Sam’s Cola
At 58 cents for a two liter bottle, Sam’s Cola beats Coke and Pepsi by a long shot, pricewise. At the same time it has good, classic Cola taste that is not any worse, in my opinion, than the above mentioned popular brand names. Sam’s Cola wastes no money …
Dove Mini Chocolate Hearts
What a great gift for a special someone in your life for any holiday! Not only for Valentines Day, but Dove Chocolate is great for any occassion. They have special chocolates for each holiday, regular mini square pieces for the off season. Whenever you bite into this chocolate you …
Kroger Natural Creamy Peanut Butter
Due to health reasons, I only buy peanut butter that is “natural”, meaning the only ingredients are roasted peanuts and either salt or salt and sugar (and possibly a little extra oil), so that I can avoid the trans fats in hydrogenated oils that are often included in other …

Tesco Value Chocolate Mousse
I went to Tesco with a money savvy friend recently who kept drawing my attention to all the bargains I may not have noticed before. On her recommendation I bought a four pack of the Tesco Value own brand of chocolate mousse for an astonishingly low 25 pence! …
Jolly Rancher hard candy
Too be honest Jolly Rancher candy sucks and is horrible and the candy sucks, plain and simple the candy is horrible. I don’t like how hard this garbage is because it feels as if it is meant to be impossible to bite and chew this candy which is annoying …
Ferrero Rocher Chocolates
The sight of Ferrero Rocher - with its trademark gold foil wrapping - never fails to make my mouth water. I’ve loved this chocolate ever since I first tasted it in elementary school. I didn’t even know what it was called then. I just referred to it as the …
Conching: Rosquillos
Its been a long time since I ate a true “Pinoy” food; Luckily as I went through some biscuits at the “snack section” of the Mercury Drug Store, I found a Rosquillos Biscuits. This is a simple biscuit made from sugar, wheat flour, margarine, and eggs. I missed the …
Magnolia Pinoy Sorbetes Ube Flavor
My mother who was born with defective heart valves and who continuous to defy medical science, lives by this mantra: try anything at least once in your life. This is the prevailing mantra in our house, even in our grocery shopping. We love trying anything new.
So there we were …
Pizza Hut Star Pops
Just a couple of months ago, I learned about Star Pops from a commercial. I do buy Pizza most of the time as a treat for my family whenever I received my paycheck. It is always a party at home whenever I bring home Pizza. I do bring two …
Lady’s Choice Mayonnaise
Mayonnaise is one of my favorite sandwich spread since I was a kid.And until now, I prefer using Lady’s Choice Mayonnaise when there’s any celebration to prepare. I just don’t used it as a sandwich spread but also I mixed it with a fruit or macaroni salad.
I like this …
Quorn Bacon Style Rashers
Many vegetarians seem to say that they miss the strong taste of bacon even if they do not want to go back to eating meat. I was a vegetarian for years before I discovered these bacon style rashers from Quorn but they are really tasty and I buy …
Manama Fruit Twist Green Lime Syrup
Hubby bought green colored lime syrup which he used to combine and mix with his own concoction of a cocktail drink. He bought Manama Fruit Twist Green Lime Syrup at Hypercity Mall in Malad.

Tai Pei General Tso’s Chicken for Two
I have purchased several Tai Pei dinners in the past and, while not great, they usually have proven to be a filling meal when I don’t feel like spending a great deal of time cooking and don’t want to spend a ton of money.
So, when I recently discovered Tai …
Arcor Butter Toffee with Chocolate Center
I first encountered Arcor’s Butter Toffee with a Chocolate Center when I was going to high school. This is one of the best toffees I have ever come across in my life. I don’t think any other toffee would beat it back, they can only come close.
I am chocolate …
Magnolia Pancake Plus
One in a while I indulge myself and eat a sinfully delicious stack of pancakes. I cook for one, but most packaging are for several people. I was glad that I saw Magnolia Pancake Plus in a 200g packaging in the grocery. The label said that it can make …
Krusteaz: Buttermilk Waffles
Krusteaz: Buttermilk Waffles are alright, although certainly nothing overly spectacular or memorable. They are basically square Eggo waffles really. In terms of taste, they are pretty much identical to the Eggo waffles. They work out to being about equal in size, too. I did enjoy them, but I did …
Asda Smart Price Tinned Rice Pudding
If I had to sum up this rice pudding in 3 words, I would say, creamy, tasty and cheap.
I normally buy a proper brand rice pudding or buy my own, but I spotted these one week in my local Asda store going on special offer of 5p each! The …
Sainsbury’s Chopped Tomatoes
This is another of those food cupboard staples that I try always to have at least a few units of in stock. Sainsbury’s, rather irritatingly to me, seem to have decided that cartons are a better way to sell these tomatoes than the traditional tins. I can understand that …
Freschetta PizzAmore 10-Topping Pizza
My wife had to run to the store late yesterday afternoon. And, since I had the baby and she wasn’t allowing me to cook, I had her pick up some frozen pizzas for dinner.
She came home with PizzAmore pizzas from Freschetta; including their 10-topping pizza.
While there were some things …
Friendly Farms Greek Blueberry Low Fat Yogurt
Friendly Farms Greek Blueberry Low Fat Yogurt can be purchased from ALDI Food Market stores for seventy-nine cents per six ounce container. Now ALDI is known for low prices and it’s certainly possible to purchase cheaper yogurt in the larger grocery stores like Walmart and Target, but this is …
MTR Badam Feast
I had recently bought MTR Badam Feast, a product of MTR Foods Limited. The main ingredients of this product are sugar, almond, skimmed milkpowder, cardamom and saffron. It is available in the form of powder. We can prepare badam drink with this powder just by adding 2 tsp of …
Amy’s Brown Rice and Vegetables Teriyaki Bowls
I bought Amy’s Organic Brown Rice and Vegetable Teriyaki Bowls on sale at my local Kroger grocery store for $3.44. The container is approximately ten ounces in size, more than enough for a hearty lunch for one person. I was drawn to the product because it is made …
Yuban Premium Coffee Dark Roast
I am a coffee lover, or I should say fanatic, and cannot live without the stuff. My preferred brands are Folgers and Yuban, but sometimes I will buy the bargain brand if I’m low on money. On a recent shopping trip, I thought I had found a really great …
Michelina’s Five Cheese Lasagna
I had Michelin’s Lean Gourmet five cheese lasagna the other night for the first time. This lasagna is a frozen dinner meal. It’s just the right size for me. My husband on the other hand would say there wasn’t enough food. If you don’t usually eat a large meal …
Brach’s Butterscotch Hard Candy
Having grown up as a life saver junkie, I tended to stay away from most other similar products and hard candies. Recently, though, I was given Brach’s Butterscotch Hard Candy and I sure did enjoy it.
Butterscotch, cinnamon, and peppermint are probably my two favorite flavors for life savers …
Gloria Cappuccino Vanilla
I went to the store about a month ago and I bought 1/2kg of Gloria coffee, with it I got gratis 1/4kg of Gloria cappuccino. It was rather good so when I ran out of it I decided to buy another one. I must admit that before that day …

I would like to review my favorite sweets of all time. I will start with one of the best chocolate in town. Toblerone Swiss, I love this chocolate because it taste different from other chocolates out there, first it has nougat, second it has honey, Although, i don’t think …
Hershey’s - Milk Chocolate Covered Pretzels
Hershey’s - Milk Chocolate Covered Pretzels are mildly tasty, although really, they are no better than the Flipz Milk Chocolated Covered Pretzels or the Nabisco brand, but they also are no worse. Just like the other brands, these pretzels are covered in a mildly present milk chocolate layer that …
Hot Box Cookies
Only in a college town would you expect to see a cookie shop with delivery service. That would be Hot Box Cookies in Columbia Missouri.
I love the story behind the shop. Three college students who were friends came up with the concept and opened their own business …
Jif Creamy Peanut Butter
So nothing special this time. Just the most popular peanut butter in the US. Maybe the second most popular, oк the third, I haven’t really checked the ratings. But for me, this is the best creamy peanut butter from the store so far. A few weeks ago I got on …
Food Club Stuffing Mix
My wife and I decided to make a couple turkey legs we had in our freezer the other night and, since turkey just isn’t the same without stuffing, I ran to the store to pick up some stuffing mix.
I didn’t have much of a selection at the store I …

My son is the great fan of cream biscuits. He loves and enjoys all kind of cream biscuits, but when I bought the Britannia treat cream biscuits, he enjoyed the taste of it very much. Britannia is a very big and famous company, which produces much kind …
TGI Fridays Buffalo Wings (Frozen)
If you want the taste of buffalo wings like you would get at a restaurant, but dont’t want to leave your house, try these great buffalo winfs by TGI fridays. They arn’t as good as if you had gne to the restaurant and purchased them, but they still …
McDonald’s Hamburger with Cheeses
OK how lame is this, McDonald’s has a dollar menu for what seems like forever with the star item being the “double cheeseburger” so when they decide to raise prices they make a play on words. Ok I get that our economy is in the whole right now and …
Old El Paso Soft Taco Dinner Kit
We decided to make tacos last night because we had some hamburger in our fridge and figured it would be something different.
When we looked in our cupboard to see what we needed, we discovered we had an Old El Paso Soft Taco Dinner Kit.
I have used dinner kits in …
Okeji Tempura Chips

Cheesy Ragu Light Parmesan Alfredo
It looks like a mayonnaise in a bottle or a sandwich spread, but Cheesy Ragu Light Parmesan Alfredo is something else. I bought this product out of curiosity when it says made with real cheese and the drawing on the bottle shows how you can add this on your …
Lucky Me Sweet Chili Pancit Canton
Pancit Canton sweet chili flavor is a new offering from “Lucky Me’s” instant pancit canton product Line Up. I remember eating a pack ever morning as breakfast matched with a piece of bread and juice would be the best breakfast ever. I often cooked the chili and calamansi …
Happy Farms Deluxe American Cheese Slices
Happy Farms Deluxe American Cheese Slices retails for three dollars and thirty cents for twenty-four slices. It’s a good cheese that I have no complaints towards, but it’s a cheese that I won’t be purchasing again simply because I can get the same exact cheese and the same number …
Merced Bakeshop Choco Moist Marshmallow Icing Cake
It was my brother’s birthday and one of his guests was gracious enough to give him a Merced Brand of Chocolate Cake. I really have only heard about Merced’s Bakeshop but have not been able to visit their bakeshops myself. People have been raving about how good their empanadas …
Blue Bell Banana Pudding Half Gallon Ice Cream
Being from the South, it is only natural that banana pudding be on my must-have list of desserts. I’m always on the lookout for banana pudding ice cream, but I could never find any until I was shopping in super Wal-Mart. It must have been in the cards for …
Dieter’s delight tea
There is a lot of dieter’s tea on the market and some of them are from China. I used the one called Dieter’s delight tea for dieting and I can tell you that it has some safety issues there. The tea is for you to control your appetite …
Kit Kat strawberry bar
I loooove Kit Kat bars (mint Kit Kats and peanut butter Kit Kats are the ones I could sell my soul for), but I had to teach myself not to eat those XXL chocolate bars every day for the sake of my health. Gradually, I stopped buying them at all, …
Kurmura Ladoo Rice ball Sweets
Christmas is just around the corner and giving sweets is one of the main things I wanted to offer for my lovely godchildren and for my beautiful niece. Kids do enjoy eating sweets so I prefer to give them something which is not purely sugar in content so that …
Ferrero Rocher hazelnut chocolate
Ferrero Rocher hazelnut chocolate was my choice of candy for conducting an inexpensive treat. This is a perfect economic candy which is high in quality and rich in its contents. Ferrero Rocher is looking great in its round shape and small pieces of nuts embedded in dark chocolate. And …
Multi Grain cheerios
The other day I was at my friends house and I spent the night so when morning came around I was pretty hungry for breakfast. There wasn’t really anything good to eat. I didn’t want any pop tarts that were high in sugar and there wasn’t much good …
Talenti Tahitian Vanilla Bean Gelato
After trying Talenti’s Pistachio Gelato I knew that I was hooked on the brand and would try as many of their products as I could. One flavor that I recently tried was the Tahitian Vanilla Bean. I purchased the product at Kroger for $3.75 for a single pint …
