes
This is another of those food cupboard staples that I try always to have at least a few units of in stock. Sainsbury’s, rather irritatingly to me, seem to have decided that cartons are a better way to sell these tomatoes than the traditional tins. I can understand that …
Great Value Potato Chips
I don’t know why potato chips are so ridiculously expensive these days, but they are. If it wasn’t for the Great Value brand, I probably wouldn’t buy any.

Weet-bix (New Zealand cereal bar)
A lot of cereals out there are becoming more and more unhealthy. Some would claim to be low fat although they’re packed with so much sugar! While others are simply high in carbohydrates and GI! Weet-bix, however, is one cereal that I found to be healthy, tasty and satisfying.
They …

McCormick Country Gravy Mix
One of my favorite breakfast foods is biscuits and gravy. However, making it at home it’s sometimes hard to find a gravy that’s comparable to what you get in a restaurant. Problem solved.
McCormick Sausage Flavor Country Gravy Mix is great. It’s thick and creamy with a great peppery flavor. …
Charles Peanut Gems
Another guilty pleasure of mine is buying “Charles Peanut Gems” whenever I can find them. These are chocolate covered peanuts that have a candy coating. In a sense they remind me of a cheaper, more Caribbean brand of M&Ms since it have blue, yellow, green brown and red chocolate …
Sabah Tea
I never know the differences between different types of tea, so when I first saw this product, Sabah Tea, I seriously wondered, how different could it be from green tea? Aren’t they all tea?

Villiger Cigars

Vodka Cruiser - Electric Pink

Cows-a chocolate filled butter toffee candy

Cooper’s Lite Garlic Texas Toast
There’s not much difference in the number of calories in “Cooper’s Lite Garlic Texas Toast” and “Cooper’s Garlic Texas Toast”. The difference is thirty calories, actually. There’s also fifty percent less fat, but the fat content isn’t as significant as the calorie content, and the number of calories difference …
Annie Chun’s Miso Soup
Annie Chun’s Miso Soup is something that is easy for me to fix and have for lunch, although admittedly, the soup does not look all that fabulous. Still, what really matters is how the soup tastes and not so much how it looks. While the soup looks rather bland, …
DarkSide Skittles
I decided to give another selection of the skittles brand a try. This typical selection was called the Darkside skittles. Now my first thought was that these were supposed to be some special seasonal flavors that you would find around Halloween time. You know hence the ‘dark side’ name. But …
Hostess The Flash Cakes
There’s really nothing all that notable about Hostess The Flash Cakes. Although the cupcakes may look attractive, they’re basically nothing more than Hostess Cupcakes with food coloring added as well as sprinkles. For the most part, Hostess The Flash Cakes and Hostess Cupcakes taste exactly like, with the only …
Reggae Jammin Fish Sticks

With 5 varieties to choose from, Builders Breakfast, in my own frank opinion …
Fleischmann Simply Homemade Baking Mix Italian Herb Flavor

Hostess Powdered Donettes

Betty Crocker Scallped Potatoes Mix

Food Pride Hamburger Buns
I had to pick up some hamburger buns last night (we were having hamburgers) and ended up stopping off at our local Food Pride store. I didn’t want to spend too much money on something like that and ended up getting the store brand for just 89 cents.
