Let's face it - cottage cheese is not something beloved of a lot of people. i quite enjoy it but it took me time. But wow - with the wonderful flavour of this version of Nordica's smooth cottage cheese, I can almost not believe that (aside from the sugar in it) this stuff is very healthy! Beautiful bright meld of blueberry and acai berries, loads of protein and not as sugary as a lot of sweetened products, this for makes a very cheery breakfast. It's a bit like light cheesecake - maybe one made with quark - minus the crust but with a big whack of protein compared to cream cheese. I can easily foresee spreading this on a toasted blueberry waffle, along with actual blueberries for a wonderful breakfast, or else a healthyish protein packed dessert. :-9 Thank you Nordica, this stuff tastes amazing! This product would be a great way to get people who don't like cottage cheese to try some. -

In general I like febreze. I was looking forward to this one - it sounded and looked like it would be a pleasant and refreshing floral fragrance. How wrong i was! I can't believe this horrid scent still sells while they have discontinued their heavenly lavender vanilla sleep spray which was the absolute bomb. :(
I got this as an air freshener but discovered it's basically an air worsener, for lack of a better description. yes I know it's not a real word but damn, that's what it did! Ugh! Air freshener is supposed to make things smell better. Not this version - spring and renewal? What were they smoking to name the scent that? Quite honestly it smells like garbage mixed with fake flowers. You could not pay me to purchase this scent of febreze again!

Campbell's Chunky Butter Chicken Soup

Butter chicken as a soup? Count me in! After trying their Chicken Sausage Gumbo which is amazing, I thought I'd be brave and give this one a try. I was excited to taste it but alas.... I was ultimately disappointed as it didn't live up to its name. Had they called it Indian chickpea soup I would still have bought it and at least not been confused when it didn't taste like actual Butter Chicken.
It is a nice Indian-spiced soup with a lot of chickpeas. Doubtless very healthy due to all the fibre but I and my BF were disappointed as it tastes only vaguely of butter chicken. They really ought to have called it something else.

Lactania PurFiltre 3.25% Milk

Milk that tastes like milk and not with a back taste of barn? I didn't think that was even possible until I ended up with this one time. Now I look for it because it is very good milk compared to the non-filtered types. Its sweet and creamy and it keeps better than standard full fat milk, which is a bonus. Most places it costs a bit more but I have discovered that some Petrocan's stock it in their attached stores in the cooler at a cheaper price than I can get it otherwise. Even the 2% tastes like full fat. I just wish it wasn't as hard to get during the pandemic because it is not stocked for example at Superstore or Loblaws from what I've seen. -

I got this on sale, thinking it would be good as a meal in an emergency. I wasn't expecting much. But Campbell's knocked this one out of the park. It has a rich flavourful tomato-based broth, with large chunks of chicken and lots of thin slices of andouille sausage as well as veggies. The broth is spicy but not wildly so. Quite honestly it did not taste at all canned. I bought some more but my boyfriend ate that can and when I tried to get more they were out. I will be buying more of this. It was quite delicious. It wasn't even too salty compared to most prepackaged soups. really this one is more of a stew than a soup. -
Cature brand Tofu Cat Litter

I found this stuff while looking for a cat litter that was safe for cats AND the environment, that clumped and was flushable. As weird as the concept of tofu cat litter is, it does all those things. I have tried two kinds of tofu cat litter so far, via Amazon, and the Cature brand was by far the best of the two. Cature makes other types of litter, for example wood pellet litter, none of which I've tried.
It's not cheap but it really lasts, so you get what you pay for. Half a small bag lasted me 2 weeks for one cat... and without stinking, nothing short of a miracle. It's super absorbent.
One weird thing abut the product is the scent. Some brands come in green tea and also charcoal, but some come just in "milk tea" scent. Tofu cat litter was invented in Asia and is popularly available there. But it is rather new here in North America. Most types are labelled by scent - but instead of saying scent they say, no word of a lie -> flavour- which, for cat litter is a terrible concept. I blame bad translations from some Asian language. This particular was labelled as "milk tea flavour". No, I did not taste it! Neither did the cat. :) But it did smell like vanilla pudding, which is just bizarre. But at least it didn't stink!
Its one failing is nearly always being out of stock. That lead me to trying a different brand - one from Canada and that one, out of Richmond BC called Rich Meow, which isn't as good at odour suppression..
