Boozapalooza – giveaways!

GIVEAWAY #1:  I am breaking these into two posts because the residency requirements are different. You are welcome to enter both.Handing out TEN of these rebate forms to FIVE people who comment by Sunday 5 pm. This is our usual rebate, where you get $15 for buying three, $35 for buying six and $50 for buying eight bottles of the brands shown in the picture. You do not need to purchase all in one transaction. Receipts must be dated by January 5, 2013 and postmarked by January 20, 2013. Open to residents of CO, DE, DC, FL, GA, IA, ID, IL, KY, MD, ME, MN, MO, MT, NE, NJ, OH, OR, SC, WA, WI & WY.  Winners will have until Monday 5 pm to reply to my email or another name will be selected.

On another note, I got no entries for this very sweet FREE mixer coupons giveaway.  I am giving away 6 of these UP TO $2 value towards mixers coupons.  The coupon states NO PURCHASE OF ALCOHOL REQUIRED IN INDIANA, so that is where you must live, work, shop or commute  ’cause otherwise you have to buy a bottle of Bacardi for each.  Coupon expiration is 12/31/12.  Enter before 5 pm Sunday and one winner will get all six coupons.  Fail to reply to my email by Monday 5 pm and another name will be chosen.

 

Boozapalooza – Giveaway #2

As with Givewaway #1, you are welcome to enter both giveaways.

FOUR people will get two of these SAVE $10 NOW coupons when you buy TWO bottles of the pictured products.  Helps pay for that Holiday party!  This coupon is valid for purchases in CA, IL and NY.  Comment by Sunday 5 pm.  Winners have until Monday 5 pm to reply to my email or another name will be selected.

Quickie mixers giveaway – IN residents only

This giveaway is for those readers who either live or shop in Indiana, because otherwise you have to buy the booze.  I have SIX coupons for FREE mixers when you buy Bacardi, but the alcohol purchase requirement is waived in Indiana.  These were scratch off coupons, which revealed $2 under each, a high value and a great way to stock up on pop for the Holidays.  Expiration date is 12/31/12.

First geographically-appropriate reader to comment gets them all.  Thank you Bacardi.

Win a case of Beanitos chips – ending today!

I’m always looking for different snack foods ’cause we all agree Hostess is not a health food, right?  Once you read the nutrition info on these Beanitos chips, you’ll flip:  6 g protein and 6 g of fiber in each little bag!  Honestly, I had never tried these before and wasn’t quite sure what to expect.  These are not substitutes for or wannabe potato or tortilla chips – they stand on their own.  I started with the cheddar cheese flavor – nice and spicy!  Nosh, nosh, nosh as I worked online, thinking….hmmm…not bad…until I realized I’d eaten the entire bag.  Mind you, only for the health benefits!  would i lie?

If you are interested in working towards healthier snack foods, and/or need to limit high-glycemic foods (these are low), enter the giveaway by commenting before Friday at 9 pm CST.  The winner will receive a variety case of 24 1.25 oz bags of Beanitos chips.  That person will have until 9 pm Sunday to reply to my email, or another name will be chosen.

Disclaimer:  I received a case of Beanitos chips to sample and review with another case provided as a giveaway.  In no way did it affect my endorsement or opinion – nobody has ever been able to do that – just ask my husband!

Honey Baked Ham – review & giveaway

Honey Baked Ham invited a group of bloggers to a presentation last week – they had me at FREE HAM!  When I told my mother, she said “Oh, are they still around?”  I asked why she had stopped getting their hams  – too sweet for her.

Guess what?  I learned that each Honey Baked Ham is individually glazed and prepared the way you want it:  Little glaze?  Extra glaze?  No glaze?  No problem.  Takes about ten minutes –  no advance order necessary.  Each ham is hand-glazed with HoneyBaked’s gluten-free glaze. They glaze only what they need for the day to keep the hams at the freshest.  I can’t divulge the “secret” glaze or how it’s applied except to say it involved flames and they wouldn’t let me play with the equipment.

Honey Baked also offers complete dinners, including side dishes that rock – the sweet potato souffle flew out of the front freezers, with the garlic mashed potatoes a close second – because not only did they feed us, we were each given a complete family meal of our choice to take home, together with their deluxe carrot cake for dessert.

I also won a choice of items from the menu and took a package of mixed dried beans (they also have white bean and split pea packs) and a large bone-in ham end for soup.  I am sorry to report that most of it disappeared before I could take a photo. num, num, num.  The beans and ham went into a large crock pot with water to the top, but only a third of the enclosed seasoning packet (HB told me to start with a small amount and add more as needed – excellent advice as the ham is already seasoned).  Left on low to cook all day – not only did we have a hot, filling, nutritious dinner waiting for us, the house smelled heavenly…well, if you dream about all-you-can-eat ham buffets in heaven, that is…

HB Ham also offers lunch boxes and catering – didn’t try the sandwiches, but since it’s the same meat, it must be good (they also have little side dishes of things like potato and macaroni salads).  Fresh bread is delivered daily from Highland Bakery; produce comes in three times a week.

Now for the giveaway:  Honey Baked Ham is giving away a $10 off any complete dinner Savings Certificate to all my readers (exp. 12/31).  Since complete family dinners start at $22.99, you can also take a break from cooking.  As you can see from my photo, the Naperville location has a deal on the Roast Beef dinner (the roast alone is $19.99). I’d say the sides each would serve 4-6 people.  This is definitely more than enough for one meal – plan on leftovers and work lunches.  well, unless you’re the Duggars or that goof in California.

Visit the Honey Baked Ham website and see what coupons your local store is offering; sign up for emails and get VIP deals.  Like Honey Baked Ham on Facebook for even more coupons.  They also offer punch cards for both lunch box and dinner purchases – free food!

Not totally food-related…but talk to your local store about the HB fund-raising coupon booklet:  Pay $3 for each book you sell for $10.  Couple of coupons alone were worth more than the price of the book and you don’t have to buy set amounts – sell 10 or 100 books and that’s what you pay for.

Boozapalooza winners

Apparently you are all still coasting on the cases of vodka from the last rebate ’cause only six of you entered.  We’ve still got seven bottles of vodka from the last deal!  Of course, this might also be because the rebate is only valid in a few states…

Whatever the reason, I’m going to just hand over two rebates to anyone using the contact tab.  Let me know if you want them mailed out or plan to pick up at the Lisle Jewel.
