“Win & Give” Contest & Giveaway

I recently got the chance to review some Betty Crocker fruit snacks.  In our house we don’t have many sweets, so this was great.  When we got these we found out about the low fats, and that helped us in looking at what sweets may end up coming back into the house.

I haven’t had fruit rollup snacks for many years, and it brought back memories of having them when I was younger.  My daughter loved them, and being the snack itself is so small she tends to try and sneak off with more than one.  For our house these snacks are a relief to have because they are lower on a lot of different numbers.  You can see the Nutrition Facts below for the Fruit By The Foot Variety Pack.

With specially marked boxes of kid favorites – including Fruit Roll-Ups, Gushers, Fruit by the Foot, and Stickerz & Shapes – your child could win one laptop to keep and Betty Crocker Fruit Flavored Snacks will donate another to a child in Africa.

I am also running a giveaway.  The winner of the contest will receive 2 boxes of fruit snacks, and a $25 donation will be made in the winners name to “One Laptop Per Child.”

To enter just follow these instructions…

Main Entry:

Go to the Betty Crocker fruit snacks website, and tell me which fruit snack you would like most, and why.

    Chocolate Cheerios Review & Giveaway

    I have loved eating Cheerios for quite some time.  (Actually it has been since I was a child.)  Recently I was lucky enough to be chosen to try out the new Chocolate Cheerios.  I had my wife, and daughter try them, and they loved them.  We loved eating the Honey Nut Cheerios originally, and now they have something else that we will eat because they have added Real Cocoa, and we love chocolate.

    These Cheerios are so good that I will definitelly recommend them to anyone that eats cereal, and is willing to try out something new.

  • Green Mountain Coffee Review & Contest

    Recently I was given the opportunity to review some K-Cups from Green Mountain Coffee.  I would have thought that they would have had a few different varieties of coffee, but once I got to their site I found out different.  The prices are great, and there are ways to save money.  One way is to join Cafe Express, which is a flexible coffee delivery program.  Another way is to purchase at least 4 boxes of K-cups, and you will receive FREE shipping.  There is also FREE shipping on any 80 count K-cup orders.  The package I received came quickly to me from them.

    Not only do they sell K-cups, but they sell whole bean, and ground coffee as well.  On top of that they have a selection of coffee brewers as well as accessories to compliment your brewer.  We personally prefer the 24 count boxes, but there are other counts available for the K-Cups.

    My favorite coffee so far is the Hazelnut.  Recently my wife happened to find some Golden French Toast for me to try, and that is a close second for me.  Each morning that I make my coffee the smell alone is enough to make me want more. 

    We were lucky enough to be allowed to offer a contest from Green Mountain Coffee.

    To find out more keep reading, and enter.

    I was sent a K-Cup package by GreenMountainCoffee so as to review the brewer.  I was also given (2) 24 count K-Cup packages, or (2) bags of coffee for a giveaway.  I was not paid any monetary compensation for this review. This post is my opinion and should be taken as just that. Having received samples has no impact on our personal use, experience, or like for any product.  As always my review is honest, and concise in every way.

    Up for grabs is either (2) 24 count boxes of K-Cups, or (2) bags of coffee… Your choice.

    Main Entry…

    Go To the Green Mountain Coffee site, and tell me which flavor coffee, or tea you would want most, and why.
