Archive Finally found some of this today, in my local IGA at $2.85 for a 1.25l bottle. Now I’m not a big Coke drinker, but I’ve enjoyed a “proper” Coke & espresso combo in the past so had high hopes for this. Unfortunately, I was disappointed … I’m finding it hard to describe the flavour without being brutal. Caramel and bitter, if I’m generous. Smell reminds me of an ashtray. I really don’t like it, and shudder to think how much caffeine is in it … September 29, 2017
Archive I like a lot of ALDI products, but their version of a Mars Bar is horrible ?? … September 22, 2017
Archive Margaret River’s famous Simmo’s ice cream is now available in all Coles stores and selected IGA stores throughout WA. There’s 3 great flavours – vanilla, crispy white chocolate tease (with milk chocolate malt balls) and burnt caramel swirl (unsurprisingly my favourite). Support a great local brand and add them to your next shop. … September 7, 2017
Archive Found these new Honeycomb Maltesers in Coles today for $3 a bag. Unfortunately I was disappointed. The smell of honeycomb when you open the bag didn’t carry through to the flavour, and after a few I wondered why I was bothering. Real balls of Crunchie would be so much better. … September 5, 2017
Archive The other two flavours in this range – Southern fried chicken and tacos at midnight – were okay, but these are just odd. Actually, they’re quite unpleasant. I have no idea where the “kebab” flavour comes from. Straight in the bin … September 4, 2017
Archive My new favourite sauce, from Freo based Dingo Sauce Co. I’ve got much hotter in the cupboard but this is a great go-to chilli hit that goes with just about anything. Particularly awesome with scrambled eggs. … I bought this bottle from Ginger B Gifts in Wembley (and the State Buildings in the CBD), a boutique gift shop that specialises in local artisan products and custom gift baskets … August 25, 2017

Archive ALDI sell this “American Style” peanut butter alongside their standard offering, which like most ALDI products is just different, not of lesser quality. … I was attracted to this one because I find most peanut butter way too sweet. This huge jar was about $4.50 (from memory), nearly half the cost of full-price Kraft. … I was expecting something a lot more roasted and salty in flavour, and this is really just another variation on the theme, not a “style”. It’s less sweet than others, and a definite bargain at the price … August 24, 2017
Archive I was beginning to wonder if they actually existed, but finally found these two. … The Mint Slice is a winner, and is as it looks on the packet – a wagon-wheel sized puck with a chocolate biscuit base, filled with soft mint ice cream and coated with a thin layer of chocolate. Excellent. … The Caramel Crowns tastes like a decent caramel milkshake with small biscuit pieces in it. Nice, but it’s not going to beat the mint. … Fans of stay tuned – it’s about to get a life of its own… … August 4, 2017
