Good Vibes, Yummy Food and Video Game Adventures



Got a few more campaigns! It's so exciting to be able to try all these new product, especially right before the holidays. 

1. GREAT COFFEE, GOOD VIBES, CHOOSE FAIR TRADE™




BzzAgent.com sent me Fair Trade Certified Green Mountain Coffee® K-Cup® packs for my Keurig. I've always chosen Green Mountain Coffee so I am thrilled now that there is a fair trade option. A consistantly good cup of joe for my mornings. Now I can feel better about drinking coffee when I need a pick me up! Here is what the company has to say about it too: 

THREE CONTINENTS, ONE GREAT CUP OF COFFEE

The only thing that might be richer than the benefits of purchasing Fair Trade coffee are the flavors. As the largest purchaser of Fair Trade Certified coffee, Green Mountain Roasters, Inc. (the parent company of Green Mountain Coffee®) knows the quality is second to none. That’s why they offer a wide selection of Fair Trade coffees, including brand-new Three Continent Blend, which combines the flavors and aromas of South America, Africa, and Asia into one harmonious Extra Bold Blend.

..ALONGSIDE KELLY CLARKSON

Want a firsthand look at how the Fair Trade movement affects coffee-farming communities? Green Mountain Coffee® took Kelly Clarkson on a trip to Peru, allowing you to experience the benefits of Fair Trade through her eyes thanks to videos and journals at ChooseFairTrade.com, where you can exclusively download her Fair Trade song.

2. Land O' Lakes® Sauté Express® Sauté Starter

Saute Express


So they say all you have to do is unwrap it, drop it in the pan, watch it melt and then add your meat, cooked noodles or heck, even tofu! It’s the perfect one-step, no-prep way to flavor your favorite foods. So I went out and bought the Garlic and Herb flavor with my coupons for a free product that came in my BzzKit. 
Well, they weren't too far off!  I was plesantly surpised at both its flavor and ease of use. I thought it was a wad of garlic butter but it wasn't! Sauté Express ® Sauté Starter combines butter, olive oil, and a variety of herbs and spices into a convenient square that I just through into a pan, waited for it to melt and then then threw in my chicken while I boiled some three cheese tortellini. When both were finished, I cut up the chicken and tossed them together. So good. So easy. It surely made a delicious dinner after a long day much easier. 
We enjoyed it so much that we tried it with some pollock fish fillets for our friends. Maybe it was just me but the fish seemed more difficult to sautee. They tasted good but they didnt end up looking so pretty.
They are available in five savory varieties: Garlic & Herb, Lemon Pepper, Savory Butter & Olive Oil, Italian Herb, and Teriyaki. 

3.Playskool Heroes Transformers Rescue Bots Beam Box Game System 

Transformers Rescue Bots Beam Box

This all-in-one system includes a Beam Box console that connects to your TV and an Optimus Prime figure that your little hero can use to unlock Transformers video games. When he inserts the figure into the console, the figure disappears – and reappears on the screen! Now your little guy can play as Optimus Prime in 5 Rescue Bots games!Each Rescue Bots figure unlocks 5 preschool-appropriate games, allowing your child to become the hero.
I got this entire system for free through BzzAgent.com. And I just saw an ad for this in the ToysRUs magazine for $50! What a deal we got!
Beam Box Game System BzzKit included a console, connector cord, Optimus Prime figure and wireless controller to get the boys started. Oh and of course $10 coupons to share.
Our friends also have 4 children the youngest one being 4. The bigger kids are into Xbox and Playstation and often leave the little one out. We thought that this would be a great thing to give to Logan. Not as difficult and skill intensive like with the Xbox controller but he still feels like he is part of the crowd. Smiles and thumbs up all around!

Til next time!
