Review: Hormel Compleats Kids Meals

I was selected by shespeaks to do a review on Hormel Compleats Kids Meals. They sent me a package with four varieties included to try. We came home late from a tee ball game and I heated them up for dinner. They only take 45 seconds in the microwave. My kids, ages 7,5 and 2 loved them. They ate every bite of every variety. I loved that they were quick and easy after a busy stressful day. They are also cheaper and healthier than fast food. On the negative, I wish they would have had a "side" of veggies like Gerber Graduates do, although a couple did have veggies mixed in. I also didn't care for the extra stickers inclosed. My kids just threw these on the floor and didn't pay any attention to them.

Overall, I think it is a good product and one I would use again, if the price was right of course. If you would like to try them, leave a comment and the first two people will receive a B1G1 free coupon for Hormel Compleats Kids Meals.

In the spirit of full disclosure, Hormel Foods provided samples of Hormel® Compleats® Kids Microwave Meals for me and my family to try. No payment was given and as always, all opinions given here are fully my own.

Purex Complete with Zout, sample and coupon giveaway

Wow, I never noticed before how Spring Cleaning incorporated laundry products. Between all the high value coupons, sales, free samples, and product reviews, I have a cupboard full of laundry products.

As a Purex Insider, I was sent a bottle of Purex Complete with Zout to try and review. As a busy mom, I love built in stain fighter in case I forget to pretreat something or more than likely something gets in the washer without me noticing the stain. I had a rough load to try it on...my two young unpotty trained kids had antibiotics last week...you know what that means. I had a whole load of "accident" clothes that I threw in. I wanted to try how good Purex Complete with Zout really was, so I didn't even pretreat...just threw them all in. Guess what...they all came out gorgeous with no trace of stains. If they can do this with everything I am a believer! They only downside I saw, was that the bottle said to "pretreat" for heavy stains. For me, it is much easier and less messy to use "spray" pretreater than the actual detergent. I was really impressed overall though and plan to use it on all my kids clothes loads.

If you would like a free sample, click on over. There is also the option to choose a coupon instead of the sample. Since this is a new product, look for sales and promos to follow shortly. Also the first two people to leave a comment will get a free product coupon. Happy Laundering!

Purex Crystals Review and a Giveaway!

I was recently selected to do a review on Purex Crystals as part of being a Purex Insider. I think Purex has developed some really great products. I love the 3 in 1 sheets! I was anxious to try this new fabric softener in crystal form. Ordinarily I don't use fabric softener with most washes. I go in phases where I use it a lot and then I don't at all. I do like it on sheets and towels though. I was also concerned about how it would work in my new front loader washer.

I tested this product on two loads of towels. I liked how you just put it in the washer at the start (in the washer...not in the fabric softener dispenser). My towels were softer and fluffier than usual. I liked the smell, although I think I might want to try a different fragrance next time, just to see if I like it better. I tried Fresh Spring Waters It was a little bit "floraly", but still pleasant. I still intend to try it on a load of sheets, but I haven't gotten to that yet.

The only con I see, is if you spill the bottle, it could be very messy to clean up as the crystals would probably roll under the washer/dryer. But other than that, I liked the product and would recommend it.

Want to try it yourself. There are two ways right now to get it free!

• Rite Aid next week has it on sale for $3.99
• Use the $2/1 to be in this Sunday's paper
• Stack it with the $1 video values coupon
• And get $1 + Up=FREE!

Also I have some free coupons for this product. I will give them away randomly (along with some other good coupons) to a few lucky readers. Just leave a comment on why you would like to try this product and Monday I will post the winners.

Purex Crystals

I was recently selected as a Purex Insider which means I get to test products and give opinions on Purex. I have long been a fan of the 3 in 1 product, but can no longer use it in my high efficiency washer/dryer. However, the Purex Crystals can work in HE machines. They also naturally based rather than oil based, so they won't decrease:

• your towels absorb ability
• children's sleepwear's flame-resistance
• sports wears wicking effectiveness

I am in the process of reviewing this product and then I will have some high value coupons to share with you. For now click here to get $1/1 coupon link and learn more about the product.
