So, last weekend we had a get together for one of my pregnant girlfriends, and we had lots of goodies from BJ's wholesale clubs to share!
As you know, I tell everyone about Vocalpoint as it is a great way to get coupons, samples, and free products to try out, well it gets even better! Now they have a special area called "rsvp" where they ask you to host parties to distribute samples and information.

Goodie Bags

So, I received booklets full of coupons, ans some even to BJ's Black Friday sale! The best part was free passes for everyone for 60 day memberships! This is so great, and just in time for the holidays! They also sent lots of free samples so I made goodie bags for all the girls to take home, and held a raffle for some other items.

My daughter won the raffle for the mascara, that made her day!

                                                                                                                     

MommyParties and OralB Stages/Winnie the Pooh Party

As you all know I am a proud member of MommyParties, and I get the chance to try and share many products.
This week we got party packs that included oral care from Oral B with toothbrushes and toothpaste. They also included balloons and popcorn and the Winnie the Pooh movie. The kids loved playing with the balloons and eating popcorn. The moms loves the free stuff and the coupons.
We already use Oral B products at home because of the great quality and the kids always pick their toothpaste because of the characters on the front. I don't mind buying it because I know it healthy and the prices are always reasonable, these coupons will help to keep it even lower. Thanks!
Check out MommyParties to join and OralB for your own coupons today!

Crunchmaster Crackers Review

So, as you know I am a Mom Ambassador through Moms Meet.com and I was chosen to sample the Crunchmaster Crackers.
I enjoyed them very much. They are all natural and gluten free. They are full of whole grains (you can actually see them!). I loved the crunch and the nutty whole grain flavor. My kids didnt really like them, but I thought they were great. My other Moms in the group liked them as well and they go great with hummus. When we pulled out the dip, the kids were more likely to try them. I also recieved coupons which the other Moms are always appreciative of, and a T-shirt. My kids keep calling me "The Crunchmaster" whenever I wear it (LOL). So if you are in the market to try a new snack and need something wholegrain and gluten free, these are well worth a shot. I'm hoping they come out in other flavors, perhaps that would get my kids to eat them.

Old Navy Jeans

So I'm wearing my new and FREE Old Navy jeans today, I'm glad the weather has cooled a bit around here. As you may remember, I am a member of Crowdtap, which is a website that allows people the opportunity to sample products from nationaly known and recognized companies for free, the only thing you have to do is get the word out. I blog, tweet, and share via Facebook. They make it very easy to use their website to link your responses right to Facebook, etc. Anyway, I got the new Flirt Bootcut jeans abd I love the stretchy material, they are very comfortable and Im so glad, I needed a new pair of favorites!

Great baby toy website

Hey Everyone!
I wanted to take a few minutes to give some well deserved attention to a local company that has great educational and fun toys for babies and kids of all ages. It's www.ebeanstalk.com and you should check it out. I have a toy from a few years ago that has been passed down from two kids and now onto my grandson so I know the quality is great.
When buying toys for my kids or as gifts, I always like to buy learning toys and there is a great selection here. A baby toy that has become a favorite with us is the Spiral Spin Top the kids like watching the balls go around, be prepared to hear "Again, Again!"
I also love all the fun arts and crafts, my girls want the flip flop art set, sounds like a great rainy day project for summer vacation. Check it out and let me know what you think!

Playtex now has wipes!

I was chosen by Crowdtap to sample these new body wipes from Playtex Sport. They were pretty cool. They work well if you have to go out after you hit the gym, of after school sports. They are packaged seperately so you can throw one in any bag or purse for emergencies too. With the warm weather fast approaching, its a great time to buy and stash them before its too late and you wish you did. I have seen some coupons in the Sunday papers lately too, so give them a try.

Yummy new dip!

As you know I am a lucky member of BzzAgent and I get to try new stuff for free. I'm so happy to say, so far I have enjoyed everything I have been able to sample. This week I got to try a new dip from Marzetti's-it's a Greek line, and I bought the spinach and artichoke dip. LOVED it! It was smooth and creamy and full of spinach. I ate it with some crackers, then with some tortilla chips--In the words of Rachel Ray "Yum-O!"
I had a bit of a hard time finding it, but I think it's because it's such a new product. Maybe if we ask our local stores about it they can start to stock it for us. I really want to try the cucumber one with gyros!!
Go get yourself some!

BzzAgent for SC Johnson

Thanks again to BzzAgent, I have received a box chuck full of products from SC Johnson. I am happy to say that my favorite is the new Glade candle, its bright green and smells like a lime margarita! Got me ready for the warm weather.
I also received the Scrubbing Bubbles toilet cleaning gel-I use this product already so it was great to get a refill. Its so easy to use, just stick it in your toilet bowl and it keeps it clean and smelling frexh.
The lemon Pledge is great for my wood and the Scrubbing Bubbles foaming shower cleaner is a must for any bathroom. I like the thick foam that stays where you spray, and the scent is much better thatn a lot of those other harsh bathroom cleaners. I also received a lot of coupons that I will be sharing with my coupon swap buddies-Lucky you!
I may even do a give away of some products and coupons next month, so keep checking in!

Rite Aid Hints, and Lucky thanks

First I want to say Thank You again to Lucky magazine--my cappuccino this morning was AMAZING! You should steal the slogan form McDonalds, cuz--Im lovin it!

Anyway, many people want to know how I get so many things for FREE at Rite Aid, so here's a few tips:

#1 Use a Rite Aid card for every purchase. Thats the way to get the sale price and also to earn points towards 10% off coupons and get your Up Rewards. These print out at the end of your receipt and can be used right away on your next purchase.

#2 Watch the Video Values on their web site. They are 30 second to 1 minute commercials that will give you a printable coupon for that product. These are Rite Aid coupons so you can use this with a manufacturers coupon on the same product. These products are always on sale at some point during the month that the coupon is valid, usually I can score these for little to no money. There are also bonus coupons for watching all the videos, like $4 off or $2 of a $10 beauty purchase.

#3 There have been survey codes at the bottom of my receipts lately, they are worth $3 off a $15 purchase, you take a short survey on their website and get a printable coupon.

#4 Make 2 lists, purchase any items that give you Up Rewards first, so you can use them right away to purchase the items on your second list. This is the real key to getting the most bang for your buck.

#5 Never buy an item that isnt on sale, unless its something you absolutely need, you will regret it! Things usually go on sale once a month to two months so hang on and grab a coupon. In these hard times every penny counts!

#6 If its FREE, grab it. Dont be afraid to stock up. Even if you dont need an item right away, you will be happy you got it while it was FREE. Plus everything you buy gets you closer to that next 10% off coupon.

#7 Clip ALL coupons and bring them with you EVERY time you shop, you never know when you will find an item on clearance, using your coupons on those items helps to get FREE stuff too!
