Pillsbury prepackaged Chocolate Chip Coolies
I am definitely a huge chocolate chip cookie lover. Ironically, the only pre-packaged refrigerated cookies that I’d ever bought were Nestle or store bought from Kroger. I decided to pick up Pillsbury cookies because they were on sale. This is one of those brands that …
Columbia Spaghetti
As I mentioned in an earlier review, my wife and I decided to make spaghetti for dinner last night. Much like when it came to the sauce, we were limited on funds and had to rely on what we already had in our pantry to make dinner. And, fortunately, …
Organics Organic Vanilla Soymilk
I’ve been trying to find a perfect plant-based milk for my coffee for the last few months or so, but I couldn’t find the one that would froth well and taste good at the same time.
However, I’ve always known that soymilk frothes well, but it tasted disgusting when I tried …
Taters
Going to the movies is never complete without lemonade and a box of your favorite flavored popcorn. Well, It sure is a good kind of treat along side your arm rest as you munch on your popcorn while watching a good movie. Movie experiences are not the same without …
Pepsi: Blue Drink
The Pepsi drink called “Blue” was a carbonated beverage that was “invented” by the Pepsi company about five years ago. Prior to inventing the soda they had run ads asking the public to vote on which color of carbonated drink that they would buy and the winner was apparently …
Jimmy D’s Pancake Griddles
Product Description: A pack of four sausage griddles from Jimmy D (Jimmy Dean) that I found on sale for around $4 on Saturday. The griddles consist of a turkey sausage patty in between two maple flavored pancakes.
What I liked about this product: My wife and I will occasionally buy …
Elvan Maestro Milk Chocolate Bar
I do not wish to express my dislike to this product again. This is still a food and can be eaten. This chocolate bar has a different flavor: compound chocolate with milk cream. It is more enticing compared to the first one which is Compound Chocolate with Hazelnut. Though …
Baker’s Corner Patriotic Sprinkles
Nearly seven ounces of blue, white and red sprinkles come in just one jar at ALDI for two dollars and ninety-nine cents. These sprinkles are specially made for the Fourth of July holiday. They make a festive addition to cupcakes, frosted cookies and even frosted cakes. The colors are, …
Copa Di Vino
When I first saw Copa Di Vino wine featured on Shark Tank, I was amused. It seemed like a rather good idea to finally make fine wine in small quantities available to the consumer. I remembered having noticed the brand in my neighborhood CVS drug store before seeing it …
Strawberry Crush
Wow, what timing! I really can’t believe it, in fact, but a few days ago I did a review for Welch’s Strawberry Soda, and I mentioned there that the only reason I’d purchased it was because I just couldn’t find Crush anymore. As ironic as it sounds, …
Hostess Fruit Pie - Apple
Sometimes when I’m out I like to buy a Hostess Fruit Pie as a snack. Most of the time I get the Apple one, as I prefer apple pies to cherry. I know they are a bit fatty, but I don’t eat them very often so it’s OK. They …
Rolos
One of my friends always buys these for me whenever they come over. Overall they are pretty good. They are chocolates, with caramel inside of them. Most of the time I don’t like caramel except if it is just a tiny bit of it. I do like these though. …
Orbit Mist
I recently tried the new gum from Orbit called Mist. I love chewing gum. Especially when I am bored. So I have tried almost every gum on the market. I must say that this gum is at the top of …
Tim Tams chocolate cookies
I first discovered Tim Tams from Youtube.com, believe it or not. One of the people I subscribe to is an Australian girl that puts together some very creative and funny videos, even if her topics tend to be very random. She kept talking about something called Tim Tams and …
Flavarite Peanut Ice Cream
I am a big ice cream lover and one of my absolute favourite flavours of ice cream is Peanut. Our local ice cream company is named Flavarite and they create a wonderfully delicious peanut flavoured ice cream.
Flavarite’s Peanut Ice Cream has a light brown colour and the ice cream …
Milky Way Midnight Mini Bars
I was in the office when one co-officemate gave me a bar of Milky Way Midnight Bar. She said it gives her strength and it keeps her awake. Maybe she saw me little sleepy and lonesome on my space that is why she gave me one. Well, I appreciate …
Keebler Club Crackers
These crackers are downright addicting, I tell you! Once I start eating a pack of these flaky and buttery crackers, before I know it, half of the pack is done and gone! Sometimes I think I can feel up on these alone! Another positively terrific thing about these crackers …
Johnny’s French Dip Au Jus Sauce
My husband truly enjoys french dip sandwiches and I often make them for him at home. The keys to a good french dip are very simple. You need good quality meat, a fresh bun and a good dip sauce. The dip sauce is very important because …
Willards Cheese and Onion
I love snacking even though it is not so good on my waistline what will all those salt, fat and empty calories. But these are what make chips so tasty and good to eat they are nearly as sinful as chocolates. Salty snacks are my favorites and when I …
G Series 03: Rehydrate & Rebuild (Gatorade)
G Series 03: Rehydrate & Rebuild is a form of Gatorade that athletes are advised to drink after playing what ever sport they are in. It is supposed to make the athlete physically recover from their previous activity.
Gatorade is telling the truth when they say the G Series 03 …
Bush’s Baked Beans
Now that it’s summer, barbecues are becoming a common thing in our household. But, it’s just not barbecue without baked beans. When I choose the beans to go with the brats, hamburgers and other items I grill, the only brand I want is Bush’s Baked Beans.
Bush’s offers just the …
Spaans Lemon Chiffon Sugar-Free Cookies
Guess what? The Holiday Season 2014 is here! (Yipee.)
Your “level of yip and ee” may vary depending on your level of necessary preparedness for the season. Family, fun, presents and treat temptations galore right? We all know the score. I bring that first part up because, as per …
Tang Juice Powder
I think of all the Tang Juice Powders in the local market, Tang is one of the good brands. What I like about Tang is it is more flavorful and the taste is very close to natural fruit juice. This is perhaps the reason why Tang Juice Powder …
Gatorade Thirst Quencher: Watermelon Strawberry
I gave a different flavor of Gatorade Thirst Quencher a try, called Strawberry Watermelon. I have to say after a few other choice flavors this is probably has to be one my top favorite ones. Next to my all time favorite grape flavored one of course.
I was first …
Oreo Cookies
Am writing this and am eating one right now. Personally i don’t like my oreo with a milk. I like it just the way it is. Crunchy and overly sweet with its chocolate cookie and its fillings it has very high carbohydrates that is bad for those on a …
Nestle Corn Flakes (Toasted Flakes ofCorn Breakfast Cereal)
My mom is very conscious with her health. She’s usually the one who tries to teach us the right kind of food to eat and influence us with a healthy lifestyle. Among all of the foods that she’d like me to eat, there’s one that she didn’t have a …
Tesco Value Onion Rings
I do like my crispy savoury snacks, and so when I came across the extremely cheap Tesco Value Onion Rings I had to give them a chance. As you would expect from these people, the packaging is really very simple indeed, with no more than the name of the …
Topraman noodles
The Top Raman noodles are the kind of noodles, which come with the tastemaker. I had seen the Top Raman noodles in my cousin’s house one day. She prepared the noodles of this brand once and served it to my husband and me. My husband and …
Campbell’s Soup at Hand : Cream of Broccoli
I like having something nice and warm to drink halfway through my day, and I decided to try Campbell’s Soup at Hand for a somewhat cheaper and quicker alternative to heading down to the cafe every day. The first flavor I tried was Cream of Broccoli.
First off, the …
Tootsie Roll Pops
With all that candy out there, you’d think it would be easy to latch onto one favorite forever and ever. But no, there are so many choices a hungry person lusting after some sugar finds themself bewildered. But the choice is simple: Go buy a chocolate Tootsie …
Blue Bunny Banana Pops
Blue Bunny Banana Pops ended up being a not so wonderful treat for me. I enjoy banana-flavored foods and treats, but unfortunately, these Popsicles did not possess the rich and delicious banana flavor that I was quite hoping for. Although these Popsicles were not completely devoid of banana flavor, …
Uncle Bens Pasta Bake Sauces
One dish that me and my son both love is a pasta bake and when I am making one of these I look no further than an Uncle Bens jar. I am sure there are plenty of others that can make the sauce from scratch, but at the moment …
Fusia Mandarin Orange Chicken
Okay, I never thought in a million thousand years that I would ever do a review about a bagged and frozen chinese food product, but this one is the one that broke the mold. My husband and I are true budgeters so we shop at Aldi from time to …
Nestle Smores Hot Chocolate
Nestle’s newest hot chocolate to hit the super market shelves is smores flavored! Not only does it have a pretty powerfully deep, dark taste to it, but it has adorable little marshmellows as well! I tend not to be a hot chocolate type of person, but I …
Dominos Philly Cheesesteak Pizza
I usually try to avoid ordering pizza; primarily because of the cost and because it isn’t really the healthiest thing my family can be eating.
However, ever since Dominos brought back their Philly Cheesesteak pizza, I’m ordering from them much more than usual.
The thing I like about the pizza is …
Michelina’s Lean Gourmet - Pepperoni Pizza Snack Rolls
After eating my very first Michelina’s Lean Gourmet product, I really wasn’t expecting much from their Pepperoni Pizza Snack Rolls. In fact, I never would have purchased this product, or the other two I did at the same time, had I been aware that Michelina’s is essentially Weight …
Food Lion Natural Spring Water
I wanted to buy bottled water from the grocery store day. The problem with that is, it is always so expensive. I never want to pay that much for it. I do not trust the tap water that I have at home for …
V8 V-Fusion Drinks
While I am a fan of mixed vegetable drinks, my mother and sister beat me with their zeal for this particular beverage. I am more a lover of fruit drinks myself. Maybe it is the fact that I have a sweet tooth, or maybe I just don’t enjoy the …
Lipton Nai Cha
Lipton Milk tea is another product from the makers of teas in bags. Well, Lipton is the most famous tea brand (as I have known). They have been around since I was a kid. Since then they have introduced a variety of products including the Lipton green tea (in …
Louisiana Hot Sauce
I don’t eat hot sauce all the time, but when I’m in the mood for some, it has to be the best hot sauce. I hate dealing with sauces that put your mouth on fire, that’s why I eat my food topped with Louisiana hot sauce. It is spicy …
New Morning Honey Grahams
These graham crackers are utterly terrible. They are made with organic grains (as differentiaed from being completely organic), and they are slightly sweet and graham cracker shaped with proper perforations, but they do not taste like graham crackers let alone very good.
One box 16oz box costs me $3.65 in …
Jones Sugar Free Green Apple Soda
On a recent trip to Big Lots I purchased some Jones Sugar Free Green Apple Soda.It was priced at 3.00 for a twelve pack which is a very reasonable price for this soda which is kind of a gourmet brand. It is usually sold at World Market and Target.
This …
Argentina Corned Beef
Argentina Corned Beef according to its advertisement is fortified with zinc and iron. However, I still could not enjoy eating this corned beef. It contains too much food coloring. One time we went on picnic and one of my friends brought some cans of Argentina corned bees. She …
Wonder whole grain white bread
Wonder whole grain white bread was the substitute I found when I wanted whole grain bread without compromising on the taste and money. Wonder whole grain white is the cheapest of the white breads I found at Albertsons and snapped it without much of expectations any way. I thought …
Milo Energy Drink
The Philippines is a tropical country. The weather here is very unpredictable. There are times that during summer, the rain falls heavily. There are also times that a when a typhoon hits the city, the sun shines brightly. That I can say is “only in the Philippines”.
One of …
National Bite Size Chocolate Bits cookies
When I saw this in the supermarket for the first time at a cheap price, I was delighted to know that the Jamaican brand National was finally making a cheaper pack of chocolate chip cookies, that felt like it contained even more in one bag. Therefore, being a chocolate …
Kroger Lite Ranch Salad Dressing
Compared with “regular” ranch salad dressing, the Kroger Lite Ranch Salad Dressing has fewer calories and significantly less fat. It’s not devoid of either, but it has fewer of both for those that are watching just how many calories and how much fat they consume but still want to …
Wisconsin Buttery Steak Burger from Steak N’ Shake in Ocala Florida
The Wisconsin Buttery Steak Burger from the Steak N’ Shake in Ocala Florida on Southwest College Road was not really all that it was cracked up to be, and assembled poorly. What I thought would be a delicious burger with a sweet tangy taste of the Wisconsin Butter, was …
