Chiki Ball Snack
I know this product since i was a little kid. At that time, there were not so much snacks like this. There was only this Chiki Balls, Taro, Chitato, Chetoos and Jetzet. Each brand have their own strength.

Great Value Apple Blossoms

I ended up with Great Value Apple Blossoms. And, they …
The best salsa in a jar
I admit, I’m not a true Bostonian. I grew up in that southwestern corner of CT that was claimed by the NY-Yankees. I never liked the Red Sox.
Recently, my boyfriend snuck a bottle of “Big Papi Salsa” into our fridge. I say “snuck” because I tend to react badly …
Tunnocks Caramel
I love my sweets and confections and when it comes to chocolate I sometimes like to treat myself to one of the delicious chocolate bars I have grown up with, that is simply named Tunnocks Caramel. This caramel chocolate bar is pretty expensive which is why I call it …
Kissan Tomato Puree
Most of my home cooked dishes include tomatoes and so I bought a lot of Kissan Tomato Puree for a stock. From Chicken Mechado recipe to simple tomato soup I really use Kissan Tomato Puree in tetra pack size because it is so economical.

Wai Loong’s French Fries

Buitoni Grilled Vegetable & Goat Cheese Agnolotti
I eat a lot of pasta and we really enjoy fresh pasta. For the price and quality we usually buy buitoni brand pasta in the refrigerated section of our store. 99% of their products are excellent. They would be the brand if I walked into a …
Henry Weinhard’s Root Beer
Henry Weinhard’s Root Beer is something I get from time to time, but those are rare times, mostly because it just cost so darn much. This is considered a big time treat for me, and as a result, I really only buy the product once or twice a …
Nissin Yakisoba Spicy Chicken
If there is one noodle brand I love, that would be Nissin Yakisoba spicy Chicken. I just adore the flavor so much that I make sure I have it in our pantry all the time. Compared to other instant noodles out there which are mostly bland and tasteless, Nissin …
See’s Candies Milk Hollow Easter Egg Bunny candy

Dillman Farm - All Natural Cherry Butter Fruit Spread
I do not feel that the Dillman Farm - All Natural Cherry Butter Fruit Spread goes quite as well with my morning breakfast as the apple or pumpkin or blueberry spreads do, but I must say that this spread does have a very strong and quite rich cherry flavor …
Hormel Compleats Spaghetti
Recently, I tried Hormel Compleats Spaghetti with meat sauce. I’ve always enjoyed Hormel products and feel it is a quality brand with a taste I enjoy. Since spaghetti is my all-time favorite food, and this promised a meal in 90 seconds, I just had to try it.
The …
Don Simon orange juice
When you buy orange juice, it’s difficult to choose, as even if they’re all supposed to be the same product, they all end up tasting different in the end.
One of the brands that I have tried is Don Simon. The first good thing that I noticed about this orange …
Sunnyside Farms Chocolate Sundae Cups
I’ve been buying sundae cups for many years and I’ve purchased different brands of them as well. For the first time, I purchased Sunnyside Farms Chocolate Sundae Cups. Sunnyside Farms is a store brand, and it’s one I’ve never been fond of. Still, every now and …
Lucky Me Mac and Cheese
We were in the supermarket when my daughter grabbed this Lucky Me Mac and Cheese and requested to buy it for her. Seeing it from a tv commercial made her want it so much. And so I bought a couple of packs at 15 pesos (if …
Corazonas Lightly Salted Tortilla Chips
I admit up front that I’m not much of a health-conscious eater. I grew up on junk and processed foods, so most of the ‘good for you’ foods just don’t agree with my taste buds. Last year, though, I became acquainted with the Corazonas brand. It’s …
Hersheys Kisses - Caramel Centers
I saw a bag of Hershey Kisses on the shelf at Fry’s Food Store the other day. I was particularly drawn to it since I was not aware kisses came with caramel centers. Being that caramel is one of my favorites I was curious how the caramel would be …
Lays chips
Everybody knows that Lays is an internationally acclaimed brand for its awesome chips. When I first got to taste those chips, I did not like them much. Maybe it was the flavor or my bad mood, I don’t know, but the next time the chips tasted so good. Its …

Weigh 2 Go
I buy many things in the bulk section of my grocery store-pasta, seeds, baking supplies, rice, candy (particularly gummy bears), raisins, nuts, dried fruit and berries, and sometimes even granola and dried cereal. I find that the quality is generally almost as good, with most stores and items anyway, …
Pepperidge Farm Texas Toast Garlic
I don’t see what’s so special about the Texas Toast from Pepperidge Farm. I never purchased the Texas Toast made by this company because it’s over three dollars a box until one day it was on sale for two dollars a box. I bought all four varieties because I …

Mission Tortilla Triangles Restaurant Style
Mission Tortilla Triangles Restaurant Style is a snack food that’s ideal for parties and gatherings, especially big day gatherings like for the Super Bowl, but also for individual snacking too. Although I wish that this snack food was shaped with dipping in mind, like the Tostitos Scoops! Hint of …
Henry Weinhard’s IPA
Henry Weinhard’s came out with an India Pale Ale not too long ago, and, for a refreshing price, this is a refreshing ale. Henry Weinhard’s Ale line has attached to it a famously low price for a rather decent beverage. This is common knowledge throughout the Northwest. …
Bavaria Non-Alcoholic Drink
There are very few non-alcoholic drinks like Bavaria around. Sparkling water can be rather expensive. Thus Bavaria provides a cheaper alternative which comes in a bottle or a can. One can of Bavaria is comparable in price to a can of Coke. We bought the Bavaria cans of drinks …
Nestle Fruit Selection Yogurt Melon Nata

Bagel Bites
Many years ago, I tried Bagel Bites and absolutely hated them. They were cheap and they tasted cheap. In the last couple of years, I’ve been curious about them. They’re advertised so often, and I began to wonder if maybe they improved, which wouldn’t be unheard …
Racine Raspberry Danish Kringle
I can’t find Racine Raspberry Danish Kringles at any of our local stores and, as a result, the first time I actually had an opportunity to try this particular product was when I ordered it through our daughter’s school fundraiser last spring. Well, actually, to be more accurate, we …
Triple Berry Loaf Cake by The Bakery at Walmart
I just love the Reduced-fat Very Berry Coffee Cake sold at Starbucks. But, I don’t want to always have to go to Starbucks to get it. When I saw this in our local Walmart Bakery section, I knew I had to try it!
While the Starbucks version contains blackberries, blueberries …
Knorr Food Seasonings
There are quite a lot to choose from when it comes to ready to “eat” seasonings available in the market. These products are mainly distributed by only two known brands in the country. These are the Knorr seasoning products and Maggi products. I am not very familiar with the …
PC Teensy Weensy Blueberry Muffins
These muffins are a hit with my kids. Both my one-year-old and my seven-year-old enjoy them, and I have to admit to sneaking some when they are not around.
I have tried other mini muffins from other stores, specifically the muffins from the Sobey’s supermarket, but they are hard and …

Tesco Mississippi Mud Pie Chocolate Dessert
I treated myself to this Mississippi Mud Pie today and it tasted really good. It is probably helped greatly by the fact that it contains Belgian chocolate —“ is there such a thing as bad Belgian chocolate? I did not expect too much from this dessert as …
Miso-Cup Instant Soup
I recently decided to give Miso-Cup instant “Delicious golden vegetable soup” by Edward&Sons a try. It comes in a box with Eight 8-oz servings in Four Envelopes for $5.49. I had always enjoyed Miso soups at Asian restaurants, so I wanted to see what this freeze-dried version would …

Kohinoor Basmati Rice
I like the presence of rice most in my meal. In fact, I belong to an area which is the best in the production of rice. Nowadays, when I am shifted to the metro, there obviously I cannot hope to get rice from my native place.
The solution is in …
Primula Cheese and Chives Spread
I have bought Primula cheese spread quite a few times purely out of convenience but I cannot say that I am particularly keen on it. I think it tastes rather processed although it actually contains no artificial flavorings or colorants. It consists of real cheese, skimmed milk, …
Cafe21, 2 in 1 instant white coffee mix, without sugar
I was never a fan of premixed coffee that usually comes in 3 in 1 forms. It is a combination of non-dairy creamer, sugar and instant coffee powder. They are either too sweet or too watery for my taste. I want to taste the coffee not …
