Wibisco Shirley Ginger Biscuits
I recently started liking Shirley Biscuits even though I had not liked the taste of them and therefore had not eaten them for years. These “Shirley Biscuits” are little rectangular tea biscuits with a cute little design of a cottage in the middle of them. The original Shirley tea …
Werther’s Original Dark Chocolate
I had a feeling that these would be nice chocolates from Werther’s as the TV advert has been making me dribble with anticipation and indeed they are good. The chocolate is the most melt in the mouth chocolate I have ever tasted. To describe them, they are …
Happy Harvest Kidney Beans
I decided to make chili again last week and, needing some kidney beans to go into it, I ended up running to the store.
Because I didn’t want to spend too much money (chili is a great way to keep the food budget under control because you can make a …
Healthy food-Fit & Active Dried Fruit Mix
I tend to go for ‘healthy’ foods that I think will be good for me based on the packaging. However, it always helps to look at the package carefully and make sure that it is not just saying it is healthy. Aldi food stores offers a line …
Sainsbury’s Basics Baked Beans in Tomato Sauce
Baked beans in tomato sauce are about the most basic of all basics when it comes to British cooking, since we eat far more baked beans than just about any other country in the world. Sainsbury’s budget “Basics” range therefore carries a fairly good selection of similar products, but …
Lurpak Butter
Lurpak is an excellent butter, the taste of which I have been familiar with all my life as my mum used to put Lurpak on our jacket potatoes. She did believe in getting good butter in. Lately, I have stopped buying these spreads and ‘like butter but …
Pasta Express
We received a Pasta Express for a gift. It is one of those As Seen on TV products, so we had never really seen it before - It is basically a plastic cylinder with a lid, in which you can easily cook pasta.
It has turned out to be surprisingly …
Duncan Hines Premium Frosting in Milk Chocolate
Chocolate cake is admittedly one of my guilty pleasures. I don’t allow myself to indulge in it too often but do enjoy it every now and then. Lately I’ve also been into baking and am trying many baking recipes. I bought a chocolate cake mix to try out and …
T. Marzetti Old Fashioned Caramel Apple Dip
I love the fall season, especially the Halloween holiday with bobbing for apples among friends and making candy and caramel apples for the kids. I just hate for this season to end because I enjoy eating the caramel apples the most. Recently while out doing grocery shopping for the …
Hostess The Flash Cakes
There’s really nothing all that notable about Hostess The Flash Cakes. Although the cupcakes may look attractive, they’re basically nothing more than Hostess Cupcakes with food coloring added as well as sprinkles. For the most part, Hostess The Flash Cakes and Hostess Cupcakes taste exactly like, with the only …
Valutime Imitation Shredded Cheese
I was in the need for shredded cheese last night because we were having chili and my wife likes having that in the chili (I could always take it or leave it). Unfortunately for me, I only had a little bit of money with me at the time and …
Kashi Golean Chrunch Protein and Fiber Cereal
The packaging is attractive and when you taste it, it is not disappointing as the original Kashi cereal.This cereal taste great. The texture is very crunchy as I like it not crispy. My children prefer crispy. The taste is a little better than the …
Corona Beer
Is there any better tasting beer than Corona? Corona means Crown in Spanish, and I have to think I agree with their assessment. They are far more the King of Beers than Budweiser could ever hope to be.
I am not myself much of a beer drinker, although …
Gevalia China Mountain Green Tea
I am trying to modify my lifestyle to be healthier and I have been hearing a lot of things in regards to green tea being an effective antioxidant and being a good weight loss aid. That’s why I decided to get Gevalia China Mountain Green Tea and which …
Archer Farms Muesli Cereal
A few days ago I bought a container of this cereal from Target. I say container because it does not come in a box but in an oval stiff-sided contraption with a hard plastic lid. I admit to being attracted to the image of the cereal on the front …
Coleman’s Tuna Pasta Bake Mix
This packet sauce mix is a delicious and simple base for some versatile recipes.
The packet will advise you an ideal recipe, but for the most part it’s pasta, tuna, sweetcorn and the sauce mix. You can interchange the vegetables, and tuna can be substituted with chicken for particularly …
O’Charley’s Chicken Tenders Appetizer
I get great deals on Facebook for O’Charley’s appetizers. It’s not one dollar or two dollars or even %50 off of an appetizer—¦ I get an appetizer for FREE! All I need to do is buy an entrée at regular price and I get an appetizer (at …
Baker’s Corner White Frosting
Baker’s Corner White Frosting comes in a sixteen ounce tub for one dollar and twenty-nine cents at ALDI Food Market stores. This white frosting is about thirty cents cheaper, or more depending on the store, than the name brand white frostings. What’s even better is I can’t taste the …
Kashi TLC Country Cheddar Crackers
I love cheesy crackers, but I only eat natural ones made from whole foods. Some of the cheesy crackers I like to eat are the Kashi TLC Country Cheddar Crackers. They are tender and crunchy with a nice light cheddar flavor and are not overly salty. They have a …
5-hour Engery drink
After hearing so many good things about 5-hour Energy drink, I thought I would give it a try for myself.
The first things advertised are an hour five to be exact of energy without having a crash, this drink is sugar free, and only has four calories.
I bought …
Absolut Vodka
Absolut vodka is well known all over the world. Its design is impossible to mistake, in a bottle without any label but just letters printed on it. However, the bottle is not the only thing that makes this vodka special.
I like drinking vodka when I go to night clubs, …
Sorrento Cheese Sticksters
I’ve always enjoyed Sorrento’s many fine cheese products both in cooking and simply as a healthy and quick snack. Recently I tried their “Sticksters” cheese for kids (although grown ups can eat it too!). It is along the same idea as the stringsters type of cheese but the sticksters …
Herradura Anejo Tequila
Having never purchased a bottle of anejo tequila -I’d only had it in mixed drinks before - I decided to give it a try recently. Anejos are known for richer flavors because they take the longest to age. Although I prefer reposado tequila, I really enjoyed this Herradura Anejo …
Blue Diamond Almond Breeze almond coconut blend unsweetened
So I recently moved to the US and I’ve started trying out different plant-based milk brands to find the one that will fullfill all my purposes. No success yet. And I’ll tell you why later on. At first, let me tell you what I expect from my plant-based milk and …
Sargento Classic Cheddar Jack - Fancy Shredded
Back before the holidays I was looking in the supermarket for shredded cheese. As it happened, this one was on sale and so I bought it. I’m glad I did, as this is a very excellent cheese indeed.
I like how easy this cheese is to use in all of …
Nutella Hazlenut Spread
I seem to remember that Nutella Hazlenut spread was launched onto the UK market when I was a kid in the 70s but when it came out, I looked at it as the Holy Grail of spreads for children. I hope I am not pregnant or anything …
Sprite Soda
During break time in school, me and my friends are always going on our school’s canteen to buy some snack for our merienda. We prefer buying some bread or crackers with matching a soda. Speaking of a soda, I am buying Sprite Soda. I still prefer drinking this drink …
Heinz Tomato Ketchup
There are many brand of tomato ketchup that you can find in the store here. But so far, the best taste of tomato ketchup are only from Heinz Tomato Ketchup.
When you go to the Tomato Ketchup section in the grocery stores here, you probably will find their product …
Chick-fil-A Waffle Potato Fries
The Waffle Potato Fries at Chick-fil-A are much better than the typical fast food fry, in my opinion. They are superior to McDonald’s, Wendy’s and Whataburger’s fries because unlike the fries served by the aforementioned fast food restaurants, these waffle fries do not taste horrid as soon as they …
Yo Mama Frozen Yogurt, Hong Kong
I love frozen yogurt and I need my fix at least once a week. I went to a trip to Hong Kong and surprisingly, yogurt isn’t everywhere unlike in Manila. When I saw the Yo Mama shop in Windsor House, Causeway Bay, I of course tried it …

Pepsi Twist
I love Pepsi Twist, what a splendid idea to add some lemon flavor to Pepsi! I used to make my own “twists” like that, adding a slice of lemon into my pop, so when I first saw a Pepsi Twist commercial I thought, “YEAH!! Just what I want!” I …
Hot Tamales
I’ve seen them for years, but I’ve only just tried them, and I’m glad I did. ‘Them’ are Hot Tamales. I spotted them at a convenience store I visited a while back and purchased them on a whim. Of course, they’re available at my supermarket, too. …
Post Honey Bunches Of Oats
Post honey bunches of oats cereal is a great cereal that is reasonably priced. I like the flavor of this cereal very much. It has a slightly sweet taste to it but is not overwhelming with the sugar. The Post honey bunches of oats cereal stays …
Luigi’s Real Italian Ice Watermelon and Blue Raspberry
This was a disappointing variety pack of naturally-flavored Italian Ice from Luigi’s Italian Ice. Neither flavor wowed me and neither flavor satisfied me outside of being a cold frozen treat that delivered refreshing relief from the hot summer heat. I can get that pleasant cool sensation from other frozen …
Busy Baker Cheddar Cheese Baked Snack Crackers
I’m trying to lose a little bit of weight and, one way I am doing that (successfully, I might add), is by cutting back on the amount of soda I drink simply by not drinking any while I’m at work; just water.
A side effect of that is, by 2 …
Chandon Blanc De Noirs Champagne
I’m not a wine snob, but I just do not enjoy drinking cheap champagne. There’s just something about it that causes me to get a severe headache about half way through my first glass. Seriously, it’s never an enjoyable experience and I always dread occasions where I know it …
Cuordi, biscuits with hazelnut cream filling
Although I adore hazelnut creams I don’t like all of them. Nutella is the best of course, but you can find a few other hazelnut creams that are as good as Nutella. Unfortunately they didn’t put Nutella in this biscuit but they didn’t put anything like Nutella either.
The biscuit …
Nestle Bar One chocolates
All the kids love to eat the chocolates. Not only kids even most of the elders love eating chocolates. And I am one of those who love chocolates. I normally eat the nestle bar one chocolates a lot. The reasons why I like this chocolate …
Duncan Hines Decadent California Walnut Brownie Mix
Ever since I have discovered my love for baking, Duncan Hines’ products are the first I turn to when I want to either bake something straight from a box, or create something semi-homemade. I will admit that making brownies from scratch is not my strong suit at the moment; however, …
Whiteway’s Peardrax
It’s been a long time since I had a drink of Whiteway’s Peardrax. But yesterday while I was out yesterday the sun was extremely hot and I decided to get myself a drink. I choose a small bottle of Whiteway’s Peardrax from the cooling fridge.
As I opened the bottle …
Cadbury’s gems
Cad buries is the name of the company which produces many kind of chocolates. I have tasted all the chocolates of this company and all are good, for example, Cadburys dairy milk, Cadburys gems and Cadburys 5 star chocolates. They contain very good quality and very good …
Tostitos Scoops! Hint of Jalapeno Tortilla Chips
Tostitos Scoops! Hint of Jalapeno Tortilla Chips come in a nine point five ounce bag and retail for around three dollars a bag. I like these tortilla chips for a couple of reasons. First of all, I personally think these tortilla chips are delightfully hot! I was fooled into …
So Delicious Coconutmilk Butter Pecan ice-cream (No sugar added)
I love the ice-cream and I’ve tried all kinds of it: regular cream-based, low-calorie, low-sugar, low-carb, low-fat, vegan. But never have I tried vegan ice-cream with no sugar in it. This one looked interesting to me since that seems to be the only low-sugar vegan ice-cream. I picked the “Butter …
Albert Heijn Power Stick Yogurt
I think this is a new product from Albert Heijn. They make yogurt for the children but it is not ins the small yogurt cup. This yogurt has a shape like sticks. That’s why they called it power stick yogurt.
And when you buy one package,there will be six power …
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 …
Sliced Fish Noodle Soup
Most Asians love to eat Sliced Fish Noodle Soup. Including myself. I love the noodles especially, instead of eating this Sliced Fish Soup with the replacement of rice.
And for the noodle option, I love the yellow ‘E-Mee’ or just a normal yellowish noodle-type. Really delicious …
Betty Crocker Super Moist Strawberry Cake
When it comes to Betty Crocker’s cake mixes, I like to experiment with my taste buds. I never baked the Betty Crocker strawberry cake before, so I wanted to give it a try.
The Betty Crocker super moist strawberry cake mix color is more pink than the red color …
Hilo Value Hot Pepper Sauce
I never really had an interest in putting hot pepper sauce on my food because most of the brands that were bought before now were too hot for me, and I don’t usually like putting a lot of pepper on my food. Therefore, if I absolutely must, I would …
