The past couple months have been so busy. With the ending of the AAU Season, kids going back to school and traveling with my daughter, busy may be a bit of an understatement. Just before the kids went back to school I was contacted by FoundIt.  Do you remember when our kids would get book bags or any other items and they would have a space to put your child’s information? I’ve never filled out the information card because of the fear of a total stranger finding it and knocking at our door.

However, that’s where FoundIt comes in. FoundIt is a service that helps to ensure that if you lose an item it is returned to you.  With less than $8.00 a year you can get the safety and security measures we need and get back items that we may lose.

How FoundIt Works:

Sign up with one of 3 Foundit Packages

You’ll receive your kit in the mail with stickers and tags to place on your belongings.

If anything gets lost…the person that FoundIt can go to Foundit.net and enter your FoundIt ID.  FoundIt will contact you and you make arrangements to pick up your belongings.

Since we’ve received our package we’ve been tagging everything! I think my daughter is enjoying it more than anyone else.  Maybe that’s due to the many items she’s lost.  It was also helpful when we went on our trip to NewYork.  Thankfully we didn’t lose anything, but I always find myself checking over and over making sure we didn’t leave anything behind.

Giveaway

One of you have the opportunity to receive your very on FoundIt MacDaddy Package.  All you have to do is leave a comment below about something you may have lost and wished you recovered that item.  For extra entries like Foundit on Facebook and follow them on Twitter.  Thanks in advance for all of our entries.  This contest will close on October 17, 2011.

#CaStrawberryTour

I think my sleep is catching up with me. The past 2 weeks have been super busy. I don’t think I’ve seen this much of downtown Chicago in my life & my car will thank me for the rest after this coming weekend.

Last Thursday I went to #CaStrawberryTour at the Merchandise Mart hosted by @MJTam. They had some members of the California Strawberry Commision, a strawberry farmer and David Grotto. They gave us some very informative information on strawberries. Did you know that strawberries are packed in the picking field & put directly on the truck to ship to stores? I didn’t either. That’s why it’s important to clean them before we eat them.

They had a variety of recipes to try with strawberries. One was Strawberry Gazpacho. It was like a strawberry soup. One flavor I knew was in there was cucumber. The soup was sour & that’s how I eat my cucumbers. I peel, cut them up & add salt pepper and vinegar. We were discussing at the table what was in it & I said I taste cucumbers. They gave us a cook book with those recipes & many others. When I looked it up, there it was, cucumbers.

Another treat was David Grotto. He’s a diatician & author of numerous books. Not only does he know his stuff, he’s really funny & after Thursday I think he can make anyone eat their vegetables. I don’t know if I’ve told you all this, but I can only eat a few fruit whole. Strange, I know! I can eat grapefruit no problem. Strawberries I only eat in smoothies & yogurt. Any other fruit has to be in some form of creamy yogurt. It’s something about the texture I don’t like & makes me sick to the stomach. Anywho, he had us take a strawberry twizzler & a strawberry and do a bit of a taste test. I’ll be the first to say I was shocked the strawberry tasted better!

Lastly, they gave us a recipe book for giveaway. I’ll post the giveaway this Thursday so be sure to stay tuned. Do you all like strawberries & what’s your favorite way to eat them?

Dominick’s just for u Review & Giveaway(Closed)

dominicksLogo

just for u

Congratulations to our 2 winners 

Sidney

Janet 

Thanks for participating in Help! Mama Remote Give away!

September was National Coupon Month.  I admit I’m not a faithful coupon clipper but I envy those that are.  Although, being a family of five, I’m always looking for the best way to maximize my grocery shopping.  Looking in our local sales papers, taking inventory so that I won’t purchase something we already have or preparing a grocery list are just a few ways I try to stay on budget. 

Last month I was contacted by a representative of Dominick’s to try out a new program they are rolling out called “just for u“.  This program allows you to save money based on your purchasing history.  This solved one of my main reasons for not clipping coupons frequently.  Most of the coupons I see in the sales paper, my family doesn’t eat.  When signing up with the just for u program, you link your Dominick’s Fresh Value card with your “just for you” account and that’s when the savings begin.

There are 3 ways to save!

1. Coupon Center- This is were you get your digital coupons.  Yep! No more clipping coupons.  Coupon Center is the largest grocery coupon site in North America.  Once signing into the Dominick’s site, click on the coupon center, peruse the coupons, click the add button & the coupon is automatically added to you Fresh Value Card. 

2.Personalized Deals- These deals are good for up to 90 days.  They are either something you’ve recently purchased or some items that you have added to your deals list.  **It also has an expiration date so you will know when your deal ends.  You may also click the add button to add them to your list as well.

3.Your Club Specials- These are the items that are currently Fresh Values.  Again you click the add button and add them to your list.

Once you have completed browsing the was you will save, either print your list or do the Green thing & email it to your mobile phone. 

Pros: Program is excellent!  As I said before, I avoided clipping coupons because the items we use I could never find a coupon for.  We’ve brought enough Gatorade to fill a small swimming pool!  Since gatarode is one of the items I purchased, the coupon savings is on my personalized deals list for up to 90 days.   

Cons: While shopping I noticed some of the sale price items required you to buy multiple of that item in order to receive the lowest discounted price.  Although, you still receive a savings, it’s just not the lowest savings.  That was a slight draw back for me.  As a member I would like to receive the lowest price without over extending my budget. 

Now, I have something “just for u“!  I have two $25.00 Dominick’s gift cards for 2 of my readers.  This is how you can win….Leave a comment on how you think the “just for u” program will benefit you.  Giveaway will close on October 29th at 11:59pm. 1 entry per person

 

Disclosure: I received (8) $25.00 Dominck’s gift cards for myself & to giveaway to my readers in exchange to review the “just for u” program.  These are my honest opinions and views of the “just for u” program.
