Who Remembers the Domino’s NOID? {$20 Giveaway}

Did you ever Avoid the NOID?  Like most teenagers, I was a huge fan of pizza (confession: I still am.).  I remember being treated to Domino’s every other Friday and vividly remember that pizza stealing NOID who was born 25 years ago (has it been that long?).

Get the New Burger King “Tender 8!” {Giveaway}

With a busy lifestyle, we do have the occasional meal on the run.  However, we do not have an unlimited budget, so finding quality food for a decent price can sometimes be a challenge.  Like just about all kids, my daughters are huge fans of chicken nuggets.  Recently, Burger King has unveiled their all new “Tender 8″ chicken nuggets!

To celebrate, Burger King launched their “Tender 8″ Facebook application so new fans of the chicken nugget could help spread the word while enjoying an awesome coupon.  Visit the app and select your “Tender 8″ from your family and friends.  Each of those you select (plus you, of course) will receive a printable coupon for a FREE 8 piece box of Burger King Chicken Tenders when you buy an 8 piece box.

A good friend of mine, Sara from Momma Findings, gave me the chance to try the new Burger King item by selecting me to be a member of her “Tender 8″ crew (thanks, Sara!).  Tonight for dinner, I decided to give them a try.  I have had the old crown shaped tender from Burger King in the past, so I was curious to see the difference.  The new tenders appear larger than the old nuggets and were tasty.  The menu item comes in four, eight or twenty pieces to satisfy just about any appetite.

GIVEAWAY

Want to try the new Tender 8 at Burger King?  Five winners will each receive a $10 Burger King Gift Card!

How to enter:

1. Tell me one person you would include in your Tender 8!

Time Saving Tips from Bank of America {$50 Giveaway}

I absolutely love the holiday season, but no matter how much I seem to plan in advance, I always seem to be rushing around and running out of time.  Any time saving tips can be a life saver!  Recently, my business partner Cecelia and I formed an official LLC and opened a bank account.  We chose to begin our business with Bank of America for many reasons, but the most important factor was convenience.  Because we live in two different states, we needed a bank that would make it easy for us to do our business.

One of the ways that Bank of America saves us time is by providing online banking.  We can easily transfer money, check our balance and set up alerts from the convenience of our computer which is great since we live so far away.  We also love the Bank on the Go feature which allows us to bank straight from an iPhone or iPad.  Just download the app and easily locate ATMs nearby, check balances and pay bills.  You can even get a text message stating your balance instantly!

Recently, Bank of Amercia set up a Twitter Handle (@BofA_Tips) which sends out great time saving tips throughout the day.  Here are a few I loved from this week:

What are some ways you save time over the holidays?  Have you thought of hosting a wrapping party at your house? Have each guest come with a roll of wrapping paper, chat, eat and WRAP!  Or coordinate a playdate exchange!  Have a friend watch your kids and get some shopping done!  On another day, return the favor!  If you are looking for even more holiday time saving tips, check out Bank of America Solutions!

GIVEAWAY

In order to make this holiday season even easier for one of my readers, I will be giving away a pre-loaded $50 Bank of America card!

Sneak Peek at the Energizer Inductive Charger {Giveaway}

Before the blog, my nightstand used to be filled with pictures of friends and family.  As my blog grew, so did the need for more technology and I found my nightstand piled with electronic devices.  It became impossible to plus them all in at one time which resulted in spreading everything out around the house.  I am getting frustrated with this process and as usual, am looking for a better way!

Recently, I was introduced to the Energizer Inductive Charger which I think may just solve my problems.  A little about the concept and product from their website:

Inductive charging is what happens when two devices—one designed to send power and the other designed to receive it—touch one another and energy is transferred between them. Until today, these two devices had to be designed specifically for each other. But Qi changes all that.  Established by the Wireless Power Consortium (WPC), Qi allows you to universally charge your Qi-enabled smartphones, cameras, mp3 players and anything else that uses up to 5W without directly plugging in those devices.

Ok, so what does all this technical stuff mean?  Basically, by placing a Qi accessory on my SmartPhone, I can charge my phone by simply dropping it onto the Inductive Charger.  No more finishing for an available outlet!  The Inductive Charger Pad can charge two things at once which will free up space and eliminate the look of messy cords.

This all sounds great, right?  But does it work?  Check back with me tomorrow to get my thoughts on the Energizer Inductive Charger Pad and the accessory for the BlackBerry Curve.  In the meantime, how about a giveaway?

GIVEAWAY

Want to try out this new system?  The Energizer Inductive Charger and accessories can be purchased at Target, so I have one $25 Gift Card to a major retailer who carries the charger to giveaway to one lucky reader!

1. Visit the Energizer Inductive Charger website and tell me why you need this system!

Cracker Barrel Basket Giveaway {$100 Gift Card inlcuded!}

At some point during the Holiday Season, I find myself making the small trip to the nearest Outlet Mall to find some great deals on last minute gifts.  While shopping is always fun, the best part of the trip is breakfast!  Fortunately, there is a Cracker Barrel near the Outlet Mall which is definitely the best place to get fueled up for a long day of deal seeking!

As I was looking around their site, I realized that you can purchase Thanksgiving dinner to go leaving you more time to spend with family and out of the kitchen.  I am in charge of dessert this year, so I think a homemade pie would be a great addition to the table (it’s only $7.99!).  Believe it or not, food is not the only thing I love about Cracker Barrel (although I never leave hungry).  My favorite part of Cracker Barrel is walking through the front doors and being welcomed by the comforting smells of the Country Store.  I don’t know how they do it, but the store always smells like the Holidays to me!  The Country Store is a great place to find stocking stuffers and unique gifts for the hard to buy people on your list.  With so many options available, it’s also a great place to put together a custom gift basket for coworkers or clients.

This year, each Country Store has a “Great Gifts” display featuring lots of fun ideas for kids of all ages priced under $20.  Find something you like?  Every Cracker Barrel offers FREE gift wrapping!  Don’t want to haul your loot home?  They also offer FREE shipping within the contiguous US.  With wrapping and shipping taken care of, you may even have enough money to treat yourself to something special!

Ready to shop?  If you are not sure if there is a Cracker Barrel near you, download their FREE Store Locator iPhone app!

GIVEAWAY

Cracker Barrel wants you to enjoy the holiday magic of the Country Store as well!  One winner will receive a HUGE gift basket (pictured above) including:

Goo Goos, Candy, Cherry Sanded Bob’s Mint Sticks, Mugs, Dickinson’s Preserves, Cobblers, Cracker Barrel Fudge, Relish, Chow Chow, Syrup, Gum, Pecan Log, Thin Sticks, Apple Butter, Apple Crisp Mix, Coffee, Pancake Mix, Corn Muffin Mix, Special Flavored Cracker Barrel Coffees, Cast Iron
Skillet, and some other goodies, plus….

Dominos Aubidle Tracker: $20 Gift Card Giveaway

When we get home from work and realize that we forgot to plan dinner, we often reach for the phone and dial up Dominos.  Try as I might, it is hard to distract my two little ones from their hungry tummies.  This often leads to me wondering how long it’s been since I made the order and frantic pacing by the front door.  Now, Dominos has come up with a great (and fun!) way to track the status of your pizza online!  From the press release:

“Domino’s Pizza, Inc. (NYSE: DPZ), the recognized world leader in pizza delivery, has given its revolutionary Pizza Tracker™ tool an auditory upgrade! Beginning today, customers who order online from Domino’s will not only see – but hear their order being made, thanks to the introduction of Talking Tracker.

After an order is placed, either by phone or online at www.dominos.com, customers who utilize Pizza TrackerTM will now be able to choose from six themes – each one giving the interface a distinct look and voice. Depending on the theme, Talking Tracker might sing, cheer or even sweet talk customers the status of their order from the moment it’s prepared to the second it’s out the door or ready for pickup.

Talking Tracker is also compatible with Surf With Tracker, brand new feature that allows consumers to browse the web without losing track of their order.

“We’re continuing to add to the convenience of Domino’s online ordering and Pizza TrackerTM, now allowing customers to leave their computers and still know where their pizza is in the ordering process – as long as their speakers are turned up!” said Chris Brandon, Domino’s Pizza spokesperson. “Adding these elements is our way of making sure we are creating the most innovative ordering experience possible.”
