belVita Breakfast Biscuits... Good for the whole family!!!

I recently used a coupon  (expired) from my Coupons.com Gallery  to purchase a box of apple cinnamon belVita Breakfast Biscuits.  The box comes with 5 packets with each containing 4 breakfast biscuits.  Now they're not actually what I would consider biscuits, they're more like a cross between a cookie, a cracker, and a granola bar. I had a hard time finding these at the store because they weren't in the cereal isle, which confused me as they are "breakfast biscuits," but I did finally find them in the cookie isle , which seems a bit out of place to me (if only I could control and organize the world lol).  Each packet is one serving and contains 20g of whole grains, 3g of fiber, 3g of protein, and also contain 10% of the daily suggested serving of  Iron, B1, B2, B6, and Niacin (% based on 2,000 cal diet);  so this proves to be a good source of energy (B Vitamins help convert food to energy) and Fiber! The best part is that each packet is only 2

Crystal Light Mocktails- Summer Party Must Have!!!

My delicious Crystal Light Appletini Mocktail! Crystal Light is currently launching quite a few new products, which is something we can all be excited about, and I'll tell you why (of course ;) Many of you, like myself, probably saw the launch of this new product on The Celebrity Apprentice , when the teams were tasked with throwing a summer themed party for Crystal Light Mocktails!  While watching that episode I instantly thought that mocktails sounded like a great idea for spring/ summer parties, but with only 5 calories and aspartame, I was a little skeptical about how these new drinks would actually taste.  So when the opportunity arose to sample the Appletini flavored mocktail, through  Crystal Light's Facebook page , I immediately signed up. Once I tried the drink, I was amazed at how great it tasted!!! It didn't have that nasty aspartame aftertaste that most diet drinks have.  Another thing I really liked is that the mocktails come in pitcher sized packets th

Coupons = $$$ in Your Pocket!!

So, as you probably already know, I seek out lots of free samples. A great thing about samples is, obviously,  that you can try products before you pay for them; but another great thing is they come with high value coupons (usually $2+ off)!! Well, today I went to Wal-mart and used coupons from my samples and from Coupons.com  and saved over $20!!! I know that some people think coupons are a huge time-suck, but in reality, when you use high value coupons, you don't have to use many to save a lot!!! Plus, when I use coupons I still comparison shop, so if I can get something cheaper that's a different brand without a coupon, I'll do that and save the coupon for a sale or something.   This site's  Coupons.com Coupon Gallery makes it really easy for you to just "clip" and print coupons you will actually use, right from my blog! Most of their coupons are around $1 off, so it's easy to save BIG! How much did Coupons.com save you? Let me know! &

Father's Day Deal

If you're looking to make a customized card for your dad this Father's Day, I have just the place!   Treat.com  is having a special offer for new customers. You can get a free card when you use the promo code FREETREAT.   The "Daddy-O's" image is the front of the card I made for my Pops. (I think I'm safe posting it here because I'm pretty sure my dad doesn't read this lol.) They have lots of designs to choose from and you can add pictures to the inside too! Another great thing is that the inside text is totally customizable as well but, starting off, they have a generic inside written so if you don't like to write, or can't think of what to say, there's something there! They also have non-picture cards, so there's something for everyone! And they can mail it directly to your dad for the price of a stamp, or they can mail it to you for free!

Summer 2012's Watch List

Our review of shows returning this summer, that you just can't miss! I've seen a bunch of reviews, listing the "top shows of the summer" and in my opinion, no one got it right! So as an avid tv fan, I'm gonna set the record straight, with my Summer 2012 Watch List.   Sci Fi - Must Sees Game of Thrones (Sundays on HBO) Since season two premiered in March, it's not technically a "summer show," however, since it is my favorite show of all time and it will be airing in the summer, I'm going to list it anyway! If you aren't tuning into to HBO every Sunday for this show, you are crazy! This show has everything you could ask for.  It's set in a mystical-medieval type land, it's got sword fighting, kings, wars, great characters, and a supernatural element. Fans of The Tutors, Kings, Merlin, Spartacus, Rome, Camelot, and The Borgias , should check this show out!  True Blood (June 10 - 9pm ET on HBO) Of course, HBO&

House Party

I just wanted to let everyone know that House Party  has a few new parties you can apply to host this summer! If you still haven't signed up with House Party you are seriously missing out! For those of you who still don't know about this amazing site I'll explain what they do.... Once you sign up at House Party, you can apply to host specific parties, and they have parties for everyone, so whether you want to host a kid-friendly party, a girl's night, a game night, whatever, there is something for you! Signing up is extremely easy, you just give them your name, address, e-mail, etc, and you're on your way! You will get e-mails when a new party opens that you can apply to host.  You just click the link in the e-mail and it takes you to the party's official House Party webpage! Then you just click "Apply to Host" and you're nearly finished! They will ask a few quick questions related to the party, and that's it.  You will hear bac

Trymbl - New Sampling & Reviewing App

First, I'd like to thank Cher from My Free Product Samples for posting about this new site/ app! The idea behind Trymbl is to let the users sample the products they are interested in buying, for free (don't take my word for it, watch the video at the end of this post :)  So, no more buying shampoo and finding out it smells stronger than you can handle... No more buying ten moisturizers before you find one that is right for you... No more wasting a ton of money on things you only use once! Now you might be thinking "what's so different about this site/ app? There are tons of product samples out there now, and plenty of sites that tell you how to get them!" Well, Trymbl takes the idea of sampling and pushes it further. If you see a product on the shelf that you are interested in, you can scan the bar code and get a sample sent to you (ideally).  That's not all though, you can also pull up reviews of the product that other Trymbl members have posted,

PC Security Programs- 50% off McAfee

With the massive amount of security programs out there, how can you figure out which is the right one for you???  Whether you want to pay for added benefits or you want a free program that works well, I have something for you... Keep reading :) Free Protection AVG has a free anti-virus program available that, for the most part, works great.  It blocks viruses and troublesome programs from being downloaded, in real time- i.e. you don't have to run a search every time you download something because AVG checks it automatically; which is a great feature for a free program!  This program also allows you to set the priority of system scans, so if you are on your computer, you can run scan at low priority so that, in theory, it doesn't slow you down.  However, my experience with AVG is that even if you run the scans at a low priority it takes away some of the speed from whatever you are doing.  I mainly notice when using video hosting sites (hulu, netflix, etc). This problem al

Earning Money Online

I know there are a lot of people looking for web-based jobs but it's so hard to distinguish between REAL opportunities and SCAMS that they give up and decide to just keep doing what they are doing, no matter how miserable it makes them. I know that's how I was for years. I ran into so many scams I just gave up.  Then, one day I was directed to oDesk.com , an amazing website that pairs companies with workers online! It was so simple to start working on oDesk, I just signed up for an account, filled out my portfolio, and started applying for jobs as a freelance writer. If you're not a writer, don't fret, there are plenty of different types of jobs on oDesk.  Companies are looking for computer programmers, bloggers, people to check and respond to e-mail, data entry, etc. So no matter your field of expertise, you can find someone who wants to hire you! Plus, you set your wages! Another way to make money online is to start a blog, which can be about anything you enjoy.

Awesome App of the Week - Viggle

Hello everyone! I just wanted to let you know about this awesome app I found this week, called  Viggle .  It let's you earn points by watching tv! You just have to touch the screen when the app is open and it will listen to what you're watching for a few seconds then you "Check In" to the show and earn your points!!! What's really great is that the shows don't have to be on TV at the time you track them, so you can track shows from dvr, hulu, network websites, or anywhere else that plays them (as long as it's no more than 7days after the show originally airs)!! Plus, nearly every channel and show is track-able, so you can just watch what you normally do and earn rewards for it!! As a bonus, you can play trivia type games along with Viggle, as your favorite shows air.  They generally ask questions about the previous week's  episode, so you don't even have to be watching the show to play the game!  Correct answers are awarded 25 points, and if
