Earth Grains Sweet French Rolls
Back in college, I had my first hoagie sandwich ever, and let’s just say after having one, it just wasn’t enough. I just loved those things. Since then, I have naturally enjoyed many hoagies and similar sandwiches. One of my favorites is the popular sub sandwich, …
ChocoLava Chocolate Drink
This product really gets a chuckle out of me. Why? It is because this is being endorsed by our local artist named John Lloyd Cruz with a tag line: “No more kid stuff for me.” That is really funny because this ChocoLava instant 3-in-1 chocolate drink is nothing but …
Tortellini Four cheeses (BARILLA)
BARILLA, the Italian pasta maker, is probably the most popular among the “big” commercial pasta producers. Some of its success may be attributed to the variety and the sheer ubiquity of their many products. But they wouldn’t be as popular as they are if they weren’t simply good - surely …
Clancy’s Puffed Corn Butter
Clancy’s Puffed Corn Butter is a product that comes in an eight ounce bag for one dollar and nineteen cents. The product has an odd name, but it’s a lot like popcorn. The puffed corn isn’t as crunchy as popcorn and it also isn’t as salty. It’s not as …
Pop Weaver Extra Butter Popcorn
I personally can’t taste a whole lot more butter on this variety of popcorn compared to the “Butter” variety, also made by Pop Weaver. I can certainly feel it on my fingers, but I can’t quite taste the extra butter once the popcorn leaves my hand and enters my …
The Co operative Cornflakes
These cornflakes are from The Co-operative’s own brand, called ‘Simply Value’. When I saw this big bag of cornflakes (500g) for only 48 pence I thought it was a bargain. I have been having a big bowl of this for breakfast every morning since and I think …
Kraft Recipe Makers New England Pot Roast
I gave Kraft Recipe Makers New England Pot Roast a try one evening. What I like about this product is the convenience of it. It’s like the Kraft version of hamburger helper. Although unlike hamburger helper that comes with dry mixes and noodles this one comes with actual …
Hot Pockets Chicken Quesadilla
Hot Pockets Chicken Quesadilla is unfortunately a bad example of a Mexican classic. I felt like a good Mexican chicken dish and thought the hand held pocket size sandwich would be good. Boy was I wrong! The hot pocket comes with a crispy tool that you put the …
Purified Tap Water - Water filters
Lots of things are said about bottled water these days, mostly negative. Many water companies mislead consumers by using words like “artesian” and natural on their labels. Check out the sources of these waters and often you will find out that there water comes from more than …
Wyke Farms Ivy’s Vintage Reserve Cheddar Cheese
This is supposed to be —˜cheese for the connoisseur’, a vintage cheese that, as the box says, —˜was worthy of its place alongside the vintage port’. I must eat cheese every day but I am not sure I am a connoisseur, but this is a lovely cheese and …
Jimmy Dean Premium Regular Sausage
When country singer Jimmy Dean first began to market his sausage, the original product was his premium sausage. Nothing was microwaved or conveniently sized in those days, so it was just the basic product.
Jimmy Dean Premium Regular Sausage is a roll sausage that comes in a sixteen-ounce size, …
Truvia, sweetener without calorie
This is a review of Truvia. Truvia is a brand of stevia, which is a naturally sweetener without calorie. When I first saw it on the shelf, the first thought that came to mind was “ Sweetness without calorie? That is absolutely awesome” I have been trying it for …
Buffalo Bill’s Pumpkin Ale
I’m a big fan of seasonal beers, but I’ve only ever got them on draft at bars. This was my first purchase of bottled pumpkin ale, and I was extremely pleased with what I got. It’s available for purchase at EarthFare grocery stores, and I believe I saw it …
Power Crunch French Vanilla Creme Filled Wafer Cookie
This wafer bar cookie is crispy and tasty. It really is like a wafer cookie, just in bar-form. It’s also more like a cookie than a protein bar for a couple of reasons. The first reason is because it’s not hard and chalky and odd tasting like some other …
Ritz Crackers
Personally, I always have some stocks of Ritz crackers in my kitchen cupboard for emergency cases. One good thing with Ritz crackers is that it is very handy whenever I have some visitors at home. There are also some good recipes I can think of if I …
Campbell’s Jammin’ Jerk Chicken with Rice & Beans Soup
I was recently able to try one of Campbell’s Chunky soups - their microwaveable Chunky Jammin’ Jerk Chicken with Rice & Beans Soup.
I’m not a big fan of Campbell’s Chunky soups nor am I one who likes super spicy foods, so I was hesitant at first to try …
Pirie South 2007 Sauvignon Blanc
This sauvignon blanc is a great little wine to try. I have a particular fondness for summery sauvignon blancs as I like the natural floral citrus flavor. It is a crisp wine that leaves a zesty lime taste in your mouth. It complements a wide variety of foods spicy …
Violife Vegan Cheese Alternatives
Violife is probably the biggest vegan cheese alternatives brand in Europe. Their products can be found in most European countries and in most big supermarkets. I’ve already shared my thoughts on 2 of their products, which are Violife Creamy Original and Violife For Pizza. In this review, I want to …
Douwe Egberts Pure Indulgence Instant Coffee
Douwe Egberts Pure Indulgence is an excellent instant coffee with a lovely flavour. I like a coffee with a lot of strength to it but without harshness or bitterness and this coffee fits the bill. It is good and strong so I, as a total caffeine addict, …
Wal-Mart brand “Chocolate Sammies”
Someone packed these little treats along for a vacation, and I at first thought I was going to be in heaven. Chocolate Sammies, in the pack, look like little cakes with lots of chocolate frosting in between. But upon closer examination, I realize that these …
Fantastic Delites, Sweet Chilli and Sour Cream
I had to rush out and buy this packet of Fantastic Delites today when I went grocery shopping. I first tried these deliecious rice snacks when I hired the movie Juno the other night from Blockbuster. They had a special promotion hire the movie and receive a free packet …
Maple Leaf Ezee Sub Sauce
I love subs and sandwiches. I always have my mom make them and when she said she found a great sauce that I should try on my subs, I just had to give it a go. I woke up in the morning and saw her making it and I …
Keebler Ready Crust Graham Pie Crust
Keebler Ready Crust Graham Pie Crust is made from a company that I trust for most things. I can make a mean graham pie crust from scratch, but sometimes you just do not have the time to do so. Keebler Ready Crust Graham Pie Crust makes it so simple …
Kellogg’s Cinnabon Pancakes
I was reading a discussion posted on another site about how much this girls neice loved Cinnabons frozen pancakes. Of course I was curious since I had never heard of them. I love the food at Cinnabon so I knew I had to find these frozen pancakes and try …
Chick-fil-A Fruit Cup
The Fruit Cup side dish at Chick-fil-A is really quite enjoyable! This fruit cup is positively overflowing with fresh and flavorful fruit that makes of a scrumptious afternoon snack. I like to order this side dish and then save it for later in the day - maybe three hours …
Maggie noodles and soup
I often make maggie noodles at home. It just takes few minutes to prepare the dish. They also provide tastemaker along with the noodles. This is very handy for all moms and most of the children would love to eat maggie noodles. All we need to do is boil …
Imperial Margerine
My family has used Imperial Margerine for several decades. I really can’t say why we started using it because I was a kid when I first became aware of it. This is one of those things where I just never changed brands from what my parents used.
Over …
Godfather’s Pizza Southern Ontario
Godfather’s makes some of the best pizza around, for sure. They are absolutely delicious, especially when compared to a lot of the other pizza chains your going to be seeing in southern Ontario. Pizza Pizza is nothing compared to the delicious Godfathers Pizza.
I especially enjoy their Tuesday …
GoGo Squeez Organic Applesauce On the Go
My daughter came home raving about a snack she’d had at school —“ GoGo Squeez Organic Applesauce on the Go by Materne. Of course, she insisted I go out and buy a package right away. So, I did. I was pretty curious to try this applesauce …
Weigh 2 Go
I buy many things in the bulk section of my grocery store-pasta, seeds, baking supplies, rice, candy (particularly gummy bears), raisins, nuts, dried fruit and berries, and sometimes even granola and dried cereal. I find that the quality is generally almost as good, with most stores and items anyway, …
Banquet Beef Pot Pie
With a net weight of 7 ounces, Banquet Beef Pot Pies are a small, but tasty pot pie that is sold in a cardboard pie “tin”. Although the poultry (chicken and turkey) pot pies are my favorites, I also am quite fond of …
Sobe Energize Citrus Energy
Sobe Enegrize Citrus Energy was one of the flavors I decide to try when it and some of the other flavor Elixirs were on sale at Kroger for eighty-cents each. So to say this one and other flavors were tossed in my cart for purchase. I designated this one …
Nesvita Cereal Milk Drink
I sometimes have Nesvita Cereal Milk Drink for my breakfast. I have this cereal when I don’t have much time to prepare for my breakfast. This is available in different flavors and my favorite is Choco Malt Flavor. This is sold in different sizes of plastic packs and small …
Your Best Face (YBF) Defend
I was so lucky when I won a promo during our neighboring supermarket’s anniversary. Although YBF products are quite unfamiliar to me, I gave it a try that it might have some nice results.
I was really hesitant to apply it at first knowing that I have no experiences with …
Grace Tropical Rhythms Diet (Mango Carrot) juice
I decided to go on a juice diet some time ago earlier on this year so that I can work to having the perfect beach body for a trip that my crush was planning at the time. A part of the juice diet said that I needed to drink …
Blue Bell’s Strawberry and Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream
Ice cream is by far one of my favorite desserts, ever since I was a child there has never been a flavor that I did not like. That is until, I tried Blue Bells’ Strawberry and Homemade Vanilla flavor. I was disappointed when I tried this flavor, especially because …

Golden Home Ultra Thin Pizza Crust
I wanted to use my garden vegetables for a pizza last weekend and, as a result of that, ended up running to the local grocery store in search of some pizza crust.
Since my daughters don’t really like pizza with toppings, the plan was to buy two crusts, one for …
Snickers (Chocolate Bars)
I would admit, I am a chocolate monster. I do love chocolates and one of them is this very irresistible Snickers bars. Even if my husband would joke it is not good for my figures, I would just laugh it off and would not mind. After all he himself …

Pillsbury Parmesan Garlic Breadsticks
I generally really enjoy Pillsbury products whether it be the biscuits, deserts, or pastries, but I was really disappointed with the Parmesan Garlic Breadsticks. I was looking forward to having some hot breadsticks that were exploding with rich garlic and Parmesan flavor, but that is not what I got …
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 …
Goldstar Television
I have a Goldstar Television in my room. Although slightly lesser known than the branded and heavily advertised counterparts, Goldstar to its credit has been silently making high quality products that really do endure the test of time. I’ve had mine since 1999 when my sister wed and got …
Tesco Value Soft Cheese with Garlic and Herbs
Lately, I have not bothered buying the most well known brand of soft cheese as I have discovered that certain cheaper alternatives are just as nice if not nicer. I always like to have something like this in the fridge as for a snack you cannot beat soft …
Carl’s Jr.Double Western Bacon CheeseBurger
I have always been a fan of the Double Western Bacon CheeseBurger from Carl’s Jr. One thing I really love about he burger is the bacon! Oh god the bacon in this burger is just so awesome! I also love the cheese they put in it as well. Another thing …
Vodka Putinoff
Another of my Lidl products, it is cheap and it is good. You get half liter of Vodka for less than 5 euros, that’s some $5.
The first thing I like about this vodka is of course the price then the looks of the bottle. The bottle is transparent and …
Cher-Make Sausage Company Brand Bratwurst
Product Description: Pack of 9 bratwurst from the Cher Make Sausage Company out of Manitowoc, WI. I found this at our local Piggly Wiggly store last night for about $6.50.
What I liked about this product: First of all, the price was actually pretty reasonable for this brand. In comparison, …
Best Foods Olive Oil Mayonnaise Dressing
I’m not a huge fan of mayonnaise, but I do think a good sandwich lacks something if it’s made dry or with mustard only, so it’s important to me to have a GOOD mayonnaise to use in the background. A lot of mayonnaise is just offensive to me, …
Little Debbie 100 Calorie Gingerbread Cookies
I was disappointed with these Little Debbie 100 Calorie Gingerbread Cookies. The reason I found myself disappointed with these cookies is because of a lack of flavor. There was not much flavor to be tasted at all. It was almost like eating a crunchy piece of nothing. I will …
Oreo Cookies Ice Cream Blue Berry Flavor
I was shopping for food when I saw the new flavor for Oreo cookies. Honestly, I am not sure if this flavor is new as I am not an Oreo fan. Well, I brought it home and share it with my family. It comes out with 137g for the …
