Reggano 100% Grated Parmesan Cheese
Reggano 100% Grated Parmesan Cheese is a basic Parmesan cheese that I’ve used on as a topping for several different meals, but most commonly spaghetti, lasagna, and other pastas. In my opinion, this particular brand of grated cheese does not particularly stand out from the competition. There …
Pillsbury Hotcake Creamy Vanilla Hotcake Mix
My family is one of those who like variety in their menu, most especially breakfast. We all believe in the adage that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. One of those that sometimes come into our breakfast table is hotcakes. Since I have been eating pancakes …
Tesco Crunch Duo Mix Muesli Yoghurt
This ‘Crunch Duo Mix Muesli’ yoghurt from Tesco was only cheap at about 35 pence but it is really gorgeous. I have eaten this as a snack and I have taken them to work to have as a breakfast as they are ideal. As you peel back …
Silk Pure Almond: Vanilla
I’m one of those people who likes to put different, exotic, creepy things into my shopping cart. One of those different things I decided to try is a package of Silk Pure Almond Vanilla. Another selection from the wonderful Silk line. I wasn’t hesitant to try this product because …
Taco Bell Spicy Chicken Soft Taco
I think the Spicy Chicken Soft Taco from taco is pretty good. I don’t think it is the greatest taco that they have but it’s pretty good. The Chicken they use in the taco is pretty good. If you put some hot sauce on it, it will taste just great. …
Bel Air’s Capitol Sandwich
Bel Air’s Capitol Sandwich had some good and bad points to it. This is one of the chain’s products that is available in their deli department, and I was looking forward to because of the ingredients.
However, right off the bat, I was really turned off because the bun …
Papa Murphy’s Cowboy Pizza
My wife was running errands yesterday and, since we didn’t have any plans for dinner, stopped by our local Papa Murphy’s for a take and bake pizza. Because they were on sale, she picked up a family sized Cowboy Pizza rather than our usual (Papa’s favorite).
While the Pizza was …
Liberty Gold Mushrooms
Product Description: Can of mushroom pieces and stems. I found this product at my local grocery store for 89 cents per can and used them a couple nights ago when I was making spaghetti for dinner.
What I liked about this product: I usually avoid spending more money on products …
LifeSavers candy
I like LifeSavers mint candy, it is one of my favorite candy-dish fillers. LifeSavers are available as Wint-o-Green (mint) and Pepp-o-Mint (peppermint); a well-sized 13 oz bag costs $1.98. Each candy is individually wrapped, and each has “LifeSavers” impressed on it. The candies are white, round, with a hole …
Cadbury Creamy Vanilla Ice Cream
I’ve always loved the Cadbury brand of chocolate, so when I noticed Cadbury also made ice cream I was curious to see whether or not it was as good as their chocolate products. The Cadbury Ice Cream was labelled as “Creamy Vanilla” which I thought sounded very …
Nestle Carnation White Chocolate
A lot of hot chocolate mixes actually don’t mix well, and then you get either lumps of powder that float to the top, or a big gloppy mess on the bottom. But this mix mixes right in, and I find it very easy to use - you just stir …
Cadbury Bournvita
Cadbury Bournvita now comes as new Bournvita with superchargers, containing vital nutrients which gives stamina and concentration. Ofcourse one can relish the chocolate flavour of Bournvita. I always used to have the feeling that we should not stop with just one particular drink or flavour for children, …
Cloverhill Bakery - Blueberry Donuts
Some supermarket grocery stores carry blueberry donuts made by Cloverhill Bakery. If your supermarket does not, do not worry, you are really not missing out on anything all that good. While I will say that the blueberry donuts are tastier than the cherry and strawberry donuts, the donuts still …
Fruitapone Plus Harmony Fruity Soap
I am not generally a huge fan of fruit scented soaps, but Fruitapone Plus Harmony Fruity Soap has proven to be an exception to my rule. I bought this package of three soaps at my local grocery store for $2.99CDN.
What attracted me to this soap was the great scent …
Lunch Buddies Strawberry Applesauce Cups
The Lunch Buddies Strawberry Applesauce Cups come in a six pack and the cups themselves are four ounces. ALDI Food Market stores carry this product for one dollar and twenty-nine cents. The blending of strawberry and apple flavoring works, in my opinion, because neither flavor completely dominates the other. …
7up soda
7up is a softdrinks or a soda that has been around for quite some time already. This soda drink is manufactured by the Pepsi Cola company; What I always remember about this product was that this is not only a soda to be drank as it is, but it …
Tesco Bolognese Pasta Sauce (500g)
Tesco Bolognese Sauce is one of my regular store cupboard staples. I buy pasta sauces frequently as I get through several jars each week. They are a versatile product that can be used in many dishes and are a helpful back up to have to hand if …
Kirkland Signature Trail Mix
I guess trail mix was originally meant for hikers. There are a variety of mixes, but I honestly hate most of them. Many actually make me feel nauseated after I eat them. The oriental trail mixes and a few others are okay, but most have one or two ingredients …
Big 100 Collossal Protein Bar
My husband is an avid shopper and card holding member of GNC. The store that sells every supplement you can legally dream of. Because of this, I have sampled more protein shakes, puddings, oatmeal, waters and anything else that manufacturers could pack protein into. In my …
Becel Pro-Activ Strawberry milk minidrink
Few weeks ago I saw Becel Pro-Activ Strawberry on sale in the shop near my house so I decided to try it. I saw many times commercial for litle drinks that reduce cholesterol levels in the blood but I never bought one until now. I decided to take it …
360 Organic Whole Wheat Pasta
I thought I was making the healthy choice when I purchased this pasta from my local health food store. I guess long term this pasta may be a little heathier for me than my traditional bowtie pasta purchase, but it is also disguisting.
Theres something just a little off about …
Little Debbie Cookie Wreaths
I find these Little Debbie Cookie Wreaths to be a relatively decent treat to enjoy around the Christmas season. You can only purchase these cookies in December, late November and early January. I purchase extra and store them in the refrigerator so that I can continue to enjoy these …
McCormick Fresh Catch Calamares Seasoning Mix
I am a food aficionado. I love to eat and discover new things about food. This is how I do my pastime with my daughters. Baking and cooking with them alone. One of the finger foods that I really like is Calamares. It is a very famous appetizer in …
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.
Great Value Potato Chips offer good quality at a reasonable price. A 12 oz (340 g) bag costs $1.50, still a little …
Anchor Full Cream Milk
Manufactured by Fonterra, I bought 788 gram for the price of PHP 187.00. This is the cheapest among the milk on the shelves when I bought it in a grocery store. Moreover, I have not tasted it for so long, I have been using Bearbrand ever since, but it …

Omaha Steaks stuffed sole with scallops and crab meat is an excellent meal for those who enjoy a good fish dinner. I make it for my husband and me once every few weeks. It’s simple to make and taste delicious. There are a few pointers I’ve …
Deer park pomegranate essence
I bought this water to try it out. As soon as I tried it I knew I didn’t like it. It taste nasty and also smells nasty. The best way I know how to explain it is that it smells and taste kind of like beer, it kind of …
Dandelion Leaf Tea
About two years ago, I was given a prescription for high blood pressure that basically worked by getting rid of excess water. I had such a bad reaction to it that I almost ended up in the hospital. Needless to say, the remaining pills went in the …
Post-Honey Roasted Honey Bunches of Oats Cereal
Whether early in the morning for breakfast, mid-day or at night, this is one of the better cereals off the shelf. It’s Nice & Crunchy. I can’t decide which is better…the crunchy flakes or the taste of honey that is so pronounced you can’t miss. It doesn’t matter if …
Eclipse Peppermint Gum
Eclipse Peppermint Gum is just okay, nothing fancy about it and nothing worth bragging about to you guys. I am a big gum chewer, and I enjoy many of the sugarless brands, but not this one. I mean, if there is nothing available, I will chew it, …
Nestle Coffe Mate Light (lower fat)
I intended to buy the full fat Coffee Mate but I picked up this light, lower fat version instead. I do not mind as it is fine. I personally prefer a full fat milk in my coffee and, even if I am trying to cut down on …
Spam Luncheon Meat
My aunt used to give these to our family occasionally by bulk, giving us boxes and we’d happily eat them with bread and egg for breakfast and afternoon snacks. As I was growing up however we have also tried other snacks and not only Spam, since this had high …
Smiley’s Cheeseburger Sandwich
Smiley’s Cheeseburger Sandwich can be found in the refrigerated cases at grocery stores for one dollar and twenty-five cents. In the small box comes one cheeseburger. This is not a mini-hamburger and it’s similar in size to the quarter pound hamburgers sold at fast food restaurants. Served with fries, …
Stern’s Miracle-Gro Houseplant Food
Stern’s Miracle-Gro Houseplant food with chelated iron is bringing my plants to life.
I put a few drops in the water before watering the plans and a few extra in a small dish if I’m trying to root a house plant and I see a big difference in the health …
Sara Lee Soft and Smooth Whole Grain White Bread
Of all the white breads I’ve had in the past year or so, Sara Lee Soft and Smooth Whole Grain White Bread is probably my favorite. That said, I really haven’t had a white bread that I truly love in a while. Rainbo used to be my favorite, …
Danacol Danone
Who said that everything healthy has to have bad taste? This product is a very good proof that this statement is not correct.
Danone is a company that produces dairies and it has the base in France, in Italy, where I live their products are very popular but I know …
Uncle Ben’s Ready Rice Cajun Style
This is a rice dish with a flavorful bite! There’s much more to this side dish than just white rice, although white rice does make up a major portion of what’s found in this package. I enjoy the flavor of green peppers, and there’s bits and pieces of green …
Marks and Spencer Extremely Chocolatey Mini Bites
I cannot afford to buy the bulk of my grocery shopping from Marks and Spencer but they do a few luxury goods that I regularly treat myself to, such as their Extremely Chocolatey Mini Bites. You get 18 bites in a tub for about £2.49, but they do …
Reggae Jammin Fish Sticks
The first time that I heard of the Reggae Jammin Fish Sticks product was when I heard it being advertised on the radio several years ago, but I mostly ignored the advertisement since I am not much of a fish person, and generally do not eat most fish products. …
No Name Ham and Cheese Stuffed Chicken
You can get different kinds of No Name Stuffed Chicken, but we prefer the Ham and Cheese kind in our house. They are delicious! They are pieces of breaded chicken, with a slice of ham and cheese just beneath the bread.
They are a great deal, too. We buy a …
Ocean Spray Whole Berry Cranberry Sauce
Back in December I was busy stocking up for the coming winter and one of the things I bought was cans of Ocean Spray Whole Berry Cranberry Sauce. As I don’t have a car, it can be tough getting out to the stores in the winter, as I never …
Pizza Hut Cheesy Pops
We have just finished a full cheesy pops pizza meal from Pizza Hut and it is wonderful we had 3 spaghettis, one of this is with 3 small meatballs and one order of cinnamon sticks, and a free 2 liter pepsi max. It was such a wonderful pizza and …
Reasor’s Grocery Stores
I love Reasor’s stores. The kids they hire are friendly and more outgoing than the usual places. They are all dressed in their whites and jeans. However, the prices of everything in those stores are so high. For example, Totino’s pizzas are about 50 cents more than Wal Mart. …
Sainsbury’s Belgian Chocolate Millionaire’s Shortbread
I spotted this chocolate and caramel shortbread in Sainsbury’s —˜food to go’ area of the supermarket and it looked gorgeous. It tasted absolutely delicious too and I can see this shortbread becoming a craze for me as I am buying another tomorrow. Considering it was not expensive, …
Chick-fil-A Sausage Breakfast Burrito
Chick-fil-A Sausage Breakfast Burrito is exactly like the chicken version, except that instead of the chicken, there is sausage. Everything else about the burrito is unchanged. Aside from the sausage, if you were to take a bite into this burrito, you would find scrambled eggs, onions, peppers and two …
Starbucks Coffee Jelly
I just came from a very stressful trip just today coming here to the office. I just wish I would be able to forget about how stressed I was, not to mention bringing with me almost 3 kilos of baggage, my laptop included. Luckily I saw a Starbucks coffee …
Tesco Enriched Olive Spread
This is a very nice butter-like spread from Tesco’s own range, called Enriched Olive Spread. This is not pure butter but a mixture with vegetable oils and olive oil. This not only tastes good, but I can use it in baking and it also has health benefits. …
