By 1 Comment

In 2011, ShopRite donated 40,000 cans of food to local food banks in commemoration of 40 years of Can Can savings by way of its famous, annual Can Can Sale. Now in its 41st year, the Can Can Sale has become extra special with the “Cans for Fans” Facebook program. Fans of ShopRite can get involved with the fight against hunger through the “Cans for Fans” Facebook program. The 2012 Can Can Sale starts on January 5th, 2012 and ends on January 21, 2012. For every “Like” that ShopRite receives on their Facebook page, ShopRite will donate one can of food (up to 50,000 cans) to local food banks!

Head on over now to  “Like” ShopRite on Facebook, and help donate one can of food. This easy action just takes seconds to do, but means so much to the family in need who will receive the cans. Don’t forget to let your friends and family know how they can help fight hunger too!

In addition, you can join in the fun and you upload a personal photo of yourself to become a virtual ShopeRight Can Can dancer! Just visit ShopRite’s “Get Can Canned” website at www.ShopRiteCanCan.com to upload the photo. Then you can email the image to friends, or share on your personal blog, Facebook or Twitter account. Plus you can post the picture to ShopRite’s official Facebook page!

Walgreens vs. Express Scripts

By 5 Comments

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Walgreens for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

I recently learned in the news about the dispute between Walgreens and Express Scripts. Express Scripts serves as a prescription drug “middle man” between employers and insurance companies that pay for medications, and the pharmacies who provide health care and distribute medications.  Walgreens issue with Express Scripts is that they wanted absolute control over the contract terms.  This included defining which drugs were a brand or generic, drug reimbursement rates,  and more.  Since Walgreens did not agree, Express Scripts decided to no longer work with Walgreens or Duane Reade.  For those who use Walgreens for prescription drugs, this is a huge issue! Patients will have to find new pharmacies, which could not be as a local or personable as the Walgreens they’ve gone to previously.

Walgreens believes this is unfair unfair especially to their customers and the patients they assist. Walgreens has decided to run a January promotion for customers by reducing the prices of the Walgreens Prescription Savings Club.  The club will generously reduce the prices to $5 for an individual, or $10 for a family.  Club membership is regularly $20 for an individual, or $35 for a family.  Members will receive significant savings on more than 8.000 brand name and all generic medications! Walgreens is also offering discounts on more than 400 generic 3-month supply medications. Patients will pay less than $1 a week! All these great savings will help Walgreens’ customers out immensely, especially with the 3-month supply medications. It is believe that the discounted 3-month supply medications is what caused tension with Express Scripts. Express Scripts offers their own 3-month supply medications, in which they probably saw Walgreens as a direct competitor.

Connect with Walgreens on Facebook and Walgreens on Twitter to keep up to date on the latest happenings with this issue.

Oral B Stages Winnie the Pooh Viewing Party ~ #MommyParties & #OralBStages #OralBCrestFORME

By 11 Comments

I was absolutely thrilled to find out that I was selected to host an Oral-B Stages Winnie the Pooh Viewing Party by MommyParties! Growing up I loved Winne the Pooh and couldn’t wait to share this movie with my son and his little friends. When my Oral-B Stages party kit arrived I just had to open it immediately and go through all the goodies. The kit included Oral-B Stages I and II brushes, Oral-B Stages toothpaste, Disney Lavender hair and body wash, invitations, gift bags, popcorn, popcorn boxes, a flash card game, balloons, coupons, and most importantly, Disney’s Winnie the Pooh on DVD.

 I sent an invite out to a local “mom” group I’m in. Spaces quickly filled up within 24 hours! Soon my house would be full with infants and toddlers watching Winne the Pooh (such a great classic) with their Oral B Stages toothbrushes! I quickly put the gift bags together for the guests.

A Funny Thing Happened…

The article written by Landon Gilbert

Isn’t it funny how inspiration can creep up out of anywhere.? I had procrastinated long enough on cleaning out the closets in our home and purging all the items we just did not need. I had great clothes and accessories I found obligated to find charitable donation facilities for. After my third cardboard box of items I realized I was certainly on a roll and I had the thought: How else could I make a positive change in our home? I started with the kitchen junk drawer and made my way through the laundry room and finally the home office. I was sorting through the mail when I came across the electric bill and wondered if my company was the most competitive out there. I took the time to log onto Texaselectricityproviders.com and got loads of information on providers in my area of Texas. Before I knew it, I was changing companies and wondering how in the world such a change could come from simply organizing the closet! You just have to love inspiration.

GlassesUSA ~ Save Big On Eyeglasses!

By Leave a Comment

As someone who wears contacts and eyeglasses, I’ve always been disappointed every time I visit the optometrist’s office.  I have to completely empty my wallet to pay for a pair of new frames.  Let’s just say, I reached a point 10 years ago where I stopped updating my frames with my prescription, because I could no longer afford the rising costs.  The truth is, eyeglasses can be very expensive, especially if you want an stylish pair of frames. This is why I was absolutely thrilled to learn about GlassesUSA.com!  Through their online store, GlassesUSA offers inexpensive glasses you can afford!  Even though I now wear contacts, it is good to know that my back up pair of glasses won’t looked dated.  Plus, since they offer glasses at a fraction of the cost, I can have more than one attractive pair on hand!
GlassesUSA offers a wide variety of glasses for women and men.   Their selection includes everything from eyeglasses to sunglasses to bifocal glasses to reading glasses.  Frames from every style are offered whether you like vintage, modern, or classic!  In addition, you can browse their shop for designer glasses from brands such as Calvin Klein, Diesel, Jones New York, LaCoste, Nike, Tommy Hilfiger, and more.
A perk of GlassesUSA that I love is that they have a “Try Before You Buy” feature.  Simply upload a picture of yourself, and you can select various eyeglasses to view on your photo.  It’s like your own virtual shop with a mirror, just in the comfort of your own home.  This is definitely a great tool when buying glasses online.
Another great aspect of GlassesUSA is that they offer additional ways to save on their already low priced eyeglasses online!  Right there on their website you can grab an instant  $5 off coupon when you sign up for their email newsletter.  In addition, there is a refer-a-friend program.  Simply refer someone to GlassesUSA.  When they go to make their first purchase, they’ll receive a coupon for $30 off!  After their purchase, you will then receive a $30 store credit.  How awesome is that?
Right now is the time to buy and take advantage of their early Holiday Sale!  Receive 20% off any frame in their iSee Eyewear collection, and receive FREE shipping within the U.S., when you use promotional code iSee20FS to redeem.  You can also take 10% off any order of prescription glasses with promotional code Blog10.
