Bigelow’s Peppermint Herb Tea
You can get this in a bottle or it also comes in tea bags for convenience. It actually tastes a lot like peppermint and not those ‘fake’ ones that claim to taste like peppermint but actually lacks the peppermint taste (or it isn’t that potent) or just tastes TOO …
Reeses Peanut butter Whoppers
Reeses Peanut Butter Whoppers are a new treat that Reeses has come out with in the past few months. I bought it at Walmart Super Center the last time I ws there. These treats are using the malted milk balls we are all familiar with, they …
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 …
Pumpkin Oreos
I’m like most people this time of year, jumping for joy for everything pumpkin flavored. I was entirely sure about Pumpkin Oreos though. I’m a huge Oreo fan and I feel like there is a fine line that can be crossed when trying to pull of a Pumpkin Oreo. …
Bestlife Buttery Spread
Bestlife Buttery Spread is an alternative to the I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter spread. Both spreads offer a spread that mimics the flavor of butter without the partially hydrogenated oils. It’s an alternative that I turn to when I don’t have a coupon for the I Can’t Believe …
G7 Coffee - Ca Phe Hoa Tan (Vietnamese Coffee)
The G7 Coffee - Ca Phe Hoa Tan (Vietnamese Coffee) is in my opinion the best 3-in-1 coffee available internationally. The coffee is so well liked that it can be found even on popular online shops like Amazon.
I have never been to Vietnam but I have heard many good …
Lipton Yellow label tea
Drinking tea is one of my healthy lifestyle choice that all young people should go into. I take a cup of tea everyday since I’m not into coffee, It’s always been a tea day for me. It settles on my tummy better than any other hot drinks. I’m relaxed every …
Cedarlane Spinach and Monterey Jack Cheese Tamales
While the Cedarlane Spinach and Monterey Jack Cheese Tamales are not exactly what I would call a meal in itself, they sure are tasty! The spinach used in these tamales is quite delicious! It is fresh and crisp and strong in taste, too! Plus, they did not go easy …
Great Value Baked Vegetable Crisp Snacks
These baked crisp snacks are no more impressive than the vegetable crackers also sold under the Walmart Great Value brand. Just like with the vegetable crackers, these vegetable crisps are mainly rich in pepper flavor. Now I love the smell and taste of peppers, so this pleases me. The …
Chick-fil-A Chicken Breakfast Burrito
Chick-fil-A Chicken Breakfast Burrito is something that might be a tad rich for some people when it comes to breakfast. This breakfast burrito is packed chocked full with chicken, eggs, onions, peppers, Monterey Jack and cheddar cheese. The chicken is tender and crispy, the eggs rich, the onions and …
Castleton Salisbury Stakes
Castleton Salisbury Stakes have long been my solution for a quick, tasty, and cheap homemade meal. I buy them at Aldi’s, they are less than $2 for a 2 lbs pack of 6 steaks plus gravy.
The steaks are very easy to cook. All you need to do is: 1) …
Pigs n’ Taters Candy Bar
While traveling down to Florida with family to visit my brother for the holidays, we stopped off at a Cracker Barrel. After the meal, we browsed the shop for a little while and my dad came across a rather unusual item. It was a candy bar called …
Nabisco Milk Chocolate Covered Pretzels
Nabisco Milk Chocolate Covered Pretzels can be an addicting snack item to munch on because the combination of salt and milk chocolate is one that works well and leaves the taste buds with two tasty flavors. These chocolate covered pretzels first greet my taste buds with milk chocolate and …
Angel Coffee Creamer
Coffee has always been a good ritual drink in the morning or perhaps anytime of the day. I sometimes use ready-to-drink mix where Nescafe has famously produced several varieties like “unsweetened”, “decaf” or “strong” as they call it. The good thing with ready mix is that it is spill-proof, easy …
Mango frooti
Mango Frooti is a very popular fruit drink in India. It tastes really good, and even though, they use added flavor to give artificial taste to frooti, still it taste very much like real mango. It comes is different packing, the old and traditional one comes in a small …
Mapro Pineapple Syrup
My husband bought pineapple syrup to add on his cocktail drink. I was curious to taste it since it says on the ingredient that it has sugar, pineapple juice and water. So when you make a drink, you don’t need a sugar anymore because it is so sweet.
Mapro Pineapple …
Quaker Marshmallow Fruity Ohs Breakfast Cereal
I generally don’t buy sugar coated cereals , especially those that have quite a bit of artificial colouring added since they’re unhealthy and the older I get is the more likely these things will affect me. Nevertheless, recently I decided to lay down my rules for a little and …
Cadbury Cream Eggs
When Easter-time comes around, I am always happy to see the arrival of Cadbury cream eggs to the stores. These eggs are about 2 inches tall. There is a chocolate shell that surrounds a sweet, sugary center that is supposed to resemble egg yolk. They can …
Selecta Coffee Almond Cookie Ice Cream
This local brand of ice cream from the Philippines is very delicious and it’s brand is named Selecta. The flavor is Coffee Almond Cookies and it has cookies bits halves and wholes, almond halves and wholes, and premium coffee ice cream all blended together.

Mr. Chips by Jack and Jill
Mr. Chips remained true to its promise which was written on the back of its foil package. It said that “You just don’t bite your Mr. Chips chip. You go out and gobble them all up.”
Each bite of a chip makes you feel the cheesy goodness of it. Filled …
Jimmy Dean Breakfast Bowls
Normally, I love Jimmy Dean’s line of frozen food. This is particularly true when the meal includes sausage. As far as I’m concerned, Jimmy Deann produces the very best pork sausage, whether it be the big roll or the link variety. Not too spicy, but not too bland, JD’s …
Home Maker Premium Florida Squeeze Orange Juice
There are many squeezed orange juices I had tried. The most popular is Tropicana Minute Maid Pulp Orange juice. Despite being delicious, orange juice is healthy as long as it has no artificial ingredients. One time I visited the house of my former Supervisor at Quezon City Philippines and …
Lipton Pasta Sides
Lipton Pasta Sides are a quick and easy to make. They are also cheap. Eveyone in our family enjoys them. I especially like to stock up on them, when they are on sale at Price Chopper. They have a 10/$10 sale, so thats a dollar a bag. They have …
Goodfella’s Pizza: Friday Fever Meateor
The best pizza, frozen or otherwise I’ve tasted in a very long time.
Goodfella’s has a long reputation of making excellent frozen pizzas and have never been afraid of creating pizzas with interesting topping combinations and this particular pizza is definitely one of their best successes.
It is a meat filled …
Snyder Barbecue Potato Chips
I am not a huge fan of potato chips. In fact, I only really eat them if I’m having a sandwich or burger. And even then, I prefer kettle chips to regular ones. They are not as salty and have a nice gritty texture that I …
Nestle Coffee Creamer “The Original”
Nestles Coffee Mate Claims to make the perfect cup of coffee, but I would beg to differ! We had run out of regular half and half, and I was desperate for my morning cup of Joe. I looked in my cabinet to see what I could substitute, …
Silver Shred Marmalade
For as long as I can remember I have always bought orange marmalade to have on my breakfast toast, or croissant, yes I did say croissant, I do love orange marmalade on a croissant. I’ve bought every type of orange marmalade, expensive ones, cheap ones, well known brands and …
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 …
Sara Lee Soft and Smooth Wheat Bread
Sara Lee Soft and Smooth Wheat Bread was tried by me for taking a break from usual white breads that I buy and also because of health conscious decision to get some whole grains in the diet. As the name suggest, the bread was soft and smooth. To my …
Lean Pocket Philly Cheese Steak
Lunch for me can be a hectic time: I’m either working or running errands. Usually, if I’m able to get a quick bite, I stop at a fast food restaurant to fill in the void of my hunger. After realizing how much time I was losing because I had …
Thomas Bagels Limited Edition Pumpkin Spice Bagels
One of my favorite times of year is around the holidays because of all the cool foods that come out. One of my favorites is Thomas’ Pumpkin Spice Bagels. I bought mine at Kroger for $2.86 per back of 6 pre sliced bagels.
Personally, I like them a lot. They …
Campbell’s Chicken Noodle Soup
I have always been a chicken noodle fan since childhood. Campbell’s has been my brand of choice because it seemed to taste better than all the rest. For the past couple of years I have been trying to eat healthier and noticed that Campbell’s has a whole line of …
Pringles Multigrain Crisps Cheesy Cheddar
I really like the concept behind multigrain crisps. They’re like potato chips, except a little easier on the body because they contain parts of grains that contribute to a healthier heart and lower bad cholesterol. Now these crisps aren’t what I would consider a health food, not at all, …
Sugar Free Wannabe Cupcake from Just Delicious Bakery
This sugar free, deep chocolate, cream filled cupcake is called a Wannabe because of its resemblance to a Hostess Cupcake, but the resemblance is only superficial.
A package of Hostess Cupcakes has two cakes in it, actual weight about 4 ozs. I would always eat them both, doesn’t everyone? …
Euro Shopper Corn Flakes
I found Euro Shopper Corn Flakes in my local convenience store and, although I did not have much faith in them being equalled to Kellogg’s in quality, I bought them anyway as there was no other choice. These were very cheap at only 79 pence for a 375g …
Nestle All Purpose Cream
All purpose cream has lots of uses specially when making fruit salads and other sweets like cakes and mousses. You can’t actually make one without this. Sometimes, it’s also used for dishes with cream sauces and soups. The moment I learned how to cook and make …
Great Value Taco Shells
The Great Value Taco Shells come twelve to a pack for one dollar at Walmart. They are yellow corn taco shells and I think they taste as good and fresh as the taco shells sold under the name brands. On a couple of occasions, I’ve purchased these taco shells …
Truvia Natural Sweetener
I really do not know what to think about this natural sugar alternative. The makers claim that Stevia is used in its manufacture, but to be honest, I don’t think it is used, or if it is, it is used in extremely minute quantities. Stevia has a distinctive bitter …
Smucker’s Blueberry Syrup
I wasn’t too pleased with this blueberry syrup. The main reason that I wasn’t very satisfied with this syrup is because it wasn’t as thick as the syrup I’m used to using, and that syrup is made and sold by Log Cabin. This syrup from Smucker’s was more watery …
New York: The Original Texas Toast Cheese and Garlic Croutons
New York: The Original Texas Toast Cheese and Garlic Croutons make for a very tasty snack or a scrumptious topping to an afternoon or dinner salad. This is my favorite variety of croutons because I love both cheese and garlic, and both flavors are baked equally well into these …
Planters Trail Mix Spicy Nuts & Cajun Sticks
Although this trail mix has the word “spicy” in its name, I really don’t find this trail mix to be overly spicy. There’s a definite degree of hotness and sharpness to the trail mix, but it’s not enough to really set my mouth on fire or anything. It’s kind …
General Mills Cinnamon Burst Cheerios
While the General Mills Cinnamon Burst Cheerios cereal may be bursting with cinnamon flavor, the box that the cereal comes in certainly isn’t bursting with cereal. Ten ounces of this cereal will cost an individual around two dollars and fifty cents, depending on where the cereal is purchased. That’s …
Little Debbie Dessert Cakes - Yellow
Out of all the dessert cake varieties, I think that I like the Little Debbie Dessert Cakes - Yellow variety the most. Even still, I will not be purchasing these dessert cakes on a very regular basis because they are still not outstanding. The yellow cake is moist and …
Casillero del Diablo Shiraz
When Lyndsey and I have put our two young children to bed we often open a bottle of wine to drink whilst relaxing after a busy day. This is our time together with what we want on television instead of watching Kurt and Josh’s favourite programme such as Mickey …
Marks & Spencer Cheese & Onion Pie
I purchased this Cheese & Onion Pie from Marks & Spencer today and it is something I have purchased many times before. I was feeling a bit poorly today and did not feel like a big meal so just cooked up a small portion of this pie …
Bakery Fresh Peanut Butter Cookies
The weather is turning icy around here, so we went to the Dollar General to stock up on things that we might need if we can’t get out of the house for a few days. Of course these essentials included comfort/junk food. Peanut butter cookies is one of the …
Kirkland Signature Bottle Water
I love Kirkland Signature bottled water from Costco. However, you do have to buy an annual membership to Costco to get it.
Living in Las Vegas in 112-degree summers, you drink a lot of liquids. I will drink 1-2 cases of bottled water a week, most …

Pizza Hut Chicken Alfredo
I mentioned in another review that I ordered pasta from Pizza Hut this past weekend. Along with lasagna, I ended up purchasing some of their chicken Alfredo (they had a 2-for-one sale going on).
I wasn’t a huge fan of their lasagna (which is normally my favorite food), but this …
