This giveaway is closed.  Thank you for entering!   The winner has been announced.    it's no secret:  i love to shop.  however, shopping for groceries?  um, not so much.  when it comes to groceries, i'm not one to stick with a budget nor do i use coupons or price match. seriously, i don't have time for that.  i'll scour an ad and go.  i don't meal plan by what is on sale.  i also choose NOT to shop at multiple stores just to get the best deal.  of course, there ARE items that i will only get at certain stores...but that's different. when i was approached by mom central to do a little grocery shopping at one of the newly updated food lion stores in my area, i jumped at the chance.  why?  this was my chance to give a second chance to a grocery store that i rarely … [Read more...]

Celestial Seasonings

THIS GIVEAWAY IS CLOSED. Thanks to all who entered!    it's no secret:  i love my keurig. i use it to make coffee {using either portion packs or freshly ground beans}, cocoa, tea & even hot water.  i love that i have the option of making iced teas & coffee with the keurig, too; however, i'm not a fan of the hot brew process for cold drinks.  but, i digress. so about tea... as much as i love coffee, i am also a tea drinker.  i grew up drinking tea.  i guess i can blame my heritage...in a sense.  i'm half-chinese, so i drink hot tea often.  chrysanthemum, jasmine, green...i love them all.  the caucasian in me {you know, because my daddy is from mississippi} loves sweet tea.  of course, i have other {unsweetened} favorites, too:  earl grey, english … [Read more...]
