I decided I wanted a Sprite today, but the row I was in at the grocery didn’t have Sprite, they had the new and improved Sierra Mist. I figured why not try it, especially when I am someone who enjoys healthy alternatives to things and since the bottle says …

Walmart’s brand, Great Value, makes many generic alternatives in almost any category. Last week I purchased a powdered drink mix made by (or distributed by) Walmart, made to be similar to name brand “Crystal Light.” It is sugar free, sweetened with aspartame, and has five calories per serving.
I wasn’t …

I started eating Rice a Roni a few years ago while I was in college. I recently found the whole grain version at the store and purchased a box. The whole grain version is really great tasting, and makes a nice side item with any meal. I have been …

Milka Collage is a new Milka chocolate bar, it comes in taste of raspberry and in the taste of caramel. Although I really like raspberries I must admit that the caramel version of this chocolate is way better. It tastes amazing. It is crunchy, it is chocolaty and the …

Alexia Crunchy Snacks - Waffle Fries Hot Pepper is a flavor variety that I never really cared for and thus never purchased again. I do enjoy spicy chips and flavors, but I personally did not think that these waffle fries offered a very hot or spicy or strong flavor. …

Boxed lettuce mix is a convenience item for me because I can get a blend of lettuces without the hassle of washing and chopping all that lettuce. I usually just buy my boxed salad at WholeFoods along with the majority of my produce, but they were out of the …

The Café Steamers sounds like a nice concept —“ the steam of the sauce warms up food components above. Some of the varieties sounded very appealing and I wanted to try every one of them. I started with the Cajun Style Chicken & Shrimp. You get …

Stouffer’s Deluxe French Bread Pizza is, unfortunately, quite bland in flavor and turned out to be an overall disappointment. The reason I found it to be bland is because neither the pepperoni nor the sausage delivered on the flavors that I have come to enjoy. Compared with the sausage …

Cheezels are a snack that myself and my family have been enjoying for many years now. I’ve been eating these chips since I was very young and since then, Cheezels have thankfully kept their incredible taste and great flavour that we all love so much. They still …

I was digging through my cupboard the other day and came across a can of Armour Vienna sausages. I don’t remember buying these so I can only assume it was something my parents brought over for us (they have a habit of buying things then not using them). But, …

Kroger Cocoa Crispy Rice is a tasty cereal that I feel is just as good as Kellogg’s Cocoa Krispies and if you are a regular purchaser of the Kellogg’s variety, I recommend that you give the Kroger brand a try if you have one near you. Also, because it …

I always have a chocolate drink within a day. Sometimes, I prefer chocolate drinks over coffee because some coffee have bad after effect on me. There are some coffees that makes me awake all night and would sometimes cause my muscles to move involuntarily. I grew up drinking chocolate …

I did not care too much for this cereal. I did not find the maple syrup flavor to be all that rich or delicious. It certainly did exist, but the taste was not as great as I had hoped it would be. Frankly, I would prefer to eat an …

This must be one of the best-known products in the marketplace. Along with —˜Corn Flakes’, Mars Bars and Baked Beans, Heinz Tomato Ketchup is an iconic brand. It has been around for so long, I couldn’t say when it first appeared on the shelves of shops in the UK, …

This stuff tastes really bad. I bought some right before class the other day and what appealed to me was what I read on the outside of the package. It said that there were clusters of cashews (which is my favorite kind of nut) pecans, and peanuts all put …

If you have ever had the Roasted Vegetable Ritz Crackers from Nabisco, well then, you already know what these crackers taste like because they are pretty much the exact same thing in terms of taste, size and shape, only sold under a brand that’s not carried in regular supermarkets, …

Nabisco Oreo Cookies are a tradition. They are awesome cookies for child and adult alike, but when you’re young, these treats are tops. These chocolate sandwich cookies filled with a creamy icing center are pure temptation. Okay, I’m an adult, and I still eat them as …

Although Entenmann’s Eclairs are not nearly as good as say the eclairs that are sold fresh in the bakeries, I find them to be relatively decent enough to have perhaps once or twice a year. The flavor is by no means so intense that your taste buds will go …

What I like about this variety of bagged salad is that they mix romaine, iceberg and cabbage together and that gives this salad a couple different flavors and textures. Iceberg lettuce is my absolute favorite, and the iceberg lettuce that I get out of this bagged salad is consistently …

When I was a weight-obsessed teenager, I would often have an Options hot chocolate drink, taking a couple to work to have instead of coffee. I can see why because they are only 33 calories per drink which is nothing. The Options instant hot chocolate drinks are …

I tried the Knorr 30 Minute Marinades Yesterday.
I have a package of four flavours but the first one I tried was the Sesame Ginger with Mandarin Orange Juice and I was quite impressed.
I know that typically the longer you marinade a cheaper cut of beef, the more tender and …

Sold exclusively in ALDI stores, this dry cider is a surprisingly pleasant alternative to more expensive brand name competitors out on the market.

Whenever I shop for pot pies, I try to balance quality with price. I want something that is filling and tastes great. But, I also hate spending more than a $1 each on them.
That’s why I ended up purchasing Swanson Turkey pot pies the other day. They looked like …
