Welcome to My Supermarket Food Challenge!!



Hello world!!

My name is Amanda, and I am a food lover!! Recently I have been overcome with a deep desire to expand my food palette and broaden my language barriers. And I every time I go to the supermarket I see all these amazing products that I want to try someday but know I will never get to, so I am taking it upon myself to start the challenge of purposefully trying at least two items a week to begin with, until I have tried them all. This will obviously be a continuing challenge as things in the supermarket change all the time. Any items that I don’t need, like pet food, as we have no pets, I will be leaving out, along with shampoos, conditioners and vitamins as I have been recommended things from specialist and don’t want to ruin professional advice, and any that are better suited for my kids or partner, I will be giving to them and will be getting their feedback on those items.

I want to write a short critique on each item I try and will be comparing items to see which is the best for quality and price point. My aim is to try everything at least once. I will always be looking for flavourful recipes to use some of the products in, so if you are reading this and want to share please reach out :-)

I want to make a huge point in saying also that none of what I am writing is a paid promotion for any brand, this is me simply giving my opinion on supermarket food. Some people will agree with what I have to say, some people won’t and that is totally fine.

I will be starting my supermarket food challenge on the 1st of April and weekly updating you on what I have tried. I cannot wait to go in this food journey with you and I look forward to experiencing so many new flavours and finding new favourites along the way.

Week 2 - Nougat and Oil

Image
Hello again my friends.... now I have an apology to make... I know I did not make a post last week with my two items... I just somehow lost track of time and before I knew it the week was over so I am putting up two weeks worth of posts today to make up for it. Again, I'm sorry, I know what you're all thinking "Gosh, it's only her second week and she's already forgetting" but I will admit... I am human, so there will be weeks that I do forget but I will try my best to get this post up every week. So that being said lets move onto the items I tried: The first being Nougat with Cranberry and Nut. My first impression of this item of food was that the contents were spread evenly throughout the nougat and I already kind of knew that I was going to like this one as I LOVE nougat. After trying the pieces I can definitely say that the nougat was complimented by the extra added sweetness of the cranberry, which also oddly enough gave it a tartness too. And the crunch...

Week 1 - Buns and Spinach

Hello, So I tried 2 new things from the supermarket this week. The 2 items were: 1. High Fibre Low GI 7 Seed and Grain Rolls and 2. Baby Spinach. The first item I tried was the bun. It was delicious. Usually I am a white bread or normal bread boring kind of girl so this isn't something I would usually buy, but I am so glad I did. It was so soft. The texture was fantastic as the bread was doughy (nice doughy) and the different seeds weren't too overwhelming. It tasted good with both a salad or just some vegemite and cheese. My partner also really enjoyed the change in bread =) Will I be buying this again?? Definitely!! The second item I tried was the Baby Spinach. I was quite nice. It had a nice crunch and tasted fresh. I used it in a salad sandwich and it added a great texture. I also used it in my morning smoothies and I added that extra element that my smoothie needed (plus all those extra nutrients). Would I buy it again? Yes I would. It would also be great in sa...

Week 3 - Fizzy Drink and Biscuits

Howdy again friends!! Welcome to week 3!! I am thinking that after I finish one round of the supermarket, I may even attempt to do 3 items and see how that goes.... Please let me know if you are enjoying my posts or if I am inspiring you to try new things in your local supermarket. Also, last week I tested coconut oil, if you have any awesome recipes you know that use coconut oil or any of the items that I try out, please let me know and I will gladly give them a go =) Teamwork makes the dream work, so get involved!!! So this week was a pretty easy week for me, with two of my favourite things in the world, drink and bikkies!! The first item I tried this week was Lemon and Lime Mineral Water. My first impression was nervousness, as I am not huge on Lemon drinks... I can only so Solo or Lemon Ruskis for a certain amount of time before it gets too tangy for me. It amazes me too, just how much lemon flavour you can get in something like this, w...
