During these hard economic times, one of the best ways to save money is by watching how much you spend at the grocery store. I have recently started buying more generic products. Though some are very good, others are just terrible and down right inedible. I do, however, love …

I have loved Banquet Chicken Pot Pies since I was a child — at least 45 years I would say. If you have never eaten a Banquet Pot Pie, it is small, just a few inches across, and frozen so it is convenient …

As I was shopping for my toiletries, I came across a chocolate bar which claims to be “EXTRA CRISPY” and “twice the crisp.” Just nother marketing gimmick, that’s what I honestly told myself at first.
Nevertheless, since I wanted to know for sure that it was indeed just a …

These small treats are pretty similar to raisins - small dried fruit. But they are made of cranberries, which makes them sweeter than, and sometimes more bitter than raisins. They are also a very healthy snack.
We buy them in big bags and use them for everything. They can be …

Alaska Crema All Purpose Cream is not really my original brand but one Christmas season, I decided to give it a try when the other brand that I was using went out of stock in the grocery store near my place. I did not have the time to travel …

Although I tend to personally prefer the L’oven Fresh Hamburger Buns for hamburgers, roast beef, chicken patties and so on, there are others in my family that like the Great Value 8 Enriched Jumbo Hamburger Buns because of how big they are. I don’t care for big buns myself …

If you’re looking for a healthy alternative snack you should try Growers’ Nutribar. It was recommended to me by roommate who is into weight lifting. It looks like an energy bar but cheaper. A bar costs 14 Philippine Pesos (about 28 US cents) and box of six costs 80 …

Pizza Hut is arguably my favorite pizza place in recent years. I’ve ordered elsewhere quite a bit, but ultimately, I tend to enjoy their menu better than most others. One of the food items that I really love to have from time to time are Pizza Hut …

These are lovely Hot Cross Buns from The Co-operative’s own brand and I only paid 30 pence for them as they had been reduced as they were nearing their sell by date. That is one of the good things about the Co-op and you should always look out …

I am not the biggest coffee drinker in the world, so I don’t have a terrible lot of experience with coffees, or even the fancier cappuccinos or other flavors. However, I have tried the Tetco Cappuccino and it was, I have to say, pretty tasty and really hit …

A couple days ago, I was in the mood for a meatball sub. Normally, I get these at Subway but Cousin’s was on the way home so I stopped their instead.
It was OK, but I think I still prefer Subway’s version.
I’m a huge Cousin’s fan, mostly because they do …

I do not add a lot of salt to my diet, except for chips and baked potatoes mostly, and I do not usually buy salted butter, but I tried this butter from Morrisons own brand for a change, called Brittany Butter with Sea Salt Crystals. I was brought …

These came with a special Valentine’s Day basket that I purchased, and boy am I glad that they did! If I would have actually purchased these Little Debbie Cherry Cordials - Valentine’s Day variety, I would have felt totally ripped off! These cookies are the exact same as the …

I have long been a fan of Betty Crocker products, and have tried a variety of her hamburger helper meals over the years, but I had never tried the Chili Macaroni flavour until now. What really made me buy it at my local supermarket was the picture of the …

When it comes to salads, my choice of dressing is always ranch. I only had the opportunity to try French dressing when I was in fifth grade, and eating from the salad bar. I thought it was good when I was a kid, and wanted to take another shot …

I initially tried the Hickory version of this marinade previously and liked it tremendously. So when I got the opportunity again, I brought another bottle of that flavor and a bottle of Figaro: Mesquite Liquid Smoke and Marinade for ninety-four cents at Walmart.
I personally love to season my …

If you want a cookie or cake that bakes similar to one made with wheat flour then the Gluten Free Pantry brand of chocolate chip cookie and cake mix might be the one for you. This mix is easy to make. All of the ingredients are in the box …

This is a moderately satisfying Italian Side creation from Knorr, although it’s not my favorite. It’s a little on the mild side and thus not quite as flavorful as some of the other Italian and Pasta Sides that I’ve had. This Italian Side has a pretty creamy sauce that …

Guinness has something good going on, not only with their world famous Guinness Draught Beer, but yet again with its lighter Guinness Harp beer. This beer doesn’t have quite the same bold taste as its brother beer but it still taste delicious and gives people an excuse to say, …

I found these Little Debbie Snack Pie - Chocolate variety pies to be decent, although certainly not outstanding by any stretch of the means. This pie is pure chocolate on the inside and chocolate lovers are sure to go bananas over this pie, especially if they place this pie …

Wendy’s has now come out with a Freschetta Sandwich that is really out of this world. I rarely am in the mood for burgers and fries at fast food restaurants, and so usually I try and open myself to their other options that may be slightly more appealing …

When it comes to dinner, it’s sometimes hard to find something I can get my 3-year-old daughter to eat. I mean I can find somethings for her but they are usually the same things she eats all the time and I’m afraid she’ll get burned out on them really …

I …

When it comes to endulging in a wonderfully authentic-seeming Italian cookie, Nonni’s Biscotti can’t be beat!
Although they are made either with one edge dipped in chocolate or not, I definitely prefer the chocolate for the additional flavor layer and texture it provides. Crunchy and hard with toasted almond slivers, …

Totino’s pepperoni pizza rolls are mini versions of a regular size pizza. They’re equivalent to two fortune cookies, and packed full of cheese, tomato sauce, and mini squares of pepperoni.

I like the Hostess 100 calorie pack chocolate cakes. They come 6 packs in a box. You get three little mini cakes in a package. It has 3 grams of fat, 5 grams of fiber, and 22 carbohydrates. Not too bad for a snack. I can even …

If you ever try donuts from J-Co, you will probably remember the taste for the rest of your life. I mean, it’s really delicious. Really! I ate so many donuts already, but J-Co donuts is the best.
J-Co donuts offers many kind of taste. And you can not compare the …

Kit Kat Crisp Wafers are one of my favorite chocolate candies. It reminds me of a wafer bar that I used to be able to buy when I was a kid. I can’t recall the name of that bar, but I loved it big time. It …

My wife had to run to the store late yesterday afternoon. And, since I had the baby and she wasn’t allowing me to cook, I had her pick up some frozen pizzas for dinner.
She came home with PizzAmore pizzas from Freschetta; including their 10-topping pizza.
While there were some things …

I first learn about the brand when I first saw the biscuits in a Duty Free shop. Of all the variants that were before me, I chose mint because it was something unconventional and the mixture of dark chocolate and mint gives the best experience for anybody who has a …

I absolutely love tuna and I always make it at home in a completely different way. Definitely not tuna salad style. Either way, I was introduced to Tranquil’s Tuna Sandwich by one of my friends who was very accustomed to having them. They only come available in already sliced …

Jell-o Pudding - Vanilla is not quite as good and delicious as the instant boxed pudding variety, although I still enjoyed my purchase of it. I still found the vanilla flavor to be relatively rich and tasty, and the texture of the pudding, creamy and smooth. The three pack …

I tried one of their Café Steamers products, Cajun Chicken & Shrimp, and had a positive experience. But I was curious to see how this steaming process would work with pasta. The Chicken Margherita has angel hair pasta with grilled chicken and tomatoes in a balsamic vinaigrette …
