Bath & Body Works Anti-Bacterial Hand Sanitizer
I keep one of these on my desk at work. It smells great! I love having it handy before meetings, when I'm not feeling well or when I get something sticky on my hands. Very portable size.

No Name Twists (Strawberry Flavour)
No name has a version of strawberry-flavoured licorice - regularly priced at 1,29$ at Real Canadian Superstore. It tasted pretty much exactly - if not exactly - like the brand name version. Certainly worth buying the No Name brand for this item!

This is one of my guilty pleasures when I am craving a salty snack. As mentioned by another reviewer, they are not healthy... but I do find them to be addictive with the mix of buttery Ritz crackers and the cheese inside. For this reason, I am glad they do come in Snack Packs so they are already portioned! -

This tea tasted similar to me to Red Rose tea - which is a plus for me. Although I agree that Red Rose orange pekoe tea isn't the best quality or the most flavourful, I like starting my day with that flavour! I like that the Yorkshire Tea comes in two connected tea bags, which works really well for making a pot of tea. I have found that it is important not to oversteep this tea. Personally, I found that 4-4 1/2 minutes is right for me for a pot of tea.
I appreciate that Yorkshire Tea is Rainforest Alliance Certified and that they care about the quality and the environment.

Breyers Family Classic Chocolatey Chip Cookie Dough Frozen Dessert

I love as well that this ice cream frequently comes on sale for about $2 - so it makes it a really affordable treat. This ice cream has some chocolate chip cookie dough balls in ice cream. I am a big fan of cookie dough! I would enjoy it more if there were more chocolate chip cookie dough chunks, if there was more chocolate and if the base ice cream was more flavourful (e.g., peanut butter base; chocolate base). That said, for this price, I continue to purchase it as it is certainly well worth the value and it tastes pretty good! -

Pepperidge Farm Baked Sweet Crisps
I was lucky enough to be able to try the cinnamon and chocolate flavours for free, thanks to save.ca and Checkout 51. I definitely much prefer the cinnamon flavour and found it to be spot on. I would definitely buy this flavour again when on sale... +
I was lucky enough to be able to try the cinnamon and chocolate flavours for free, thanks to save.ca and Checkout 51. I definitely much prefer the cinnamon flavour and found it to be spot on. I would definitely buy this flavour again when on sale. On the other hand, I don't think I would buy the chocolate flavour again. Although I do crave chocolate and enjoy chocolate flavour, I have found that I prefer chocolate that can melt in my mouth than crunchy chocolate! (News to me in trying the sweet crisps!) For those that enjoy a crunchy chocolate flavour, this may be perfect for them. -
Philadelphia Chocolate Cream Cheese

I first tried this on toast and I was not a big fan. However, I recently tried it in baking a chocolate orange cheesecake and it was FANTASTIC. I simply mixed 3 250g containers of the chocolate cream cheese, 3 eggs, about 1/2 tsp of orange extract and about 1/2 tsp of cinnamon for the filling. I expected to need to adjust the flavouring (especially the sweetness) but the sweetness in Philadelphia Chocolate Cream Cheese was perfect for the cheesecake. The cheesecake got raving reviews and I will certainly plan on making it again! -

I typically bake homemade cakes - but this week I needed something easier to make and this cake mix was on sale for $1 so I decided to give it a try. For this mix, only add water so that was certainly very simple. The raw batter tasted a bit too much like baking powder but the final product tasted pretty good. Don't underestimate the cake pan size as the batter does rise when baking. As weird as this may seem, the biggest challenge I found was following the instructions for after baking: "HANG pan upside down on heat-proof glass bottle until completely cool, about 1 1/2 hours." I don't have a heat-proof glass bottle and couldn't find anything else logical to hang it upside down from to cool so I just let it cool normally. I also followed the instructions with not greasing the pan, but that made it very difficult to get it out. In summary, for this price, this is something I would consider buying again if on sale and I needed a shortcut - it is however not quite as good as homemade and I would need to reflect on how to cool the cake better. -
Quaker Harvest Crunch Cereal Original
This may be my very favourite cereal. The oat bunches and nuts are simply delicious, and I love their abundance in this cereal. I also find that this holds well as a granola in yogurt.
