Hamburger Helper Philly Cheesesteak flavor mix
Lately, I have been on a bit of a Hamburger Helper mix “kick” after not buying these products for years. I have been working my way through a variety of the different flavors. I decided to try the Philly Cheesesteak flavor because …
Birdseye Fresh-like Green Beans
We ended up having a leftover turkey dinner last night and, to go with it, my wife made some Birdseye Freshlike brand Green Beans.
Normally, I like frozen vegetables like this particular brand. But, I have to admit, I was somewhat disappointed with them.
First, they just didn’t seem to cook …
Lucky Me Instant Noodles
I sometimes forget to eat at lunchtime but never do I skip my breakfast. For some this is odd but for me this is actually just fine. I can’t be as enthusiastic as I should be to do my daily activities without eating my breakfast. One hot noodles, bread …

For those who want to buy this product, let me be the first to tell you that it’s full of chemicals. There’s Sucralose aka Splenda and Aspartame. If you don’t know what Aspartame, it’s the most dangerous additive in our foods. It can cause a lot of illnesses, from …
Chef Boyardee Lasagna Big Bowl

Alpha Bits Cereal
I’m a huge cereal lover and generally try to eat a healthy one. A couple of weeks ago I bought a box of Alpha Bits (it was on clearance sale at the supermarket) and boy was I glad I did.
This cereal is supposed to be for kids, who try …
Vermont Maid Syrup
Vermont Maid Syrup is expensive and it is also not really spectacular in any sense of the word. The syrup has a decent flavor to it, although it is not as rich and delicious as the syrups made by Log Cabin and Mrs. Butterworth’s. The syrup is relatively thick, …
Hot Cocoa Mix
I recently tried some of the Archer Farms Hot Cocoa Mix from Target and I absolutely love it. I have the English Toffee, Dulce de Leche, Mint Chocolate and Mexican Chocolate varieties. They are all so good. First of all just when you open up the tins they come …
Great Value Southern Fried Chicken Patties
The Walmart Great Value Southern Fried Chicken Patties are a real deal for as many chicken patties that I get! For a little under four dollars, I get eight good-sized chicken patties that taste pretty good and are easy to fix. Those are all real attractive qualities and those …

Mr. Dee’s French Fries
Product Description: Bag of frozen crinkle-cut style French fries. I recently found them on sale at one of our local stores for 99 cents but I think they normally sell for about $1.50 per bag.
What I liked about this product: Usually, if I spend so little on fries, I …
Marlboro Virginia Blend Cigarettes
Tough economic times call for drastic measures when buying cigarettes. My usual brand are the rich and smooth Parliment Lights 100’s, but they are up to $45 a carton in the Los Angeles area. I was looking for some filler brands to stretch my cigarette budget, and stumbled upon …
Caribas Cassava Chips
I like most types of chips, from banana chips to plantain chips, corn chips and even potato chips. However, one thing that has caught my attention recently is Cassava chips. I started seeing packs of them being sold as soon as the recession started, since for some reason, bananas …
New York Style - Panetini Garlic Parmesan
New York Style - Panetini Garlic Parmesan is a pretty taste topping to add to my salads, although it also makes for a flavorful snack item. What it is is little pieces of toast that have been baked in an oven and seasoned with garlic and Parmesan flavoring. I …

Product description: Pre-measured macadamia nut cookie dough. There is enough in the package for 12 cookies and is available in more stores’ refrigerated sections for around $2.50.

Butterball Everyday Turkey Bacon (Original)
Even though I’m a little wary of eating too much processed meat these days, one thing I like even more than pork bacon is turkey bacon, and so I was quite eager to try the “Butterball Everyday Turkey Bacon” even though it was the first time that we were …
Grace Sliced Chicken Bologna
The company “Grace Foods” has been a trusted Jamaican company for a very long time, and one of their products that I like is the Grace Chicken Bologna. I used to take this particular brand of bologna for granted some years ago, until very recently we couldn’t afford to …
Torani Cherry Syrup
My boyfriend’s favorite soda is cherry, which is not a very common soda. I decided to get him a soda maker along with this Torani cherry flavored syrup for Christmas, and we both really love this syrup.
The syrup has a really good, strong cherry flavor to it without being …

In January of 2005, I had the opportunity to go to Europe where I first discovered Pepsi Max. This delicious, zero calorie drink has 69 mg of caffeine in every 12 oz can. That is about twice the caffeine of regular Pepsi. It has …
L’oven Fresh Chocolate Chip Brownies
Packaged brownies will never, ever taste as moist or as fresh as freshly baked brownies at home. That being said, these pre-made brownies aren’t bad, but they aren’t as moist and soft as I would have liked them to be. They get softer if I warm them up in …
Red Dog 10 chili frankfurters sausage
I’ve bought this sausage on special one time when I saw it on sale from Tesco Supermarket. One thing really that catches out my attention was that it was a chili sausage and since I love chili food I decided to get it. I right away cooked …
Chef’s Cupboard Family Size Chicken Noodle Soup

Fail Safe movie
I am not usually very crazy about some of those older thriller and suspense movies from back in the sixties, but once or twice one or two might catch my eye, and one of those that did is the movie “fail Safe.” After watching it I can honestly say …
Weight Watchers Smart Ones Pasta with Ricotta and Spinach
I have started with my Weight Watchers diet a few days ago and I am quite happy with it. I did not want to pay for membership but I figured maybe I can do it myself by buying their products and having a little knowledge about the Weight Watchers point …
Doritos Nacho Cheese Flavored Tortilla Chips 16 oz (1lb)
Doritos Nacho Cheese is really one of the best tortilla chips in the world. I think I won’t get tired of eating this. The size of the tortilla chips are just right. Its triangle shaped chips are thin and so filled with cheese and some other spices. It’s not …
Sam’s Choice Belgian Dark Chocolate
Sam’s Choice Belgian Dark Chocolate, sold at WalMart, comes neatly packaged in a silvery colored box, which makes it look finer than just a regular chocolate bar. It is made with 70% of cocoa, according to the box. The bar itself is rather thin, divided into large (approximately 1 …

Burger King’s Big Fish Sandwich
As a special promotion, Burger King is offering the BK Big Fish sandwich at a price of two for $3.00. Since I never eaten one before, I thought that this would be a great deal. Boy was I wrong by a long shot.

Tropicana Twister Melon Jasmine Juice Drink
Ever since I got pregnant, I have been thirsty a lot. Since I can’t drink sodas, I am forced to drink only water and juices to keep my pregnancy weight in line. I recently went to the supermarket and saw this new juice drink from Tropicana. I grabbed one …
Mango Sorbet
Mango is one of my favorite flavors and I even love the fake mango flavor used in candy that doesn’t usually taste anything like the real fruit. New Zealand Ice Cream is kind of hit or miss with me, while some of their flavors are worth the inflated price …
Okuya Japanese Fast food in Greenhills, San Juan
I really love Japanese foods. Even at home, we eat and cook food in Japanese way. But when it comes to Japanese fast foods, I have a lot in my mind but I would prefer Okuya because Okuya is quite cheaper than other Japanese fast food chains. Japanese restaurants …
Tostino’s Pizza Rolls
I love Tostino’s Pizza Rolls and I don’t know anyone that doesn’t enjoy eating them. I usually pay around 3.00 for a box of Tostino’s rolls but the price can vary depending on the store. The price is somewhat higher than other similar products but they are …

As they become more conscious of their figure especially women, they tend to be picky on what they …
Grandi Chocolate banana
I went to Getro discount about 3 weeks ago and I bought a bunch of cheap Grandi products. Grandi is a cheap, but really cheap brand, that you can find only at Getro. Usually their stuff aren’t good but some of them are so I decided to check them …
Pauls Fish and Chip Shop in Kempston
You can always tell when a Fish and Chip shop is good, because in the evening it’s busy. I have to admit that Pauls Fish and Chip shop is the best place that I have had a good chippy.
As with most chip shops you can get your chips, sausages, …
Jacobs Ice Coffee (instant)
I am lover of instant coffee. To be more precise, I like it strong, sweet - and preferably cool. And yet, I am not a great fan of iced coffee… with the exception of one single brand: Jacobs Ice Coffee.
I have noticed there are two “ice coffee” produced by Jacobs. …
Nissin Chow Mein (Chicken flavour)
Nissin’s Chow Mein is just like those ramen noodles you get in the small packages but this one comes in a square shaped container which is about 6 inches long all around. The reason for this is so you can microwave it. This is supposed to be a quick …

This brand new, fat free, gluten free, vitamin C packed, 100% natural flavored snack is great if you like the fruity goodness of other Jelly Belly …
Magnolia Ice Cream
I don’t know why but for some reason, Magnolia Ice Cream is not as delicious as before. They have developed new flavors and varieties but to compare it with the flavors a decade ago , I can say that ten years ago, the ice cream tasted much better even …
Wienerschnitzel Mini Corn Dogs 4 Pak
So recently I went out to get the Wienerschnitzel Mini Corn Dogs 4 Pak. I gotta say these Mini Corn Dogs are pretty cool. They are very tiny and look cute. But they taste even better. I really liked the look and shape of these little things. They are …
Homemade Hot Chocolate

Bounty candy bar
I grew to like Bounty chocolate bars during my visits to Europe. It is a British product, somewhat like Mounds: coconut-filled bars covered with chocolate. The packaging is different though, Bounty is usually sold as a snickers-sized bar, with two separate, smaller bars inside. Bounty is available with milk …
Clover Valley Worcestershire Sauce 10 ounce
I am on a tight budget so I often find myself at the local Dollar General among other discount stores in order to meet my needs. One of the sections of the stores that I always check is the grocery isle to see if they have any deals or …
Butterfinger Candy Bar by Nestle
I am a chocolate addict but there is one chocolate that I simply could not enjoy. This is Nestle’s Butterfinger Candy Bar. It is does not have the creaminess and lusciousness of my favorite chocolate bars. I hate the flaky orange colored center which is so messy on my …
Sara Lee Soft and Smooth Whole Grain White Bread
Of all the white breads I’ve had in the past year or so, Sara Lee Soft and Smooth Whole Grain White Bread is probably my favorite. That said, I really haven’t had a white bread that I truly love in a while. Rainbo used to be my favorite, …
