Kelloggs Jumbo Eight Flavor Family Cereal Pack
This is a very good value. This cereal pack contains the following: Mini Wheats, Corn Pops, Rice Krispies, Cornflakes, Apple Jacks, Froot loops, Raisin Bran and Frosted Flakes. That is a decent balance of healthy and not so healthy cereals. What I usually do is mix two cereals together: …
Beer Samuel Adams Cream Stout
I had this from a bottle, poured into a 16 oz. pilsner glass (a.k.a. my standard high-class glassware). Once poured, the beer produced a faint, tan-colored, 1-finger thick head with lacing that lasted throughout the entire drink.
The beer is a very dark brown, almost opaque with a little …
Skinny Cow Ice Cream Cones
I love my ice cream, and I’m serious about wanting it to taste good. However, as I get older I find myself being more and more health conscious. Sitting down to a big bowl of calorie-laden ice cream isn’t as viable as I was when I was …
Pillsbury Pumpkin Cookies with Cream Cheese Chips
I decided to give Pillsbury Pumpkin Cookies with Cream Cheese Chips a try one evening when having a cookie craving. My mother had a packet of these cookies stocked in the refrigerator since she absolutely is a cookie monster and of course loves pumpkin.
This package of cookies come with …
Honest Splash Super Fruit Punch Beverage
I love Juice and often look to keep some stocked at all times. I usually try to keep cranberry, and grape juice, but at times I like to mix it up and find different flavors. This is how I came across, Honest Splash Super Fruit Punch Beverage.
I am no …
Food Club Sliced Bacon
My wife made pancakes the other day and, to go with it, cooked up some Food Club sliced bacon.
I love bacon and really appreciated the gesture. But, compared to other brands of bacon, I have to say the Food Club brand was a major disappointment. And, it’s really hard …
Jiffy Blueberry muffin mix
I have been a huge fan of the Jiffy mix products when I started learning how to cook. My all time favorite product of theirs–besides the cornbread mix–is the blueberry muffin mix.
I have been using the Jiffy blueberry for quite some time, and I always have great results. The …
Dr. Pepper Soda
How does anyone drink a Dr. Pepper Soda? I’d really like to know because I can’t stand this beverage. Now, I love their commercials. I grew up with ‘he’s pepper, she’s a pepper, wouldn’t you like to be a pepper, too?’ Unfortunately for the Dr. …
Albertsons Polska Kielbasa
Albertsons Polska Kielbasa sells for two dollars and seventy-nine cents. I like to buy this sausage every month or so because I enjoy the flavor of it and find that it goes really well with bell peppers and fried potatoes. This is something that’s only sold at Albertsons, but …
Lindor Truffles Chocolate
A friend introduced me to a new chocolate temptation: Lindor Truffles. This delicious chocolate candy comes in 3 varieties: dark, milk, and white chocolate. Each one has this amazing smooth filling, made of “melting chocolate” which is actually the company’s secret recipe. The first kind I tried was milk …
Pringles Potato Crisps - Salt & Vinegar
Now here is a potato chip that is really quite likely to make you outright winch more than just once or twice when you take a bite into it! Try and be as ready as you can possibly be to have your taste buds attacked and conquered because the …
Koop’s Mustard
I’m the kind of person who likes her hot dogs pure: hot dog, bun, and just a dash of traditional mustard. No fancy mustards, no dijons, and definitely nothing with honey. For years French’s mustard suited me just fine.
But I’m also a person who likes a bargain, so when …
Laica chocolate candy Cappuccino
I am not a big fan of chocolate with coffee taste because chocolate has rather strong taste and coffee too so together they don’t go quite well, they kind a clash, although cappuccino doesn’t taste as much like coffee as coffee itself the mixture of it with chocolate is …
Red Bull
Red Bull is my all time favorite soft drink. I like to drink this sometimes in the morning instead of coffee on my way to work. I actually find it to be a very refreshing drink, especially in the summer.It’s not too sweet or sickly at all in my …
Lasco Corned Beef
My family never used to buy the Lasco Brand of Corned Beef, but would instead buy Grace corned beef for many years. However, some time ago they had begun to buy the Lasco Brand of corned beef. Now personally, I did not mind trying other brands even though I …
Kroger Deluxe Churned No Sugar Added Cherry Cordial Ice Cream
I was interested in this ice cream because I had never tried it before, and it looked very colorful and delicious. I thought it was a good deal at $2.50 per half-gallon, too, so I picked it up and brought it home.
This ice cream is basically made up …
Macaroni & Beef in Tomato Sauce by Banquet (frozen Dinner)
I still want my kids to feel like I have cooked for them even though I have to buy a lot of frozen meals because I am mom who provides total financial support for her kids and I am very busy. There are three of them and all sorts …
Florida’s Natural Premium Orange Mango Juice
This is really the only juice product put out by the Florida’s Natural company that I didn’t care for very much. The reason I was somewhat disappointed with this fruit juice is because I simply couldn’t taste hardly any mango in the juice. It was almost like I was …
Spaans Ginger Bars Sugar-Free Cookies
Continuing on with my holiday-season-stealing of my folks store-bought cookie arsenal (see my previous post on Spaans Lemon Chiffon cookies for more context) next up, Spaans Ginger Bars Sugar Free Cookies.
On the plus side once again, as apparently customary with Spaans’ packaging, you get a whole 10 oz tub …
Nissin Chocolate Wafer
Wafer lovers should try Nissin Chocolate Wafer. It’s a local brand here in the Philippines but for me it’s one of the best. The reason I like it is because the taste is just right. It’s sweet but not too sweet. It’s in small packages so it remains crispy …
Malteser’s Chocolate
I love chocolates! I usually buy them and snack on them when I am working so that I could keep my blood sugar high enough. I just recently bought a single Maltesers pack. Maltesers come in a pack of 37grams. I haven’t got the chance to count the chocolate …
Irish Spring Icy Blast
This is a fantastic deodorizing soap as long as you are not scent sensitive. These 90g boxed soap’s usually come in a pack of three and retail for about $2.49CDN.
Irish Spring soap is good value for money, I’ve noticed they do lather up nicely in the shower but they …

My family and I lead busy lives. As a result, I often need to find something quick and healthy for supper, that has low preparation time.
Lean cusine dinners were on sale recently at my Supermarket so I decided to pick up a few and try them.
The Lean Cuisine Chicken …
Kroger Lite Ranch Salad Dressing
Compared with “regular” ranch salad dressing, the Kroger Lite Ranch Salad Dressing has fewer calories and significantly less fat. It’s not devoid of either, but it has fewer of both for those that are watching just how many calories and how much fat they consume but still want to …
Del Monte Fit n Right Pineapple Juice drink
I often drink carbonated drinks but I have read that some of those drinks are not healthy for my diet. Some of carbonated drinks contains caffeine and sweetening that would increase my sugar and makes me fat. I’ve been looking for a drink that is healthier and will not …
Skinny Cow Fudge Bars
I am always on the lookout for a bargain, and I am always on the lookout for low calorie snacks! When I visited my local grocery store, and saw Skinny Cow Fudge Bars on sale for only $4Cdn for 7 bars, I bought them.
These bars are sweetened with Splenda …
Klondike Caramel Pretzel Bars
Klondike bars have a special place in my heart because of my grandmother. It didn’t matter when we went to her house, she always had a pile of them in the freezer and she was always quick to sneak us one before our parents could say anything. Since I …
Americana Mayonnaise
Earlier on in my life, I wasn’t really a lover of mayonnaise. It was only until recently though that I’ve come to appreciate mayonnaise in a good sandwich. I’ve also realised that not all mayonnaise are as good as others in terms of taste especially after trying quite a …
The Bar - Gin with Lemon and Lime
This was the first and original flavor of The Bar alcoholic drinks line, this was the first The Bar that I have tried, and the first time was really unforgettable. I didn’t think that it would be too strong or anything, so I drank one shot without any …

I think that everyone should have a crock pot. It should be a stable in ever persons home. My husband and I have a 4qt. Black crock pot that we bought at Target for about $20. We bought it on random day when we wanted to make meatballs for …
Wrigley’s Extra Cool Watermelon Gum
Wrigley’s has been one of my favorite brands of chewing gum for quite a while, so when I saw the new Wrigley’s Extra Cool Watermelon I had to check it out. I was not disappointed. The flavor may be a little too strong at first, but it quickly subsides …
Krunchers Original Potato Chips
A small bag of Krunchers! Original Potato Chips was included with my meal at Panera Bread bakery & cafe. I like the original version of chips, plain, without any additional flavors, so I was glad to try this new brand. The inscription on the bag said that the potato …
Great Value: Hamburger Buns
Great Value: Hamburger Buns taste fine when compared with name brand products. After all, there is really not much to a hamburger bun, now is there? These hamburger buns are soft and a decent size too and do a decent job holding a good sized burger with some toppings …
Healthy Choice Portabella Spinach Parmesan
I was interested in trying this Healthy Choice Pasta entrée because I love the combination of mushroom and spinach. It would have been better if it was broccoli, but you pick and choose from the choices you’ve been given. Also, this entrée was under 300 calories, had …
Land Low fat whip raspberry
I wasn’t really used to whips before but then in a shop near my house I discovered these great Land low fat whips and since then I am like addicted to them. You can find different tastes of this product and I really like all of them but my …
Papa Murphy’s Vegetarian Pizza
While I like getting my pizzas from Papa Murphy’s here in Beaver Dam, I have to say I’m not a huge fan of their vegetarian pizza.
Maybe it’s the fact I usually prefer to have some meat on pizzas; whether it’s sausage or pepperoni. And, of course, the vegetarian pizza …
365 Everyday Value Chunk Light Tongol Tuna in Spring Water
Of all the canned tunas on the market - and boy there are are a lot - the 365 Everyday Value Chunk Light Tongol Tuna in Spring Water is my favorite. It is my favorite for more than just a few reasons. I think the reason I enjoy this …
Hooters: Great Service and Food, for once
Last night, my friend and I decided to venture into Hooters. Being from Texas, the local Hooters restaurants are owned under a different company, the Texas Wings Association, and the food quality isn’t so bad. Down south, the food can at least taste better than those bar nachos you …
Sargento - Whole Milk Ricotta Cheese
Sargento - Whole Milk Ricotta Cheese is the only type of cheese that I use when I have the time and urge to make a homemade cheesecake. If I do not have the cheese on me at the time, I simply do not make the cheesecake and I only …
Keebler Ready Crust
I am very satisfied with the Keebler Ready Crust when I make a homemade pie! This is a graham crust and I feel it definitely enhances the quality of pies that I make. There are a number of reasons that I am happy with this crust, but one of …
Post Honey Bunch of Oats with Strawberries
I love Post and it has always been a part of my daily routine to eat Post brand of cereals. I love the Post Honey Bunch of Oats with Strawberries! I bought a double-bag box for about Php 450. The caloric count is about 150 calories per serving with …
Mom’s Best Naturals Honey Nut Toasty O’s
Mom’s Best Naturals Honey Nut Toasty O’s is a cereal that looks and tastes very much like General Mills Honey Nut Cheerios. I personally think that the cereal has a better, more satisfying, flavor to it than the Honey Nut Cheerios cereal. The honey and almond flavors seem more …
Breakfast Best Chocolate Chip Pancakes
I’m someone that doesn’t care too much for chocolate in the morning, but I also don’t always just have pancakes in the morning. Sometimes, I’ll have a breakfast dinner, where I have breakfast foods for dinner, and that’s when I gave these pancakes a try. The pancakes come already …
Cowboy Billy’s Homestyle Baked Beans
We ended up making hotdogs for dinner last night and, to go with them, we made a can of Cowboy Billy’s Homestyle Baked Beans.
I have had this brand in the past but this is the first time I have tried this particular variety. It was OK, but it wasn’t …
Lean Pocket: Chicken, Broccoli, & Reduced Fat Cheddar
I do not have very many good things to say about Lean Pocket: Chicken, Broccoli, & Reduced Fat Cheddar. About the only positive quality that this Lean Pocket has to offer is quality chicken. The chicken was pretty flavorful and tender, too. It was in very small pieces, but …
Putong Ube’s Assorted Flavored Puto (rice cakes)
I am not usually a big fan of puto (Filipino rice cake). However I have tried a lot of puto snacks from different bakeshops. Yes, I would eat them but it has certainly not become my favorite. One day when my husband craved for some rice cake, he insisted …

El Monterey Frozen Beef and Bean Burritos
Before you dive into the rest of this article gentle reader, I have a confession to make.
I recently committed heresy, well a form of heresy for Southeast Texas anyway. If you couldn’t tell from the title, I bought FROZEN Mexican food! I know, I know *blushes* for shame, for …
Carolina Gold Parboiled Rice
When my father’s friend and his family came back from abroad a few days ago, they brought a few products with them. One of those products was a very large bag of rice, which I late found out was a bag of Carolina Gold Parboiled Rice. As weird as …
