Little Debbie 100 Calorie Snacks Snow Puffs
Little Debbie 100 Calorie Snacks Snow Puffs quite unfortunately suffer from the same problems that a majority of low fat or fat free products do: a considerable reduction in flavor and a significant increase in overall blandness. These soft snow puffs almost taste like nothing really as both the …
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 …
Great Value Mushrooms
I was making spaghetti Friday and wanted some mushrooms to go in my sauce. In an effort to save money, I told my wife to pick up the cheapest brand she could find. That turned out to be the Great Value brand.
I have had Great Value products before and …
Campbell Condensed Soup Bean with Bacon
Campbell is that brand with the red and white label,that automatically catches my eye whenever I am browsing though the grocery store. There’s so many different ones to choose from that sometimes find myself conflicted on what to get. Usually what like to get is the condensed soups like …
Simply Lemonade with Raspberry
Lately I have been drinking Simply Lemonade with Raspberry and let me just say it taste so good. It actually has the sourness of lemons and the sweet tartness of raspberries which I really, really like. I even like the color of the lemonade with is a light pink …
Old El Paso Hard and Soft Taco Dinner Kit
Thanks to a new product I just found, I can now make tacos at home again, which is something that makes me very happy. For years, I have rarely purchased taco kits from the grocery store because I like hard tacos and my husband likes soft ones, so I …
Anmum Materna Milk drink
This is a great milk drink for pregnant women or expectant mothers because of its very healthy ingredients needed by pregnant women. It is a very high folate milk drink. What I like about it is that it tastes delicious or yummy even when I was very …
Pooles Meat and Potato Pies
Like me I’m sure that you are always looking for something different to eat, you know something that will make a change. Well a couple of weeks ago I spotted Pooles Meat and Potato Pies in the freezer compartment at my local Morrisons supermarket. The photograph on the packaging …
Goldcrest Artichoke Bottoms
Fresh artichokes are often expensive and what’s worse, it is a seasonal vegetable which you can only find when it is in “season”. When my husband asks for artichokes, I buy the Goldcrest Artichoke Bottoms which are in cans. The can is very practical to have as you don’t …
Great Value Garlic Texas Toast
Before ALDI opened up in my area, I used to purchase the Walmart Great Value Garlic Texas Toast because it was the cheapest Texas Toast I could find at just a dollar seventy-four a box for eight slices. That easily beat the national brands like New York Style and …
Grandi Chocolate banana
I went to Getro discount about 3 weeks ago and I bought a bunch of cheap Grandi products. Grandi is a cheap, but really cheap brand, that you can find only at Getro. Usually their stuff aren’t good but some of them are so I decided to check them …
Munch pop chocs
The munch pop chocs is also a kind of chocolate which is somewhat different. Actually the munch chocolates are good ones which had the crispy wafer inside coated with the thick chocolate coating. In the same way the munch pop chocs are introduced which looks like the …
Maple Grove Farms Maple Cream Cookies
Maple Grove Farms Maple Cream Cookies are delicious. Unlike the Manning’s Cookie Shop Maple Leaf Creme cookies, which are more sugary sweet than maple-flavored and unlike the Dare Maple Leaf Creme cookies which are ridiculously priced, these cookies from Maple Grove Farms aren’t super sugary and aren’t super high …
Silver Shred Marmalade
For as long as I can remember I have always bought orange marmalade to have on my breakfast toast, or croissant, yes I did say croissant, I do love orange marmalade on a croissant. I’ve bought every type of orange marmalade, expensive ones, cheap ones, well known brands and …
Lowfat Chocolate Milk
You might think that lowfat milk is nasty. I actually like it. Especially the chocolate milk. The lowfat chocolate milk is really good. It is thick and filling. It is also kind of sweet. If you like thick creamy chocolaty drinks you will like this. I can’t believe how …
Cheerios cereal : Dulce de Leche
Cheerios has a new addition to the line called Dulce de Leche. If you’re a Cheerios fan and love the taste of caramel then this is for you. It’s lightly sweetened with the natural flavor of caramel, though it’s not sugary sweet. This is great because you won’t get …
Kelloggs Coco Pops
Kelloggs Coco Pops are basically puffed rice —“ exactly the same as Rice Krispies —“ except they are brown and chocolatey, made with chocolate and added calcium. I loved these when I was a kid and although they do contain chocolate they do have a lot of nutritional …
Lean Pocket: Chicken, Broccoli, & Reduced Fat Cheddar
I do not have very many good things to say about Lean Pocket: Chicken, Broccoli, & Reduced Fat Cheddar. About the only positive quality that this Lean Pocket has to offer is quality chicken. The chicken was pretty flavorful and tender, too. It was in very small pieces, but …
Betty Crocker’s Fruit By the Foot
Fruit by the Foot boxes come with six, three-foot long rolls. They are chewy treats that I buy to put in my son’s lunch bag. However, I find that he rarely eats them, although he always wants to get them at the store. They just aren’t a snack that …
Flava Puff Butter Popcorn
I bought huge, huge tub of Flava Puff pop corn from the Duty Free Shop. It comes in a really huge tub but it was really cheap, like maybe Php250 (around $5). It has a huge container, and it had a red hand grip so anyone can carry it …
Great Value Pasta Sauce
I came home last night once again expecting leftovers for dinner. However, my wife apparently had other plans (unlike me, she has no problem throwing out uneaten food every Sunday) and, instead, was making spaghetti and meatballs.
Whenever I make spaghetti, I prefer making my sauce rather than using sauce …
Ziploc storage bags and containers
Ziploc storage bags and containers
Not only does Ziploc support a greener earth, but they are the handiest items in the kitchen. You could save yourself a whole lot of cash by using Ziploc products. They are safe in the freezer as well as the refrigerator. I use mine to …
Kahlua Liquer Drink
I’m not a big drinker. I have some health issues which mean that one or two drinks is pretty much my limit and that is one of the reasons I like Kahlua. It’s the perfect drink for every now and then.
Firstly the taste of Kahlua is pretty …
Hershey’s Milk Shake: Creamy Chocolate
For me, nothing beats a real milk shake that you get at a restaurant. Next to that is a refreshing glass of Crystal chocolate milk. Some companies now also make these single serve chocolate drinks, which they call milk shakes, and sell them at the stores. For …
Jacks Frozen Pizzas
I’m a big “value” shopper and I have yet to find a better deal on frozen pizzas than the ones most stores offer on the brand Jacks. Typically, I can buy Jacks Pizzas for as little as $2 each and fill my freezer with them for use during lunches …
Milka Fire Limited Edition
In the shop near my house Milka chocolate are on discounts very often, so everybody in my house buys them. They taste fine and when they are on discount you can get them for about 70 or 80 Euro cents which is not all that much for that quality …
Enviro Kidz Organic Leapin’ Leamur Cereal
The Enviro Kidz Organic Leapin’ Leamur cereal is a peanut butter and chocolate cereal. The flavor of the cereal is what more than sold me on it. I love peanut butter and chocolate as a combination. It is probably my favorite combination, so put it in …
Harvest Snacks Chill’n Ranch Tortilla Chips
These tortilla chips proved to be a disappointment because they are supposed to be ranch flavored, but I tasted very little ranch on the tortilla chips. I could have almost mistaken the tortilla chips for being plain had the bag not had the word “ranch” on the front. I …
Kroger Brand Sweetened Iced Tea
Usually I opt for Mayfield’s Iced Tea, since I’ve grown accustomed to the flavor. But one day I decided to try the store brand iced tea, just to see how “disgusting” it was-so that I’d have a reason to go back to buying the Mayfield brand. …
McCormick Pure Mint Extract
Hi there! Today I decided to share something that, in my opinion, all mint-lovers should have at home. One day I really started craving peppermint mocha, even though it’s the beginning of August and it’s like 100 degrees outside. But the cravings wouldn’t go away, so I had to come …
Del Monte Citrus Salad
Del Monte Citrus Salad is our new family favorite. This canned fruit mix contains three kinds of citrus (red grapefruit, white grapefruit, and orange) in sweet light syrup. It is packed with Vitamin C, it tastes great, contains no preservatives, and, best of all, you don’t have to peel …
Miso-Cup Instant Soup
I recently decided to give Miso-Cup instant “Delicious golden vegetable soup” by Edward&Sons a try. It comes in a box with Eight 8-oz servings in Four Envelopes for $5.49. I had always enjoyed Miso soups at Asian restaurants, so I wanted to see what this freeze-dried version would …
Apple Hill Orchards
Apple Hill Orchards is located in the Mansfield/Lexington area of Ohio. I first heard about this pick your own apple orchard when my partner expressed an interest in picking apples for his birthday. It costs about five US dollars to pick a half peck, which is a decent size …
Lays Kettle Cooked Jalapeno Potato Chips
I love all kind of spicy Potato chips. A few weeks ago I found Lays Kettle Cooked Jalapeno Potato Chips, and they really fit the bill for hot! I bought the Family Size bag, which is a 14oz bag.
These Kettle Cooked chips are very crunchy. The chips are made …
Berryhill Wild Blueberry Fruit Syrup
The Berryhill Wild Blueberry Fruit Syrup comes in a thirteen ounce bottle for two dollars and forty-nine cents at ALDI Food Market stores. After trying the Smucker’s Blueberry Syrup and being real disappointed, I was kind of hesitant to give this blueberry syrup a try. I didn’t want to …
L’oven Fresh Triple Chocolate Fudge Cake (Twenty Ounce Cake)
The L’oven Fresh Triple Chocolate Fudge Cake is a twenty-ounce cake available for purchase at ALDI Food Market stores for two dollars and ninety-nine cents. If you aren’t someone that enjoys making cakes from box mixes or scratch and would rather just purchase a pre-made cake that is ready …
International delight: Almond Joy Creamer
As a coffee drinker I like to use liquid creamer instead of the standard powdered version of it. For the simple fact that its blends better than the power does. Not only does it blend better but it at times sweetens the coffee, enhances the flavor or better yet …
Presidents Choice Organics Medium Roast Coffee
I love my coffee, and I am always trying different perked brands to make at home. Recently I bought a 454gram bag of Presidents Choice Organics Medium Roast Coffee. I could smell a rich strong coffee, even from outside the bag, and thought this would be a good pick …
Primo Thick and Zesty Garlic and Herb Pasta Sauce 680 mL
This is my first choice when making any pasta that needs tomato sauce. It’s that good, so I use it almost daily. I’ve had this change in diet lately where I seem to be giving up on rice almost completely.
I was originally from the Philippines and even …
Turkey Hill Iced Peach Tea
I picked up a half gallon of Turkey Hill iced peach on sale, for only ninety-nine cents. Usually it’s a dollar ninety-nine, at Kroger but they dropped it down. Normally when I buy already made teas, I go for Arizona green tea, Snapple or Lipton, or just simply make …
Pumpkin Flavored Ice Cream from Edy’s
There are many flavors of ice cream, and at first, the thought of Pumpkin flavored ice cream did not at all appeal to me. I am not a person who really likes pumpkin flavor at all, but in all honesty, the Pumpkin flavored ice cream from Edy’s was not …
Linessa Mozzarella Light
I have never used Mozzarella very much but I have been trying to be more adventurous lately and I wanted to try Mozzarella in a wrap, although I did not know whether it would be a success or not. I was glad to be able to buy a …
I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter Mediterranean Blend
“I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter Mediterranean Blend” is the only spread that I use. I use it because it is a little healthier than using butter or margarine because it is cholesterol free, there are no partially hydrogenated oils, fat and saturated fat are in lower concentrations as …
McVities Penguin Biscuits
I remember my mum used to get Penguin biscuits in for me when I was a kid. They are very appealing to children as in a packet, each biscuit is individually wrapped, each one in a different bright color, with an arty picture of a penguin on the …
Orbit Professional Spearmint
I have chewed the Orbit Professional Spearmint gum and found it to be very refreshing. Please let me share my positive experience with you.
Please let me start this review by saying that I like the taste of this chewing gum. I have felt that the gum has a strong …
Dairy Queens French Silk Pie
I love going to Dairy Queen and getting a treat once in a while. This weekend I decided to try the French Silk Pie blizzard and I am so glad that I did. It was delicious.
I ordered the medium size one, and it filled me up. …
Hurricane High Gravity Lager
Alright I’m going to be honest Hurricane High Gravity Lager is not a very good beer. I mean the taste is very strong and quite nasty. You are better off buying a Miller High Life bottle or some other beer. But this is really not the way to go. The …
Tofurky
I tried to like Tofurky, but just could not do it. This product is revolutionary and really is a healthy option as well as being a vegetarian’s dream, but in my opinion, it stinks! We made tofurky and the entire family sat down to eat it and all I …
Nature Valley Crunch Granola Bars
Nature Valley Crunch Granola bars seem like a healthy choice for a snack and they do make a pretty good snack - especially the packs with two in them. They actually are pretty filling which makes them a good value because they are more filling than regular granola bars …
