Nescafe Irish Cream Flavored Coffee
I am a big fan of coffee…brewed, instant, espresso, cold hot, as long as it is coffee. Nescafe is a good brand of instant coffee. I love their cappuccino flavored coffee. I can say that there’s no much difference between their instant cappuccino and the one …
Lean Pockets Three Cheese and Broccoli
I decided to try Lean Pockets Three Cheese and Broccoli after finding them on sale at my local Kroger for $2. I am normally not a fan of Hot Pockets because I am a vegetarian and there aren’t many flavors that don’t have meat in them. I …
Baker’s Corner Orange Frosting
Baker’s Corner Orange Frosting is one of two special Halloween frostings sold under the Baker’s Corner brand at ALDI Food Market stores. I haven’t come across this frosting in any other store, so it may be an ALDI Food Market exclusive. If you don’t have an ALDI Food Market …
PC Teensy Weensy Blueberry Muffins
These muffins are a hit with my kids. Both my one-year-old and my seven-year-old enjoy them, and I have to admit to sneaking some when they are not around.
I have tried other mini muffins from other stores, specifically the muffins from the Sobey’s supermarket, but they are hard and …
Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes Snack Cakes - Chocolate
I would say that these Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes Snack Cakes - Chocolate are about average in terms of taste, and above-average in creativity. The tree cakes are covered with chocolate fudge and feature white creme frosting serving as the garland and red and green sprinkles while on …
Stouffer’s Vegetable Lasagna
Stouffer’s Vegetable Lasagna is an enjoyable change of pace from the meat and cheese lasagna variety. Now, I like cheese, and I do like meat, but I do not mind having something a little different every now and then. Plus, there is still some cheese to be found on …
Chocolate Philadelphia Cream Cheese
Philadelphia the iconic cream cheese brand has recently launched a chocolate variety in conjunction with Cadbury, to the surprise of many (and horror in some instances!).
I first became aware of this product via an online advert featuring comedienne Jennifer Saunders and the tagline “Choccy Philly? Don’t Be Silly!” …
IHOP Pancakes
I think IHOP Pancakes are pretty good, these things taste pretty good and they are pretty cheap. I went to IHOP for national pancake day and had some while I was there. So I am going to tell you about them. First of all they smell really good and …
Taco Bell Spicy Chicken Soft Taco
I think the Spicy Chicken Soft Taco from taco is pretty good. I don’t think it is the greatest taco that they have but it’s pretty good. The Chicken they use in the taco is pretty good. If you put some hot sauce on it, it will taste just great. …
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 …
Mountain DEW
Do you have a thirst that you just can’t quite seem to quench? Are you a soda drinker? If you answered YES to both questions then I have a beverage for you to try…
Mountain DEW is a soda like no other. It is bright green in color, unmistakably. …
Cotton Patch Cafe - Funnel Cake
Cotton Patch Cafe - Funnel Cake is something that I believe is only available at Texas Cotton Patch locations, although I am not entirely positive. The reason I believe it might be only available at Texas Cotton Patch Cafe locations is because the reason Cotton Patch is offering a …
Eriel’s Special Silvanas
My mom’s officemate sold us a box of Eriel’s Special Silvanas. Eriel’s is a pastry and bakeshop whose most famous product is really their silvanas. The box which had 25 pieces cost P250. Silvanas are pastries made of thick buttercream filling and covered with soft crumbs …
Thorntons Winter Crumble chocolate bar
The Winter Crumble chocolate bar is one of several limited edition bars produced by the British chocolate makers Thorntons for the winter holiday season this year (ie 2009-2010).
It is described on the wrapper as having a ‘winter fruit mousse centre’, and the fruits included are blackcurrants and blackberries. These …
Anchor Fortified full cream milk
I was looking for powdered full cream milk drinks in the market and there are so many brands to choose from. Anchor is one of the leading brands in the market and I can say that it’s a good product taste and nutrition wise. It is also …
Folgers Coffee
To say I am a coffee drinker is an understatement. I was raised in a family of coffee drinkers and have followed right along. But I have found that as I grow older, I have a problem tolerating the acid in most coffees. Folgers Gourmet is one …
Irish Potato
It is amazing that an item this small can make such a terrible stink. I usually purchase Irish Potatos on a Saturday morning while doing my grocery shopping, they are for Mashed Potatoes or Potatos Salad usually on the Sunday for dinner. I often buy enough to last for …
Jack-N-the-Box French Fries
Jack-n-the-box fries are pretty disappointing because I expected them to taste a lot better. Jack-n-the-box has a lot of really great offerings, which is why I stop by the fast food place whenever I get the chance, which isn’t that often. I love a lot of their different foods, …
Fat Tire Beer
I first encountered New Belgium Brewery’s flagship beer, Fat Tire, as the subject of rumor at my college. It wasn’t available in Minnesota at the time, and beer drinkers from other parts of the state would complain often about this fact.
So when I first tasted Fat Tire, …
Marks & Spencer Dark Chocolate Digestive Biscuits
These biscuits are really good! I take out the package from the fridge late at night if I want a midnight snack or early morning snack. I really love the texture of the biscuit itself. They’re crunchy, and have those little bits. I like that they …
Subway’s meatball subs
My brother got me hooked on meatball subs years ago when we went to a deli called Dibella’s. I tried it once, and never looked back. While there aren’t any Dibella’s in my area (either Annapolis or Wichita) I have been able to continue to enjoy meatball …
Triden Layers Gum Green Apple + Golden Pineapple
On a long road trip at a rest stop, I found a vending machine that exclusively dispensed gum. Of course, I had to buy something from it (where else would you see a machine like that?) and chose the Trident Layers Gum with Real Fruit Flavor in Green …
Pillsbury Chocolate Chip Dough - 5lb tub
Okay, I admit it. I’m a cookie dough fiend. Half the fun of using dough to make cookies is eating the dough while you’re laying it out on the cookie sheet to be baked. Just be careful, though — too much dough can really do you …
White Wings Bite Size Cookies & Cream Baby Cakes
My four year old daughter loves to cook and she is especially fond of helping me make cup cakes. We tried White Wings Bite Size Cookies & Cream Babycakes as I thought Babycakes sounded sweet.
You need one egg, 30ml of water and 30 ml of oil to make the …
Nature’s Nectar 100% Juice Mango Tangerine
One-hundred percent fruit juice isn’t always priced at what I consider to be an affordable amount of money. Without sales or coupons, juice that isn’t diluted with water generally runs for over three dollars. It’s for that reason that when I came across the Nature’s Nectar brand of mango …
Excitemint Soft Peppermint Puffs
A ten ounce bag of Excitemint Soft Peppermint Puffs can be found at ALDI Food Market stores for one dollar and forty-nine cents. I was very impressed with this peppermint candy, although I think I would’ve enjoyed the peppermint candy some more if the peppermint candy had been harder, …
Goldilocks Signature Fluffy Mamon (Soft Bread) 65g
Here in our country, Philippines, it is a tradition to have a cake during birthday celebrations. Cake is the symbol if someone celebrating his special day with blowing of candles to start the ceremony. Goldilocks have been known for this kind as it is the cheapest cake with high …
Stouffer’s Lasagna
I just finished eating some yummy Stouffer’s Lasagna . It is the closest to homemade taste that you can get without spending hours in the kitchen . Other than this brand of lasagna , I will only eat a home cooked lasagna . I am very picky and I’m …
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 …
Cliff Energy Bars
Some days I wake up and just don’t have any energy at all and this lasts for hours, so I usually turn to the heavy duty arsenal for energy like Cliff Energy Bars to give my body the boost it needs to get going. Cliff energy bars …
Dibs - Nestle Crunch, 140 Count bag
Back in the day, it was Bon Bons that reigned supreme in the ice cream bites department. Today Bon Bons has competition from Dreyer’s (also known as Edy’s) Dibs. Dibs come in three different varieties at the moment as well as different sizes. The variety I …
Viactiv Calcium Soft Chew
I bought Viactiv Calcium Soft Chew in Chocolate flavor, to be exact, “new improved flavor” which in my opinion does not taste any different. It is still soft and chewy, but as a matter of fact, doesn’t even taste like chocolate at all, tastes more like caramel to be …
Lean Cuisine Shrimp Scampi Dinner
Product Description: Low calorie Shrimp Scampi frozen dinner from Lean Cuisine in a steam fresh bag that you can put right in your microwave oven.
What I liked about this product: One of the reasons why I go through so many frozen dinners in my house is the convenience. We …
Betty Crocker Sugar Cookie mix
I am happy to review Betty Crocker sugar Cookie dry mix. I bought a package for $1.50 at my local wal-mart super center and set out to bake sugar cookies for my family. When I got home, I noticed I needed flour to prepare these as cut outs for the …
Jell-o Instant Pudding - Butterscotch
Jell-o Instant Pudding - Butterscotch is really quite incredible! The butterscotch flavor is very rich and scrumptious, as well as quite authentic, too! The flavor really seizes my taste buds and puts a real smile on my face because it just tastes so good. The pudding is quite creamy …
Chunky Beef & Potato Soup
I actually bought Chunky’s Beef & Potato Soup by accident. They had several varieties on sale and I thought I was picking up a different kind. In fact, when I got it home, I was so disappointed; I ended up putting it toward the back of our pantry.
Today, I …
Heinz Chef Style Garlic Mayonnaise
I got attracted to the label of this product which says egg less. Come to think of it, it was a mayonnaise but I said, wow there is something in this mayonnaise that I would certainly enjoy so I was curious and bought the product of Heinz.
I do use …
Entenmens Softees Powdered Sugar
Entenmens Softees are the perfect breakfast treat. The bag comes with twenty small doughnuts that can be enjoyed as a brekfast food , or later in the day as a delightful snack.
I really like this particular brand of doughnuts. They alway are soft when I open them, and stay …
Michelinas Lean Gourmet Sweet and Sour Chicken
Michelinas Lean Gourmet Sweet and Sour Chicken was another one of their selections that I decided to give a try one day for lunch. I had moderate expectations, since I am no stranger to the brand of Michelinas or the dish of sweet and sour chicken.
On the label …
Mrs. Freshley’s Cookie Dough Bar
I was not too impressed with Mrs. Freshley’s Cookie Dough Bar at all. Actually, I was pretty disappointed, really. The reason I was disappointed is because I found the flavor to be rather bland and dull. While the chocolate chip bites are pretty decent and enjoyable, the cookie dough …
Ferrato’s Meatballs
I recently purchased a bag of Ferrato’s Meatballs the last time I was at our local Save-a-Lot store so I could use them in my spaghetti later in the week.
I used them last night and was pretty impressed with the overall quality.
The meatballs lacked a bit in terms of …
Balconi Mix Max Chocolate Snack Cakes
Dolciaria Balconi is a famous brand of confectionary in Italy and at my local bargain Lidl supermarket I picked up a packet of Balconi Mix Max for a mere 99 pence. I thought this was a bargain because you get ten of these snack bars in a packet …
Doritos Flamas Chips
Doritos are those brand of flavor tortilla chips that are a favorite among many people. There are many different varieties out there that can go almost every occasion. Every blue moon I go and browse the chip selection and see if Doritos has come out with any different flavors …
Bigelow Mint Medley Tea
I love this tea. It reminds me of childhood, when I would visit grandma; she had some mint in her garden, we would pick some mint leaves and add them to our tea… Ah, the aroma, and the fresh minty taste! I wonder why not so many tea brands …
Blue Bunny Yogurt
Blue Bunny, Lite 85, is my favorite yogurt brand.
It’s Fat Free with no sugar, made with Splenda. And although it’s name says Lite 85, it has only a cool 80 calories! For those who aren’t aware, most women are sensitive to aspartame, the usual sweetener used in …
Deerfield Farms Fig Bars
Product Description: Two pound package of fruit filled fig bars available at our local Walgreen’s for $2.
What I liked about this product: The obvious answer to that is going to be the price. I like fig bars but I can’t find a decent-sized package around here for a reasonable …
Tradition Matcha Green Tea Powder
I am a fanatical tea critique (especially of green and white tea) and recently received a 8.8oz bag of Matcha Green Tea powder. It was approximately 20 dollars and is a generous amount. I brewed my first cup properly by letting the boiling water subside then poured into tea …
Pringles Stix Honey Butter
I didn’t care very much for the honey buttered Pringles Stix. First of all, they weren’t too generous with the honey because there wasn’t much honey flavor. There was enough to make the snack slightly sweet, but it wasn’t a rich flavor that led me to crave more. I …
Mom’s Brand Madagascar S’mores Jungle Party Cereal
When shopping for cereal, variety certainly isn’t a problem. Now, making a choice may quite possibly be, because of the sheer number of boxed and bagged cereal, not to mention cereal intended to be served warm which is also known as porridge, available on grocery store shelves. Some cereals …
JAVA CASCADE PRIDE JAVA COFFEE
My son and I really appreciate good tasting coffee! We have tried many kinds, blends, and different coffee shops. This week, my son brought home a different kind for us to try, and we are very pleased with the ease of use, and the rich flavor. He bought it …
