Betty Crocker & Make-A-Wish

I am reminded on a daily basis by the blogs I read how blessed I am to have healthy, happy children. There are so many families that struggle daily with their child's illness and never have time to just be a family. To just get out and enjoy a vacation or a trip to zoo. That's why I love the Make-A-Wish foundation. They grant children with the opportunity to just be a kid. And families with the opportunity to just be a family. Even if it's only for a week, or a day, these kids are able to know a sense a normalcy.

So, naturally, I immediately jumped at the chance to be a part of this promotion from Betty Crocker and My Blog Spark. This Spring, when you purchase any specially marked Betty Crocker package, Betty Crocker will donate $0.10 to the Make-A-Wish Foundation, with a guaranteed minimum donation of $250,000 and with your help, a maximum $500,000 donation.

And you can also go online to StirringUpWishes.com to donate $5 to the Make-A-Wish Foundation, and receive $5 coupons for Betty Crocker products through their Give $5, Get $5 promotion. So you can get coupons to purchase the products that will donate another $0.10!

Betty Crocker & My Blog Spark have donated $25 to the Make-A-Wish Foundation in my honor and sent me a great package with Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix, Brownie Mix and a red Betty Crocker Spoon. And they want to do the same for you!

To be entered to win the gift pack from Betty Crocker (and who doesn't love chocolate chip cookies & brownies?!) and another $25 donation to the Make-A-Wish foundation, just leave me a comment on this post.

Kroger's Cart Buster Sale

I love a good bargain. In fact, I thrive of being able to tell people how little I pay for things. Unfortunately, I've never been too good at the whole couponing thing. I'm sure I spend a lot less for groceries than a lot of people, but I hate the whole looking for coupons, getting them organized and planning shopping lists around them. It's just too much work.

That's why I love a good sale on groceries. And Kroger has one heck of a sale going on right now! They're calling it the Cart Buster Savings Event. There are a ton of items on sale. A full list of the items included in the event can be found on their website. But like all good things, it's only for a limited time. The sale is over this Sunday, March 14th.

But, to sweeten the deal a little, Kroger and General Mills have teamed up through My Blog Spark to give a $25 Kroger gift card to one of you! All you have to do to be entered is leave me a comment on this post!
