Enjoy the things you can afford
Brand: Trader Joes Cost: $4.99 Found at: Trader Joes Suspicious. That’s how I feel about these mints. Deeply suspicious. The bag claims that these little mint patties are made from only three ingredients: honey, chocolate liquor, and oil of peppermint. But I’m here to say that there’s no way.

Brand: Nākd. Cost: £1 Found at: Tesco At this point, I have never eaten a Bakewell tart, but I’ve eaten many things that are supposed to taste like Bakewell tarts. As far as I can tell, the original pastry is something akin to a pie made of jam and almond paste, and if it... Continue Reading →

So, when I see something marketed as a peanut delight, I expect a full peanut experience. I expect to taste nothing but... Continue Reading →
Brand: Cofresh Cost: £0.39 Found at: Tesco I am sure that there is such a thing as too much coconut. One day, I will eat something and think to myself: ‘that was a little too much coconut for me.’ I genuinely thought that this coconut bar might be the one to send me over... Continue Reading →
