Happy Harvest Asparagus
When I was a kid, my parents used to eat asparagus all the time and I ended up hating it. And, as an adult, I never bought it.
However, a few months ago, my wife and I went out to dinner at a new restaurant and, as an appetizer, they …
Oscar Mayer Little Smokies
I love the taste of these little sausages and I tend to buy them once the air outside grows cool and nippy. There’s nothing better on a cold day than a meal prepared with some Little Smokies to add some extra flavor. I guess a lot of people use …
Clancy’s Pretzel Sticks
Clancy’s Pretzel Sticks is a snack food item that’s well worth a dollar thirty for a sixteen-ounce bag. A lot of pretzel sticks come in a bag that size, making it ideal for friendly gatherings or even just to have around the house to snack on or have with …

Okey vanilla milkshake
I like vanilla milkshakes a lot, and I buy often at the supermarket so I can always have some vanilla milkshake in my fridge. One of the brands that I have tried is Okey.
I found it in 750 ml bottles and in 200 ml bottles. I usually buy the …
Tostito’s Restaurant Style Tortilla Chips
For the first time in my life I purchased Tostito’s Restaurant Style Tortilla Chips. I’ve never really tried to buy tortilla chips, but my sister has always bought them. A lot of times she has brought leftovers to me, but it’s only been recently that I’ve grown …
Ya Kun Kaya Toast
Ya Kun Kaya Toast is like a mini coffee-house with lots of basic and nice beverages like coffee, tea, jasmine tea, ice lemon tea and many more. This is one of my most favorite hang-outs whenever I have lunches or mini breaks. I will make it a point …
Jack in the Box new French fries
A while back, Jack in the Box had a free French fries Friday to promote the fact that they are no longer using trans fat in their cooking. This is definitely the trend in fast food chains and restaurants. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but free …
Best Choice Orange Blast Flavor Sports Performance Drink
Both of my sons play sports, so we are at some sort of athletic field almost everyday of the week. They do drink a lot of water, but they also enjoy sports drinks. I do not mind buying them because I know they help replace lost electrolytes, but they …
Hair of the Dog Energy Drink
Hair of the Dog is an energy drink which is sold claiming that it will actually help detoxify your body. All drinks which have water in them can do this. However, this drink sells them off as some sort of attempt to claim that it will actually decrease your …

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 …
Cadbury Original Drinking Chocolate
I had never bought Cadbury’s Original Drinking Chocolate before recently because I always used other types of hot chocolate or cocoa powders to make my drink in the morning or night. I was prompted to purchase a canister of Cadbury’s Original Drinking Chocolate after looking at a recipe for …
Wendy’s Sea Salt French Fries
I recently went to Wendy’s the other day and I noticed that they had a sign that said. “Natural Cut Sea Salt Fries.” It also said that they were fresh cut with Russet potatoes. This had me believe that they were made with better ingredients and that of …
Texas Pete: Red Hot Sauce
This hot sauce is indeed hot! It burns and doesn’t quit burning for a few moments. I like that I don’t need to pour it on, either. A little will do! That being said, it’s not just hot, but flavorful too. The flavor of the sauce reminds me of …
Chef Boyardee Macaroni and Cheese
I recently decided to try Chef Boyardee’s new Macaroni and Cheese. From the packaging, which is a 7.5 ounce bowl that you can put in the microwave, it looked like an exciting and tasty mini-meal. And of course, the word “New!” probably also attracted me to it. …
Hormel Chili - no beans
One of the canned foods that I recently discovered was Hormel Chili. I’d never really thought about eating chili that wasn’t homemade, but my husband enjoys Hormel chili, so I thought I’d try it. I had to go with the no beans chili (I love that Hormel …
Coffee Mix
Maxim has come out with Mocha Gold, a coffe mix of instant coffee, powdered cream, and sugar, all wrapped neatly in an individual-sized package. Lovely. I’m drinking a cup of it as I’m writing this review, in fact. It’s sweet, without being too sugary, as the sugar content is …
Pringles Original Chips - 0.81-Ounce Units
I really do not recommend purchasing these units no matter when you plan on using them, be it on the go, work, picnic or anything. The reason I do not recommend these units is because they are a bit too pricey for the amount of chips that comes in …
UFC Banana Catsup
We use catsup almost every meal time specially when it comes to fried dishes. It’s a good dip for fried chicken, hotdogs, burgers and sandwiches. Ever since I was kid, this is the brand of catsup my mom always buys. And now, this is the same …

I recently tried out a great drink on the market. It was a lite half and half iced tea and lemonade drink by arnold palmer, the famous golfer. The company that makes it is Arizon and has dedicated him with this beverage. The drink depicts the …
Johnsonville Original Recipe Breakfast Sausage Patties
I’ve been hearing about Johnsonville Original Recipe Breakfast Sausage Patties for years, but I’ve never had them; at least, not to my knowledge. When presented with both a coupon and the item on sale recently, though, I decided to give them a try and see if they lived …
Sargento Cheese Dips - Cheddar Dip & Zesty Ranch Bagel Chips
Sargento Cheese Dips - Cheddar Dip & Zesty Ranch Bagel Chips make for a tasty and memorable snack. This snack consists of three “parts”: the bagel chips, the zesty ranch flavor that can be found already on the chips and the cup of cheddar dip. What I really like …
Michelina’s Five Cheese Lasagna
I had Michelin’s Lean Gourmet five cheese lasagna the other night for the first time. This lasagna is a frozen dinner meal. It’s just the right size for me. My husband on the other hand would say there wasn’t enough food. If you don’t usually eat a large meal …
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 …
Friendly Farms Greek Blueberry Low Fat Yogurt
Friendly Farms Greek Blueberry Low Fat Yogurt can be purchased from ALDI Food Market stores for seventy-nine cents per six ounce container. Now ALDI is known for low prices and it’s certainly possible to purchase cheaper yogurt in the larger grocery stores like Walmart and Target, but this is …
Belbake Sponge Flan Base
Everybody likes cakes and all other deserts, but making them might be really time consuming and hard and we simply cant afford to do it (or in my case being just lazy in this occasion).
I had guests announced to come to over in the afternoon and I wanted to …
Pillsbury Perfect Portions Refrigerated Big Buttermilk Biscuits
Many people associate Pillsbury with biscuits, and this is exactly why you should. This new way of packaging their Big Buttermilk Biscuits is a great idea. 10 buttermilk biscuits come packeed in a small cardboard box and wrapped in pairs in plastic that you easily peel apart starting at …
Stouffer’s Sausage French Bread Pizza
Stouffer’s Sausage French Bread Pizza is not that hot. For one thing, the sausage looks like small pebbles. I do not like sausage that is cut up into super small pieces and then sprinkled on top of the pizza. That is not how I like my sausage pizza. I …
Twinning’s Green Tea Mint Flavor
We need to be proactive in taking care of our body. I don’t just rely on exercise and eating healthy but rather I also take supplements, vitamins, juices and I drink tea. Green tea is believed to have high content of antioxidants. This is the main reason why I …
Spaans Spiced Windmill Sugar-Free Cookies
Once more, for the third time exploring my near diabetic Papa’s arsenal of store-bought holiday treats, we have Spaans Sugar Free Spiced Windmill cookies next on the buffet line. (For clearer context, see my other Spaans cookie reviews, such as Lemon Chiffon and Ginger Bars.)
So…how does this latest “commandeered …
Trader Joe’s Organic Hummus
I love hummus. I might even be something of a hummus connoisseur, I’ve eaten so much and so many different kinds. When I saw that my local Trader Joe’s had their own hummus, I just had to try some.
I really like creamy hummus. The creamier, the better, in my …
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) …
Spinach Soup
Yummy to Spinach Soup totally. Not only this soup is nutritious, I also find that the taste is pretty airy and light and gives a fast full reaction in my stomach. The idea of this combined with some bread to dip in is also quite enticing.
Normally, if I …
Leslie’s Baked Cheezy Puffs
Leslie’s Products have been popular in the country now for quite sometime. I remember still enjoying a pack of clover chips at school, or even at home watching tv. Their flavor is unique and they even made smaller packs of chips sold only at one(1)peso per pack! Yes, this …
Chunks O’ Fruti Mango Fruit Bars
Chunks O’ Fruti mango fruit bars are frozen fruit bars that I discovered in my mom’s deep freezer. She always has the best selection when it comes to frozen fruit desserts and ice cream. I began purchasing them for myself after trying their strawberry fruit bars which are also …
Blue Bunny Original Ice Cream Tin Roof Sundae
While not incredibly delicious or memorable, this Blue Bunny Original Ice Cream Tin Roof Sundae is an ice cream that I did enjoy. The vanilla ice cream used in this variety is not quite as flavorful, creamy or rich as the all-natural premium vanilla, although it is still certainly …
National Naturals Wheat Bran Crackers
I actually discovered this type of crackers by accident since when I was in the “National” section in an aisle in the supermarket I saw this and for some reason thought it was their oat bran crackers. However, when I finally got a chance to eat it at home, …
Sanjeev Kapoor’s Khazana Hot Mango Pickle
I love pickles. Many Indians would agree that no matter how tasty a dish is there is nothing like a bit of pickle to enhance the flavors and give the taste buds a tingling sensation. Not to mention it can rev up a bland and dull dish too.
Well, …
Kellogg’s Frosted Rice Krispies Cereal
I like Rice Krispies cereal, but I love Frosted Rice Krispies cereal! I find this cereal to be positively delicious, but unfortunately, the reason this cereal is so good is also the reason why a person should avoid it, or at least, only have it once and awhile. This …
Amarula Cream liquor
This cream liquour is made of fresh milk and an exotic fruit called marula. This fruit, that I didn’t know beforehand, seems to have a lot of vitamine c. More important than that, mixed with milk makes an unique mix with a soft and delicious taste.
This drink has a …
Belmont Premium Ice Cream Cookies & Cream
Belmont Premium Ice Cream Cookies & Cream comes in a one point five quart container for two dollars and forty-nine cents at ALDI Food Market stores. This is an all natural ice cream that’s all good in my book! This ice cream combines two tasty things: chocolate cookies and …
Bigelow Cozy Chamomile Herb Tea
When I am really stressed out or can’t sleep one of my favorite herbal teas to drink is Bigelow Cozy Chamomile Herb Tea. I love these herbal tea because I find it really soothing and calming and I like the fact that it doesn’t contain any caffeine or chemicals …
Deerfield Farms Microwaveable Popcorn
Product Description: Box of microwaveable mini-bags of popcorn. I found this last night at our local Walgreen’s Pharmacy for $1.79/box (or 2 boxes for $3).
What I liked about this product: I’ve been pretty disappointed with microwaveable popcorn lately and, as a result, I shy away from spending too much …
Zacky Farms Jumbo Chicken Franks
My husband and I had never purchased any product by Zacky Farms and had pretty much been cutting back on hot dogs, in our quest to eat better. However, sometimes the urge just hits you and you have to have a certain food. When shopping at a …
Graeter’s Black Raspberry Chip Ice Cream
My youngest child told me about Graeter’s French Pot Ice Cream after a teacher brought it to school for students to try. She raved and raved about this ice cream as though it was crazy good compared to any other ice cream I’d ever had. As a total …
Koka Cream of Chicken and Corn Soup in a Cup

Purity Multi-grain Corn Bread (with whole wheat and Raisins)
A popular brand of bread, bulla and bun here is Purity, and even though I disliked their food a few years ago, I’ve come to like a few of their products just recently, and I’m not sure if it’s because they might have changed a couple of their recipes. …
Kopiko Brown Sugar Coffee
I normally do not drink coffee that much except if I have to get up early and I need some beverage to perk up my day. There are varieties right now in the market that makes coffee more appealing. There are flavored coffees nowadays like the ones that are infused …
Nescafe 3 in 1 Instant Coffee Mix in INTENSE
I like instant coffee, but I am a little picky about what coffee I buy. I like the Nescafe 3 in 1 Brands, and I like the one that says INTENSE. There are other flavors to choose from, but for Php50 for pack of 12 individual packs. This one …
