This is my go-to seasoning when making rice and other dishes like chicken, and even when I make potatoes boiled and smothered with butter. Because of the saffron, it adds a slight yellow coloring to the food, and makes it taste so nice. I always make sure that my house is stocked with a good amount of it so I don't run out. I even give friends packets to take home with them sometimes for them to try out and they end up asking me where to buy it cause they end up loving it after one try. It is a definate must have. This too has other flavors, but I find this one to be my favorite. -

Growing up around alot of Dominicans, I've been using this stuff since I was lvery young, and I use it in EVERYTHING that I cook in place of just plain salt and pepper, and I mean EVERYTHING, including something as simple as Kraft Dinner, or even a package of Ramen noodles, even microwave popcorn.
There is a few other flavors and they are good too, but I prefer this one (the one with the red lid), its not too spicy and not overly salty. If I could, I would carry a bottle in my purse to use when I eat out too, but I haven't found a small enough bottle to carry around with me yet lol. But if they ever make sample sizes or single use packs, I'm definately stocking up ! HAHA.
I definately suggest trying this out.

Lays Chocolate Covered Potato Chips

I think I'm the only person who didn't like these chips. The bag cost 4.99 and when I opened it, there was barely anything in it ! Not to mention, the chips looked NOTHING like the picture on the bag, you would expect them to look similar at least. There is no indication on the bag that the chocolate only covers one side of the chip. I really did not enjoy these at all, and find it was a waste of money. For the price of it, you would expect to get more chips than what is in the bag.
I did a first impressions taste test video about it awhile back on my youtube channel

I have loved these since I was a little girl, and now I have passed that love on to my daughter. These are so tasty, not too sweet, and just the right amount of crunch in the candy coating. I love that here in Canada they are now available all year round instead of only at Easter. Definately worth every penny. -

I first bought this product because I was sent a coupon for a free trial, had I had to buy it on my own, I might not have, because where I go shopping, they are expensive, nearly 8$ for 4 bottles. I only tried the chocolate flavor so far, and it was not bad. I wouldn't say great, but wouldn't say horrible either. It definately needs to be chilled before drinking it, that's for sure. The taste is smooth, but it has a strange after taste, at least for me anyhow. I don't really see a difference between drinking this or a slim fast shake or an ensure shake. I would definately say try it for yourself, its not bad, but in my opinion, too expensive for me. Maybe if it were cheaper I would buy it more often. -

I saw this stuff in Walmart, and it was under 5$, so I decided to try it, and OMG, was it ever worth every penny ! The first thing I thought when I opened the jar was how pleasant it smells. It smells like almonds and cherry, such a sweet combination. It really works as it says it does, and I noticed that my nails have become alot stronger since using it. I used to always have acrylic nails done, and once I stopped, my natural nails were brittle and always breaking. Not since using this ! And the thing I love best about this product, is that you can use it over any nail polish, so it doesn't have to only be used on bare nails. It lasts a long time too, because you only need a tiny amount per nail for it to do its job. I mean tiny, like, smaller than pea sized. -

I absolutely HATE this stuff !
I don't know if maybe I used too much, but it left my freshly washed hair feeling stiff and greasy. Almost as if I had put a lot of gel and hair spray in my hair, but this was the only product I used. I am glad that what I used was only a sample, because had I paid money for this, I would have been very disappointed. I like my hair to feel soft and touchable after washing/blowdrying it, not feel like cardboard !
Definately do not recomend this.
I got better results doing a blowout with NO product in my hair !

Horrible, horrible, HORRIBLE !!
Saw this at Dollarama, for 3$ so I thought I'd give it a go, and what a waste of money ! It takes about 4 coats to become opaque enough, and the scents are NOTHING like what the packaging says it smells like ! So I thought maybe I got a bad batch or maybe it was getting old, so decided to order some online and pay more money, BAD IDEA ! Even the newer set I got smelled horrible and nothing like what scent it should've been, and still, some were gloppy and didn't go on properly, and the ones taht did, again, took about 3-4 coats to be opaque enough. Good for kids as a stocking stuffer, MAYBE, but definately not worth the money if you are paying alot for it.

Downy Unstopables In-Wash Scent Boosters - FRESH

I am so in love with these ! Especially the deodorant one (i forget what its called), the scent lasts so long, and you only need a little bit per load (depending on how intense of a scent you want), so a little goes a long way, and the bottles last quite awhile (again, depending on how much you use and how often you do laundry). Definately well worth the money. I also use the beads for things other than laundry. I use them in shoes as odor eaters, and also I've found a way to use this as inexpensive homemade fabric freshener (sort of like febreeze). So many uses for this. Definate must have in every household ! -

I was walking through Dollarama one day and my lips were so dry and I needed something fast that would work, out of the selection they had, these were the only ones whose flavors didn't make me wanna gag (I'm very fussy about the flavor of lip balms I use). So I bought them, and instantly loved them. I love how soft the formula is, and how soft it leaves my lips and they never feel waxy like most lip balms I've tried. I go through at least 1 or 2 tubes a month, especially in winter. -
