The whole family loves these. My teenagers pop them in the toaster and do them that way, however, I like them baked crispy on a baking sheet in the oven, even though it takes just a little bit longer. Our local Sobeys grocery store seems to have these on sale quite often lately, which makes it even better. -

I tried this after the girls at work insisted on it, as I drink a lot of water in the run of the day and they thought I should try something with more taste. I tried several flavours, and found it to make my water taste powdery and fake - I did not enjoy it all. That being said, my teenage sons asked to try it, and they love it, which means that they have been drinking more water than usual. I guess it's a matter of taste - unfortunately, not at all to my taste. -
McCain Breakfast Dollar Chips
We just tried these over the long weekend and all agree - they will be a staple in our freezer from here on out. They were crispy, not greasy, and tasted fresh. We added a little bit of seasoning to them as they were cooking to make them "ours"... +

Kellogg's Raisin Bran Cereal
This has always been one of my favorites, but my kids now love it, as well (since I got them to try it with a spoonful of brown sugar on top). I think that's a much healthier alternative to the sugar filled choices they used to try to talk me into... +
This has always been one of my favorites, but my kids now love it, as well (since I got them to try it with a spoonful of brown sugar on top). I think that's a much healthier alternative to the sugar filled choices they used to try to talk me into, and the fact that we all agree on it makes for a simpler shopping list! -
Clinique Happy Perfume
I love the scent of this perfume, however, I tend to use it only with the sample sizes that come with the "gift with purchase" events at Clinique, as I find it to be too expensive for a scent that does not last long once applied. The scent is fresh... +
I love the scent of this perfume, however, I tend to use it only with the sample sizes that come with the "gift with purchase" events at Clinique, as I find it to be too expensive for a scent that does not last long once applied. The scent is fresh and summery, which I love, but I find it dissipates quickly and needs to be reapplied more often then other perfumes. -
G.H. Cretors Chicago Mix Popcorn
Love this - I actually have to hide it from my teenage sons, and this is one of the few snacks I don't share down to the last bite! It's a little pricey for a snack, but every now and then you need to treat yourself right? I love the combination... +
Love this - I actually have to hide it from my teenage sons, and this is one of the few snacks I don't share down to the last bite! It's a little pricey for a snack, but every now and then you need to treat yourself right? I love the combination of sweet and salty, and the balance is just right. -
Dairy Queen Peanut Buster Parfait
This is a treat to myself a few times a year (luckily for my hips I don't live close to Dairy Queen or it would be far more often then a few times a year!). It has been one of my favorites for years, and has never really changed... thick chocolate... +
This is a treat to myself a few times a year (luckily for my hips I don't live close to Dairy Queen or it would be far more often then a few times a year!). It has been one of my favorites for years, and has never really changed... thick chocolate over peanuts and creamy ice cream - what's not to love? -
Yves Rocher — Polishing Foot Scrub
Although the foot scrub worked well, I will not be buying it again as I really did not care for the smell. I'm not usually over sensitive to smells, but the combination of these ones actually caused my to "stuff up" and the smell really seemed to... +
Although the foot scrub worked well, I will not be buying it again as I really did not care for the smell. I'm not usually over sensitive to smells, but the combination of these ones actually caused my to "stuff up" and the smell really seemed to linger. It's too bad, as the effect on my feet was very positive after just two uses, but the scent has made it impossible for me to use. -
Smuckers Pure Strawberry Jam
This is a family favorite, not just strawberry but all the flavours. It's sweet without tasting syrupy and is fantastic to use for baking purposes. It goes on sale quite often at Sobeys (and seems to be an Air Miles Bonus quite often as well), so... +
This is a family favorite, not just strawberry but all the flavours. It's sweet without tasting syrupy and is fantastic to use for baking purposes. It goes on sale quite often at Sobeys (and seems to be an Air Miles Bonus quite often as well), so I tend to stock up on all the flavours and keep it in the house. -
Heinz Pure White Vinegar
I always have this in my house, for both cooking and cleaning purposes. I have used store brands in the past, thinking "it's vinegar, how different can it be?", but I have gone back to Heinz. There is a difference in the sweet and sour sauce I... +
I always have this in my house, for both cooking and cleaning purposes. I have used store brands in the past, thinking "it's vinegar, how different can it be?", but I have gone back to Heinz. There is a difference in the sweet and sour sauce I make when I use the store brands, so Heinz it is for cooking! -
