Country Bob's All Purpose Sauce * Review & Giveaway *

 I received my  Country Bob's All Purpose Sauce  a few weeks ago, but wanted to really try it out before doing my review .
After experimenting and using this Steak, Chicken  & Fries sauce for SO much more, I have decided it is my Favorite Sauce ! It can replace Ketchup , replace steak sauces and replace bbq. Depending on what ya use it on.
  Here is my  favorite dish I have used it on :
Sorry  for the not so neat plating and placement, but we were having the late night "munchies" and just threw this together , I thought of the pic for the review after.
      On the Plate is some fresh  venison that my fiance had literally just gotten through butchering for a friend , along with potato skins  and crispy fries on the side. Country Bob's All Purpose Sauce across the top,
      YUM! Is the best word to describe it .  The venison did not taste gamey at all , even though it was freshly cut - I was in awe. Country Bob's   made the flavor more than edible . We couldn't get enough of it! It also makes a great  replacement for Ketchup on the fries.  The taste is so unique and versatile that I am now contemplating NOT giving my Mother the second bottle I have  since I am almost out of the first one!
 Don't worry, Mom - I wouldn't do that , You must experience the Goodness of Country Bob's .Speaking of, not only will my Mom get a Bottle to try,  I am very happy to say that  I have teamed up with Al over at Country Bob's All Purpose Sauce  to give  one more  lucky reader 2 FREE bottles of this delicious sauce!

My Statement about Hurricane Sandy

What a year this year has been so far. Many areas across the US and beyond have been affected by nasty weather and other emergencies.
 Hurricane Irene has already flooded out and snowed in many people across the East Coast.
 My area is just now beginning to get the weather. We have bitter cold temps and the rain is just now starting to turn into snow. At this time my area is just expected to get up to 3 inches over night, continuing into Wednesday.  I know that is not as bad or life threatening as it has been to  other areas along the East Coast, and my heart and prayers go out to those being affected and their families.
I have family in Maryland and South West Virginia that are undergoing hard hits . I hope my family and yours stays safe and warm during this devastating weather.
Tip: if you have drafty areas in your house, take newspaper and fold the pages longways, and stick into any gaps in the door or windows. This will help keep the heat in and prevent you from having to turn the heat up [if you have electric heat], saving on your energy bill  a little bit.

New Survey Site - My Favorite!

 Today I want to tell you all about a survey site I recently found.[I have my fiance's best friend to think for this one.]
 The site is called Instant Cash Sweepstakes .  I am not big on taking surveys, even though I am signed up to a LOT of survey sites.  Instant Cash Sweepstakes is by far my favorite. You never get disqualified from a survey- and the surveys are very short - just 3-4 questions. They are more like polls. So how does it work?
 You click any of the Instant Cash Sweepstakes links I have posted in here, and sign up  then you will instantly get surveys to complete.  A lot of the time you will just win tickets and coins. I usually get multipliers which double or triple my tickets and coins. If you get a survey with questions you have answered before and answer it exactly the same as you did before, your winnings will be doubled or tripled, guaranteed.  
   Once you start doing the surveys regularly you will get cash for doing them. I get anywhere between $.01-$.03 at least a few times  a day.  I know that doesn't sound like much, but the cool thing is you can cash out to pay pal once you have earned only $2 !
  They will only let you do so many surveys in a row, and then they will make you take a break and come back in a couple hours for more. So, you basically just spend 5-10 minutes each time , if that .
 So what are tickets and coins for ?  Every day at 8 Pm est they have a drawing for $50 - all of your tickets will automatically be entered for the $50 each day [ so after the drawing you will have 0 tickets until you do your next survey]. You can take your coins and either enter some or all of them into a drawing [which occurs every 4 hours] for $2 , OR you can use them to buy more tickets to be used for the $50 drawing.
 Instant Cash Sweepstakes is the most fun survey site I have ever used, and I don't think a lot of people know about it , so be sure that once you sign up you tell your friends about it - Once they start earning instant cash you will get the same amount of cash that they earn every time - there is no cap on how much you can win from referrals.  You won't get $50 if they win the $50 sweepstakes, but you will win whatever cash they get from surveys, and you will be matched with the $2 if they win it in the drawing.
 I have only been doing it a week and have almost gotten the $2 to cash out with, and am earning more and more tickets each day towards the $50.  I typically have anywhere between 1500 tickets [without using my coins to buy more] and have had up to 10,000 tickets [using my coins to buy more] entered for the big draw.
   Have I convinced you yet? If so, sign up by clicking HERE and start earning cash today! Be sure to tell your other frugal friends, and if you have any questions, ask away and I will help as much as I can!

Have Naturally curly hair? This is for US!

  I have been posting many giveaways from NaturallyCurly .I have been doing so because I  have naturally curly hair, which can go from looking nice and smooth  to kinky and unruly within 3o mins, depending on the situation. I have tried several frizz- eaze or smoothing products, and even curl enhancers. Honestly, nothing really WORKS. Maybe it's  because I won't pay over $7 for something I haven't already tried. However, once I found Naturallycurly I knew I had found the perfect website for me and other naturally curly haired ladies out there. I suffer from frizz on a daily basis, which takes away from my curls. And tangles- oh my! I can brush/comb my hair and style it, and 30 mins- 1 hr later there's tangles all in it again.
   NaturallyCurly is having 31 days of giveaways and today is day 15.
  Today's Prize is sponsored by Curly Solutions:

  • Curl Keeper 8oz.
  • Slip Detangler 8oz.
  • Silk Shampoo 8oz.
  • Roller Jaw Clamp 12pk.
  • 5 Curl Keeper 1oz.pks.
There will be 2 prizes, with a value of $62 each

Packaways Plastic Storage Boxes -Review

I recently received this package for review

I was expecting to receive these reusable plastic storage boxes, but was quite surprised at the size of boxes Packways sent to me . 
    They come in all different sizes and colors. I love these bright ones I got.  The coolest thing about these boxes is that you can easily fold them flat for storage . I have all kinds of "stuff" that I had sitting around with no real place to go. I am constantly changing decor and moving things around, so these really come in handy.  When you are ready to use them you simply press on the corner and it automatically folds into place and locks. When empty, just press on the bottom and it folds flat.  These are great for small spaces, storing your seasonal clothes , holiday decorations or anything you can think of.    These also have  2 wipe away panels on them that you can write on with erasable markers . Always know what you have packed away, and when you empty it and put different stuff in the box all you have to do is erase and re- write your contents.  Sure beats brown boxes and duct tape!
           Packaways also has smaller sizes including totes and under the bed boxes.
    ToteUnder Bed

All of their packaway boxes are made in the U.S.A. from durable corrugated plastic, which makes them great for harsh conditions or  long-term storage since moisture and humidity won't effect the integrity of the boxes.
These boxes are more affordable than those big bulky "other" plastic containers that tend to take up so much space [and not fashionable!] If you would like to learn more or check out all their products check out their site: Packaways.com
     I found these boxes to be very good quality and look forward to purchasing some of the totes from them in the future.

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

How I got ALL of Christmas for FREE last yr.- Pt.2

One word :
   Swag Bucks
  I did not use swag bucks at all when I first signed up. I just really didn't get how great it was.  My sister was telling me how she bought all of her school books off of Amazon , with money she earned on Swag Bucks. We know how expensive college  books can be.
    Around late October early November I was out of work and Christmas was almost here. I decided I had to earn some money for Christmas presents. I did spend A LOT of time with Swag bucks it seemed, but no more than a few hours at the start of the day , and off and on throughout the day.  I was earning 5 gift cards [ at 450 swag bucks each] every week .  You are only allowed to cash in on 5 on any same denomination for one company. I typically got    5 $5 gift cards . At one point I had a couple of active referrals, which helped- I got bucks whenever they won searching , but once you get 1,000 total bucks from that person you won't earn anymore from them. So the more active people you have , the faster you are going to be able to cash in. During those months I got 5 $5 Amazon Gift Cards and  either 1 $10 card or a 1 $20 Gift Card. a month .So I made anywhere from 25-40 bucks a week to spend on Amazon.  I love Amazon because I can find anything I wanted on there, and Had a promo code for Free Amazon Prime, so I got free two- day shipping on all of my Christmas presents . [ Been looking for one recently, and haven't come across one - hopefully right before Christmas ]

 The easiest and fastest way to earn Swag bucks is by doing these four things :

1) Daily Poll
2) NOSO  - skip all the offers, and put in word at the end
3) search the web using their browser.  Give it a few tries and then you will get a message that you won swag bucks. You generally have to confirm this or enter a captcha.  Be sure to share on your timeline, because that is a good way to get people to sign up under you.

You won't get search wins back to back,  go back after a few hours and  search again . Most days you can get at least 3 wins just for searching [ sometimes more!]

4) Watch videos. You get swag bucks every time your meter gets full [ usually after watching 30 seconds of about 8 videos or so ].


You get $50 Bucks for your Birthday

They don't spam you. I never get emails other to confirm when I cashed in for gift cards, and when it's available.  Or on my birthday. I never buy anything to get swag bucks in return, although there are many options to do so for people who like to online shop  and has the card to do it. 

 You can get swag bucks just for printing their coupons . [once coupons are redeemed in stores]. The possibilites are endless, and you can earn a lot, or just enough. 

   You won't need a credit card this Christmas if you start earning now , trust me.  You don't have to choose between the bills or presents.Pay the bills with the paycheck, and Get Gift Cards to your favorite stores or Amazon and get all the presents for FREE.  However, if you really need the cash , you can also get PayPal Gift Cards and have the cash put straight in the bank or on your prepaid card .

Are you ready to sign up and start earning? Click here :Sign Up. Take 10 minutes and make some money today.  If you have any questions ask away and I will help the best I can.
 Everyone who leaves a comment will be entered  to win the $10 Sephora Gift Card I won yesterday [ along with the people who commented on the Getting to know me ]

 Just comment telling me if you already use Swagbucks, or if you just signed up :) Get entries in before 8PM est . Winner will be emailed after Once Upon A Time and Revenge Go off :)
