Planters BBQ Peanuts

I'm not the person to snack on peanuts, unless they're super flavoured like these are. B/c they're flavoured like BBQ chips are they're sweet and smokey and I can eat handfuls of them. So basically this is how you get me to eat peanuts as a snack. They are fresh and crunchy, and it is a resealable bag so they can stay fresh for awhile. These are way better than plain peanuts for making trail mix as it adds to the sweet & salty combo. -
Maynards Swedish Berries
Yes, these are perfect. I first fell in love with them as a kid at the local rink where they sold them for a penny each... I'll have 100 please. They're tiny and small, the perfect size to hold you over for a bit. They're super sweet and fruity... +
Yes, these are perfect. I first fell in love with them as a kid at the local rink where they sold them for a penny each... I'll have 100 please. They're tiny and small, the perfect size to hold you over for a bit. They're super sweet and fruity and perfect to squish between your fingers too. They did come in a rainbow of flavours before, but these red raspberry ones were always the best tasting. -

I tried the coconut milk magnolia one and wasn't very impressed. B/c it was an aerosol spray the lotion formula was too light and weak for my liking. After rubbing it in it felt like I hadn't done anything, it wasn't a lasting soothing or moisturizing lotion. I feel regular lotions and creams were way more effective at hydrating. The spray was a neat idea though and it was good for spraying my back and backs of the shoulders which I normally don't really reach. I also thought the bottle got used up too quickly, it doesn't last as long as a bottle of lotion does. -
Nescafe Ice Java Cappuccino
I liked it. It's just like the iced coffees they sell everywhere; not the slurpee kind but the kind they pour over ice. I thought it tasted exactly the same as the restaurants sell, but there is variation to the flavour depending on how you mix it... +
I liked it. It's just like the iced coffees they sell everywhere; not the slurpee kind but the kind they pour over ice. I thought it tasted exactly the same as the restaurants sell, but there is variation to the flavour depending on how you mix it and with what amounts of the product you pour. I liked it best mixed with milk watered down a little and pour over just a few cubes of ice (I don't like when they sell it and the entire cup is ice cubes). No need to add sweeteners b/c there's a lot of sugar in the syrup. I like that it's a sweet cold coffee drink/dessert drink that I can control the amount of ice in. And it's a lot cheaper to mix this at home than to buy it out someplace. -

I've used this a lot since purchasing it. It's basically an Egg McMuffin Machine. Super easy to get the hang of and it cooks and assembles the sandwich and heats it through. I've found it best to wait to add the 2 pieces of English muffin until the last 2 minutes of cooking, otherwise they would get burnt. The thing takes about 5 minutes to heat up with an indicator light, and then you put in the egg and cheese and use your own timer to cook it for 5 minutes. That's the only flaw; that it doesn't have it's own timer and it doesn't tell you when it's done. It's easy to slide the cooked product onto a plate. It stays really clean too, as the layer of egg residue left on the grill plate cooks dry afterwards and it just peels off in one piece, so really there's nothing dirty left on the machine to clean off (it comes apart so you can wash the grill parts). -

I got this around one Christmas when these products were all the rage and I still whip it out today. It's really effective at sanding away the dry skin and you actually get to see how much comes off when you clean the device out. It's very gentle and there's no way it can knick your skin, I haven't had issue with it being too abrasive or anything. My feet go through 2 dry patches a year when the major seasons change and this is really handy at cleaning that up and speeding up the recovery process. It's quiet and easy to use when watching TV. Perfect for using around the heels. -
McDonald's McCafé Iced Coffee

I love the flavour of the creamy vanilla iced coffee they make, it's sweet and ice cold on a hot day. But I don't like this version as much as the ones that are more of a coffee slurpee. This one is the flavoured cold coffee poured over top of an entire cup filled to the brim with ice cubes. That's the part I don't like. I would never find it acceptable to be given a cup of soda by them that had this much ice in it, which is why I order my sodas sans ice. Basically I feel they're ripping us off by giving us 25% drink, and 75% ice. It's gone too fast b/c nothing is in it. But it's delish... just want more delish for my dollar. -
Dollar Store Bag Clips

I had a bunch of these, but I tend to use jaw clips more often. My problem with these was that the bend/elbow is plastic and with multiple uses they kept breaking. And they didn't have enough strength to clasp large product bags or sometimes just folded over bag tops. And they could be the wrong length for wider openings too. They were good to try, and worked well in the beginning. -
Kraft BBQ Ranch Salad Dressing

I love that this is a new unique flavour, so I had to give it a try. It's nice and creamy like a salad dressing, but sweet like bbq sauce. I thought of the 2 flavours it was overwhelmingly more bbq, as I couldn't taste the ranch like you would expect. I didn't like it as much as regular ranch on my salad. But I do think this version works great/better at other things; it's fab on a stacked hamburger. I would pair it with hot dogs, or use it as a dip for heartier things. -

We use these every weekend at the riverside around our fire pit. They're a must for being out at night. I'm into the smell of them too, kind of like incense. I've actually watched a mosquito flying straight and when it hits the waft of coil smoke it then starts flying erratically like it's in trouble. There is a noticeable relief to sitting in the breeze of a coil to nothing at all. Make sure they're downwind. We put them on tables and on the ground around us. To help not tip over the ones on the ground we use short metal buckets to put them in, and place them on top of empty upside down tin cans inside the bucket. And if you go in at night and they're still burning, just break off the cherry and store the unused part for later. (Sidenote: I'm a pro at getting the new in box coils apart, and getting them apart without breaking is fun like solving rubix cubes for me.) -
