I’m going to let you in on a little secret of mine. Although I don’t believe in luck, I am one of the luckiest people I know. Somehow, I seem to win things a few times a year. Last year, I won a generous gift card to a fancy restaurant (which my hubby and I used for our anniversary dinner) along with several other nice, but mostly small, prizes.
Our 23rd Anniversary Dinner which was paid for with a gift card I won.
And it happened again! Not as pricy a prize, but it is one I really love and will use!
Look at these fab items: PB Powder, Chia Seeds, and Flax Seeds! Thanks, 2 Moms In The Kitchen!
A fellow blogger was offering this prize on her website (2 Moms In The Kitchen), and I won along with 2 other readers. It arrived a couple of days ago, and I used the PB powder for the first time today. It was awesome! Funny thing about the Peanut Butter Powder is that I bought a #10 can of PB Powder a couple of months ago when it was on sale on Emergency Essentials’ website for $13.39 (for 44 ounces which works out to just over 30 cents an ounce ). I didn’t realize what a smokin’ price that was at the time. Their regular price is $16.99 (which is still a great price at 38 cents an ounce), but the PB powder sold in the store is about $6 for 6.5 ounces (or just over 92 cents an ounce). If I’d realized it at the time, I would have bought a few more cans!
Why was this such a big deal when I had a huge can? Well, I drink protein shakes most days to ensure I get enough protein. (If you want to know why I drink them, read my post here.) I get bored with the same old flavors, so I create my own with different fruit, sugar free flavorings, etc. I thought peanut butter would be nice, but I didn’t want to open my one can of peanut butter powder to try it out in a protein shake. Some of my protein shake experiments have not turned out so well, and I didn’t know how quickly I’d use the PB powder if I didn’t use it in a shake. Anyway… I liked it, so now I know that I can open my big #10 can when I’m done with this little bottle, and I will use it all up! I also plan to buy a couple more cans, so I always have some on hand.
Back to winning… What else have I won? Well, the last “big” prize I won was from one of my favorite blogs, “Food In Jars.” I won this handy slicer shredder! Isn’t it cool?
So fun! It even has a crinkle cut option! Thanks Food In Jars!
So, now you know. I win stuff. Not all the time, but often enough to keep life interesting. I think it’s loads of fun to win free stuff, and that’s why I offer giveaways on my blog. It sure brightens my day when I win something fun, and I hope it does the same for you. If you want to enter my current giveaway, please visit my giveaway blog post found here.
