Review: Wow a site that not only saves you money, but it pays you money while also paying it forward too

Its so easy to save money online these days through the vast number of online websites.  I never shop online without first finding a sale, coupon code and going through a cash back site.  This I call super stacking and its amazing what you can get for free with a little online searching and creativity in super stacking. 

I'm excited to find that Coupon Chief is taking online couponing up to a new and unchartered level.  Thanks to Coupon Chief, you can make money just by uploading coupons and sharing the savings.  Every time someone uses a coupon you've uploaded, Coupon Chief will give you 2% of the sales.  So next time you browse through the web looking for a coupon code - check coupon chief and see if they have the code - if not sign up, download and just sit back and relax... and decide how you want to get paid.  If you are as addicted to couponing as me you'll be checking coupon chief a million times a day to see how many people used your coupon.  I just saw someone under the name of "Hamlet" has downloaded 608 coupons and the next person 471, wow I wonder what their checks look like.



 For those shopping you can find the latest and greatest online coupon codes on both their website and facebook page.  If you are like me and like to "make a change", Coupon Chief's Coupons-4-Causes will support your favorite cause every time you shop.  Just use Coupon Chief's coupons for your online shopping, and they'll donate up to 20% of the purchase to your favorite charity, school, or church.

Wow a site that not only saves you money, but it pays you money while also paying it forward too.  What will they think of next?

Disclaimer: Coupon Chief  provided me compensation for the review, but it does not affect my review and opinion on the product.  This is written based on my own honest opinion (other peoples opinions may vary).

Review & Giveaway: Nakano Seasoned Rice Vinegar

I am already a big fan of Rice Vinegar as we make our own sushi rolls and pieces at home.  So I was excited to find that Nakano's product line includes Seasoned Rice Vinegar which can be used in a variety of dishes to add a lot of flavor without adding a lot of calories.  Did you know that Nakano's rice vinegars are non-fat, gluten free, preservative free and have 50% less sodium than their competition.

I was given the opportunity to review the Roasted Garlic Seasoned Rice Vinegar. The best way to review food products is to try it out with a recipe.   My forte is stir fry dishes and I went about substituting the garlic in my stir fry dish with the roasted garlic seasoned vinegar.  I made a stir-fried chicken with green beans dish (fresh from my garden).

I did not mention any substitutions when it came to dinner time and my husband said "Whats that tangy taste? - its good".  The garlic blended in well with my original recipe and the rice vinegar gave my dish a new dimension - thumbs up all around.

Nakano's website lists a large database of recipes.  Go try out Nakano's Seasoned Rice Vinegar for yourself using this 50c/1 printable coupon - click here for a store locator.  All the recipes look so yummy - wow - you can even add Nakano's seasoned rice vingear to meatloaf.

One reader will win a Nakano Prize Pack
consisting of a full sized bottle of Nakano Seasoned Rice Vinegar, recipe booklet with a $1/1 coupon & a $25 American Express Gift Card.

HOW TO ENTER

Blogmania: Zhu Zhu Pets Giveaway - early entries

Welcome to my Blogmania Sponsor Feature for Zhu Zhu Pets

My husband and I are truly blessed with all that we have in our lives (our beautiful children, family & friends and good health), but we also realize we are also truly spoilt.  As a child I grew up with one Cindy doll and I would spend countless hours making her clothes and designing her a lego house to live in.  When I was pregnant with my son I vowed we would not spoil him with toys, he would have educational toys and books.  We kind of stuck to our rule, he has the educational toys and books but then he also has the backugan's, pirate ship, lego, knex, you name it we've got it.  This goes for my daughter too, she has enough naked barbies (she's at that stage where she likes taking their clothes off but fails to redress them) to host a Boston Tea Party. 

But you see, for me toys are a great way to entertain the kids while I cook dinner.  As a working Mom from  the time I pick the kids up to when I kiss them goodnight, its a mad dash to fit in dinner, family time, bath, book and soon homework.  So anything that can help entertain my little ones while I cook is alright in my book.  

So my current entertainers are those little hamsters on wheels - yes those love/hate Zhu Zhu pets, these are wonderful little babysitters and so much cheaper than a regular Mother's Helper.  I enjoy watching the kids try to race them against each other or try to repoint them in the right direction when they decide to take a big u turn and speed off in the opposite direction.  So when they bump my toes and squeak, I remind myself that they are indeed a great toy since they don't make a mess or require feeding and so far has satisfied my childrens desire for a family pet.

My children already have the original Zhu Zhu pets and recently we acquired the cool Kung Zhu pets for review to my sons delight.  So when we received the Rock Star Zhu Zhu package for the Blogmania review the kids were so excited to add to their collection.  We received Ryder, Pax and Kingston - did you know the Rockstar Zhu Zhu pets are inspired by the children of famous celebrities such as Angelina Jolie and Gwen Stefani?  I wonder if Pax has his very own name-sake pet?

My daughter poses with Pax, Ryder and Kingston

and when asked which was her favorite - she chose Pax. 

That smile is priceless who would deny a child their own little pet hamster on wheels?

I am very pleased to have Zhu Zhu Pets as a sponsor for my Blogmania event where one lucky winner will take home their own Ryder, Pax and Kingston

All you have to do for a shot at winning is come back here September 15-16th, during Blogmania, and enter by leaving a comment on the Blogmania post, so MARK YOUR CALENDARS!
