Tesco Value Golden Vegetable Savoury Rice
This Golden Vegetable Savoury Rice is from Tesco’s bargain ‘Value’ range which I have been sampling a lot of lately. This was a very low price at only 28 pence for a sachet and I would use one sachet as a side dish to two, or possibly three …
O’Lacy Coffee Pads
Since I am using coffee press machine, I have to buy coffee pads for it. But there are some coffee pads brand that charge quite expensive for their products. And since I think there is not big difference on the taste pf the coffee itself, I always try to …
Krusteaz Blueberry Complete Pancake Mix
Krusteaz Blueberry Complete Pancake Mix is great! I am not a fan of restaurant pancakes and have always made them from scratch so they always end up being a week-end treat. With Krusteaz Blueberry Complete Pancake Mix I can make them quick and easy …
Pillsbury Pumpkin Shape Cookies
The Pillsbury Pumpkin Shape Cookies are kept in a refrigerated section in grocery stores and must be refrigerated at home. When ready to be baked, the cookies are already separated, so it’s just a matter of placing them on a baking pan and sticking them in the oven. There …
Original Peppermint Bark Candy from Hallmark Confections
Nothing says “the holidays” like family and friends gathered together, snacking on sweets. My mother created plates of fudge, Frango mints, caramel cookies, sprits, Russian teacakes and more in the past. Then she was introduced to Hallmark Confections and its Original Peppermint Bark. So, along with making her delicious …
Rainbo Hot Dog Enriched Buns
The best hot dog buns I’ve had are Rainbo Hot Dog Enriched Buns. Consistently, they’ve been a light but reliable bread that has enhanced any hot dog I’ve eaten. They’re rarely overbaked and have the taste that I prefer. Rainbo Hot Dog Enriched Buns are guaranteed …
Tropicana 100% Pure Orange Juice with Calcium & Vitamin D
I have always preferred to drink orange juice over milk although I understand the importance of drinking milk. Because my mother who is a nurse constantly reminds me I should increase the amount of Calcium in my diet, I decided to try this product. Although …
I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter, Butter Substitute
I love butter on everything I eat. I bake with butter and use it to top every type of bread. I like to use butter to saute and even fry on occasion. Although I love butter and think it absolutely makes every meal delicious, I was trying to cut …
Bake and Churn (Robinsons Metro East)
This is not actually a restaurant, it is just a small stall or cart but their products are surprisingly delicious. So what I’m going to review now is their ice cream cakes that I love. (And it will be also your must add this to your “must try” list.)
Bake …
Chili’s Mango Tea
This is by far the best tasting tea I have ever come across. It is a cross between something light and tropical and a Southern, sugary delight. I find myself going to Chili’s just so I can order their Mango Tea! I have not been able to find it …
McCormick Pure Mint Extract
Hi there! Today I decided to share something that, in my opinion, all mint-lovers should have at home. One day I really started craving peppermint mocha, even though it’s the beginning of August and it’s like 100 degrees outside. But the cravings wouldn’t go away, so I had to come …
Michelina’s Four Cheese Lasagna
This frozen dinner doesn’t even look like traditional lasagna. It’s not in a square or rectangular shape and it doesn’t have meat, either. This is a lasagna dish that’s all about the cheese and noodles. The blending of four cheeses is the highlight of this frozen dinner. There’s ricotta …
Fresh Baked Birthday Cake Shampoo and Body Wash - 13.5oz
You can buy a bottle of this for around six dollars, and it is well worth your money. I cannot express how much I love this product! It is absolutely amazing!
I have had a bottle of this for about a year now, but I use it sparingly, because I …
Kellogg’s Chocolatey Delight Cereal
This cereal is supposed to help people curb their chocolate cravings while eating healthy. I actually like the idea. So I decided to buy a box. There are actually plenty of dark chocolate pieces. Dark chocolate is supposed to be better for people …
De Wafelbakkers Janssen & Meyer: Holland Waffles
De Wafelbakkers Janssen & Meyer: Holland Waffles are definitely different from Eggo waffles and other waffles sold in the grocery store! These waffles are square and large, and heavy too! I would say that I would have to eat two Eggo waffles just to feel as full compared with …
Dollar Tree Gourmet Select Banana Chips
These delectable little chips are scrumptious and sweet! Every chip has a pretty rich and lasting banana flavor and every chip is pleasantly crunchy. The chips are actually dried bananas, but they are crispy, just like regular potato chips. As soon as I open the little bag, a real …
Great Value Ravioli
I wanted to pick up something cheap for lunch today and, after looking around, decided to spend 80 cents on a can of beef ravioli from the brand Great Value.
Since it was a cheaper brand, I wasn’t expecting a whole lot in terms of quality. But, it ended up …
Orbit White Bubblemint Gum
I am reviewing Wrigley’s Orbit White Bubblemint gum. You can now buy this in the “BigePak” which is a circular shaped container. It is less than $3, and you get quite a bit of gum for that price. This particular size would be good to throw in your purse …
Butterball Turkey Breast Roast
Butterball Turkey Breast Roast is one of the best turkeys my family and I have ever eaten. I recently bought a Butterball turkey because they were on sale at my local grocery store for Buy one Get one Free. After removed the little plastic back from the turkey …
Nature’s Path: Flax Plus Red Berry Frozen Waffles
Nature’s Path: Flax Plus Red Berry Frozen Waffles disappointed me quite a bit. The reason I purchased these waffles was because of the raspberry and strawberry flavors. I did not feel that either flavor was represented well and neither did much for me. Oh sure, I could taste some …
Baby Ruth Candy Bar
One chocolate brand which I think is older than I am is Baby Ruth. I grew up seeing my Mom biting this candy bar oftentimes and from her did I learn to like Baby Ruth too. When I see my mother unwrapping a bar, I’d run to her …
Tesco Cauliflower Cheese
One of my most favourite meals is cauliflower cheese, with peas and a baked potato and, although I can make my own cauliflower cheese from scratch, it is a lot of fuss and bother and I frequently buy the Tesco Cauliflower Cheese instead as it is very good. …
Special K raspberry cereal bars
I received a coupon in the mail for a buy one get one free special k product. So I bought a cereal and these cereal bars. Overall they were pretty good, they could have been better though. I liked the chocolate and the cereal part together. I think it …
Campbell Gourmet Bisques Golden Butternut Squash
When it comes to cooking, I like short cuts. Sometimes when I am pinched for time or just want to settle down with something easy and quick with little to no clean up, I tend to buy prepackaged meals, usually soup.
Campbell Gourmet Bisques Golden Butternut Squash is one …
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 …
Best Choice Plain Yogurt
Our family often purchases plain yogurt for use in smoothies or to use as a topper on certain desserts. I recently decided to try a cheaper version of plain yogurt because we are trying very hard to lower our grocery bill. I bought the Best Choice Plain …
Blue DIamond Almonds
Looking for something to nibble while watching t.v., I happen to come across a can of nuts. I do not know who bought it, but it’s on top of our refrigerator so I easily grabbed it.
To my utter surprise, it read: BLUE DIAMOND ALMONDS BOLD (Wasabi & Soy Sauce). …
KRAFT Pizza
I don’t like thin crust pizzaz, so when I saw something called Naturally Rising Pizza at our grocery store, I immediately wanted to check it out. “Naturally Rising” promised good, soft, “bready” crust. It is a KRAFT product, and there were several varieties of it available. The one I …
Hershey’s Kisses Cherry Cordial Crème
I just love the rich cherry smell of these Hershey’s Kisses! As soon as I take a few out of the bag I can smell their sweet scent in the air around me. I love cherries and chocolate covered cherries, but sometimes chocolate covered cherries can be a bit …
Sainsbury’s Basics Baked Beans in Tomato Sauce
Baked beans in tomato sauce are about the most basic of all basics when it comes to British cooking, since we eat far more baked beans than just about any other country in the world. Sainsbury’s budget “Basics” range therefore carries a fairly good selection of similar products, but …
Fusia Mandarin Orange Chicken
Okay, I never thought in a million thousand years that I would ever do a review about a bagged and frozen chinese food product, but this one is the one that broke the mold. My husband and I are true budgeters so we shop at Aldi from time to …
Glutino Gluten Free Cheddar Crackers
These crackers taste as good, if not better, than regular cheddar crackers. That might seem like a bold statement because gluten free foods often don’t taste the same or as great but in this case, it’s the truth.
The box when purchased contains two silver packages of these crackers. The …
Frito Lay Barbeque Sunflower Seeds
Frito Lay hands down makes the best sun flower seeds. Their brand of barbeque flavor is simply amazing. Most sunflower seed companies use mostly a salt flavor for barbeque. Not this brand, of course they use salt as a main ingredient, but the flavor is a sweet barbeque. …
Diet Pepsi
Diet Pepsi is perhaps the worst diet soda on the market. It always tastes flat and looses any carbonation quickly. It tastes like rancid water, not a soft drink.
On the up side, Diet Pepsi has no calories, fat, etc. If you are on a diet or trying to watch …
Tyson Buffalo Chicken Breast Tenderloins
My husband and I bought Tyson Buffalo Chicken Breast Tenderloins for an easy meal to cook up on the weekends. We bought these in the large plastic bags which hold the tenderloins. I love these type of bags because it allows me to only cook the specific …
Tostitos Hint of Lime
The other day I tried this kind of tortilla chip again - I had had them before, but not really paid attention to the taste. They actually taste very good. I had thought lime sounded kind of strange for a chip flavour, but with the saltiness of tortilla chips, …
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 …
Borkum Riff Pipe Tobacco
I tried smoking a pipe when I was younger and didn’t like it. I tried it a bit later when I was a student and carried on for a couple of years. During that time I tried various tobaccos and each had their merits.
The one that I particularly liked …
Gallo Salame
I recall buying Gallo Salame in the past, but it had been many years since I made my most recent purchase. I was in the mood for some good sub sandwiches and decided to purchase this Italian Dry Salame to add to the flavor. This product is …
Blue Bunny Chocolate Raspberry Ice Cream Bar
Well, I can taste the chocolate, but not so much the raspberry in these Blue Bunny Chocolate Raspberry Ice Cream Bars. The chocolate is definitely quite prominent as it is on the outside and on the inside. The outside chocolate is dark chocolate while the chocolate on the inside …
The Vitamin Shoppe Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil
Organic coconut oil should be in the “superfood” group. It has outstanding health benefits and even tastes great. Since my family began eating healthy, we began looking for a good coconut oil. We wanted a quality product that was organic. We also wanted a good …
Mrs. Freshley’s Jumbo Cinnamon Roll
Although I found Mrs. Freshley’s Jumbo Cinnamon Roll to be relatively enjoyable, I see no real reason to purchase these when I can get Pillsbury cinnamon rolls at a better value price and those come out of the oven tasting more delicious than these do coming out of the …
Kraft Singles Cheese
I love Kraft singles cheese and it’s my most favorite brand of cheese. I have been eating this cheese for a very long time and I have really enjoyed it. The price usually changes depending on the store but I purchase a package of Kraft cheese for …
Luigi’s Real Italian Ice Lemon and Strawberry
There are three lemon-flavored and three strawberry-flavored Italian Ice cups that come in a box for two dollars and fifty cents. Thia is a reasonably fair price considering the quality and flavor of the Italian Ice. While neither flavor is particularly super rich, the lemon-flavored cups offer an unmistakable …
Noel Dux Original Crackers
When I first saw the Noel Dux Original Crackers snack one day, the first thing that came to my mind was a particular snack called “Club Social” that used to be popular when I was much younger in the nineties, because the packaging looked similar. However, it was only …
Reggae Jammin Chicken Frankfurters
We ususally buy another brand of chicken frankfurters since the other brand is cheaper, but this month my father decided to buy the Reggae Jammin chicken frankfurters instead. I’m not even sure how much it costs either, but after hearing much praises from my father about how good the …
Nestle Toll House Walnut Chocolate Chip Cookies
I love baking cookies, but there is just one problem: I can’t do it from scratch. I’ve gone through quite a few cookie dough products, and none of them have made me excited to bake like Nestle Toll house walnut chocolate chip cookie dough.
The Nestle Toll House walnut …
Brer Rabbit Blackstrap Molasses
I bought this blackstrap molasses mainly for the health benefits. Blackstrap molasses is a dark and rich sweetener that is made from boiling sugar multiple times. It is known for its vitamin and especially its mineral content. It is high in calcium, potassium, magnesium, iron, and chromium, in addition …
Marshmallow Pickled Head by Frankford Candy Company
I’m always on the look out for new sweet treats to try. We decided to forgo trick or treating for our little one this year and decided simply to buy her candy instead, but we wanted to find something a little bit different, and what I discovered a Marshmallow …
Cracker Jack’D: Intense Mix Buffalo Ranch
I decided to give this snack when seeing that it was from the brand I know for making the best cracker jacks. It was intriguing to me to see a snack mix in the flavor of buffalo ranch. For only $2.99 I grabbed a bag with trying it …
