Enter me!
These Tyson dinners are so good. They are perfect to have on hand for those nights when the troops are hungry but I’m too tired to make a real dinner. A better alternative than the frozen pizza.
Sounds like a great conference!

free food is good! Pick me pick me!
I saw those Wisps today at CVS, but you know I was so into getting what was on my list and trying to use some ECBs that I never even priced them. I’ll get those when there is a good coupon and a good deal. I have the Walgreens ad for March 29-April 4 ad. They are $1.99 for a 4-pk. Mercedes, I hope that wasn’t a secret. Wouldn’t it be nice if a $2.00 coupon was coming soon?
It would be nice to win some free Tyson products. Thanks.
Thanks for all that you do!

Take care, Kathy

These heat n’ serve dinners are great. I’d love to win.

Those wisps brushes sound really convenient. Does the product leave an aftertaste in your mouth and do you think it would be something that could be used on children under 10?
I can’t wait to try the Wisp! Sounds like a great product, I can’t believe no one has thought of it before.
I would love to win!!
You all look like you are having a great time. What fun. I haven’t seen those Wisp brushes in stores yet, that is an interesting idea, I would love to try those. I haven’t tried the Tyson entrees yet, either, so thanks for the opportunity to win.

I love your posts, they are very helpful and easy, but interesting to read.
