Family Gourmet from Family Dollar Review

by Nicole on January 31, 2012

Name of Product: Family Gourmet from Family Dollar

Price of Product: super affordable!

Where can the product be purchased: at Family Dollar stores nationwide

Description of Product:The approaching Super Bowl is not the only competitive game in town this year. Whether you’re gearing up for a big Sunday party or just doing the weekly re-stock of pantry snacks and supplies, that grocery bill can quickly add up. Family Dollar’s private label of food offerings can help anyone save, guaranteed. Shop the aisles of your local Family Dollar store for everyone’s favorites and save $10 vs. the national brand on Family Gourmet snacks. Now that’s a competition worth checking out!”

Review of Product: I am usually skeptical of store brands and find that with coupons I can often save more on name brands – until I was introduced to the Family Gourmet line by Family Dollar that is! These products are considerably less than the name brands and the convenience of shopping in one location for so many items during those weeks when I just don’t have time to clip coupons and plan my trip (yes, it definitely happens!) is just too good to pass up.  We tried a bunch of their products in anticipation of Super Bowl party planning and they were delicious.  The salsa and microwave popcorn were super yummy and completely indistinguishable from the national brand.  I would definitely buy the Family Gourmet line of foods again and am looking forward to it!

I received a sample of these products to review at no charge but my opinions remain my own.

What is Manilla? Manilla is a free web-based service that helps consumers better manage all of their household accounts, including financial, utilities, subscriptions and travel rewards programs, in one secure place online. Under a single password, Manilla provides customers with an automated, organized view of all of their account information, text and/or email reminders to pay bills and unlimited storage of account documents that Manilla has seamlessly retrieved for the consumer.

Why is Manilla necessary? Most people have more than 20 different household accounts, including three to four credit cards, several travel and hotel rewards accounts, multiple magazine and newspaper subscriptions, plus cable, phone, and other assorted utility bills. In order to stay on top of all this, people have to manage daily incoming paper mail, an array of online usernames and passwords, and websites in order to access important account information and take action. Manilla seamlessly retrieves all your account information – current balances, previous payments, upcoming bills due – and stores it for you in one secure place. Most importantly, you need only one password to view, manage and organize it all.

This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Manilla.

Name of Product: P.F. Chang’s Home Menu Items

Where can the product be purchased: at grocers nationwide

Description of Product:  “Prosperity, peace, happiness and longevity all symbolize the Chinese New Year, one of the most important and festive Chinese holidays. In this “Year of the Dragon” beginning January 23, P.F. Chang’s China Bistro and P.F. Chang’s Home Menu want to ignite your good fortune and share the spirit of this holiday with you.

The eve of Chinese New Year, January 22nd, is marked by the reunion of loved ones for a feast. Along with the reunion dinner, the Red Envelope itself represents another significant tradition in Chinese culture. Red Envelopes, filled with gifts, are presented to family and friends during the Chinese New Year. The color red symbolizes good luck, and this Kit – filled with festive items – is our way of helping you celebrate and share the good fortune.

There are a wide variety of P.F. Chang’s Home Menu noodles for you to enjoy! The flavors of Home Menu noodle entrees include Pepper Steak with Chow Fun Noodles, Grilled Chicken Teriyaki with Lo Mein Noodles, Garlic Chicken with Dan Dan Noodles, and Firecracker Shrimp with Yakisoba Noodles.

Find us on Twitter @PFChangs, or on Facebook (facebook.com/pfchangs) to share the Chinese New Year celebration excitement. Don’t forget to tell friends to join the fun, and be on the lookout for a fun Facebook application that will provide you good fortune for the New Year. Stay tuned!”

Review of Product: I received a Red Envelope Kit to celebrate the NEw Year. It contained:

Two P. F. Chang’s Home Menu noodle entrees
· A $10 gift certificate to enjoy at any P.F. Chang’s China Bistro
· Paper lanterns
· Chinese calendar
· Special “Year of the Dragon” T-shirt

This was so much fun! We had a blast putting on the T-shirt and looking over the calendar.  We made both of the meals that came with it – Firecracker Shrimp and Chicken Teriyaki. They were both flavorful and I really liked the semi-spicy taste of the Firecracker Shrimp! The lanterns were fun to hang in Noah’s room and we liked celebrating this fun holiday together thanks to P.F. Chang’s Home Menu!

I received a sample of these products to review at no charge but my opinions remain my own.

KidsExclusive.com Review

by Nicole on January 23, 2012

Name of Product: KidsExclusive.com

Price of Product: varies with large section for items $10 and under!

Where can the product be purchased: online at KidsExclusive.com

Description of Product:KidsExclusive.com is the smart solution for the busier-than-ever mom, allowing you to get AMAZING BRANDS for INCREDIBLE PRICES so your family can look stylish without making you broke!

KidsExclusive.com was born from our frustration with existing deal sites which have a snobbish attitude (you have to be a member to see the deals) combined with bad customer service (extremely slow delivery, no return policy).

When we shared our feelings with other moms, we found out they shared the same views. We then decided to create something completely different – a FRIENDLY DEAL SITE!

A site that is easy to navigate, that would show the deals to all moms, that would SHIP QUICKLY (so mom gets them when she needs them) and that will take back the merchandise- no questions asked- if mom doesn’t like them. Being friendly is our approach to life and that’s exactly we want our site to be!”

Review of Product: I am always excited to hear about new sites like KidsExclusive.com which give me the opportunity to get some really cute clothes and accessories for Noah at such a deep discount! The site features great deals for boys and girls ages 0-9.  I was able to score some cool shirts and pants for Noah at a fraction of what I would pay in a retail store for them.  I noticed a lot of European designers and small boutiques which I really like to support – then he’s not wearing the same Old Navy shirt that 5 other boys in his class are wearing! The site is easy to use and shipping was very fast.  I’m happy to keep watching their sales for some more great bargains!

I received a giftcode to try out the site to review at no charge but my opinions remain my own.
