Kellogg's Box

Thank you Kellogg's.  Mr UPS came and dropped off a box of Kellogg's products that have yet to hit the shelves.  We're one of many who get to test out their new items.  So excited!

We received:

*Rice Krispies Brown Rice (Gluten Free)
*Mini-Wheats Centers Mixed Berry Flavor
*Corn Pops Cinnamon
*Rice Krispies Granola - Strawberry flavor (Which my son already hacked into and was eating one)
*All Bran Bars - Orange Cranberry Flavor (Which has a $1.00 off coupon on the side of the box)

Also in the box was a coupon booklet.  It contains awesome coupons:

*$2.50 off Rice Krispies Brown Rice 340g OR Rice Krispies cereal, any size
*$2.50 off Mini-Wheats Centers 510g OR Mini-Wheats cereals, any flavor, any size
*$2.00 off Orange-Cranberry All-Bran bars 180g OR All-Bran bars, any flavor, any size
*$2.50 off Cinnamon Pops 340g OR Kellogg's Corn Pops, any size
*$2.00 off Rice Krispies Granola bars 161g OR Rice Krispies Squares bars, any flavor, any size
*$2.00 off Nutri-Grain Superfruit bars 295g OR any Nurti-Grain Bars, any size
all expire April 30, 12

Can't wait to try some of these.  :)  I'll post after we have tried them all.  :D

Happy New Year!

Alright, I'm not going to lie, I've been lazy.  Very lazy indeed.  Somehow the holidays have taken all my energy and thrown it out the window.  Even before they hit, somehow my energy level dropped.

Anyways, my New Years Resolution is to keep up with my couponing (cookon as my son calls it) and this blog...and the ever necessary weight-loss.  I know, I know, everyone has that as theirs, but I'm paying for a gym membership and not using it, so no more wasted money, time to get skinny!  :)

On to the reason for my blog.  I quit keeping count once I hit my target for the year ($1000.00) so now I need to come up with a new one for the New Year!

Anyways, have a wonderful holiday.  Don't drink and drive, stay safe.
