Taco Bell Cantina Tacos - Shredded Chicken
The new Cantina tacos at Taco Bell are just over $2 each, but do come in a combination meal for $6 including a drink. With the heavy advertising centered on the double-thick soft corn tortilla shells, fresh cilantro, lime, and deliciously seasoned meats, I felt compelled to at …
Crest Processed Cheddar Cheese
One of my favourite foods to eat is cheddar cheese even though I know it’s not good for me. Sometimes, I indulge anyway and even use it when cooking some things.
The first time I heard about “Crest Processed Cheddar Cheese” was one summer when the nearest supermarket to …
Sanka Decaf Coffee
I don’t think I can get this Sanka Decaf Coffee so easily. I drunk this decaf coffee long time ago. When I still lived in Jakarta,Indonesia few years ago, there were only few supermarket that sell this Sanka Decaf Product.
I bought this Sanka Decaf Coffee product because I …
Stagg Chili Country Brand with Beans
Stagg, I’d like to note in passing, has started putting their chili out in a cardboard Smart Pak, which is probably cheaper than cans and easier to open too - but you do need scissors or a knife.
The County Brand is decently flavorful, and seems to use good meat …
Tradewinds Sweet Tea
One typical afternoon, somewhere in December, I was watching television. One of my cousins handed me over a bottle she was drinking. I did not look at it because my eyes were glued on television watching Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollow on HBO. I gulped the drinks and …
Magnolia Caramel Cheesecake Ice Cream
Summer is here and I could definitely feel the burn of the scorching sun. Because of this, I have succumbed to the calls of the ice cream calling me. It is now the season to give in to the call of ice cream and just forget about the diet. …
Sabra Roasted Garlic Hummus
Hummus is basically a Middle Eastern dip or spread that is made from ground chick peas blended with tahini and olive oil as well as various spices or lemon juice. Sabra Hummus is one of the brands of hummus that are available in my …
Nakd Wildly Different Apple Pie Muesli Bar
I do not know why this muesli-style snack bar is referred to as —˜Apple Pie’ as it has nothing to do with apple pies. It is a rather different kind of very healthy snack bar that I was surprised to find I enjoyed as I do not actually …
Ben & Jerry’s Pistachio Pistachio Ice Cream
I had bought a pint for only about $5 of Ben & Jerry’s Pistachio / Pistachio Ice Cream and this was a new flavour in our supermarket and I was very eager to try it out! I do love their flavours and there isn’t really a flavour that I …
Jimmy Johns Sandwich Shoppe
My coworker and I were trying to find a delicious sandwich restaurant for a lunch run. Another coworker mentioned that Jimmy Johns is a good place to eat, so we decided to try Jimmy Johns for lunch.
Jimmy Johns is a cute little sandwich …
Dollar Tree Bakery Fresh Chocolate Chip Cookies
These chocolate chip cookies just aren’t as delicious or soft as Grandma’s Homestyle Big Cookie Chocolate Chip cookies. That being said, I did enjoy these cookies and they were well-worth a dollar for eight at the Dollar Tree. The chocolate chip cookies had a good flavor to them, both …
Combos Snacks - Cheddar Cheese Pretzel
Combos Snacks - Cheddar Cheese Pretzel is a snack that consists of a pretzel exterior and and a cheddar cheese interior, hence the name of the product. I find this particular variety to be flavorful as the pretzel exterior definitely has a potent salt flavor and once I bite …
Edwards Singles Hot Fudge Brownie with Creamy Ice Cream
After trying a couple of other Edwards products, I saw this on sale and decided to see how it tasted. The product in question was Edwards Singles Hot Fudge Brownie with Creamy Ice Cream. The packaging and process of preparation is almost identical to their Turtle version …
Lay’s Barbecue Potato Chips
I decided to buy these chips for a BBQ I was having. Lays chips were on sale 2 for $6. So I figured why not try the barbecue flavored ones. I tried these chips and they were so good!
I usually don’t have issues with lay’s potato …
Hefty Serve ‘n Store
These disposable plates and bowls are wonderful in helping my family save money. Recently we have realized we are in a financial crisis and had to make some major budgetary cuts. One area of concern was the amount my husband was spending buying take out food at …
Haagen Daz’s Mint Chip Ice Cream
Haagen Daz serves and sells premium and quality ice cream, but I do find their classic flavours too average for my tastes and palate, so I had tried this Mint Chip ice cream and am happy to report that it lives up to it’s name and is equally delicious …
Glutino Gluten Free Cheddar Crackers
These crackers taste as good, if not better, than regular cheddar crackers. That might seem like a bold statement because gluten free foods often don’t taste the same or as great but in this case, it’s the truth.
The box when purchased contains two silver packages of these crackers. The …
Jacks Frozen Pizzas
I purchase Jacks frozen pizzas because they are the brand that is on sale at the local grocery stores most often. We usually buy two or three and save them for days when neither of us feels like cooking.
Because of the price, you can be sure the Jacks pizzas …
Freschetta Brick Oven Roasted Portabella Mushrooms and Spinach Pizza
The Freschetta Brick Oven Roasted Portabella Mushrooms and Spinach Pizza is a great buy. For just under $5 you can get a wonderfully tasty “white sauce” pizza that goes from freezer to table in just under 20 minutes.

Pizza Hut WingStreet All American Wings
Admittedly, I’m pretty finicky about my chicken and where I’ll get it from, be it a fast food place, formal sit down restaurant, or grocery store. I have a more limited palate where it’s concerned, and I grew up with it a certain way, so if it’s not …
Nestle Flavored Waters
It has been said that by the time one is thirsty, a state of dehydration already exists in the body. As a result, I am constantly trying to remember myself to drink constantly throughout the day. Because I generally enjoy most diet beverages or waters, I picked …
Great Taste Trio White Coffee
I have been shopping and tasting different kinds of coffee. One of the varieties have tried is “White Coffee”. At first I was puzzled if this was different coffee mix, perhaps something that was sourced from another coffee but it was the same coffee with the abundance of creamer. …
Chili’s Grilled Chicken Sandwich
I prefer chicken over ground meat when it comes to hot sandwiches. Combine that with cheese and bacon and I’m sold. I get a lot of gift cards from people because they know I love food. When I got one for Chili’s, I was tempted to …
Michelina’s Wheels & Cheese
This is a very simple frozen meal, to be sure. I can’t even really say that it’s a meal even because just the amount of pasta that comes in a package isn’t sufficient to fill me up. When I had this frozen meal, I added a salad that I …
Earl Campbell’s Red Hot Links
I have been around a family that has enjoyed eating hot links all of my life. I like the fact that I can bite into a juicy sausage with a little spice in it. One brand that I have always enjoyed is the Earl Campbell’s Red Hot Links. I …

A message for all of you sandwich connoisseurs out there–JERSEY MIKE’S SUBS. I discovered the small sandwich chain after my neighbor gave me coupons for their trademark giant subs. I decided to give it a try, thinking that it couldn’t be much worse than …

While I was on vacation in Helen, Georgia, we went to the Nora Mill Granary located just south of Helen in the Sautee-Nacoochee Valley district. This is actually a historic stone grinding that opened in 1876. The mill is right on the Chattahoochee River and it is …
Jack n’ Jill Dewberry in Blueberries n’ Cream
I like this sandwich cookie from Jack n’ Jill called Dewberry. From my first taste of Blueberries n’ Cream, I have never grown tired of this itty-bitty snack. It is a cookie with this yummy blueberry and cream filling in the middle. Each packet contains only two cookies but …

I care about my health. I’m going to be 33 soon and really don’t want to see myself having a heart attack by the time I’m 40 so I am making efforts to eat right.
That’s why my wife and I decided to try Campbell’s Select Harvest Soups when they …
Harmony Bay French Vanilla Creme Coffee
Choosing a brand of coffee can be difficult and annoying at times. There are so many brands and flavors to choose from. One specific brand that I like to drink is Harmony Bay French Vanilla Creme Coffee. This particular brand represents a wonderful value for all …
Bulls-eye Texas Style Barbecue Sauce
Recently, I made a conscious choice to try out Bulls-eye Texas Style Barbecue Sauce. Here’s a bit of background on this.
At the meat department of my preferred grocery market, I had an encounter with a worker that did not go well. The end result, which may be …

Nature’s Nectar 100% Juice Mango Tangerine
One-hundred percent fruit juice isn’t always priced at what I consider to be an affordable amount of money. Without sales or coupons, juice that isn’t diluted with water generally runs for over three dollars. It’s for that reason that when I came across the Nature’s Nectar brand of mango …
Betty Crocker - Herb Chicken Vegetable Rice
Betty Crocker - Herb Chicken Vegetable Rice is a side dish that sounded quite tasty, but once I started eating away at it, I quickly found the side dish to offer an abundance of blandness. I do not know why they call this herb chicken when I cannot taste …
Lambertz Exquisit biscuits Coco-flour
When I first discovered cookies with coconuts I was rather young and I really adored them for quite some time, then somehow I stopped eating them and I wasn’t actually paying any attention to them because I discovered cookies with chocolate chips which I liked much more. But the …
Aquamar Imitation Crab Meat
I buy Aquamar Imitation Crab Meat for my crab salad. A 1.5 lbs plastic bag costs $2.82. As both the name and the price suggest, it is not real crab meat, it is made out of Alaskan Pollock. The taste is close enough to the real thing, maybe a …
Double Quarter Pounder with Cheese from McDonalds
The other day as I was driving home from work, I decided to do something that I am not in the habit of doing. I stopped at a McDonalds to grab something to eat for dinner. I was very hungry from having worked through lunch so I decided to …
Kroger Mac N’ Cheese
One of the best cures that I’ve found for a hangover is the carb and cheese combo found in a box of Mac N’ Cheese. It’s cheap, quick and usually does the job, especially with a bottle of any sports drink at it’s side. Because of this …
Mikasan Choco Flakes
I love crunchy snacks, to be honest. There is nothing better than good chips, and crunchy things chewed while watching TV. My officemate went to baguio last weekend and she asked if I wanted something from the tourist place. I did not think of twice, and I uttered a …
Arnold palmer lite iced tea with lemonade
I recently tried out a great drink on the market. It was a lite half and half iced tea and lemonade drink by arnold palmer, the famous golfer. The company that makes it is Arizon and has dedicated him with this beverage. The drink depicts the …
Moo-Latte from Dairy Queen
My husband and I really like treating ourselves to a Moo-Latte from Dairy Queen. They are a blended drink with a coffee base. It’s not a smooth consistancy but has small icy crystals in it which my husband loves. The Moo-Latte comes in Mocha, Hazelnut, Vanilla …
Florida’s Natural Premium Ruby Red Grapefruit Juice
Grapefruit is a fruit that’s delicious sweet and very nutritious, and grapefruit is also something that can be eaten when on a diet, so it’s good for weight-control too. I have to say though, I haven’t touched another actual grapefruit since I tried this grapefruit juice from Florida’s Natural …
Great Day Breakfast: Original Mini Piggies ‘n Pancakes
Great Day Breakfast: Original Mini Piggies ‘n Pancakes is not something I will purchase again. The reason I will not purchase this breakfast meal again is because I did not care too much for the sausage that was contained within the pancake batter. The sausage did not offer much …
Weight Watchers Smart Ones
I really enjoy eating Weight Watchers Smart Ones meals. I buy them for under two dollars a piece at Target and I have one for lunch at work every day. They make the perfect lunch. I buy a weeks worth and put them in the freezer and then I …
Bird’s Eye Voila Garlic Chicken
Some frozen foods are very good and satisfying. Some frozen foods are disgusting. Other frozen foods are in-between: you would eat them again if you had to, but given the choice, no way. Bird’s Eye Voila dinners come in many flavors and textures, and Garlic Chicken sounds pretty good, …
Coconut Almond Patties from Florida’s Finest Chocolates
The Coconut Almond Patties from Florida’s Finest Chocolates are delicious, creamy, and easily found at Bells (a department store in Florida) for a much cheaper price then are sold in airports or souvenir shops. The price of these chocolates are roughly around four to five dollars, and that is …
Great Value Fruit Spins Cereal
As I mentioned in another review, my wife and I decided to do some much needed grocery shopping recently and, because we needed to go there anyway, ended up at our local Walmart Super Center.
One of the items we needed was breakfast cereal because, once again, we seemed to …
Galaxy Chocolate
I have tried a lot of different chocolate in my time, and Galaxy, in my opinion has a great taste which is unlike any other chocolate I’ve tasted

Cheese Bread from Femas Bakeshop
I was cycling through the city trying to discover the little nooks and crannies in this little town of mine with so much history, when I discovered a seemingly popular bakeshop in this part of the world. I alighted from my bicycle and went over to investigate, and I …
Big Blue Soda
Big blue is one of the branch off of flavors that is under the famous Big red soda. I decided to give it a try when seeing it while witin in line in my neighborhood Wal-mart, when noticing it was only for a dollar. I figured, “Hey Big Red’s …
