Millville Sugar Frosted Wheat Puffs
This is a great cereal at a cheap price. It’s a generic brand that’s only sold at Aldi’s stores, and you can usually buy an 18 ounce box for slightly less than $2. The cereal is very similar to Sugar Smacks/Honey Smacks. This is one of …
Pound Cake
I recently just bought a pound cake at the grocery store for a dollar. It was kind of small but still worth it just for a dollar. That’s cheap compared to a lot of foods now a days. I really liked this cake. I thought I wouldn’t because it …
An Excellent Granola
Like Granola? Have you tasted the Quaker 100% Natural Granola, that cames with Oats, honey and Raisins? It’s delicious! I like granola, specially that ones with nuts. But when I tasted the Quaker 100% Natural Granola, I liked very, very much. It is very well balanced, so that you …
Dr. Oetker Vitalis Crispy Cereal
From all Vitalis cereals these are my favourite ones. I eat them in the morning, because lately I eat only cereals in the morning and I feel much better when I eat less. Specially now because it is summer and it is so incredibly hot so when you eat …
Polland Fresh Chinese Lumpia
I am so full right now! I ate one (1) Polland Fresh Lumpia. I went down at the bus station near the Trinoma Mall here in Quezon City Manila, and they are the first to have the Polland branch in a mall that offers fresh lumpia. The price is …
Cinnamon Toast Crunch breakfast cereal
I usually don’t like sweet cereals, but I love Cinnamon Toast Crunch. I bought it because it was on sale, and because my teenage granddaughter likes it. She visits pretty regularly, especially in the summer when school is out. Besides, it’s from General Mills, a company …
Glaceu’s Vitamin Water
Lately I have gotten pretty addicted to Glaceau’s vitamin water. There are a variety of different flavors of water that all have different mixes of vitamins in them. The waters themselves taste like Kool-Aid; they’re sweet and have a light flavor to them without being overpowering.
I really feel like …
Red Apple Slice
Slice is a soft drink brand here and they recently released a new flavour called Red Apple. I was a bit intrigued when I saw it on the shelf and decided to pick up a bottle to try it. Hoping it might taste like a nice Apple Flavoured Wine …
Argentina Beef Loaf
Argentina Beef Loaf is included among the most famous variety of canned goods from Argentina. Since the famous corned beef was well received in the market, this food brand started manufacturing different canned foods. Beef loaf is similar to luncheon meat however it differs on the kind of ingredients it …
Pringles Potato Crisps - Bacon Ranch
This is a flavor that takes a little getting used to, believe me! Bacon and ranch is an interesting combination of flavors, to say the very least! Now, I would say that the zesty ranch taste sort of overrides the bacon flavor, but both flavors are clearly present and you …
Sugar Free Crystal Light Frozen Pops- Lemondade and Raspberry Lemonade
Since I liked their other variety of popsicle, I decided to try Crystal Light Lemonade and Raspberry lemonade flavor. The other product was a pink lemonade and cherry/pomegranate flavored duo, which I liked very much. This pair was of the same quality. I did not care for the regular …
Al mawakeb nuts Chakly
I have first tasted Al mawakeb nuts–Mixture. I really impressed with that mixture as it is fresh and spicy. That is why this time I have purchased Chakly from the same company Al mawakeb nuts. I liked their taste also. Chakly are coil shaped spicy snacks with crispy and …
Gelatelli Strawberry ice cream
In my family cheap ice creams aren’t very popular. My parents and my sister would rather buy a very expensive ice cream just once a week than several cheaper ice creams so that they could eat ice cream every day in the week. I am not like that …
Hormel Compleats: Chicken Marinara
Hormel Compleats continue to bring out new varieties that lure me to try them. The more success I have, the more I am willing to try something new with them. The latest one I decided to taste was their Chicken Marinara.
What I enjoy about Hormel Compleats is …
Wye River Eastern Shore Style Oyster Stew Soup
Once more, it’s time for another trip to the old figurative lunch pail for a lighter liquid lunch alternative. This time on the docket is Wye River Eastern Shore Style Oyster Stew. Hmm another seafood soup; in my experience that can be a “risky” proposition. So how does …
Aunt Jemima Buttermilk Waffles
As I’ve often said, I like simplicity in my cooking. To be more specific, I want as little mess as possible and virtually no clean up. This comes from not having a working oven, a stovetop with just one unreliable working burner, and the lack of a …
Bumblebee Tuna in Oil
I am not a fan of fish! I like other seafood though but fish in particular isn’t one of those things my taste buds take kindly to. I was surprised when I tasted Bumblebee’s Tuna in Oil though. My grandmother had made it for me at the time (I …
Brookside Dark Chocolate Acai with Blueberry
Everyone has been raving about the goodness that Acai berries have. People have been saying that Acai berries have greater antioxidants than other fruits. It is difficult to find Acai berries here in the Philippines so when there was an opportunity for my aunt to send us a huge …
Munchies Traditional Mix
Munchies Traditional Mix is a pretty average, run of the mill type of mix that does not really do anything different or special to set it apart from the other snack mixes that can be found in grocery stores and supermarkets. It is actually a mix that is inferior …
Hinano Tahiti Beer
I just love the taste of Hinano Tahiti Beer! I have to admit that I did not enjoy it the first time I was offered one and tried it because the person who gave it to me drinks his beer at room temperature - go figure! So, …
Cheetos
I just love cheese. I love the taste, the smell, the color and the versatility of cheese. One of the cheese products that I truly love is Cheetos. I cannot live without it. If there is one food in the world that I would rather not share, it is …
Nissin’s Spicy Chicken Yakisoba
My current job requires me to be always on the go. The job is so hectic that I often find myself not having a decent meal, or not having a meal at all. I do not have the luxury of time to go the the nearest restaurant, wait …
Little Debbie 100 Calorie Snacks Nutty Bar PB Stix
Little Debbie 100 Calorie Snacks Nutty Bar PB Stix turned out to be quite the disappointment for me. The reason I found them to be disappointing is because the flavor was not what I was expecting. Since this is a low calorie snack food, the snack food itself suffers …
Maruchan Oriental Flavor Ramen Noodle Soup
Ramen noodle soup is not just for starving college kids. My college days are long behind me, but I still enjoy a flavorful bowl of ramen noodle soup. Maruchan is my favorite brand of ramen noodle soup and, until recently, I would …
Prego Italian Sauce Traditional (with recipe)
Firstly, I must say I really love those people who invented such ready-make sauces because it allow people like me who are not gifted in cooking to be able to whip up a decent dish!
Whenever I feel like cooking spaghetti, I will always go to the nearest supermarket and grab …
Franziskaner Weissbier Naturtrub Wheat Beer
Hefeweizens are my absolute favorite type of beers, especially as a light beer, but I typically prefer them on draft as opposed to in a bottle. However, I’m really glad I decided to buy this Franziskaner Weissbier Naturtrub because it has quickly become one of my favorite Hefeweizens.
This wheat …
Burger King French Fries
Between Burger King and McDonalds I always chose the second one. I guess I am bias because McDonalds was for many years the only big chain restaurant in my town where you could eat hamburgers and cheeseburgers. So when Burger King arrived in Trieste I was really eager to try …
Dannon Pure Yogurt Cups
I was at the grocery store with my boyfriend and we were looking for a healthy snack to have on hand when we get hungry and we decided to pick up some of a case of the Dannon Pure Yogurt Cups in the flavors of Strawberry and Blueberry and …
Harris Teeter Honey Flavored Cheese Curls
I gave this new kind of snack a try one day, when my sister urged me to try it. She told me they were the off brand version of Cheetos, which ultimately caused me to laugh. In my experience anything that isn’t the actual original Cheetos are either too …
Starbuck’s Reduced Fat Egg White and Turkey Bacon Breakfast Sandwich
Now as an admitted Starbuck’s fan for 10+ years and also a near-constant dieter, I’m always on the lookout for new low-fat food offerings carried at any Starbucks. Most recently, I tried Starbuck’s Reduced Fat Egg White and Turkey Bacon Breakfast Sandwich. This breakfast option is basically …
Knorr Italian Sides Tomato Parmesan
I didn’t care very much for this Italian Side. The main reason that this Italian Side failed to win me over is because of the tomato sauce. It was pretty bland and thus not satisfying to the taste. The sauce did have some garlic mixed in for seasoning, but …
Kinley mineral water
Now a days we can see many kinds of mineral water in the market. But I only trust and use the Kinley mineral water. The reason because of which I like the Kinley mineral water is, it is internationally recognised and trusted one. The water is …
Sour Patch Kids chewy candies
Sour Patch Kids are sour chewy candies that are coated with sugar. Like they say in the commercials, “First they’re sweet, then they’re sour”.
This is a large 10 oz bag that I bought at walmart. These are also sold at Target, Kroger, Brookshires, & most other grocery stores.
I would say …
Sterzing Vipitieno Vannila Yogurt
As I really like vanilla yogurt I can rarely resist to buy one, specially if on discount. Sterzing Vipitieno Vanilla Yogurt was on a 0.21 Euro which is really a great price. It isn’t easy to find such cheap yogurts these days, specially since the Crisis started and everybody …
Solen GoFresh Extra Milky
I was at one big store few days ago and I wanted to buy something sweet, but if I buy big packs I usually eat all what’s in the pack so I decided to buy several smaller ones. So I bought several smaller packs, I mean it is better …
Naked Protein Zone Juice
I am a BIG fan of Naked juices. They are, by far, the best fruit juices on the market. I drink at least two a day and have tried every kind they have. They are all natural and contain no preservatives and, unlike many of the …
Hamburger Helper Tomato Basil Penne flavor
I am not a great cook so when it comes to deciding what to have for dinner after a long day at work, my favorite thing to do is to stop at a restaurant and bring dinner home in a bag. However, I’ve …
Harris Decaffeinated Green Tea
I love to drink tea, especially green tea, whether it is hot or cold. Green tea has a delicate and subtle bitter taste. As a plus, green tea contains a chockfull of antioxidants for the immune system, so it is very good for your health.
As I am on …
El Charrito Beef and Cheese Mini Tacos
Quick and easy are words that I would use to describe El Charrito Beef and Cheese Mini Tacos. All I need to do is take however many I want out of the package, place them on an oven pan and let them bake for around ten minutes. As a …
Eggo: Chocolate Chip Pancakes
Eggo: Chocolate Chip Pancakes turned out to be rather bland and tasteless according to my taste buds. Although the picture on the box makes it appear that there are chocolate chips aplenty in the pancakes, upon examination of the actual pancakes, one can relatively easily see that there are …
Tyson Chicken Nuggets & Patties
I really like to buy Tyson Chicken nuggets and patties for my family. Of course the nuggets are a favorite with the kids and I love the patties. I like to get Tyson instead of generic or other brands because I try to by the products that are most …
Smuckers Uncrustables
Smuckers Uncrustables are a peanut butter and jelly sandwhich with no crust. I get these in the frozen department of the grocery store. These made great snacks for the kids when on a long trip in the car, or for anytime. My older daughter likes to take her lunch …
Jelly Belly Halloween Gummy Teeth Candy
Jelly Belly Halloween Gummy Teeth Candy is a treat that I mildly enjoyed, although it is quite unlikely that I will purchase it again come next Halloween season. I realize that these treats are supposed to be gummy, but I did not think that they would be gummy to …
Heinz Home-style Gravy
We made mashed potatoes last night and, because we didn’t want to eat them plain, we decided to pick up some gravy to go with them.
The store I went to was a convenience store and they only had one brand to choose from; Heinz Home-style Gravy. So, I ended …
Lucozade Sport Cereal Bar Mixed Berry
This is one of those nutritious snack bars that are formulated to give you extra energy if you are physically exerting yourself doing sport. This Lucozade one is particularly high in carbohydrates and the packet claims it —˜helps you train longer and harder’. I do not train …
Hershey’s Drops
I just discovered Hershey’s Milk Chocolate Drops at my local grocery store, Safeway. They are labeled on the package as new items by hershey and I have not seem them at many other stores. They are pretty much just drops of chocolate. The best way to describe …
Roast beef sandwich from Safeway
Safeway stores has another in its selection of very good sandwiches. The sandwich is roast beef with crumbles of bleu cheese with lettuce and tomatos on focaccio bread. It is delicious. Bleu cheese isn’t a cheese I’d normally expect with roast beast, but it’s delicious.
I had this sandwich recently …
Stouffer’s Salisbury Steak
Stouffer’s Salisbury Steak is decent, although by no means magnificent or delicious. The steak has a fairly good flavor to it, although it is not quite as tender as I would have liked it to be. The onion gravy does help to moisten the steak and make it easier …
Spam 25% Less Sodium
One of the common health concerns is to minimize use of salt. We might not know it but when you use salt in excess of what is needed in the body, it transforms into fat deposits. One of the things canned products are trying to accomplish is a “less …
