Mrs. Freshley’s Cherry Cheese Danish
I find Mrs. Freshley’s Cherry Cheese Danish to be a delightful treat to have with my breakfast. The reason I find it to be a delightful treat is because of both the cheery and cheese flavors. These two flavors work quite well together. The cherry flavor is rich and …
Campbell’s Chunky Soup
Campbell’s Chunky Soups are great. They are great for many reasons. To start off with they are absolutely delicious! The taste is exceptional over other soups that I have tried. They really put a lot of great ingredients in their soups, there are many big chunky pieces of …
Tecate Beer
I haven’t drank that much Tecate Beer in my life. But the few times that I had the honor of partaking of this fine beer I must say I enjoyed! Now Tecate Beer is a very good tasting Mexican beer. This is a great beer to drink at parties or …

McCormick Brown Gravy Mix
I am just going to come right out and say that making gravy from scratch is not my forte and I envy those who are capable of doing so. Making gravy from scratch is probably one of the simplest skills a cook should have in their arsenal, but whenever I …
Priano Specialty Pasta - Rigatoni
I purchased a sixteen ounce bag of rigatoni under the Priano Specialty Pasta brand for one dollar and twenty-five cents because I was out of pasta and I wasn’t going to be near a Walmart that day. This brand of pasta is carried by ALDI Food Center stores and …
Fit & Active Pumpkin Pie Nonfat Yogurt

Wegman’s Honey Apple Oat Bread

Nature’s Path: Crunchy Maple Sunrise
Nature’s Path: Crunchy Maple Sunrise is a tasty cereal that I love to have dry or in milk. If I have the cereal in milk, I make sure that I add just a little milk at a time because otherwise the cereal becomes soggy before I am even halfway …
Hostess Fruit Pies - French Apple
Just like the apple variety, the french apple pie made by Hostess is truly nothing to get excited about at all. Just as the apple variety boasted a somewhat artificial flavor as well as a dull apple flavor, this french apple variety does exactly the same thing. This is …
Double Stuff Oreos
Remember when you were a kid and would look forward to some Oreo cookies after you ate your vegetables? I still get that same excitement when I’m about to eat Oreos and Double Stuff Oreos makes that feeling even stronger.

Betty Crocker Hamburger Helper

Betty Crocker White Chip Macadamia Cookie Mix
Two words perfectly sum up fall for me: Bake Sale. I am not part of part of the PTA at my son’s school, but I do like to donate baked goods and other things they may need throughout the year. This baking session was one of the few I was …
Teddy Grahams Cinnamon
These Teddy Grahams aren’t as tasty as the chocolate or chocolate chip flavors, but they’re better than the honey flavored Teddy Grahams. These Teddy Grahams have a cinnamon flavor to them that is pretty pleasant to taste, and also to the smell. There’s a week aroma of cinnamon that …
Anchor Butter
My favourite brand of butter is Anchor butter as I am yet to taste another brand of butter that can even come close to competing with it. I first tasted it when I would go to my grandmother’s house when I was very little and she would make breakfast …

Lulu B Cocktails Cran Cosmo

Michelina’s Swedish Meatballs
For some reason, I gambled on buying Michelina’s Swedish Meatballs the other day. The price is right for Michelina’s frozen foods, even though they are Weight Watchers, which I know I don’t like. The thing is that I had one really good one of these and so …
MaraNatha Almond Butter
I love Almond Butter. It is a special treat that hits the spot and kills sugar cravings for me. There is one problem and that is the price. I generally see prices range from $5.99 to $13.99 for a 12oz (340g) container. I purchased MaraNatha Almond butter partly …

Charles Peanut Gems
Another guilty pleasure of mine is buying “Charles Peanut Gems” whenever I can find them. These are chocolate covered peanuts that have a candy coating. In a sense they remind me of a cheaper, more Caribbean brand of M&Ms since it have blue, yellow, green brown and red chocolate …
Haggen Lemon Poppy Seed Muffin
I love muffins and I’m pleased to see the trend toward overly large, too sweet muffins seems to be coming to a close. Muffins are supposed to be a bread, not a cupcake.
Haggen Foods here in Bellingham seems to be correcting its previous tendency of cakeness and I am …
Scoopy’s 10 Waffle Bowls
Scoopy’s 10 Waffle Bowls is a product that was actually given to me by my sister. She’d purchased them for a party, but had a package left over, so she gave it to me. I haven’t bought these myself, though I do regularly buy Scoopy’s ice cream …

As a family of five on a limited budget, we have a hard time finding something to drink that is affordable. We always try to find soda on sale but our oldest daughter does not like very many types of sodas and the ones she does are hardly …
Tim Horton’s Boston Cream Donut
This is one of my absolute favorite treats! At less than ninety cents per donut, it is also a very cheap snack. I love that I don’t have to feel guilty about the fact that it’s a bad treat AND expensive, because what’s ninety cents?
I get a Tim Horton’s …
Sundae Shoppe Lemon Watermelon Italian Ice

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 …
Lambertz Exquisit Biscuits, Balena
I hate to get biscuit assortments because the packs have few biscuits in and all around is just plastic. So people think that it is nicer to but a box of biscuit assortments than simply biscuits. and we always get plastic and few biscuits in. I prefer to get …
Safeway Rotini Pasta
We recently tried this Safeway brand of Rainbow Rotini pasta, and found that it tastes really good for boxed noodles. If you like Rainbow Rotini macaroni noodles, you really should give this brand a chance. I enjoy it with any kind of pasta sauce. The noodles …
Hostess Limited Edition Pumpkin Spice Cupcakes
Hostess is one of the most familiar brand names in America. I imagine you would have a hard time finding someone that didn’t know what a Twinkie was. Considering the popularity of the brand, I’m really surprised that Hostess hadn’t taken advantage of the pumpkin craze that never fails …

Moms …

Clorets Chewing Gum
There are many different “fresh breath” gums out there but by far I think the most effective bad breath fighter is the little green chicklet sized gum squares made by the Cadbury-Adams company called “Clorets”. This gum has an ingredient called Actizol that is supposed to be very …
Annie’s Homegrown Shells and White Cheddar
I love the cheesy shell side dishes from Knorr, but lately, I have not been able to eat them because of all the preservatives and unnatural ingredients in them because of the allergic reactions I have been having after eating them. I was really bummed without this side dish, …
