Mott’s Applesauce Natural (46oz jar)
Although individually wrapped applesauce cups are really convenient, I like purchasing the big jars because they are more environmentally friendly - less waste and reusable jar.

Morrisons Brioche Bread Loaf
I bought this Brioche Loaf without really knowing what Brioche bread was and when I got home and attempted to make cheese sandwiches out of it I really thought I had got it wrong! I did not think it went with the cheese at all and that the …
Cadbury Creamy Vanilla Ice Cream
I’ve always loved the Cadbury brand of chocolate, so when I noticed Cadbury also made ice cream I was curious to see whether or not it was as good as their chocolate products. The Cadbury Ice Cream was labelled as “Creamy Vanilla” which I thought sounded very …
Blue Diamond Unsweetened Almond Breeze

It’s getting so, …

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 …
Del Monte Fruit Chillers Sorbet Glacial Mango
I don’t particularly care for mangos, but oddly enough, I do care for this mango sorbet. I guess it has to do with the sorbet being at a frosty temperature and the texture of the treat being really similar to sherbet and Italian Ice. The flavor of a mango …
McEnnedy The American Way Peanut Butter
I was brought up in a family where there was always a jar of peanut butter in the cupboard and my dad still regularly has peanut butter on toast as part of a nutritious breakfast. I often have it for breakfast too or even for lunch and I …
Dare Bear Paws - Chocolate Chip

Nescafe Cappuccino

Mountain Dew Revolution
This is one of the new 3 flavors from Mountain Dew, you vote on your favorite and then they will keep the one with the most votes. This drink to me tastes like drinking cough medicine. It has a weird after taste. It is nice for a refreshing drink …
Dannon Activia Blueberry Cheesecake Dessert Yogurt

Krasuljci & Krasotice —“ mini rolls with fig and orange
Everyone in my house goes crazy about these mini rolls except me. I like figs, I like orange and I like mini rolls but I don’t think they go good together. I would feel these mini rolls with thick chocolate, or something like that although when I think about …
Mayfield Iced Tea
I’m the type of iced tea lover who’s extremely picky about the teas I drink. When in restaurants, I hate when the waitress refills my iced-tea glass without asking-completely disturbing my perfect tea/sugar ratio. With that being said, I discovered Mayfield’s Iced Tea in the gallon …
Eggo BakeShop Swirlz Strawberry
Remember those ads on tv in the early 90’s for PopTarts? They basically said that PopTarts were a complete breakfast. Of course I never believed it. Well, I wouldn’t rely soley on Eggo BakeShop Swirlz for breakfast to get me through the day. However, it’s excellent as brunch, a …

Mrs. Freshley’s Pink Snowballs
A snowball is a snowball, and that, unfortunately, is the case with Mrs. Freshley’s Pink Snowballs. Do not let the unusual pink color of these snowballs catch your eye - there is nothing different about these snowballs from other snowballs sold in the grocery stores. The pink is nothing …
Nandos Hot Peri-Peri Flavoured Crisps
If you like your crisps with a lot of heat, then you will love these Nandos Hot Peri-Peri flavoured crisps. For me they are a little too hot and I would prefer the spicy flavour of Sensations Sweet Chilli or whatever they are called. But I think …
Good Day Coffee Freeze Mocafrio
I drink coffee. About twice daily or less, not much compared to those coffee lovers. I can only drink them when they’re cold and iced, can’t have them if they’re hot or warm or in between, they must be cold and iced. Okay, enough about my …

It is so funny to actually look …

Safeway Diet Orange flavored soda
Safeway Diet Orange flavored soda sucks to put it lightly! I was really hoping for a better tasting product from this company, because I have had good luck with some of their other brand products. This soda is just plain yuchy! There is really nothing good …
Great Value Vegetable Medley
For just under eighty cents for a fourteen point five ounce can, this mixture of vegetables sold under Walmart’s Great Value brand is worth the money. Although I don’t think the vegetables contained in the can are quite as good and fresh as the vegetables in the frozen bags …

Stouffer’s is known for providing quality meals that are filling, nutrious, and easy to make. For those, like me, who are not cooking experts, this is the best thing that could happen. The star in Stouffer’s line up is their french bread pizza.

Perdue Chicken Breasts
My wife and I recently purchased a box of Perdue chicken breasts because we were looking to stock up our freezer and they were a pretty good deal (11 in a box for under $10). Or, at least a the time we purchased them, they seemed like it.
We made …

It says on the package: “Delicious bread crisps seasoned with onion”. And I have to agree with that statement. “Bake Rolls” is indeed delicious.
