Easy Lunch Box Review and Giveaway- Ends September 11th, 2010

This Giveaway is now Closed!

There is no better way to kick off the Bunches of Bargains Back to School event then with an awesome bento lunch box! It's called the Easy Lunch Box system and it truly makes Moms' life easier in the morning.

As you can see from the video, the Easy Lunch Box system requires no baggies which is better for the environment and your wallet. The Easy Lunch Box containers are dishwasher/microwave safe and BPA free which is great for moms worried about germs and toxins. The containers are durable and hard plastic so you no longer have to worry about what you can and can't pack. You can now include soft fruit, bread and even leftover dinners and know that it will never get smashed in the Easy Lunch Box system! 

The Easy Lunch Box system is compact and stacks for easy storing in the refrigerator with the prepared meals or in the cupboards when not in use. It also comes with four containers so you can take it along on trips to the park, playground and zoo. This also means that you don't have to wash the used container each day if you're feeling lazy or just don't have time.

The cooler bag is very spacious and allows you to pack extra items such as prepackaged foods like yogurt cups and cheese sticks. You can also include drinks, chips and ice packs to complete your meal. 

The Cooler bag comes in Black, Dark Red, Olive, Purple and Aqua and costs just $7.95 which can be much less than what you pay for while back to school shopping at your local stores. The storage containers are sent in a four pack in an assortment of colors and cost $13.95. In just a few months you will have saved yourself money by not buying anymore of those plastic baggies. In my opinion, the Easy Lunch Box system is a very smart and healthy investment for every home!

I packed some lunches, with the Easy Lunch Box system, to bring to the zoo this summer and my kids were excited to eat their lunch. They didn't even ask for McDonald's that they have inside the zoo. That was so pleasing and I have Easy Lunch Boxes to thank. My kids now look forward to eating their lunch!

Kelly Lester is the owner, creator and mom behind Easy Lunch Box System

Ecover All Purpose Cleaner Review and Giveaway- Ends September 7th, 2010

GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED!

I recently had the opportunity to review some really amazing all purpose cleaner. Anyone who has toddlers living the majority of their days at home know that cleaning up after their meals and playtime can be a big issue! Considering all the sticky cereal, yogurt, paint and play dough that gets spilled each day, what us moms really need is a cleaner that can remove even the toughest of messes without a lot of elbow grease. I am happy to present to you Ecover All Purpose Cleaner!
Normally on my heavy cleaning days I arm myself with Clorox with bleach cleaners, Windex and furniture polish but now I don't need all of those. This one bottle of Ecover All Purpose Cleaner cleans my counter tops, my windows and my mirrors and even my finished wood furniture, leaving it all with a super shine. If you don't believe me check out these before and after pictures!

The furniture and the counter tops came out so beautiful and new looking (the coffee table is new). I was extremely impressed at how easy it cleaned up my kitchen table. As I said before I had hardened cereal and yogurt and paint all over the table and it came off just as easily as it would with my normal national brand cleaner but without the heavy chemical smell. I measured one cap full of this concentrated all purpose cleaner with a spray bottle of water and received a great, long lasting all purpose solution that smells great! The only disappointed I had with Ecover was the quality of shine on my laminate flooring (see photo above). The string mop and the cap full of cleaner mixed with a gallon of water just left too many streaks for my preference and I ended up mopping again with my regular floor cleaner.

 Ecover All Purpose cleaner is lemon scented and was a joy to clean with. I highly recommend this cleaner to other moms who have concerns about the health and safety of their children and our environment!

Ecover doesn't just sell this one product, they carry dish washing, laundry and other household cleaners as well. They even have personal care items such as hand soap and heavy duty hand cleaner for the hard working men in our lives.

Ecover celebrates 30 years this year as an international company active in the production of ecological cleaners. Their mission is to offer efficient and sustainable solution for the hygienic needs of people today and future generations (source: . http://www.ecover.com/us/en/About/). To read more about what Ecover does for our communities and to learn about our eco-friendly celebrities, visit the Ecover blog. 

Would you like to try the Ecover All Purpose Cleaner in your home? To find out where to buy Ecover in your local community, check out their webpage store locator. Don't have a store near you that sells Ecover? No problem you can buy it from their website! For a chance to win a bottle from Bunches of Bargains follow to entry instructions below! Good luck! 

MANDATORY ENTRY:

Country Bobs Review and Giveaway *2 WINNERS*

GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED!

"In 1968 Country Bob perfected the sauce of his dreams...he began to sell it in 1977" (Country Bob About Us ). Today Country Bob's sauce is the sauce of choice for many families around the country. You can add mine to the list! We currently don't own a grill.. (insert frown face here) We have been living in apartments since the hubby and I got married and finally this July we were able to get a duplex. Anyway, I like to cook on our George Foreman and the point I'm trying to make is this sauce is good no matter how you use it. There are some really great looking recipes on the Country Bob's website if you're not so savvy in the kitchen, like me. I cooked up some steak the other night with some French fries. I will admit I specially made the steak just so we could test out Country Bob's sauce. We loved it! The hubby and I are huge fans of A1 sauce but we both really liked the sweeter taste that Country Bob's All Purpose sauce has to offer.

Unfortunately for me I can't purchase Country Bob's locally but I can buy it straight from their website and at an affordable price. The All Purpose Sauce that was sent to me free of charge can be purchased online in a half case (6 bottles) for just $19.00. Best part about the price is that the shipping is included! That's just $3.16 a bottle- totally a great bargain in my eyes.
In addition to the 2 bottles I received, I can also give away 2 bottles each to 2 of my readers! Excited? Good, I promise you won't be disappointed. Even if you don't win from me, you can get a coupon from the Country Bob's website good for a free bottle of Country Bobs. (This offer is only available to those living in areas where product is sold).

2 WINNERS!

MANDATORY ENTRY:

Visit Country Bob's website and pick out the recipe you'd most like to try. In a comment, let me know which one you have chosen. (This entry must be completed before the bonus entries will count)! Available to the US only!

Crazy Dog T Shirt Giveaway ends August 26th

Good luck everyone!

Crazy dog T shirt Review and Giveway- Ends August 26th

Giveaway is now Closed!

I had the opportunity to review a T shirt from Crazy Dog T-Shirts. I was very excited to pick out my new Tshirt  and here is why:

• T shirts are comfortable! 
• T shirts are great bedtime attire!
• Crazy Dog T Shirts are hilarious. They have a funny T shirt for everyone!
• Picking out my own comfy T shirt means I can stop wearing my husbands comfy, yet horribly plain, black T shirts!
• T shirts keep you nice and cool in the summer!
• Oh! Did I mention that Crazy Dog T shirts are hilarious!?

Browsing through T shirt after T shirt is so much more enjoyable when you can do it from your own home. I'm a big fan of online shopping and with an inventory like Crazy Dog, you can't go wrong. Here are some of my favorites:

See? Funny stuff right? There are so many more available that these don't even scratch the surface of their collection. I'm really impressed with Crazy Dog T Shirts. Their shirts are so soft, lightweight and incredibly comfortable. They look sharp too! I have washed my T shirt multiple times and it has yet to shrink or fade! I love their website because it's so easy to browse their virtual racks of T shirts, I can't help but love their prices ranging from $6.99 to $26.00. They even sell Halloween costumes and dog gear which includes T shirts that show the love you have for you pet and also dog costumes. Want a custom T shirt made? No problem, they do that too!

Here is a little information taking from Crazy Dog about how the company got started. I thought it was interesting and really cool because Ithaca College isn't too far from Syracuse, where I live.

"7 years ago, CrazyDog Owner and CSO (Cheif Snacking Officer), Bill, started CrazyDog as an eCommerce project in the dark dormroom hallways of Ithaca College. Forgetting to take down the website, orders kept coming in, and Bill kept filling them, working out of his moms basement for a year or 2 before she stopped making him Meatloaf and told him he better start leasing the space or she'd stop making his bed and folding his laundry. Not long after that we started leasing space in the artsy Village Gate in our hometown of Rochester, NY; home of Genessee Beer, Garbage Plates, and a really nice water reservoir. Several years later our space is 3500 square feet of pure awesomeness; and we run the joint will a staff of 6 who love every minute of it".

This is the T shirt I choose. I am a true Facebook addict. I love it!

Would you like to own your very own Crazy Dog T Shirt? Well, you can head to Crazy Dog T Shirts right now and grab some of your favorites or you can try to win one here on my blog by completing the entries below. The winner will be able to choose either $15 gift card or a free mystery T shirt.
