I bought a box containing four protein bars from Wal Mart for $3. The bars are the perfect mix of crispy and chewy. The tops of the bars are created with protein nuggets, semi-sweet chocolate chips, a mix of whole grains/oats, as well as roasted almonds. They are dipped in milk chocolate on the bottom. The chocolate flavours in the bar come through nicely to provide a mild sweetness. I also get a unique light taste of anise/licorice from the protein nuggets, which I love. I don't taste any protein powder taste at all. The almonds add a nutty texture and crunch, but there are not many in the bar. Each bar contains 12 grams of protein and is only 160 calories, which is quite light for a protein bar. I'd buy these again, as they are delicious and a great price. One of my favourite protein bars. -
Fritos Hoops Bar-B-Q Flavour

A large bag of these can be found at Dollarama for $2. They also tend to have smaller portion-sized bags in the vending machine at my work. These corn chips are delicious and crunchy. I like the unique hoop shapes, which make them easy to eat. There are a large number of hoops in every bag, since they are small, which makes it feel like there's more to snack on. They have a delicious mixed barbecue and ketchup taste. There isn't any overpowering heat from the barbecue seasoning, which I enjoy. The seasoning blend is spread generously on the chips, making every hoop flavorful since it's full of seasoning. These are my favourite chips. -
Bakery 18: Cheese Garlic Bun

I bought this at Metro for $1.09. These are hard to find and most Metro's do not sell them. These buns are egg-free and nut-free, which makes them great for school or for people with allergies. They come individually wrapped in a microwave-safe bag, making it easy to put into the microwave for a few seconds to get it toasty and warm. The garlic sauce on top of the bread is delicious and savoury. It reminds me of a flavourful parmesan, garlic, and salt blend.The bread itself is mildly sweet, soft, and fluffy. It is a very unique textured and tasting bread, similar to other Asian style breads I've got from T&T;. This tastes great with dinner after being warmed in the microwave for a 30 seconds. I'd buy it again in a heart beat. -

I got a pack of these granola bars from Dollar Tree for $1.25 for five bars. They are dipped in white chocolate at the bottom. The white chocolate layer is quite thin, so the chocolate taste doesn't come through much at all. The top of the bar is made of crispy honey cereal that is similar in texture to Corn Flakes. There is a prominent honey taste, which makes the flavour unique and enjoyable. The bar is crispy and crunchy. It has a mild sweetness but is not as sweet as one might expect. Each granola bar is individually wrapped. The bars contains 110 calories each. They are not the best quality bars but they are good for a quick side for lunch or snack. I'd eat them again. -

This bottle combines the refreshing taste of water with the carbonation of pop. It is easy to drink without feeling sick and helps me get some of my water intake for the day. I buy a 1 L bottle for $1 at Loblaws. There are some that come with a hint of flavour, but I prefer this one. The taste of this is a bit less bitter than the flavoured ones. This tastes refreshing over ice in the summertime. Is good to curb cravings for something fizzy. It tastes good mixed with other juices, such as lemonade. Each bottle is 0 calories. -

I got a 540 mL can of this soup from Wal Mart for around $2. Each portion of 250 mL contains 100 calories, making it a fairly light soup. One downside I found is there is quite a lot of sodium in this soup. This has a savoury tomato broth which lacks nothing in terms of flavour. The spices and herbs in the broth are delightful. It contains a large amount of shell-shaped pasta, kidney beans, and an assortment of vegetables, such as carrots, potatoes, green beans, and celery. The kidney beans add a hearty taste to the soup. The pasta is soft but not mushy in texture.
The soup is easy to make in all you have to do is heat it up in a sauce pan on the stove for a few minutes on medium heat and then put it in a thermos for lunch. I like bringing a can of this soup with crackers for a balanced lunch. For me, one 540 mL can does one person. I plan to keep buying this soup.

I just started taking these a few months ago after my dietician suggested it might be a good idea, even without confirmed vitamin deficiencies. She told me the things to look for at my age are calcium, vitamin D, vitamin C, and folate. One thing I did notice when comparing this to other vitamins is the amount of each vitamin is often extremely high in this compared to others, and some surpass the daily recommended intake from my understanding. This pill is to be taken daily and with food. I do find that it often upsets my stomach after I take it or causes me to have a headache, especially if I have not drank much water that day. It's also important to not take other medications without a few hours of taking this. The pill is quit large. I got a bottle of around 250 of these for close to $25 at Wal Mart. -

I love the taste of garlic, so I just had to try this. This is simple to cook up in a short amount of time, and makes for a great side to any main dish. It only takes about 15 minutes to make. The garlic sauce is creamy, garlicky, and delicious. There is enough garlic flavour to satisfy garlic lovers, like myself, but it is not overpowering for those who aren't huge fans. The pasta is shell-shaped which helps hold all the delicious sauce, as it gets into the interior of the shells. The pasta is small and easy to eat. It can also be cooked with a bit of a bite or softer, depending on taste preference. Personally, I do not add any margarine or butter and find it tastes delicious and creamy without it, especially if served while still warm. This can be purchased from Wal Mart of Loblaws and is often on sale at four for $5. I will buy again. -

These are buttery crackers with a soft crunch. They are great eaten alone, topped with cheese and/or cold cuts, or crushed and put over chicken to bake. They are a decent price and can sometimes be found at three boxes for $6 at Wal Mart. These crackers are lightly salted for those who like the salty taste without it being too much. These are great as part of lunch. -

I buy these from either Dollarama for under $1 each or from Wal Mart at a price of two for $1.75.The outside of the bar has a nice thin layer of milk chocolate. The chocolate is not top quality but it does the trick and adds a nice layer of sweetness to the peanuts, caramel, and nougat inside. Each bar is filled with peanuts and has a strong peanut taste, which is great for peanut lovers like myself. The peanuts also help to cut down on the sweetness of the bar. The caramel is rich and combines well with the thick nougat. This bar is chewy and crunchy because of the soft nougat and the crunchy peanuts. The textures work very nicely together. These chocolate bars are 250 calories each and make for a great after-dinner treat. I plan to keep buying these. -
