Earn Free Product Coupons With RecycleBank

January 14th, 2010


There is a new rewards program called RecycleBank that you won’t want to miss out on! You can easily earn points just by signing up which can be redeemed towards free product coupons and more. First, check out this post from Money Saving Mom and learn how to open your account, which will automatically be credited with 100 points. Then go here and read how you can earn up to 300 points per week just for doing searches. I just signed up and redeemed 60 points for two coupons – one for a free bottle of Seventh Generation dish soap and one for $1 off two Bumble Bee products (which will get me cheap tuna at Safeway). You can earn coupons for free baby food, pistachios, cleaning supplies, and much more – check out the full list here. This is a great investment for a few minutes of your time, so definitely check it out!

Welcome, 2010: Organizing The Pantry

January 5th, 2010


Happy New Year! I hope everyone enjoyed the holidays. I took a little time off to celebrate with my family – and also recover from the flu I picked up! 2009 was a very chaotic year for me, to say the least. There were big highs, like getting engaged and winning the Delicious Moments contest. And there were big lows, with deaths in the family. In between all this, I was working so much that I had little time to think of other things – it was an exciting year professionally, but I have a tendency to be a workaholic to the detriment of everything else. 2010 is about re-prioritizing my schedule so that I’m working smarter; i.e., no living off takeout anymore!

One of the first projects I’m working on this year is re-organizing my pantry. Something you have to watch when you have a big stockpile is expiration dates. Unfortunately, I was so busy with other things that I didn’t make the time to go through my cupboards last year, and many things have since expired. So this week, I’m throwing out anything that’s gone bad, and am marking my calendar to check the pantry again in six months. That way, we can use up items and donate any excess to the food bank before it goes off.

Are you getting re-organized for the new year? Tell me about it in the comments!

Happy New Year!

December 31st, 2009


As we come to the end of both 2009 and the decade, I’d like to take a moment to wish you all a safe, happy New Year’s Eve. I hope this coming year brings much happiness to you and yours. See you in 2010!

Merry Christmas!

Hi everyone! Things have been quiet around here lately as I’ve been consumed with wrapping up some major work projects and preparing for the holidays. Posts will be sporadic over Christmas but we’ll be back to our regularly scheduled programming after a brief holiday break. I hope everyone is enjoying the season – best wishes to you and yours!

Horizon Organic Eggs – Giveaway

December 14th, 2009

As you probably know, I run another blog called Contest Corner, where I often write product reviews. A few months ago, Horizon Organics had sent me a couple of free coupons for their organic eggs so that I could try them out and write about what I thought. But as it turned out, the eggs aren’t available in my area yet – I even checked a few stores in Portland the last time I was there, but couldn’t find them anywhere. Since I still have these coupons, I figured I would hold a giveaway and mail them on to a reader who will be able to put them to use!

Be warned that Horizon’s eggs can be harder to find than their other products, so even if your store carries Horizon butter or milk, they might not have the eggs yet. However, these coupons don’t expire until 12/31/2012, so you do have some time to use them!


One reader will win two coupons, each good for one free dozen of Horizon Organic Large or Omega Eggs! Here’s how to enter:

1. For your first entry, just leave a comment on this post and tell me your favorite thing to make with eggs. Do you like to bake? Or maybe you prefer omelettes? Let me know so I can be inspired!

Want extra entries? Do any of the following, and leave a separate comment for each one:

2. Link to this post on your blog, then come back here and leave me the link!
3. Write about this on Twitter, then come back and leave me the link to your tweet!
4. Post my button on your website – just copy and paste the following code, and let me know where you put it:


Rules, regulations, and other important stuff:
Giveaway ends on December 21st at 11:59 PM, PST. Winners will be chosen via Random.org.
Giveaway is open to US residents and APO/FPO addresses. Horizon Organics sent me two free product coupons, which I will mail to one reader as the prize. No compensation was received for this post.
