Carmex Lotion Review & GIVEAWAY!

2011-11-30T13:28:00.000-05:00

A few weeks ago Carmex® contacted and sent me the above lotions and creams. Just in time for winter! I received a 4 oz Healing Cream, 5.5 oz Healing Lotion and smaller .75 oz versions of both. I was happy to receive them, the smaller ones would be great to toss in a purse and the large ones are perfect for regular use! I'm actually keeping the smaller ones to use for travel, because I ALWAYS end up needed a great lotion when I'm away from home.

I think my favorite was the Healing Cream. It worked great on my hands, but also does wonders on my dry winter legs. A major plus was they are fairly thick so you don't need to use a whole lot to get good coverage. A small dot is plenty for your hands, and a larger dollop, not even the size of a quarter is good enough for a leg. Even though the Healing Cream is slightly thicker than the Healing Lotion, I enjoyed using them interchangeably. Both are awesome daily lotions that aren't too heavy and aren't at all greasy. You could put it on your skin and then get dressed without having to wait for it to soak in or dry. They fit naturally into my routine and I'm happy for that. I don't know what else to really say, just use them and you'll love them!

A little about Carmex®: For over 70 years people have come to love the healing power of Carmex® lip balms. Finally, Carmex® Skin Care is here with a new solution to heal, soothe and moisturize your dry skin.

Fun Surprise from Frito-Lay!

2011-11-21T21:18:00.001-05:00

A while ago (I don't even remember when!) I signed up for the 'Frito-Lay Fan Progam'. It's always fun to try new products and receive freebies in the mail. Check out what they sent me above!! ^^

Not much to say other than I've been a long-time Frito-Lays fan. I buy Lays Chips pretty much weekly. My husband eats them every day with his lunch. It makes me feel pretty good that they are only made with potatoes, oil and salt--so I don't mind as much when my son wants to eat them too I know exactly what he's eating. I don't buy Sun Chips very often, but I do love them. My husband loves the Harvest Cheddar, but I really love the French Onion. Oh, and the Hint of Lime Tortilla Chips, yum!!! These are amazing with salsa. I'm definitely looking forward to enjoying these with my family!

Here are some really fun facts about Frito-Lay:

Many of our chips are made with three simple ingredients: potatoes or corn, oil and salt.
We use all-natural oils, such as corn and sunflower oils, so our chips have 0 grams trans fat.
Most of our chips contain less salt than you think! A 1-oz serving of Lay’s® Classic potato chips has about the same amount of sodium as a slice of white bread.
We offer a Lightly Salted line of chips -- available in Lay’s® potato chips and Fritos® corn chips, which contain 50 percent less sodium than their regular counterparts. All Lay’s® Classic potato chips, SunChips® multigrain snacks and Tostitos® tortilla chips are made with all natural ingredients, meaning they don’t contain any artificial flavors, artificial preservatives or MSG.
Many varieties of Tostitos® tortilla chips contain 8 grams of whole grain corn per serving, and SunChips ® multigrain snacks have 18 grams of whole grain and 2 grams fiber per serving.
Frito-Lay supports American farmers and buys the potatoes we use to make potato chips from 80+ farms across 27 states.
We use technologies that create renewable energy, such as solar panels and biomass boilers, in some of our manufacturing plants.
Frito-Lay has the largest private, all-electric fleet of delivery trucks in the U.S.
All Frito-Lay manufacturing plants are taking measures to divert at least 99 percent of waste from landfills. One way we’re doing this is by reusing our shipping cartons up to six times before recycling them, helping reduce cardboard waste.

Green Mountain Coffee - Review & GIVEAWAY!

2011-10-31T15:47:00.005-04:00

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

As a BzzAgent, a few weeks ago I signed up to be part of the Green Mountain Coffee® BzzCampaign. Then not long after that I got in the mail a package containing a bag of their "House Blend" as well as "Pumpkin Spice". It was one of the most exciting mail days I've had in a while! Read below to see how you can enter to win a bag of your own!

Fall has officially set in. While I am not a fan of the cooler weather, I do love the flavors of the season. How great was it that I was sent a bag of the Pumpkin Spice?? The other weekend I opened the bag and made myself a couple of cups. My entire house filled with the scent of Pumpkin Spice, my husband honestly thought I was baking a pumpkin pie. I wondered if it would taste as good as it smelled. I've definitely been let down before. Not even close. Literally 3 words: LIQUID PUMPKIN PIE! A little bit of milk and sugar makes this coffee so perfect for the season. I've made it through most of the bag myself and it's only been about 2 weeks. It definitely isn't for the faint of heart; it is potent. The smell does not disappoint and if you do not like pumpkin or pumpkin spice, this likely will not appeal to you.

I have been so in love with the Pumpkin Spice that I haven't even opened the bag of the House Blend yet. I'm going to make a guess that it will be a delicious cup of coffee—so look out for that review.

Don't know about Green Mountain Coffee®?? Here are some facts:

Has the largest selection of Fair Trade Certified™ coffees in the U.S.
Is a division of Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, Inc., the largest roaster of Fair Trade Certified™ Coffee in the world – purchasing over 106 million pounds of Fair Trade coffee in the past 10 years
Has been supporting Fair Trade for over a decade, working with Fair Trade USA, a nonprofit third party that certifies and promotes Fair Trade products
Is the leading brand in K-Cup® portion packs for Keurig® brewers and is also available in ground and whole bean bags
Is available nationally in most grocery stores, online at GreenMountainCoffee.com and in convenience stores, workplaces, college campuses and restaurants across the country

How does Fair Trade make a difference?

Fair Trade provides a direct link between farmers and Green Mountain Coffee®, cutting out the middlemen known as "coyotes."
Farmers are paid a fair price for their harvest: Fair Trade farmers are guaranteed a minimum price for their coffee, and if market prices exceed the minimum, they receive current market prices plus a separate payment called a premium
Farming families and communities are supported: Farmers within a co-op vote to determine how to invest their Fair Trade premiums to best benefit their own communities funding projects like schools, roads, health clinics, and safe drinking water.
Sustainable farming practices are promoted: To become Fair Trade Certified™, farmers must adhere to a number of environmental standards, like protecting water resources, and restricting the use of pesticides and certain chemicals
Working conditions are bettered: Fair Trade Certified™ communities must follow strict labor laws and practices that are in place to protect workers
You get high-quality coffee: Farmers use their Fair Trade premiums to invest in their businesses for things like drying patios and mineral-rich compost. These investments and requirements result in higher-quality coffee for you and your family.

So what does that all mean? It means that Green Moutanin Coffee can deliver absolutely delicious coffee to you at the same time as doing great things for everyone involved including the environment. Did I say it was delicious? Because seriously, wow. All of their effort is absolutely worth it.

And now for the giveaway...

Frugal Idea: Reusing Handsoap Pumps!

2011-09-20T14:16:00.000-04:00

The Dawn Hand Renewal is frequently on sale at Rite Aid and CVS for 99¢, and there is usually a $1 coupon available making it FREE. I don't know how many bottles of this I have! I ran out of hand soap next to my kitchen sink the other day and had a though to put the pump part of the soap on top of the Dawn bottle. Ta-da!! It fits!! The 'straw' part of it doesn't reach all the way to the bottom so I did hold onto the top so I can replace it later. But now washing dishes or washing hands is just as easy as a squirt away!

Another option would be to just refill the hand soap container with the Dawn or any body wash (which is also very often available for cheap or free).

Every Little Bit Helps...Inbox Dollars®

2011-09-20T11:21:00.001-04:00

Another site I use to earn some REAL CASH is InboxDollars®. You can earn money by reading (clicking) emails, doing surveys, watching videos, playing games, printing coupons, doing tasks, referring friends...and more!

EMAILS

InboxDollars® sends a few emails a week, all you need to do is simply click on the email to receive your credit. You will earn approximately 2¢ for every email you read.

The emails will often contain an offer as well, if you complete that offer you will get additional credit.

SURVEYS

Surveys can be completed one of two ways: 1) via the link in an email or 2) via the website. You will earn 50¢ for every survey you complete on the website. Surveys received via email can be worth much more!

SHOPPING

Earn a percentage of the money you spend back as CASH!

OFFERS

Complete offers (some free; some require a purcahse or participation) and earn cash back!

COUPONS

Print coupons.com coupons through InboxDollars® and earn 10¢ for each one you redeem.

...AND MORE

Sign up, check out the site and see all the ways you can earn! Do tasks, download the toolbar ($1.00 bonus!!), watch videos.

CASHING OUT

Once you reach a $30 threshold you can request payment. Be careful to read the terms, checks are only sent on certain days of the year. After you request your first check you will reach GOLD MEMBER status. Gold Members earn cash faster, which means you earn your next check sooner!

It may take a while to earn your first $30, but your money does not expire so just keep at it!

Every Little Bit Helps...MyPoints.com

2011-09-19T08:00:00.003-04:00

MyPoints.com is one of my favorite ways to earn 'money' online. The points you earn on MyPoints.com can be redeemed for real gift cards. The gift cards are mailed to you, not virtual gift card codes. MyPoints.com has so many point earning opportunities. Shopping online, printing & redeeming coupons, buying Groupons, Surveys, searches, sharing and (easiest of all) emails. Click through to find out more!

EMAILS

Once registered with MyPoints.com, you can expect to receive 1-5 emails basically every day. I have a filter set up in my email to group them all together so they are easy to go through.

Earning points from the emails is easy; all you need to do is click through. Most emails will earn you 5 points minimum, but if you complete the offer in the email you can receive many more. The offers vary greatly, and you are under no obligation to complete any offer.

All emails will have an expiration date, clearly stated in the email. You must click/complete the offer by that date to be credited the points. So it is best to keep up with the emails as fairly often, no more than a few days to keep it from getting overwhelming.

SURVEYS

Surveys can be accessed one of two ways: 1) via email and 2) via the 'Survey Zone' on the website. You earn 50 points for every survey successfully completed and 10 points for surveys you attempt but do not qualify. The surveys vary greatly in topic and length. Each survey will ask you basic demographic information, and if you qualify you will be asked to proceed. Honestly, there are very few surveys I have ever qualified for.

COUPONS

Earning points with coupons is so very easy! Go to the Coupons page of the site (Deals > Grocery Coupons) and you can print the same coupons as you could from Coupons.com or Smartsource.com and you can activate Cellfire coupons as well. Earn 10 Points for every Coupons.com coupon you print and redeem. Plus, earn 25 Bonus Points when you print and redeem and 10 or more Coupons.com, Smartsource.com coupons or when you save and redeem any 10 or more Cellfire coupons in a month. The important thing to note is the AND REDEEM. I print all of my coupons.com and smartsource.com coupons through MyPoints.com.

SHOPPING

When you shop online, go to MyPoints.com first; find your retailer, click through to their website and shop as normal. By doing this you earn X number of points per dollar that you spend. Most major merchants and even some smaller unexpected ones are part of the listing. I wish Amazon was available earn through, but alas, it is not.

In additional to 'retail' shopping, you can also book through major discount travel sites through MyPoints.com and earn 2 points per dollar you spend on your booking! Pick your booking and choose Priceline, Orbitz, Hotwire or Travelocity. Save money AND earn some back too!

Another great shopping opportunity to save money and earn some back is to purchase Groupons through MyPoints.com. Visit the Local Deals page (Deals > Local Deals) and put in your zip code. Under the map will show the Groupons available in your area. In the description it will tell you how many points per dollar you will earn with the purchase.

Toolbar

The MyPoints.com tool bar is the 'Point Finder'. The toolbar can be used for seaching and you earn points for the total number of searches done in a month's time.
1-10 searches: 10 points
11-20 searches: 25 Points
21-30 searches: 50 Points
31 or more searches: 75 Points
PLUS!! You get 100 bonus points just for downloading the toolbar.

REWARDS!

The best part after you've earned all of those points...REDEEMING THEM! There are over 75 merchants with values of $10, $25 or $50 gift cards available for most of them. Walmart, Starbucks, Old Navy, Panera, Target, Sears, Subway, TJ Maxx, Walgreens, Kmart, CVS, Lowes, Home Depot, Gap...and so many more! Use them yourself, or give them as gifts; they come in the mail as a physical card just like you'd buy in the store itself. The cards take about a month to receive, maybe a little longer if requested around the holidays.

If you'd like to join send me an email at smorgan865@gmail.com and I'll send you a referral!

Rite Aid 9/19 - FREE Crest Toothpaste and 7UP ($6 UPR MM)

2011-09-18T11:27:00.000-04:00

-$4 UPR • OOP: 91¢ • UPR: +$11

This is the kind of Rite Aid trip I needed! Since my coupon binder was lost/stolen and all my UP Rewards with it I had to start over. This week in particular, the Crest toothpaste and 7UP both ring up lower than the sale price with the 20% Wellness discount. Through most of the summer Rite Aid has been keeping tally with Oral Care products, when you purchase $25 worth (purchase price) you get a $5 UP Reward. I hit my $25 tally today, so I got a 'bonus' $5 UPR. So today's trip was actually a $6 UPR Money Maker!

(2) Crest Complete $2.79 ea = $5.58
(3) 7UP $1.11 ea = $3.33
- (2) $2 Crest Complete Toothpaste (9/11 SS)
- $4 UP
= .91 OOP
Got back: $2 7UP UPR; (2) $2 Crest UPR and $5 Oral Care UP

Without a Wellness discount this transaction would still be free but look like:
(2) Crest Complete $2.99 ea = $5.98
(3) 7UP 3/$3.99
- (2) $2 Crest Complete Toothpaste (9/11 SS)
=$5.97
Get back: $2 7UP UPR; (2) $2 Crest UPR

Amazing Find at TJ Maxx!

2011-09-16T08:25:00.004-04:00

OOP: $5

I love awesome clearance finds! Max Studio dress only $5, can you believe it?!! MSRP $98, TJ Maxx original price $39.99. It has a few snags in the fabric, but not bad. Now I just need somewhere to wear it.

Every Little Bit Helps...Earning Money Online & Product Loyalty Programs

2011-09-16T07:45:00.003-04:00

Most of us spend hours online, so why not make it a little more worthwhile? There are probably hundreds (or thousands?!) of sites out there that you can sign up and put forth little time and participation to earn a little something back. Over the next few weeks or so I will periodically post information about various sites I belong to, and what I earn from them. Small disclaimer: a few of them may contain referral links.

Holiday season isn't too far around the corner, so maybe this could add a little cushion into your holiday spending budget. Which of course as of late, seems to be getting smaller for everyone.

No, it won't make you rich, and more than likely it will not generate enough to be considered a significant source of income, but like I said every little bit helps!

Carmex Giveaway WINNER!

2011-09-05T21:05:00.000-04:00

CONGRAULATIONS LAURA!

Laura is the winner of the Carmex Picnic Blanket and Click Sticks Giveaway. I would like to thank all of you who entered please stay tuned for more great opportunities! Thanks for reading :)

8 HOUR GIVEAWAY! Carmex Picnic Blanket & Click Sticks!

2011-09-05T09:06:00.000-04:00

Carmex sent me the awesome pictured products above to give them a try and best of share one with one lucky Savings Cravings reader!

They also included a bonus Moisture Plus Lip Balm for me, wohoo!! The Moisture Plus Lip Balm has become one of my favorite Carmex products. It goes on very smooth and light, and is truly moisturizing. I find myself needing to use it less often than other lip balms. Plus it is a more slender tube compared to other lip balms, with a slightly slanted tip, so application feels a little more natural.

The kit included 2 NEW flavors of Carmex Click Sticks—Lime Twist & Vanilla. I am loving the Lime Twist! It was great for summertime. It is just as great as Original, with a great new twist on flavor. As always, both click sticks have SPF 15 protection and use beeswax for that awesome moisturized and smooth feeling. To be completely honest, I'm not a big fan of vanilla scented/flavored products and the Vanilla click stick was just too vanilla-y for me. So if you love Vanilla, I'm sure you'll love this! The Lime Twist has been in my purse/pocket/bedside for a couple of weeks now. Both the Lime Twist and Vanilla are available at Walgreens, Walmart and CVS. If you don't already...you can always love, I mean like, Carmex on Facebook.

The giveaway includes everything in the picture above: 1 Carmex Picnic Blanket, 1 Carmex Lime Twist click stick and 1 Carmex Vanilla click stick. I am very sorry for the short notice, but winner must be confirmed TONIGHT. Prize will be sent directly from Carmex, so please allow some time for shipping.

Dr. Scholl's® For Her High Heel Insoles Review & GIVEAWAY! 5 Winners!

2011-08-29T07:30:00.011-04:00

Nothing ruins a cute pair of shoes more than them making your feet ache when you wear them. It makes it hard to want to wear them, and then what's the point? [[Enter Dr. Scholl's® For Her High Heel Insoles]].

Ok, I know you may be thinking that insoles are just for the elderly or stinky feet...let me be the first to tell you that isn't further from the truth! Thanks to Bzz Agent I was able to recently try a pair of Dr. Scholl's® For Her High Heel Insoles. I work at a desk and don't walk around too very often, so I put them to the test at home. Making dinner, cleaning up, laundry, up and down the stairs, and chasing after a 2 year old...in my heels!! Haha, it was quite the sight. It was a little weird to get used to at first, but soon I forgot I was even wearing heels; let alone an insole!

So I made dinner, carried some laundry downstairs, went back upstairs to pick up random clutter, ate dinner, cleaned dishes, back down to switch the laundry, back up to get the little one to bed, back down to get the clean laundry. Very much a typical evening (excluding the heels!). I barely noticed I was wearing them.

I would love to try these out at a long social gathering where I would be standing and/or dancing. I just haven't had the opportunity yet.

What's even cooler, is Bzz Agent also sent me a BUNCH of coupons for Dr. Scholl's® For Her High Heel Insoles and I'm going to share them with you!! (5) Five Savings Cravings readers are going to win (2) $4.00 Off 1 Dr. Scholl's® For Her High Heel Insoles!

What is Swagbucks? How to get started...

2011-05-24T22:52:00.001-04:00

Swagbucks.com is an online site that offers MANY opportunities to earn a virtual currency called "Swagbucks" (SB). You can trade the Swagbucks in for a HUGE variety of rewards from stickers and gift cards to even gaming consoles!
Some of the ways to earn Swagbucks are:

Searching the web
Watching Videos (Swagbucks TV)
Voting in the Daily Poll (1SB daily for voting)
Trusted Surveys (1SB daily JUST for visiting!)
Completing Special Offers
Using the Toolbar (1SB daily just for loading it)
Entering SwagCodes
Inviting Friends (You earn when they earn from searching!)
Printing & Redeeming coupons
Playing games (Earn with tournaments)
Sending in Prize Photos and Videos
Shopping in the Shop & Earn Section
Purchasing Daily Deals (Groupon, Eversave, Living Social, Mertado, etc)
Completing Tasks
Trade in electronics

One of the first things I suggest doing is to install Swagbucks as your default search engine or use the toolbar. Every time you need to search, use Swagbucks search. Swagbucks are randomly awarded for searching, so you never know when you'll get one! Learn more about the plugins and toolbar here: http://swagbucks.com/g/toolbars-and-plugins

Next, connect with Facebook. In your account settings turn on all the checkboxes. This will allow Swagbucks to automatically post to your wall when you earn from searches, earn from a Swag Code, get a new referral, redeem a prize, make a Shop & Earn purchase, or earn from trading in. All of these wall posts act as a referral link. Increasing your chances of getting a referral. Remember, with referrals, when they search & win, you earn the same number of Swagbucks (up to 1,000 SBs per person). Learn more about connecting with Facebook here: http://swagbucks.com/p/fb-connect

Earn a minimum of 2,190 SBs a Year! 6 SBs daily

Earn 6 SBs daily, with very little effort:

1 SB: Load the Toolbar
1 SB: Visit the Trusted Survey Page
1 SB: Vote in the Daily Poll
1 SB: Invite Friends
2 SB: Complete the No Obligation Special Offers (NOSO) Path

Trusted Surveys

Visit the Trusted Survey Page each day and earn 1 SB. You can also see if you can qualify for any available surveys. The rewards for completing surveys varies. Also from the survey page, you can complete your Profile and earn points for each section (just once). This helps to target surveys.

Daily Poll

Vote on the Daily Poll each day and earn 1 SB. The questions are often user submitted, and are just for fun.

No Obligation Special Offers (NOSO)

Complete the offer path by signing up or skipping the offers. Enter a Captcha code at the end and earn 2 SBs!

Swagbucks TV

Earn 3 SBs for every 10 videos you watch. There is a HUGE variety of videos available within 7 main sections: News, Entertainment, Technology, Fashion & Beauty, Food, Home & Gardens, and Health & Safety.

Swag Codes

Occasionally there is a Swag Code available. This can be announced in the blog, chat bar, Twitter, Facebook, Swidget. Sometimes it's an easy copy and paste; sometimes it's a scavenger hunt. Once you get the code, paste it next to the "Gimme" button on the main Swagbucks page, on the right hand side.

You can periodically check the Swidget I have in my sidebar here in the blog to see if there is code. Try it now, click the "Swag Codes" button:

Earn then Redeem!

Once you start accumulating swagbucks, trade in for gift cards or other merchandise in the Swag Store.

$5 Amazon gift codes are just 450 swagbucks, and you can redeem 5 of them a month. That is $25 of FREE Amazon money!
$5 PayPal Cash is only 700 SBs!
$10 Starbucks gift card = 1300 SBs
Jewelry, electronics, gaming consoles, gift cards, music downloads...AND MORE!!

Product Review: Orange Flavored Carmex Moisture Plus™

2011-04-13T21:28:00.003-04:00

To answer the question....YES!!

I was so very excited to get the opportunity to try a possible brand new Carmex flavor, ORANGE! I'm a big fan of Carmex, and was very curious about this new flavor. So when I was given the opportunity, without hesitation I responded yes, please!

So for the last several weeks I have been wearing this every chance I got. It goes on smooth, with just a hint of orange. Nothing overpowering, just subtle enough to recognize it...just right. So I kept this with me throughout the day. I'd apply it when I needed it. But you know what...I didn't really need to apply it all that often throughout the day! It goes on and lasts, just like I have come to expect from Carmex products. My favorite would be when I would apply at night before bed and when I wake up my lips are noticeably soft. What I really liked was the fact it lasted through most of my day. Even if I was eating or drinking my lips still felt moisturized.

Moisturizes ✔

Long-Lasting ✔

So bottom line, I am VERY excited for the possibility of Carmex adding this flavor to their lineup. Great moisture and long-lasting and a great subtle flavor, what else could you want? Orange Flavored Carmex Moisture Plus™ has it all! Choosing Carmex is easy, but it would be difficult to choose between the original and this orange flavor.

So let me ask you...How would YOU feel about Carmex adding this to their product lineup?

I was sent 1 of these to test for this review. The opinnions and experiences described are my truthful, honest opinions of this Carmex product.

I then used 2 of my $5 Amazon Codes I earned from Swagbucks, to score this for only 15¢!

Savings Cravings Give-a-way!
Carmex Moisture Plus™ Sheer Pink and Sheer Peach Tint Lip Balm®

Welcome to the very first Savings Cravings Giveaway! About 2 weeks ago I received in the mail Carmex Moisture Plus™ Sheer Pink and Sheer Peach Tint Lip Balms®. I've been using them as much as I can since then and overall, I really like them! And guess what?! You have a chance to try them for yourself too. Details below.

Here are some of my findings...I was so excited when I saw them! By the packaging I thought the colors would maybe be more 'frosted', so I was very glad to find out they weren't. Actually both colors are very subtle and look quite natural. The moisture lasts for a long time, however I did notice the tint rubs off fairly easily. I would not consider this a substitute for lipstick (which I never wear anyway). This was a great product for everyday use and actually felt slightly more 'put together' by wearing it.

The moisture was great! My lips truly felt hydrated and I didn't feel like I needed to reapply all that often. A few times a day is probably about it, when I was thinking about it. I never felt like my lips were so dry I "needed" it.

Another thing that was nice, it still had that "Carmex Tingle"...love it!

Ok, ok...so how do you get yours?
