The prices mostly compliment the taste of their cooking …

I like eclairs, and one of my recent discoveries in that department is Poppies Belgian Mini Eclairs. A plastic box containing about 30 small, half-a-finger size eclairs costs $3.98. The eclairs are sold frozen, and they must be kept that way. When you want to use them, you just …

Often when I eat at Taco Bell I eat the Fiesta Taco Salad. Because I am allergic to milk I get it without cheese and sour cream and I add a side of guacamole. I love the Taco Salad. I don’t eat it with those tortilla strips …

I purchase Kroger Value Enriched Hot Dog Buns because they are pretty cheap, no other reason. When on sale, they are cheaper than Walmart’s Great Value hot dog buns but they also suffer from the same problem as Walmart’s hot dog buns: they fall apart real easily. These hot …

I am disappointed with this product. I expected it to be heavily blueberry-flavored but no, it wasn’t. The cream between the two pieces of biscuit looks like caramel cream. It doesn’t even look like blueberry cream, and the layer of cream is so thin that it was …
