Guilt Free Fiber One Yogurt + $50 Safeway Gift Card Giveaway

Fiber One Strawberry YogurtDay in and day out, I'm fighting a never ending battle with my sweet tooth. Yogurt has long been in my arsenal of weapons. Fiber One Yogurt takes one of my favorite healthy treats to a new level: zero guilt! The 4oz cups have 5 grams of fiber, just 50 calories and no fat. It comes in four flavors: Strawberry, Peach, Vanilla and Key Lime Pie. So far I've tried the Strawberry and Key Lime Pie flavors and found them to be creamy and delicious. Should I feel guilty if I eat two?

Now through February 9th, you can stock up on Fiber One Yogurt at the Safeway family of stores (including Dominick’s, Tom Thumb, Randalls, Vons and Genuardi’s) with two 4-packs for just $4.00!

$100 - Imagining the Possibilities

What would you do if someone handed you an extra $100? Would you do something sensible - buy some groceries or use it toward bills? Something impulsive - maybe a new pair of shoes, lunch with a friend, a night out on the town? Would you donate it to charity? So many possibilities.

I asked Jake what he would do with $100. He said he'd buy "Toys. Lots of cars. A Hot Wheels race car!" Can you imagine a hundred dollars worth of Hot Wheels cars? I'm tripping over them all the time as it is.


Then I asked the twins what they would do with a sudden windfall. They just gave me a blank stare. (This reminds me of several trips to Target, when my husband offered to buy them anything they wanted. Anything! But they had to ask for it by name and the offer was only good on that one day. I half expected them to start talking on the spot.)

My husband first said he'd put the Benjamin in the Vegas Fund, that little stash we keep just in case we ever find someone crazy enough to watch the kids for a weekend. Then he changed his mind and decided he'd use it to buy oxygen sensors for his car. How's that for excitement?

As for me, I have it all figured out. Jake's 4th birthday is coming up. He's been reminding me 82.6 (on average) times a day. I think he really thinks I might forget. Where is the faith? Anyhow, we're having a hockey themed party and I think it would be a great time for a visit from an old friend.

Bailey is the mascot for the Los Angeles Kings and Jake adores him. As it turns out he's available for appearances at birthday parties and special events. Even better, the appearance fee is a donation to Kings Care Foundation. I can picture the smile on Jake's face already, supporting a good cause would just be icing on the cake.

What about you? How would you spend an extra $100?

Kodak and JuiceBoxJungle sponsored me to write this fun post, about what I'd do if someone with a surprise extra $100 if someone handed it to me next month.
