One word: AMAZING!
Bought this product yesterday from No Frills for only $2.97. Package contains 4 - 140 ml ball top cones.
I tried the chocolate ice cream ones topped with a milk chocolatey coating, pecans and toffee.
From first bite I fell in love. The taste is just....amazing, rich, smooth, creamy...SINFUL! The toffee and pecan topping is superb. This product is quite affordable. You get a descent sized cone, top notch quality for a more than affordable price. A wonderful dessert. Overall, I am extremely pleased with this product, even surprised. I am definitely going to recommend it to all my family and friends and will buy some more today.

Today I went to No Frills and thought I'd give VH Steamers a try. I am not the sort of person who would usually purchase a frozen meal such as VH Steamers but I had a BOGO coupon that I obtained from VH on their Facebook page. No Frills sells them for $2.97 each. Luckily with my coupon, I was able to get 2 for the price of one. Hubby and I decided to try them for a light lunch. Here's what we thought.
1) Easy instructions to follow for microwave. It didn't take very long to cook. It has a bowl with the sauce at the bottom and a steam basket with the ingredients. Covered with a plastic film which did not require to be punctured as it is self steaming. We liked that part.
2) Once done, you lift the film. I actually burned my finger from the steam so be careful because it's very HOT.
3) Tastes very good. The Thai sauce was just wonderful. My meal had 5 small shrimps and 3 medium strips of chicken, some small carrots julienne style , some broccoli and red peppers, and noodles. The overall taste was good. I found the sweetness of the sauce balanced the vegetables.
4) Quantity: I was a bit disappointed about the portion size. This meal is definitely not for someone who is hungry. For $3 I expected more quantity. Perhaps make some rice and add it to it or as a side dish. This is more suited for someone on a diet who's concerned about portion size, or someone working in an office who 's not doing much activity and needs a light snack, or even for someone who doesn't have time to cook. Otherwise, I would not buy this for myself in the future as I am an avid cook and I like to prepare all my meals at home.
Overall, I am satisfied with the quality of this product, but I am dissatisfied with the quantity provided.

I got to try Clairol's new Natural Instincts 10 min with color fresh which I bought with a FPC. I was excited to use it as I needed to cover lots of grey hairs. I figured I'd spruce up my look right before Christmas. I was very pleased with the fragrance. No harsh chemical odors at all. I was pleased with the end results. The colour was nice, and it left my hair feeling smooth and silky. However, the dye kept running for several weeks after the initial colouring and in the process it stained two of my white towels. I was not happy. They should warn the consumer that this will likely happen once done. I would not recommend it to anyone unless you want to damage your linens. -

This is my absolute favorite perfume of all times. It's got a light scent of sandalwood and citrus. Perfect for those summer months. Leaves you feeling fresh. In my opinion it's well worth the $75/100ml bottle. A full bottle can last me for 6 months if used every day. I usually purchase this at the cosmetics counter at The Bay. -

I was never a big fan of Ivory soap bars, until I came across Ivory Simply Aloe scented soap bars. What attracted me to it in the first place was the price. $1.49 for a package of 3 bars. Best decision I ever made! It smells great and if feels great. I'm glad they finally decided to change their formula a bit and add a nice fragrance to their soap. The one thing I hate is a harsh smelling bar of soap or an unscented one. Whats the point of using a bar if it doesn't leave you smelling good and feeling fresh after a shower? Anyways, I just love the smell and I love the price and I will keep buying this product each month from now on. -

I recently got a coupon off Facebook for a free tub of Cottonelle's Fresh Flushable Moist Wipes. I was able to redeem my coupon at Food Basics where it normally retails for $3.59. I immediately loved the packaging. It came in a nice one touch distribution case and even had an EasyReach hanger if one wanted to hang the dispenser. Each tub contains 42 moist wipes. The wipes have a pleasing light fragrance. Very soft. I use wipes after going to the bathroom. Its great if you want to feel fresh. Best part is that they are flushable and break up like toilet paper after flushing. I would recommend this for sure. -

I was lucky enough to receive 6 packets of Crystal Light samples via Facebook. I must say that at first I was skeptical of this product. I had heard about it before, and I think my mother in law uses it but I had never tried it before. Getting free samples is always a good way to break the ice. Anyways, I tried their Strawberry-Orange-Banana flavour and their Raspberry flavour and it was to die for! My husband even tried their Lime one and he loved it. I must say I was quite surprised. Each stick (individual packet) is dissolved in 500 ml of water, and only has 5 calories. So, not only does it taste great but it's good for your hips. Great for putting in a water bottle at work or if out walking or jogging. Very refreshing. Definitely better than Cool-Aid! My only issue is the price. For a little box of 10 packets it cost almost $3. It's good as a treat. -
