Butterfinger Buzz Bar
On the Butterfinger Buzz Bar, it proclaims “crispety, crunchety, peanut-buttery bar with caffeine!” Aah, the C word caught my eye. So I bought it. It is a 2 piece Butterfinger Buzz bar, very large, probably more calories than the regular bar, that I don’t know.
I bit into …
Hostess Fruit Pies - Cherry
Although I find these Hostess Fruit Pies - Cherry variety to be superior to the apple variety, I still feel that this variety is lacking in a delicious and memorable flavor that would keep me coming back. The crust is a big problem really - it is dry and …
Kroger Kid-O’s Rich Mint Creme Cookies
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 …
SeaPak Coconut Shrimp
Product Description: A box of frozen breaded shrimp covered in a coconut coating. Comes with a dipping sauce and is available for about $11 at Walmart.
What I liked about this product: At first, I wasn’t overly thrilled about the $11 price tag on the box since I just picked …
Rice A Roni
No matter how hard I try to make my own version of Rice a Roni, it never works! My rice always turns out undercook and never has the flavor that I aime for.
Rice A Roni is an easy alternitive to homemade rich. It has many great flavors …
Pringles Potato chips
Although pringles potato chips have been around for a long time. I find that they now have many different brands however they also are very salty. They do now come salt free but to me taste like one is chewing on cardboard. Even though they stay …
Gipsy Gold —“ soft aperitif
I don’t usually like bitter products but here in Italy everyone drinks soft aperitifs so I decided to try the out too, when they were on discount, of course. So I bought Gipsy Gold, 10 bottles of this soft aperitif for 1.19Euro only instead of 1,49Euro. I must say …
Nescafe 3in1 strong
I really like coffee and all possible drinks made of coffee. I started drinking coffee rather late, when I was more than 20. It doesn’t seems to be late but today I see children 15 or 16 years old who have the habit of drinking coffee so I consider …
Silk Brand Chocolate Soy MIlk
Silk is known for their line of healthy soy milk drinks. One such drink is supposed to be a “rich, velvety” milk chocolate flavored beverage. My first roommate in college was adamantly vegetarian and gave me daily lectures on my murderous meat-eating ways, trying to force various …
Ice Breakers ice cubes gum- raspberry sorbet
Ice Breakers Ice Cubes gum has been quite popular in my area for some time. I had not tried it until the other day when I was at my local Wal-Mart and I saw that they had a flavor I thought I would love. I am a berry fanatic, …
ChocoLava Chocolate Drink
This product really gets a chuckle out of me. Why? It is because this is being endorsed by our local artist named John Lloyd Cruz with a tag line: “No more kid stuff for me.” That is really funny because this ChocoLava instant 3-in-1 chocolate drink is nothing but …
Almond Breeze Almond Milk by Blue Diamond
I started drinking Almond Breeze by Blue Diamond, it’s milk made from Almonds and tastes different from soy milk and also doesn’t have the added estrogen which I thought would be ideal for my husband.
They currently offer Plain, Vanilla and chocolate. I love them all quite honestly. I rotate …
Haagen-Dazs Green Tea Ice Cream
I had never tried green tea ice cream prior to Haagen-Dazs’ variety. I had always been wary of it, because while I enjoy green tea, I was concerned that it wouldn’t have very much flavor or that its delicate flavor wouldn’t translate very well to a rich frozen dessert.
I …
Pepsi-Cola throwback
Pepsi has now come out with it’s throwback, trying to get sales by going back to using real sugar instead of the now used corn syrup. The product tastes very good but is not as sweet as the regular Pepsi. I have really looked forward to this coming out, …
Arizona Green Tea With Honey
My family and I drink a lot of Arizona Iced Tea, especially since we are trying to cut soda out of our diet as much as possible. While there are still way too many grams of sugar for my liking in this beverage, at least there are the …
Jose Ole Chimichanga Chicken and Cheese
I bought a few of Jose Ole Chimichanga Chicken and Cheese, one evening when my neighborhood Kroger was running a three for two sale on them. I don’t always get prepackaged frozen food all the time, but sometimes the mood hits me and I act upon it.
I am …
Baileys Original Irish Cream
My dear old grandmother used to always buy a bottle of this at Christmas and us kids would be allowed a glass to sip while we were watching Christmas television shows, so this drink really takes me back to that and it always reminds me of Christmas. Nevertheless, …
Kellogg’s Frosted Flakes Cereal
I used to eat this cereal quite often. I liked the sweet flavor and the crunchy qualities that it had. Now though, I hardly eat it and only eat it if it comes in an assortment or variety pack that I order. The reason is it is high on …
New York Style - Cinnamon Raisin Bagel Crisps
New York Style - Cinnamon Raisin Bagel Crisps excel when it comes to the raisin portion of the bagel crisp but fall short in terms of cinnamon seasoning. For each bagel crisp, which is admittedly fairly small, a good number of raisins are crammed in. The raisins are tasty …
Dark Coconut Fruit and Granola Bar from Kashi
Kashi is a brand name that I have known to sell many health products ranging from cereals to nutrition bars to even meals that you microwave. I have not been disappointed by their products yet, and after trying their Dark Chocolate Coconut fruit and grain bar I am still …
Great Value Tomato Juice
Great Value Tomato Juice is a good and inexpensive product. It is not made from concentrate and contains 100% juice, high on Vitamin C. The taste is no different from brand names, nice and rich taste of tomato. The juice comes in a 46 fl. oz. metal can that …
Halk Nutfresh
Last few days I’ve been checking out different cheap snacks. I must admit that they were all rather cheap and that I didn’t pay for any of them more than 50 Euro cents and I was quite satisfied with some of them while I wasn’t satisfied at all with …

Starbucks Gingerbread Latte with New Molasses Drizzle
At Starbucks, holiday season means an array of limited time seasonal drinks that are a wonderful way to get in the holiday spirit. One of my favorites is the gingerbread latte, which typically rolls out shortly after Halloween. Sweet and a bit spicy, the syrup tastes almost exactly like …
Hershey’s Cookies ‘n’ Creme Milk Shake
Because of a recommendation from a clerk at the grocery store, I decided to try out the Hershey’s Cookies ‘n’ Creme Milk Shake product. Hershey’s individual milk shakes are the best ones I’ve found out there right now that you can buy at a store. No, they …
Tesco Orange Juice From Concentrate (Smooth)
Tesco Orange Juice has always been a staple of my life, I don’t remember a time when I didn’t begin a morning by drinking a carton, often timing myself to see how quickly it could be drunk. The juice is not particularly high-quality, I realise, but it’s what orange …
Cadbury’s Bournville Classic Dark Chocolate
I am a big chocolate and sweet treat lover and my boyfriend knows that all too well. So for my birthday one of the presents he got me was a bar of Cadbury’s Bournville Classic Dark Chocolate. He has never bought me this chocolate before but I feel he …
Lean Cuisine Deluxe Frozen Pizza

Great Value Apple Flavored Drink Mix
Walmart’s brand, Great Value, makes many generic alternatives in almost any category. Last week I purchased a powdered drink mix made by (or distributed by) Walmart, made to be similar to name brand “Crystal Light.” It is sugar free, sweetened with aspartame, and has five calories per serving.
I wasn’t …
Bake N’ Shake Barbeque Seasoning
Even though I didn’t like the crispy seasoning by Bake N’ Shake, I wanted to try the barbeque seasoning because I love barbeque and the photograph on the box made it seem like it would be the best chicken. When will I learn? When will I learn?
>From the picture …
Kitchens of India Heat and Eat packs
I find so many supposedly ‘instant’ dishes that can be found in the supermarket are not really instant at all. Some of them you have to fiddle around with cups of milk and spoonfuls of margarine, others take almost an hour in the oven or are just very messy. …
Kroger Fruit Punch
As a family of five on a limited budget, we have a hard time finding something to drink that is affordable. We always try to find soda on sale but our oldest daughter does not like very many types of sodas and the ones she does are hardly …
Tortilla Corn Chips Restaurant Style 150g
I discovered the Tortilla corn chips during my last visit to Dollarama, the famed dollar store near where I live. I thought I’d try some crunchy corn chips at home for a change, while I watched TV.
I’m glad I tried this brand. These corn chips are really …
Wheat Thins Parmesan Basil
This flavor of Wheat Thins is delicious! Out of all the Wheat Thins varieties, I think this one has the strongest flavor of them all. I was really surprised when I took my first bite because usually wheat thins have a mild flavor to them. This flavor of Wheat …
Kroger brand frozen turnip greens
If you are looking to beef up your diet with some good veggies, it’s a good idea to seek out frozen vegetables. They are filled with vitamins and minerals that don’t seem to seep out until after they are cooked too much. In fact, frozen veggies …
Clover Valley All Purpose Flour
While I like many products in the Clover Valley family, this one is simply horrible! There is something seriously wrong with this flour; although I can’t say exactly what it is the cause - perhaps because it is “bleached”? That does seem to be the main difference between this …
Triple Leaf Tea White Tea
I am a regular drinker of Triple Leaf Tea White Tea. I truly love their brand of White Tea. This tea has helped me in my health life so much. It was once used and drank by Royalty and China. So why would you not drink it? Now a lot …
Yosoi Valsoia creamy white yogurt
I have never tasted any Valsoia product and I must say right now that I really regret trying it this time. Valsoia is an Italian brand that makes vegetable products and that means with less or no cholesterol, they are mostly made of soy milk and similar soy derivatives. …
Lipton Green Tea
I like to be healthy and one of the things that I have found that helps me keep off the weight and is actually good for you is Lipton Green Tea. Now don’t misunderstand me, I like my soda just like everyone else does, But there are times …
Deli Pride Cheeseburger
I ended up buying this 99 cent Deli Pride Cheeseburger the last time I went to Save-a-Lot. I figured, at very least, it would be a filling meal.
I have to say, it was one of the grossest lunches I have ever had.
First of all, the whole thing was soggy. …
HoMade Tea Biscuits
Like Shirley biscuits, I can remember that these tea biscuits have been around since I was a little girl. I used to like them at first, but my parents bought them a lot for me to snack on and for lunch so that after a while I got very …
Guiness beer
I have not tasted many brands of beer. However, one of the very few I have gotten to taste is a brand of beer called Guiness. I believe it is a beer which comes from either the UK or Ireland too. Nevertheless, I know that I have seen …
Bhelpuri
Garden is the name of a company which produces the new kind of salty snacks which are ready to eat and very fresh. The quality, purity, taste and even the quantity of the snacks produced by the company Garden are very good to eat. The packing of …

When I was a little girl I really liked Pez candies, my parent were buying them to me very often and they also had that toy which had you had to push down so that the candy would come out. I really adored those toys but they would never …
Jack ‘n Jill Cream-O

Burger King Roadhouse Burger Steak Sandwich
Yesterday my brother and i watched a movie and there was this big advertisement of the new Burger offering by Burger King. Being the curious being that we are, we did go to a BK store and got each one for us, it promised of a pure angus beef, …
Triscuit Garlic & Parmesan crackers
There was once a time when I absolutely hated Triscuit crackers. I always saw them on the commercials and they looked so good. But when I was younger, I tried them and was so disappointed by how much “texture” they had. Ironically, it is …
Marketside Five Cheese Traditional Crust Pizza
This pizza is sold in the deli section at Super Walmart stores. It’s a pizza made by Walmart, so it can’t be found elsewhere. The pizza is twelve inches and just under five dollars. There are five cheeses on this pizza: Romano, Monterey Jack, Provolone, Parmesan and Mozzarella. I …
Wendy’s - Homestyle Chicken Go Wrap
Wendy’s - Homestyle Chicken Go Wrap is a wrap that I find enjoyable as long as I ask them to skip the ranch sauce. I do not care for the zesty sauce and I feel that it gets in the way of the flavors that I would much rather …
