Dude! Try This Now!

I was in charge of snacks for the PTA meeting and wasn't sure what to take, then it dawned on me---the incredible pretzels and peanut butter trail mix from Kroger!  The trail mix was a huge hit!  The little portion cups were perfect, and everyone wanted to know where I'd found them.  I told them which aisle in our closest Kroger to head down, and then told them that I loved the cups--I use them for ranch dressing for carrots and celery, peanut butter for apples, and portion sizing for the trail mix.  My kids love it so much that I have to watch out if I want any for myself!  I like that my kids will snack on veggies if they have something to dip, so these cups are awesome! I'm loving these #freesamples!

Our box came just in time! My daughter saw it on the porch the afternoon of her big PowderPuff Football game, and asked if she could use the new free Dove spray antiperspirant. After the game I asked her how she liked it, and she gushed about how she loved it! She'd told all her friends on the team about how smooth and dry she felt and completely comfortable with zero odor! A definite win!

Today I was approached by a woman who told me I had beautiful hair. I was super flattered, and told her that I'd been trying Suave for the last week. She was really surprised! The only thing better than a good hair day is a good hair day for free! Suave is super affordable, plus it smells so good! I've been pleasantly surprised by how smooth and silky my hair has been while I've been using Suave!

Do you want to know a secret about me?  I'm a total penny pincher.  It stems from the early days of my marriage, when we were so poor we literally had zero furniture---we slept on an air mattress and sleeping bags, you guys!---but we were so rich in love it seemed like a good trade.  Luckily now we have enough to make ends meet, but I still get a little thrill standing in the grocery aisle when I can get a good product for a great deal. One of my cheapskate confessions?   I like our little doggy for lots of reasons, but seriously?  The fact that a twenty pound bag of dog food will last nearly six months makes me love her all the more!  And when you're only buying dog food twice a year, you can wait till the huge sacks go on clearance and feel like a total boss for spending twelve dollars to feed your dog all year. At least, that's what I used to do.  Enter Nature's Recipe Dog Food.  I received a coupon for a free package of the food and thought just for fun, I'd

Yesterday I had a cruddy day.  I was frustrated that some projects hadn't gone as well as I'd hoped and I was sore from painting the front door (why does that minimal square footage take SO. FREAKING. LOOOONG???)  During the evening, I found myself alone in the house and decided that I was going to take a hot bath and soak my sore muscles and pamper myself.   I ran the bath and gathered my good body wash and candles and remembered that I had a few products from Kroger's new Spa line just waiting for me to try.  (Did I tell you how much I love being part of the My Magazine Sharing Network?  They sent me the coolest kit with several items to try for free, plus coupons to use on the products in store!)  I decided to start with the Deep Clean facial sheet mask. The mask is nearly translucent, kind of like the texture of a thin baby wipe, and soaked in a deep cleansing formula.  You just peel the paper back off the mask and apply it to your face.  Honestly, it's a littl

We don't eat a lot of organic food---my husband thinks lots of it is too expensive and doesn't taste as good as less healthy options. But we have loved everything we've tried out of this free kit sent to me by MyMagazine Sharing Network! The coupons will help with the price too--the Garden of Eatin' chips are definitely on my shopping list! If you guys aren't on the MyMagazine Sharing Network---you are missing out! It's awesome! I get to try tons of great new products for free, and I get to feel like my reviews are heard. It's so much fun to see what's in my mailbox now---stuff I love that I never would have tried before.
