El Monterey’s Shredded Steak & Cheese Chimichanga Supreme
It is quite a shame that the El Monterey’s Shredded Steak & Cheese Chimichanga Supreme frozen burritos are not in the slightest bit spicy because I definitely like the overall flavor of these burritos. What I think I like best about these burritos is seasoned beef. It is not …

Michelina’s Sausage, Egg and Cheese Breakfast Snackers
Michelina’s Sausage, Egg and Cheese Breakfast Snackers certainly had the potential to a quality breakfast food, but unfortunately the Snackers, as they’re called, suffer from poorly flavored and mushy sausage that just isn’t appetizing. I’ve had Michelina’s Gravy and Sausage Breakfast Snackers in the past, and with that breakfast …

Campbell’s Select Harvest Light: Maryland-Style Crab Soup

The label, which shows a …
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 …

Bucky Badger Cheese Puffs

I was sure wrong about that.
These are some of the most …

Meijer House Blend Instant Coffee

Laica chocolate candy Cappuccino
I am not a big fan of chocolate with coffee taste because chocolate has rather strong taste and coffee too so together they don’t go quite well, they kind a clash, although cappuccino doesn’t taste as much like coffee as coffee itself the mixture of it with chocolate is …
Fresh Express Green & Crisp
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 …

I am a big fan of chocolate and everything made of it so when I saw that Nestlè Nesquik Syrup was out I just had to try it, the good thing is that as it was a new product when I bough it was on a special discount for …
Nestle Variety Pack: 30 Count candy bars

Reef Sandals With Bottle Opener
With perhaps the best addition to a sandal since the sole, Reef has now added beer bottle openers to the bottoms of their sandals. I have come to expect high quality from Reef sandals, which feel more like a shoe than a sandle. Typically, sandals start to feel like …

Mrs. Freshley’s Pound Cake

President’s Choice PopCorn
As a big popcorn lover, I have tried many brands of microwave pop corn, from Orville Redenbackers to no-name brands.So far, President’s Choice Trans Fat-Free Butter Flavour Microwave Popping Corn is the best.

Cadbury dairy milk chocolate is certified Fair Trade
Cadbury dairy milk chocolate is now certified Fair Trade. This is such a relief for me, being a chocoholic with ethics can be difficult because many chocolate manufacturers do not guarantee a fair trade for developing world producers. It’s more important now, given recent news reports on …

Sam’s Choice Purified Drinking Water
Most people prefer Dasani or Aquafina water, or another type that is not generic. I, however, enjoy drinking Sam’s Choice Purified Drinking Water. This is the brand that is sold as Wal-mart, and I’d imagine it’s also sold at Sam’s Club. It sells for quite a …

Sobe Life Water
Sobe Life Water is a big joke as far as I’m concerned. I mean, the bottle is pretty, and the advertisements are appealing, but come on! It is an insult to our intelligence to pay that much money for water that tastes like it has some strange …
Balconi Mix Max Chocolate Snack Cakes

Kroger Value Beef Patties
Kroger Value Beef Patties are alright, although I do find them to be a little more fatty than other pre-shaped beef patties that I have purchased before. The beef patties do have a pretty decent flavor to them and when I make hamburgers out of them, I am generally …
