Allens Refried Beans
Allens Refried Beans is a product that I’ve come to enjoy whenever the occasion calls for it. In the past I’ve used other brands, and have had good and bad results. But not with the brand allens. They deliver quality products that tastes homemade.

Twistos Baked Snack Bites Parmesan Garlic Flavor
In a previous review, I highly praised the asiago-flavored Twistos Baked Snack Bites. I felt the snack bites excelled when it came to both flavor and texture. Naturally then, I was excited to try the other flavors, in the hopes that they would be just as delightfully good. I …
Thinkfruit Dried Fruit Cinnamon Apple Snacks
I do not know why these dried fruit apple snacks taste so bad —“ but, they do. The manufacturer says they use granny smith apples —“ which may be the problem because granny smith apples tend to be a little more tart than other apples. In any …
Cape Cod Potato Chips
What can I say about chips. There are so many brands and flavors to choose from on the store shelves today. Everybody’s tastebuds are different. I personally go for spicy chips. Well my daughter spends more time in the snack isle, than I do. She always brings me …

Smuckers Strawberry Preserves
Well, it’s time for a classic. I’ve been going on a binge here lately buying local to me (Southeast Texas) or independent brands particularly in the jam/jelly/honey butter department, I thought it was time for a change. Along with my usual essential provisions at the grocery store, (Bacon, beer, …
Rockstar energy drink
All you energy drink fans, I just tried a rockstar energy drink for the first time not to long ago. At first it tasted gross, I mean I could barely drink it and I usually like energy drinks but rockstar just tasted different for some reason. So, …
Kellogg’s Frosted Mini-Wheats Strawberry Delight
I did not like this cereal at all because it is just way too sweet and the strawberry flavor is so incredibly artificial that it is terrible! The strawberry flavor is really nothing at all like the taste that a real strawberry has. I was very disappointed by this …
Jelly Belly Jellybeans
Of course I’ve heard of Jelly Belly jellybeans, back in the day I won a competition on their website and applied for (and received) numerous samples of their sweets. The thing is I hardly ever got to try them as my two older girls’ would invariably get to them …
Alpro soya milk
You don’t have to be a vegan to enjoy Alpro soya milk. It can be enjoyed by anyone. It tastes really nice, nicer than cows milk in my opinion. I have only tried the sweetened version, which is great on cereal. If you want to avoid …
Mott’s Applesauce Natural (46oz jar)
Although individually wrapped applesauce cups are really convenient, I like purchasing the big jars because they are more environmentally friendly - less waste and reusable jar.

Presto peanut butter is my favorite biscuit, if not skyflakes fit or Ritz. Presto is a local biscuit and snacks brand that has been around for quite some time already. I can even still remember when I was in school that my mom used to buy some of its …
Becel pro-activ strawberry milk mini drink
When my sister brought a pack of becel pro-activ strawberry home I was quite excited, the fact is that I adore discount and she got them for half of the usual price. I must say that I have never tasted not ever seen this product before in my life …
Buddig Mesquite Turkey Deli Meat

Quaker Rice Cakes
I decided recently that I wanted to lose a little weight; ok I needed to lose a lot of weight. The problem with this is I hate to be hungry. Not that I had any plans on starving myself. I did know that I would have to cut down …

Echo Mint Chocolate Bars

Brioche Pasquier Pains Au Chocolat

Molinaro’s Frozen Pizza
We purchased a double pak of party sized Molinaro’s pepperoni pizza today for dinner for a small group and thought it was a great deal at only $10 for 2 big rectangular pizzas.
They take 6-8 minutes in a 425 degree oven and are cooked frozen.
Normally, a frozen pizza half …
Knorr Italian Sides Scampi
This is a delicious Italian Side from Knorr! It’s got this very rich sauce that has a great triple flavor to it: the sauce has a mixture of lemon, garlic and butter! Each of the three flavors really stand out and complement one another pretty well. The garlic seasoning …
Activia
If you watch television, you have seen the commercials about Activia. Bloated, uncomfortable, not so regular? If you answer yes then Activia is for you? Okay so I answered yes, and decided I would give it a try. (The buy one get one free coupon …
McDonald’s Hamburger with Cheeses
OK how lame is this, McDonald’s has a dollar menu for what seems like forever with the star item being the “double cheeseburger” so when they decide to raise prices they make a play on words. Ok I get that our economy is in the whole right now and …
Jack Daniels Original No 7 Recipe Barbecue Sauce

Coca-Cola Vanilla
Coca-Cola Vanilla is a flavored carbonated beverage made by Coca-Cola. It tastes like regular Coca-Cola with vanilla flavoring added. This product is very good! The vanilla adds a hint of extra sweetness to soften the slight bitterness of the cola flavor and at the same time …
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 …
Carvel Ice Cream Cakes
I am getting on in years (almost 35) but I still reflect on the days when as children going to a Birthday was special because you knew that there would be a cake, games and other amazing goodies. Sometime in the 80’s the commercial for Fudgey the Whale ice …
Tyson Anytizers Honey BBQ Wings
I had planned a big dinner and wanted some wings to go with it. I saw these in the freezer case and decided to give them a try. You never really expect frozen food to taste as good as restaurant food so I bought a little extra BBQ to …
Gorton’s Fish Sticks
I normally like Gorton’s Seafood products, which is why I take advantage of the coupons I have in my one Gorton’s Seafood calendar. However, I recently tried their fish sticks and have to say I was a bit disappointed with them.
There are some things I like about this brand. …
Aunt Jemima Ham Egg and Cheese on Griddlecake
Aunt Jemima Ham Egg and Cheese on Griddlecake is something I wanted to try because I like breakfast ham and I also like the griddlecakes that Aunt Jemima has come up with and modeled after the delicious McDonald’s McGriddles. However, upon trying my first ham, egg and cheese griddlecake, …
Donuts from Save More Supermarket
We have come to patronize Save More Supermarket not only because it is nearest our place, but also because its operating hours is from 7 a.m. up to 9 a.m. Every Wednesday at 7.a.m. my family shops there, taking advantage of the almost deserted grocery. Although this grocery is …
McDoanld’s Double Cheese Burger

Orbit blueberry sugarfree chewing gum
I really like blueberries so when I saw that Orbit has made a new chewing gum with the taste of blueberry I just had to try it. But was a great disappointment.
This chewingum comes in regular Orbit packing of 10 chewingums. The Packing is purple with dark blue letters …
Sierra Mist Free Softdrink
Generally, I do not enjoy most diet soft drinks. I dislike the aftertaste and it just reminds me that diets are all about denial, meaning that these products are created for the express purpose of disallowing me pleasure.
With the idea of doing things to improve my health, I reluctantly …
Marvel Superhero Candy Sticks
During the Halloween time of the year, some stores sell Marvel Comic Superhero candy sticks. They are small sticks of candy that come in small boxes (two to a box and 60 boxes in a bag) with different superheros on them. It seems like the majority of …
Metaxa - Greece’s brandy
When you’ve returned from foreign holidays, it’s strange how things that tasted really great wherever you were, now taste terrible. I have been to many countries and found this to be the case. I don’t know what the reason for things seeming to be good when you’re elsewhere and …
Farley’s Rusks
Farley’s Rusks are made by those food giants Heinz and are something that just about every new mother buys for her new baby once they reach the weaning stage.

Hershey’s Drops
I just discovered Hershey’s Milk Chocolate Drops at my local grocery store, Safeway. They are labeled on the package as new items by hershey and I have not seem them at many other stores. They are pretty much just drops of chocolate. The best way to describe …
Stouffer’s Grandma’s Chicken and Vegetable Rice Bake
Stouffer’s Grandma’s Chicken and Vegetable Rice Bake is okay, although I have had superior combinations in the past. The grilled chicken is quite good, although that did not surprise me since Stouffer’s typically makes pretty tasty grilled chicken. It had a good flavor to it and was tender, too. …
Squeezed for you Calamansi Extract
The last time I commented on the same kind of product but of different brand, I had to be really mean because I have nothing good to say about the product except that it was cheap. Well, computing and thinking about it, this product is also cheap because it …
Breyers Chocolate Chip
Breyers Chocolate Chip is one that I found to be disappointing. The reason I found it to be disappointing is because there really was not a whole lot of chocolate chips decorating the vanilla ice cream. I was hoping that the ice cream would be loaded with rich chocolate …
Reasor’s Grocery Stores
I love Reasor’s stores. The kids they hire are friendly and more outgoing than the usual places. They are all dressed in their whites and jeans. However, the prices of everything in those stores are so high. For example, Totino’s pizzas are about 50 cents more than Wal Mart. …
Baileys Original Irish Cream
My dear old grandmother used to always buy a bottle of this at Christmas and us kids would be allowed a glass to sip while we were watching Christmas television shows, so this drink really takes me back to that and it always reminds me of Christmas. Nevertheless, …
Jell-o No Bake Desserts - Cherry Cheesecake
Although this Jell-o No Bake Desserts - Cherry Cheesecake is not nearly as good as a cheesecake that is baked fresh or purchased already made from the grocery store, for the price that this item is sold at Super Wal*Mart, it is actually a decent deal. The cherry cheesecake, …
Post Honey Bunches Of Oats
Post honey bunches of oats cereal is a great cereal that is reasonably priced. I like the flavor of this cereal very much. It has a slightly sweet taste to it but is not overwhelming with the sugar. The Post honey bunches of oats cereal stays …
