CLOSED: Pillsbury Sweet Moments Review and Giveaway
I had the amazing opportunity to review Pillsbury Sweet Moments! I could choose between the Bite Size or the Molten Lava Brownies and I chose the Bite Size.
These are absolutely delicious!
They are better than any candy or brownie or cookie or cake that I have EVER had!
They are truly fantastic!! If you are a chocolate lover...I would HIGHLY recommend these!!!
For me, I would eat them during that little time when I first come home from work and nobody else is there yet and I can sit back and relax. This is a really limited time, so the Pillsbury Sweet Moments were absolutely perfect because they are already made and Ready to Eat in their refrigerated bag!!
On top of them being the best store bought desert I have ever had...they are from a trusted brand, Pillsbury. We have used Pillsbury rolls, crescents, etc. for so many years and I know that I am always going to get the same high quality product. It is nice to have consistency in food products (ESPECIALLY when they taste as good as Pillsbury Sweet Moments).
BUY IT:
Personally, I think that the bag is worth EVERY penny!! If you compare the price of the bag to the purchase price of a candy bar that you would replace it with (you would have to buy multiple candy bars) the bag turns into a steal of a deal! So, when you go to your local grocery store and are looking in the refrigerated baked goods check these out because if you are a chocolate lover like me...you'll love them!
WIN IT:
The amazing people over at My Blog Spark are allowing me to host a fantastic giveaway!! They are going to give one of my readers the same prize pack that I received.
This giveaway will end on October 7th at 11:59 pm CST. The winner will be contacted via the e-mail address provided in the comments and will have 48 hours to respond before another winner is chosen.
*I received the package pictured above from Pillsbury which included the free product, information, and prize pack. This was done by Pillsbury through MyBlogSpark.

CLOSED: STRIDE Everyday Panty Review and Giveaway
Ladies!!
This giveaway is for you! Finally someone has come out and talked about something that many women are embarrassed to talk about, the light leaks that happen throughout the day. Whether it is because of a hearty laugh, because you are pregnant, age, or exercise...it's happened to almost all of us at least once. These panties ensure that regardless of those leaks that you are covered!
The founder of STRIDE Everyday Panty, Wendy Spencer, has come up with the Oquous technology with a built in liner that Wicks Away moisture, Absorbs Moisture, Doedorizes moisture, and best of all...Keeps you Dry!
Being a woman, she also understands the importance of physical appeal. Instead of most practical items that are limited to a boring selection, there are various styles and colors to choose from!!
This product has been such a success that it is even being featured in SHAPE magazine!!!
This product has been such a success that it is even being featured in SHAPE magazine!!!
While using this product, it really does work! I absolutely loved it and plan on purchasing some more in the future. The only drawback to this product is that they are said to last "100 washes". It depends on what you are used to purchasing. If you are used to purchasing individual panties than the price and value of this is PERFECT for you! If you are used to purchasing panties in packs at stores such as Target, then the price of these are a little steep. If you have an issue with little leaks, these may still be perfect for you, you'll just have to expand your panty budget a little.
As far as being comfortable...they are great!!! I would recommend these to people who have issues with problems such as slight bladder leakage and people who are willing to pay a little extra for a high quality product.
PURCHASE IT:
STRIDE even has a questionnaire on their website to help you in selecting the correct pair! To receive a special discount type in FRUGAL2 when you check out. This will give you FREE shipping on purchases $30 and up. This coupon code is good until November 30th!! They are also available at these stores.

Wilton Cupcakes N' More 38 Ct Dessert Stand Review
I LOVE THIS DESSERT STAND!!!
This is my little creation using the
At first, I thought of it as a cupcake stand, but oh was I wrong!! There are so many uses for this stand!! In the picture above, I used a mini muffin pan for bite size and portion control brownies. I have used this stand for brownies, rice krispies, fruit, muffins, and cupcakes!!! At first I thought that I would use this for entertainment purposes only but I have had it for 3 weeks now and EVERY week I have made something to put on it!
One problem that we have is..."Out of Site, Out of Mind". This is often a problem in many households which causes food to go bad without being consumed in time. When I made muffins two weeks ago, I left them on the stand and everyone remembered to grab one for breakfast on their way out!
I would HIGHLY recommend this cupcake stand to ANYONE!!
An amazing feature about Wilton.com is that they provide various ideas for you for purposes of the item that you purchase. This Cupcakes N' More 38 Ct Dessert Stand had numerous ideas and I have included pictures of two of them.
I have not "Entertained" with this stand yet, but I cannot wait to! I have told numerous people at work about this product because I absolutely LOVE it! Everyone who has stopped by and seen the stand has complimented us on it (even my boyfriend's brothers!!!) Based on your decorating expertise, you can make this a centerpiece for a birthday party instead of a cake and so forth. My mom actually has the Cupcakes N' More 23 Count Standard Dessert Stand and we have already discussed combining them and using them for future events such as birthday parties for the nieces and nephew!
*I received this cupcake stand free of charge from Wilton in exchange for this review. No other compensation was given.

Betty Crocker 20 Ways to Stretch Your Food Dollar
I am subscribed to Betty Crocker's e-mails and on their most recent e-mail that had some money saving tips. I'm sure that most of y'all follow these tips already but there were some tips that I was not aware of and will definitely start paying attention to such as:
Choose from the top or bottom shelves in the grocery store. Items at eye level are usually more expensive.

CVS Purchase 9/7
This week's deals aren't great money makers or anything but I had $28 in extra bucks expiring so I was forced to purchase lots of stuff and what better than the essentials!! I also forgot to use my $1/1 Scott Paper towel rolls coupon and completely forgot about the Trident deal even though I brought my coupon! But despite all of that...here's my purchase this week:
I purchased:
I purchased:
- (2) 24 packs of Nestle Pure Life Water- $2.99 each
- (1) Schick Hydro Razor- $8.97
- Used $5.00/1 Razor (SS 8/8)
- Received $4 ECB
- (1) 6 pack of Scott Paper Towels- $4.99
- Should have used $1/1 Scott Coupon
- (4) Sobe Drinks- $1.59 each BOGO
- Used (2) BOGO Sobe Coupons
- (3) 12-packs of sodas- 3/$11
- No coupons used
- Received $3 ECB
- (2) Kellog's box cereals- $1.77 each
Total: $37.66
After Coupons: $26.98
ECB Used: $24 ECB
Total Paid on Gift Card: $2.98
ECB Received: $7
Net Loss of $17 ECB and $2.98 on GC
Not what I'm used to with CVS but I think that all of them were good buys on items that we use around the house.

Upcoming CSN Stores Review!!!
Since I am moving into a new place soon, I need SOO many items!!
A great place to get all of these items is CSN Stores!!
One of their amazing products that I've been looking at are their Bistro Sets!!
These are great for both apartments and houses which is perfect for me since I'll still be moving around for the next few years!! Whether you are looking for an apartment, a kitchen nook, Pub Set, or even dining room table...these Bistro Sets are perfect!!
What makes CSN Stores so great when it comes to these sets is that they have FREE SHIPPING on most of them!! What a concept?!? I've seen other retailers that will charge as much as $250 for shipping! Even for them to put it together for you in the room of your choice and remove the packaging the price is about $150! If you have somebody handy around though, they allow you to make that choice instead of forcing you to have it delivered for an outrageous charge.
I am going to be hosting a CSNStores.com Review soon!
It's going to be another item that I need for my new place!
Be on the look out for the Review!!

A little about Wind Warrior:
Wind Warrior ~ The Iroquois Series ~ Book One
Leslie Michaels is a visionary, and only those close to her know of her special gift and the visions that come when her mind and body surrender to sleep. Fate has a way of righting many wrongs, and for Leslie it is a destiny that changes her life dramatically. But not before she is forced to flee into the wilderness to escape a murderous trapper bent on claiming her for his very own. Faith and a strong will to survive are her only companions, until she encounters Winnokin, the handsome Seneca war chief who first came to her in her dreams. Not only does he prove to be her rescuer and protector, he teaches her that tragedy can breed happiness and the passion to live and love deeply once again.
Wind Warrior plunges readers into the intimate depths of a relationship that unfolds like a live drama before their eyes while painting an insightful and intriguing portrait of Native Indian life in the 1800s. It is a story of longing, of a wanton need to survive all odds, and a love so strong it conquers human evil. Wind Warrior expresses with cunning words the simple, raw human emotions that hold readers spellbound and captivates their hearts.
On Sale
