Grocery Product Reviews & Recommendations

Ah, the possibilities!

Opinions ranged from “worst ever!!” to “seriously the best.”

One pantry must-have: chili crisp.

Number two is for the garlic fans.

It makes a great gift for friends, family, or yourself.

Plus, two of our favorite tried-and-true brands to buy.

Meats! Salads! Dips! Tofu! And more!

“The discount department store is a goldmine for deals."

“It’s pure decadence — the most amazing piece of buttered bread I’ve ever had.”

Including cheesecake, cookies, ice cream, and even an honorable mention!

“The meat-like flavor and the hearty consistency is a welcome surprise.”

“These are sturdy masterpieces in fun flavors.”

We picked winners for best beef, pork and beef, and plant-based!

It’s a total cooking rut-buster.

Including a bevy of new breakfast items, saucy and cheesy noodles, summer-y sips, and more!

This unlikely ingredient is seeing a resurgence in popularity.

The $4 snack is well worth the wait.

They’re sold in two-packs and come with their own oven-safe baking trays.

The answer just might surprise you.

It’s often marked down 50- to 75-percent off!

And they’re freezer-friendly!

“It was simultaneously unlike anything I’ve ever had, but oddly familiar.”

“Truly, it’s unlike anything I’ve tasted before.”

Look for it in the refrigerated section.

“Pouring the water over the filter, I could tell a good mug was heading my way.”

Stock up on steamed pork buns, budget-friendly smoked whitefish, all the eggs, and even ice cream.

“Seventeen whole years later, I still find myself rolling the quotes over like the hard-won candy bits of wisdom they are.”

So flaky! So buttery!

Cookies! Cakes! Ice cream! Cheese! And more!

It's delicious and affordable!

It’s even better than the original!

“These items certainly gave me a skip in my step.”

When I’m not taking out high-interest personal loans to finance my crippling NYC restaurant addiction (read: most of the time) I’m a pretty no-frills home cook. I like simple, one-pot meals that leave me with minimal dishes and maximal flavor. One easy weeknight meal I find myself constantly turning toward is goosed-up instant ramen.

Use it in mac and cheese, French onion soup, potato salad, brownies, and more!

I’m a pink lemonade Barbie Girl ready to live in a pink lemonade Barbie world.

We picked winners for best burrito, taco, quesadilla, with butter, and raw!

It’s the texture and flavor enhancer you need to boost your bowl.

Stock up on ready-made apps, frozen finds, rice wine, and more!

“Trust the Midwesterners to make a pizza that never skimps on cheese or flavor.”

“It’s truly a choose-your-own-adventure in a bag, and a delicious one at that.”

I recommend grabbing an extra package or two — it sells out fast!

It’s the ideal mix of spice, seasoning, and crunch.

“It’s like getting the best of both dessert worlds.”

Including frozen pizzas, pasta kits, and cookies from an iconic bakery.

They’ll keep you coming back for more.

“They are plump and meaty, and have a strikingly rich red color.”

And now you can get your hands on it stateside!

Use it in pastas, frittatas, salads, and more!

“The texture is really fluffy inside, but with a strong, crispy outside.”

Including taste-test winners, editor favorites, and chef-approved groceries.

The perfect gift for cocktail lovers.

There's also less mess to clean up.

My midday meal went from amateur hour to power lunch.

TJ's is in its drinks era.
