Progresso Review & Giveaway
Have you tried the new Progresso Panko bread crumbs yet? I was recently sent a box from My Blog Spark along with some Progresso broth and kitchen items. Panko are Japanese style breadcrumbs that produce a crispier yet lighter crust than traditional breadcrumbs. Progresso has Panko available in plain and Italian flavors.
Progresso broths are 100% natural and use high quality ingredients to achieve a great homemade taste. They are fat free, gluten free, contain no preservatives, no added MSG and no artificial flavors. Progresso broth is available in chicken and reduced sodium chicken and beef flavors.
Food Network Chef Michael Chiarello is providing tips and recipes at ProgressoFoods.com and ProgressoBroth.com for all occasions - from the every day to holiday - on how to use panko and broth in your recipes. There is a great recipe for Oven Fried Chicken Tenders using panko that kids and adults alike will love! You can event print high-value coupons from these 2 sites!
The folks over at Progresso and My Blog Spark have graciously decided to give (1) of my readers the Progresso Panko and Broth pack (pictured above), that includes a sample of Progresso panko, a carton of Progresso broth, a measuring cup, slotted spoon, soup ladle and a sheet pan for baking.

Bumble Bee Recipes & Coupons
I have always loved tuna but I tend to like it with a lot of mayonnaise and on a sandwich. I was happy to be sent a box of Bumble Bee Tuna products as a result of my participation on the Bumble Bee Bee Squad. Along with the box of tuna products came several recipes. We recently had a conference call with Bumble Bee Foods and I was happy to learn about these other uses for tuna that aren't sandwiches or tuna noodle casserole.
The first recipe card I received is for Pizza with Prosciutto. I decided not to make this since I am not a prosciutto fan. I decided to make the Mediterranean-Style Rigatoni Pasta. It was so easy to open the can of tuna instead of worrying about defrosting another protein as I normally would have. The pasta was very flavorful with vegetables (peppers, onions, tomatoes), olives and the tuna. I added more than a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes though since I like it spicy!
Bumble Bee has many more recipes for their products available on their website. Currently, if you sign up for My Cookbook on BumbleBee.com (it's FREE) you'll be given access to a large library of searchable recipes as well as high-value coupons.
Bumble Bee has other products besides tuna, such as clams, shrimp, and salmon. My next recipe will use the can of salmon I was sent. I'm anxious to try the chile lime salmon tacos or the wasabi salmon and asian slaw - both sound yummy!
I also wanted to bring your attention to Bumble Bee's commitment to sustainability. This is a brand you can feel good about giving to your family!
I received this valuable information from my participation on Bumble Bee's Bee Squad. I received a box of free products from them a month ago but received no additional compensation for this post or my participation on the Bee Squad.

Donate Your Old Coat To Make a Difference!
Lands' End has joined forces with the National Coalition for the Homeless to start the campaign called The Big Warm-up. The Big Warm-up provides an opportunity for people across the nation to donate a gently used coat that will then go on to warm one of more than 3.5 million homeless women, men and children in the United States right now – each facing a cold winter.
Beginning October 29 until November 30, Lands’ End is hosting Big Warm-up coat donation sites at its 252 Lands’ End Shops at Sears and 13 Lands’ End Inlets®. Donated coats will be distributed via the National Coalition for the Homeless in communities nearby. Lands’ End is also giving 20 percent off the purchase of a new coat for each one donated. Please consider going through your closets and donating your gently used coats to help support this wonderful campaign!
Writing this post also entered me into a contest where if I win, Lands' End will donate 100 coats to the charity of my choice!

Yoplait Save Lids to Save Lives Review & Giveaway
You may have noticed the pink foil tops on many of Yoplaits yogurts recently. Make sure to save those lids and read this post to find out how you can make a difference in the fight against breast cancer!
1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer during their lifetime - that's 12% of women! Yoplait's Save Lids to Save Lives program aims to raise money and awareness of the fight against breast cancer women are facing. To participate, purchase the Yoplait yogurts with the pink foil lids and mail them in. For every lid collected before December 31, 2009, Yoplait will donate 10 cents to Susan G. Komen for the cure. Yoplait has guaranteed a minimum $500,000 donation with a maximum of $1.5 million!
Yoplait has also created a new website, Your Lid Matters, where you can create online lid collection teams. You can also inform your friends and family of the effort through the site.
During the past 11 years, Yoplait has donated more than $22 million to the breast cancer cause through Save Lids to Save Lives and other initiatives, and last year, participants across the country helped Yoplait meet its $1.5 million donation goal to Susan G. Komen for the Cure. This year, make sure you are a part of this phenomenal and inspiring campaign!

I'm a DealPro!
I meant to post this earlier but time got away from me. I found out a few weeks ago that I had been selected to be a DealPro for savings.com. Along with 24 other bloggers, I was flown to San Francisco where I attended the Save Up Event last week.
The Save Up Event was a great one-day event where I got to meet like-minded DealPros like myself! I was excited to meet bloggers whose blogs I have been following for a long time and of course to finally meet Coupon Dad, who I felt like I already knew!
We had a great time and learned a lot about savings.com, a phenomenal website I will blog more about at a later date. We had a full agenda of panel discussions, roundtable discussions, lots of food and lots of laughs! I came back from the trip exhausted but exhilarated, having met people just like me who also have a passion for deals!
Savings.com pulled out all the stops for us on the trip and we felt like savings royalty! I'm excited to get more involved in their community-based website where users work together to find and share the best deals.
As a DealPro, I received an all-expense paid trip to San Francisco sponsored by savings.com. They did not ask me to write this post or do anything in exchange for the trip. My opinions remain my own.

Coupons.com Update, 11/8
Each Sunday I am going to bring you the updated list of printable coupons from coupons.com! You can access these coupons from the blue widget on my right sidebar that has 3 coupons on it or by clicking here. Some of them are not available in all zip codes. You can print two (2) of each coupon by hitting the back button on your browser.
Printing the coupons from the widget on my blog or by clicking here supports this blog! Remember to contact your local stores to see what their policy on accepting Internet printables is! It's best to print as many as you think you may need as soon as you see them (read: right now) because you never know when a coupon will reach its print limit. Print now, hold on to them, and wait for a good deal to use them!
FYI - sometimes coupons reset several times each month so even if you have already printed 2 of a certain coupon, try to print it again - if you're lucky, it was reset and you can print 2 more!

In honor of your pledge, Frigidaire will donate $1 to support the CHANGE program to help children in the US.

Phase 3: New $15 Credit Starts Now!
I blogged before about Kodak's big giveaway! They are giving away $15 credits on the Kodak Gallery site! This makes for very cheap or FREE high quality photo products. You'll need to hurry though as the $15 credits are limited and Phase 3 of their giveaway has just begun! If you didn't get a $15 credit during Phase 1 or Phase 2, you'll be eligible to get one right now!
To sign up, you'll just need to enter your information. You'll then get a $15 credit code in your email - and they arrive pretty quickly!
They have fabulous photo products that make great gifts! The $15 will be applied towards the product, not shipping - so you'll still have to pay shipping.

This collage photo mousepad

Or perhaps 20 photo holiday cards?
They are all FREE and you can expect to pay a small shipping fee of approximately $2-3! This is a great deal and the perfect gift for someone special.

Sweetly You Review & Giveaway
My favorite scents are food-based scents and I love bath products so I jumped at the chance to review Sweetly You's products. Sweetly You is a delightful online retailer of primarily bath and body products. Their claim to fame is their enormous list of delicious scents that their products are available in. I was like a kid in a candy store choosing my reveiw items and really loved what I received.
I selected the thick and rick bubble bath in sugar cookie, the foaming bath butter in cookies n' cream, and the solid scents in marshmallow madness. They do have non-food related flavors but I couldn't resist the tempting fragrance names!
The thick & rich bubble bath in sugar cookie was divine. It was thick and creamy as the title suggests but also produced a generous amount of bubbles. The scent was intoxicating and it smelled like I had cookies baking in the oven! The foaming bath butter was a really interesting and cool product. It was creamy in my hand but foamed when put in the bath. The cookies n' cream scent was authentic and left me a little hungry! The solid scent is a small jar of solid perfume. I chose the marshmallow madness and loved the hint of sweetness it left on me. The jar is very small so it's good for your purse or the car, etc.
The folks over at Sweetly You have graciously decided to give (1) of my readers the Pomegranate Lotion Combination Set (pictured above), that contains a 4 oz. premium pomegranate scented body lotion along with a package of pomegranate-flavored jelly beans.

Sweetly You sent me the items I reviewed in this post to write this review at no charge. My opinions remain my own.
I selected the thick and rick bubble bath in sugar cookie, the foaming bath butter in cookies n' cream, and the solid scents in marshmallow madness. They do have non-food related flavors but I couldn't resist the tempting fragrance names!
The thick & rich bubble bath in sugar cookie was divine. It was thick and creamy as the title suggests but also produced a generous amount of bubbles. The scent was intoxicating and it smelled like I had cookies baking in the oven! The foaming bath butter was a really interesting and cool product. It was creamy in my hand but foamed when put in the bath. The cookies n' cream scent was authentic and left me a little hungry! The solid scent is a small jar of solid perfume. I chose the marshmallow madness and loved the hint of sweetness it left on me. The jar is very small so it's good for your purse or the car, etc.

Juice Box Jungle Widget
The Juice Box Jungle Widget (it's lime green and in my left sidebar) contains some information this week about if firstborn children have higher IQ's than their siblings. Being a firstborn myself, I'll choose not to comment just in case my younger brother is reading this. I know he subscribes but does he actually read?
There is a great New York Times article on the topic that you can access just by clicking that lime green widget in my left sidebar. It's interesting from every perspective - whether you're firstborn, middle child or even the youngest! Some theories attribute this perceived higher IQ to family dynamics or even to greater responsibility given to the oldest child. Whatever the cause, this is one topic sure to spark discussion in your house!
By the way, the research shows that the oldest child has a 3 point higher IQ than the sibling closest to them in age.

Bob Evans Side Dishes Review & Giveaway
Just in time to make your holiday cooking easier, Publix is now carrying Bob Evans side dishes! I was sent the macaroni and cheese, original mashed potatoes and garlic mashed potatoes to try out. What a great timesaver these are! I served the mashed potatoes with meatloaf and it made my meal prep a snap! I love macaroni and cheese with tuna fish (not together but as a side dish) and so I prepared the mac and cheese then and loved the flavor!
I loved the original mashed potatoes - they were creamy and smooth and very tasty. The macaroni and cheese was very cheesy but had a nice homemade flavor. My least favorite was the garlic mashed potatoes, there was something I couldn't put my finger on that made them my least favorite. You can find these great side dishes at many supermarkets around the country. I wanted to let Florida readers know that Publix has just started to carry these and you can find them in the refrigerator section of your grocery store.
You can make these in the microwave and they take minutes! Besides the varieties I tried, they are available in other traditional favorites such as green bean casserole, homestyle stuffing, and glazed apples. Bob Evans also has coupons on their website - currently there is a coupon for $.50 off any side dish!
The folks over at Bob Evans have graciously decided to give one (1) of my lucky readers five (5) coupons for FREE Bob Evans products!

I have ordered many items from Vistaprint before, from business cards to stationary and have always been happy with what I received. They have many FREE items where you just need to pay for shipping. If you choose the slow shipping method, the rates are very reasonable. Vistaprint sometimes charges more to add a photo to your creation and it's easy to make a FREE item not free!
If you're careful about what you add, and make sure no additional boxes are checked (they have been known to add some additional items or upgrades in the final few screens so be careful!), then you'll have some fabulous personalized items in just a few weeks!
Some of the holiday related items that are FREE (you just pay shipping) I have been eyeing are:
Holiday Caricature Return Address Labels
To-From Photo Stickers
Photo Return Address Labels
Just click holiday on the left hand side once you're on the page and it will take you to all of these items! Shipping costs will run around $3.00 depending on your order - a can't beat price for such cute personalized products!

Review: Homedics Restore Clean Water System
I love gadgets and gizmos and this Restore Clean Water System made by Homedics totally fascinated me! The Restore system is a very cool looking pitcher with the normal filter that you would expect from a water filter pitcher but it has the cool factor! After you let the water go through the filter, you plug the pitcher into the wall and press a button. Then the pitcher lights up blue and purple for a minute or two and the water gets purified.
It gets purified through Ultraviolet (UV) Clean technology. Other water filtration pitchers only offer filtered water, not purified water! According to Homedics, the purification UV process removes viruses and bacteria.
From Homedics, "Restore is California certified for microbiological water purification, a first for a water pitcher utilizing UV technology and is Gold Seal Certified to National Sanitation Foundation standards by the Water Quality Association. UV Technology has been used for over 60 years for its germicidal properties in hospitals and laboratories. For the first time, an application of this unique germ-killing technology is available for home use in an affordable, easy to use water pitcher."
Pros:
-Cool factor of the UV light
-Water tastes very fresh
-Inexpensive way to get clean water
Cons:
-Takes a long time for the water to filter through
-Pitcher doesn't fit in the door of the refrigerator
-Remembering to change the filter every 3 months
If you're in the market for a water purification system, definitely check this out. Not only did the water taste great, there is the ultimate wow factor of plugging in and zapping your water!
I was given a Restore Clean Water System free of charge to write this review. My opinions remain my own.

Survey Company: Synovate
I have been a member of Synovate for over a year now and enjoy the variety of surveys I receive from them. Also, they frequently send me items for product tests and I love product tests! Synovate emails are from the name "Marie Brighton" and I average about 5 per week. I qualify for the majority of them and their threshhold of $10 to cash out is reasonable.
It's FREE to sign up for Synovate. Use your separate email address for surveys when you sign up. I don't get any spam from them but it's easier to have all your survey invitations in one inbox apart from your personal emails.
For more information on other survey companies I am signed up with, check out my previous survey posts.
