My Purex Insiders Welcome Packet


I posted a few weeks ago that I got accepted to be a Purex Insider. Well, last week I received my welcome packet which had a new product to try (photo above). It was the Purex Complete Crystals Softener. It also came with a coupon for FREE Purex Complete Crystals Softener any one 28oz bottle. I was able to wash a few loads of clothes recently and try it out and I love it. It is easy to use. You just add directly with clothes in the washing machine drum. It smells great too, (I have the fresh spring waters sample.) Sometimes when I would use liquid fabric softeners, my towels would have kind of an "oily" feeling to them but when I used the Purex Crystals, I didn't have that. They were very soft and did I mention they smelled really good. lol.


So what are Purex Complete Crystal Softeners? Here are some things I read about this product. Purex® Complete Crystals™ Softener are 92% natural crystals that go in at the start of the wash so they spend more time with your laundry infusing them with long-lasting freshness.They will ensure your towels stay fresh and absorbent and they are 100% safe to use on children's sleepwear as it does not impair flame retardant qualities. Liquid fabric softeners can reduce the effectiveness of your sportswear but Purex Crystals do not inhibit wicking fabrics, making it safe to use on all of your active and athletic wear.

If you would like to try it out go to the Purex Facebook page here and "like" them to receive a $1 coupon. You can find this product at Walmart stores.

Purex Insiders is still acceptiong applications. Do you have a blog or actively use social media like Facebook and Twitter? If so, apply to be a Purex Insider.  If accepted, you will receive a welcome package, get to test FREE samples before products hit the shelves, share your opinion on Purex products, and possibly be featured on Purex.com.

** I received this product for free as a welcome packet from Purex Insiders.  This is my honest opinion based on my own experience, and is not reviewed or edited by anyone. I was not compensated for my review.

Inexpensive Gift Basket




Okay, I was invited to a Housewarming a few weeks ago. Let me tell you, my funds were a little tight that week so I was like, what to do? I decided to make a gift basket and go shopping at home in my "goodie closet." The only out of pocket (OOP) expense that week was $5 for the basket which was on clearance from VD the week before at half off. Whoo, hoo. Everything else was items I had gotten either FREE or close to free from my previous shopping trips to places like Target, CVS, Harris Teeter, Avon or freebies I got in the mail. My out of pocket for everything above was approximately $18 and $5 was for the basket and the photo album was another $5 so basically for everything else I spent $8. The estimated retail value for everything was $87 and yes I was able to put everything you see in the first picture in this basket. lol. So what exactly did I put in this basket? Dayquil, Nivea shower gel, Love photo book, glade freshener, hot cocoa, Starbucks coffee sample pack and another coffee sample pack that I can't think of the name off right now, Carmex lip balm, Avon hand lotion, 2 razors, Colgate toothpaste, Johnson and Johnson first aid kit, feminine products, Trident layers gum, Planters almonds, 2 deodorants, hand and nail cream, Vicks vapor drops, 2 Reese's candy bars (I actually switched out one for a Hershey's bar), Tylenol Precise, Breathe Right strips and a mini popcorn. By the way, they absolutely loved the gift. They thought it was a neat idea. So in case you are wondering, what am I ever going to do with all of this stuff, think of gift baskets, housewarming, thinking of you, teacher appreciation gifts, get well soon, etc. I mean come on, a lot of these prodcuts were name brand and they were for the most part FREE and who doesn't love free? I know I do.

How to get coupons















Do you have a grocery item you love but rarely see a coupon for? Have you wondered where you can go to get a coupon? Well, you could call or email the consumer and tell them how much you like their product and oftentimes they will respond back and send you coupons in the mail or tell you where to go to get them. I recently did this with StarKist. I sent an email to their website and their response is below:

Dear Barb,
Thanks for visiting our StarKist website and for your email.


We appreciate your interest in learning how you can receive coupons for StarKist products. During the year, we feature coupons and promotion offers for our products in magazines, the Sunday newspaper supplement section, and circulars sent to your home mail.


But the best way to find out about special StarKist offers is by visiting our website at www.starkist.com and clicking "Join the StarKist Community" box on the upper right corner of the page and if you change your mind, you can unsubscribe from our list at any time.


Also, if you're a Facebook member, why not become a StarKist fan for more news on coupon savings and tasty recipes? Just click on the Facebook button at the top of our website at www.starkist.com.


Thanks again for your interest. We hope StarKist products will always be favorites in your home, and I'm sending you some money saving StarKist coupons in the mail, in appreciation for your business.


I received the coupons above shortly after getting this email. They are TWO .75 off 2 StarKist Pouch products (which I mentioned I liked in my comment to them) and these will double at my local supermarket or I can stack at my local Target or CVS. So if you like a product feel free to check out their Facebook page, join their community, call them or visit their website.
