Kroger Gift Card Giveaway!!!

Photobucket

You´ve seen the Biggest Loser on TV, watched contestant´s struggles and achievements, and may have even thought, "Hey, I can do that!" Instead of waiting for the BBQs to be over and your schedule to open up, put all excuses aside and make a pledge to live healthier with the Pound For Pound Challenge.

The Kroger Co. Family of Stores, General Mills, NBC's hit TV Show "The Biggest Loser" and other key sponsors are partnering to donate up to $1,080,000 to Feeding America this year.

Visit www.pfpchallenge.com/Kroger to make your pledge to lose weight and to get more information and to find tools to change your life for the better. It is free, easy and only takes a minute to make a change that can help you and help the hungry in your local community.
 Through June 30, 2010, for every pound you pledge to lose, the Pound For Pound Challenge will donate 14¢ to Feeding America® - enough to deliver one pound of groceries to a local food bank.
As the official supplier of the Biggest Loser Ranch and partner of the Pound for Pound Challenge, the Kroger Family of Stores wants to help you achieve your goals. If you´re a fan of the Biggest Loser, you may have seen several great General Mills products featured on the show. These products, including Yoplait Greek yogurt, Total, and Multigrain Cheerios, are available at your local Kroger Family of Stores and can help you stick to your weight management plan.

This is really great ! Let's all do or part to get healthy and help donate to Feeding America!

Kroger Family of Stores and General Mills are providing me (through MyBlogSpark) a $30 Kroger family of stores gift card for 1 of my lucky readers !

Longaberger Basket

I purchased these Longaberger pieces at a
garage sale. I am a big fan and have collected
a few. The factory is here in Ohio and there
are many collectors locally.

Here is what I got :


Ok this was not cheap ! I spent $63.00 (gasp).
I normally don't spend this kind of money at a
garage sale but I thought the Strawberry basket
was unusual . The thing that I like is that it is a complete
set (lid,liner,etc.). The lid is signed by the artist and
the bottom is signed by 4 of the Longaberger family.
I thought this makes it worth something.
I can't seem to find out exactly how much it's worth.
Does anyone have any idea ?

I feel guilty about buying this . It wasn't a need but a BIG want .

This literally was a 15 min. shopping trip at Target !
Its nice to have a game plan and be able to get in and out.

1 dish soap
            1 disinfectant wipes
              1 all purpose cleaner
      2 Fiddle Faddle
 2 Aquafresh
                 2 Pantene conditioners
   1 Ragu sauce
                         1 Lysol handsoap dispenser
              1 child"s head (haha)
                     ---------------------------
             $9.xx after coupons

          The big expense here was the lysol dispenser. I have been wanting
           this. It was $3 after a Target Q and man Q , saving me about $7 !
    I was also over charged .40 for the sauce.  I won't be going  
  back for that . You have to watch your receipt this happens
often at my Target .

----------------
.34 after coupons and $4 catalina

I was hoping to get my hands on the razors and shave gel.
That would of helped me roll my RR. They were out of both :(
I did get a rain check though. I'm starting to ask for these now.
Why not...its for FREE items.

I'm thinking about getting more peanut butter...my son eats it
straight out of the jar with a spoon!

2 Nivea chapsticks
5 Cereal cups

$1.84 got a $5 Ecb and $1 Ecb

The $5 was for the Nivea and the $1 was from having my
green tag scanned a couple times.

I had a B1g1 for the Nivea bodywash and chapstick + $1 off.
I got a CVS coupon for $2 off any bodywash out of the
"magic" coupon machine that I used...I was hoping for this since I didn't
get the $4 off Nivea coupon in my paper. I also used a $4/20
from my recycle bank points and a $5 Ecb that was expiring:)
Thats about $20 in coupons!

*** look for the Nivea with the bonus lotion***

I had 2 unopened bottles of Children's Tylenol in my medicine cabinet.
