Odd Reviews

So here's some odd reviews lately. Seeing as life has been interesting lately I have been eating in my car more. On my way to my parents place I needed to stop for groceries for them. And it was around noon. I decided to grab something from the deli counter to eat on the way there. I looked around. "Firecracker" chicken sandwich. $5? I was a little alarmed. for a cold cut style sandwich? I knew I could go to McDonald's and order a meal (with fries and a drink) for about the same. But something just looked so good about this unassuming sandwich. So, I grabbed a can of chips , and a bottle of water and ta da! Ready to go meal. Well I must say I was very pleasantly surprised. The sandwich was fantastic and much more satisfying than the McDonald's option. I wouldn't hesitate to do that again. Yesterday I had eaten a larger, later dinner (noon meal).... and had been invited to a friend's for light food in the evening, but I still knew I would want a little something so I wouldn't be absolutely ravenous at my friend's place. Enter snacks from the $1 store. My first buy was the off - brand "peach rings". A gummy that I had wanted to try for awhile. I was concerned that the flavor wouldn't be strong enough, because, you know, store brand. I couldn;t have been more wrong. The flavor was almost obnoxious it was so strong. And some of the pieces were discs, not rings, not that I cared. Next time, think I will try the name brand. Enter the store brand Walnuts. These were great, large pieces in about a 1/2 cup serving for $1. Would happily buy again. Hope everyone is keeping safe and warm in the cold snap! Photo: My Lot

I use to be a huge fan of gummy candies. I dont know why I outgrew them. I eat them when they are available but I don't buy them.

Sometimes that happens. As a kid I used to love Fun dip. As an adult I am not thrilled

The picture makes my mouth water. I have always been scared to try food, even candy from the one dollar stores. I always think of it was of real quality it wouldn't be in the $1 store.

That pic does look good, doesn't it? I wish they had those candies there. lol. I know it can be a bit nerve wracking - but I have heard that the off brands are usually made at the same place as anything else, just packaged differently.

I have to grab snacks sometimes when I am out mystery shopping. I usually bring something from home..but once in awhile I will grab something. Oftentimes I luck into the shops offering some food though..which of course I always avail myself of..

Have to say that I also have low expectations about own brand foods, but sometimes it is a pleasant surprise

Ah yes, sometimes they are equal to or even better than the name brands. Of course that doesn't always work out lol

@arthurchappell Oh cool what kinds of things do your pound stores have? True "dollar stores" where everything is a dollar - they usually have things like - paper goods, cleaners, toys, cards, bath items, décor, candy, sodas, small food items (chips, pasta, canned vegetables, )

Ah yes, that is true. I admit every once in awhile I get a craving for the fish sandwich, nuggets, or breakfast sandwhich - but usually I'm not thrilled with McD. The "Hunger Games" were a great series of movies
