365 ginger snap cookies: Solid spiced ginger flavor. Cookies have the perfect level of crunch-not too thick or dense. Sweetness from molasses is not overpowering. Great with milk. Very good budget snack. 4.0/5.0

Salt and Lemon Baumkuchen: Ever had a salted lemon flavored cake? I hadn't up to this point in my life, and I wish I had. This import from Japan is very well balanced, with a concentrated acidic flavor. Like most Japanese pastries, it's lightly sweetened. Texture is a bit dense but not dry. Honestly better than many fresh cakes I've had. 4.0/5.0

Harvest deluxe whole cranberries: Plump and exceptionally good cranberries that work great in oatmeals or salad. Very sweet, like most dried fruit, so use wisely but sparingly. 4.0/5.0

Trader Joe's kettle popped popcorn chips: Whole grain, circular chips that are light but flavorful. Each chip has an addicting sweet and salty coating. Contains ingredients you can feel good about (e.g., chia seeds, quinoa, flax seeds, and sunflower seeds) but doesn't taste like bad health food; in fact, it's very tasty in its own right. 4.0/5.0

Quinn Popcorn cheddar & chipotle popcorn: Organic popcorn that feels light yet had a prominent and distinct flavor. Chipotle kick is more smoky than spicy. The company prints a batch number on the package so you can learn more about where the ingredients come from. It's not something I'm personally interested in but I did it for the purposes of this review. Honestly, I really just care about whether or not it tastes good, and it does. 4.0/5.0

Trader Joe's ginger beer: Last year, I attempted to purchase this drink only to find that the seasonal product was sold out. Seeing it on the shelves this time around, I was especially excited to try it. I'm picky about my ginger beers, and this one is good. Surprisingly robust, spicy ginger flavor for a mass market audience. Good amount of carbonation and citrus. Worth checking out. 4.0/5.0
