Wylie Mom's Softsoap Nutri Serums Body Wash Giveaway

As a memebr of BzzAgent, I got a bunch of tiny Softsoap Nutri Serum body washes for my latest campaign. BzzAgent is something I do personally, meaning it's not affiliated with this blog, and I don't get paid. It's a word of mouth marketing company where you can sign up to try new products and then spread the "bzz" to your family and friends. Usually I receive a full size product to try and was a bit surprised when 7 tiny bottles came in the mail. So....I thought I'd share some of them with one lucky reader.

One winner will receive:

- Three 1.7 fl oz. Softsoft Nutri Serum Body Washes-2 Moisture Retaining with Omega 3 & 6 (purple bottle) and 1 Restoring with Vitamin E (green bottle)

- Three $1.00 off Softsoft Nutri Serum Body Wash coupons, expire November 23, 2009.

$52.54 Worth Of Free Stuff In The Mail

Check out the stuff that came in the mail for me yesterday and today!!

From Bzz Agent I received: A 2000 Calorie Extreme Lash Plumper Mascara (I love 2000 Calorie mascara and can't wait to try this!!!!), 2 Vivid Impact Lipcolors and a copy of D Beauty (D as in Dallas). Total value $30.59. Oh, and there were three $2.00 off Max factor coupons.

I talked a bit about BzzAgent here in this post. It's so much fun!!

From Mom Select I received: (2) 10 Ct. Packets of Florastor Kids. Florastor Kids is a probiotic. Total Value $21.95.

What's a probiotic you ask? According to the Florastor website, "Probiotics help the good organisms in your body to grow and protect your intestines against "bad" organisms that can make you unwell. Florastor Kids helps maintain the normal balance of microorganisms in the gut."

We'll see what the kids think! I will probably do a giveaway for the second 10 ct. box. Keep an eye out!

I also have 2 nice mailing boxes for eBay, so it's a win/win to try new products!!!! Join panels and marketing programs when you run across them. Later when they send you an offer, it's up to you to accept. You can only pick things that interest you! Have any fun panels to share? Leave me a comment! Thanks!

Have You Looked Into BzzAgent?

Remember last Sunday when I mentioned BzzAgent a couple of times? Well, here's what it's all about!

From the BzzAgent site, BzzAgnet is a "word-of-mouth (WOM) marketing network". You get to to try new products (for free) and spread word of mouth. It's honest word of mouth, you're not to push the product, just tell people about it if it comes up in conversation.

Here's what I've been buzzing about lately:

Chili's Guiltless Grill - I received 4 free item coupons for this campaign. I shared two with my mom, and hubby and I saved $24.98 when we used our two a couple of weeks ago. We both got the Carne Asada Steak and the rub was awesome!

Glade Sense and Spray-I got one in the mail for this campaign, plus a few $4 off coupons. I loved the Sense & Spray so much, I bought another one at CVS this week. My kids think it's fun too! It senses when you pass by and will spray, but then won't spray again for at least another 30 minutes. It's so smart. :)

Afrin Pure Sea-I mentioned this last Sunday. It's a salt water nose spray, used to flush your nose like a Neti Pot. First go around it felt like I got water up my nose in the pool, but I got it down the second go around. What can I say, I was curious about flushing out my nose. It also came with a stack of $3 coupons.

Anytime BzzAgent sends you a new campaign, you have a choice to sign up or not. I have declined several campaigns. One was for allergies (I don't have allergies), two you had to pay for (umm...no thanks) and one was test driving a truck (with 2 kids in tow....I'll pass). So, that all said, you wouldn't have to get the Afrin Pure Sea.

Today, I just got offered a new campaign from Max Factor. Yay! I get excited about free stuff, can you tell?

After you try the new product and spread the word, you report back to BzzAgent with a quick report. Once they "accept" your Bzz report, you get rewarded with points from MyPoints. It's a win-win. There's way more to BzzAgent than all of that, so check it out here.

Have a great weekend!

I Made It To CVS This Week!

I finally made it to CVS in time for the Sunday/Monday deal. I'm just a slow blogger! Here's what I got:

Transaction #1

2 Bags Jelly Beans 1.00
CVS Alcohol $.50
Glade Sense & Spray $5.99
PAAS Easter Egg kit $1.99
Mentos gum $1.69 (needed filler, as to not waste ECB)

minus

$1.00 Mentos gum coupon
$4.00 Glade coupon from Bzz Agent
$6.00 in ECB

Total OOP $.17 and I got back $2.99.

Transaction #2

CVS Vitamin D $2.99

minus $2.99 in ECB from transaction #1

Total OOP = ZERO and I got back $2.99 in ECB. Yay free!

Overall, I lost $3.01 in ECB and my total "expense" was $3.18. At least my OOP was low and I got more Easter supplies. Total saved $19.46.

The good news is that today, April 1st, your winter spending Extra Care Bucks will print. Plus, a new monthly catalog starts today. Sounds like another trip is in store for me. If your CVS has a "magic coupon machine" a.k.a. price checking machine, you can scan your card for the ECB without even having to shop! :)

My First "Assignment"

My first assignment as an agent for BzzAgent has arrived. Look what came in the mail. Not to mention a nice box I can use for eBay.

I love Ziploc so I was excited to try out the Twist 'n Loc containers. I received the Big Bags as a bonus (they are soooo fun!!!) and a lot of coupons. For more info on BzzAgent, click here. It's free to join.

So basically my job is to try out the containers and spread the word (bzz). I haven't checked these out in the store, but they have a $2.89 MSRP. Not too bad for a really sturdy container. Unlike the first Ziploc and Glad "take and toss" containers, it would be great for taking soup for lunch since the lid "locks". I wouldn't consider these "toss" containers. Although since they are so reasonable (price) they would be perfect for handing out leftovers (or whatever). I could have used these when the kids were babies for transporting milk to ther grandparents houses...

I've used one in the pantry for storage. But they would make great bathroom storage, craft storage, small toy storage, etc. Millions of uses!

I will say my only concern is that I used one in the frig to store garlic and they ARE NOT odor proof. I'll just remember that!!

I will use my coupon for another set or 2 of the Twist 'n Lock containers. And, if you ever get a chance to get some of the Big Bags, try them. They are super fun. I'm just not sure about the handle strength. :) I stored my daughter's stuffed animals in one for her party last weekend. It's a huge bag!!!!

Here's a link to the Ziploc site, you can print off a $.55 for any Ziploc container. Speaking of Ziploc, has anyone tried the Zip 'n Steam bags? They look fun!

Thanks for reading....be sure to leave me comments!!!! :)
