If you know me you know I love bargains!  I also need to be efficient and organized to get everything done that needs to be done.  So, how do I combine the two?  One of the ways is to buy in bulk.  But this presents storage problems.  Especially, for cereal.  Once I open a humungo box of cereal, it will go stale faster and the box is usually pretty unwieldy.

Enter Cheerios!  They have some brand-new packaging that solves these dilemmas!  New 2 box Cheerios contains two boxes, that makes it easier to store, easier to pour, and I'm not left with a huge box of stale cereal. 

Some other benefits include:

• By reducing the amount of air in each individual bag, these enhanced containers fit 10% more cereal than before and use less packaging
• While each box contains more cereal, packaging material has been reduced by over 200,000 lbs, saving 1,000 trees and taking 130 Cheerios trucks of the road, decreasing CO2 emissions

I love the new packaging! The first time I got a little vigorous and tore a little piece of my box, but after I realized I didn't need to be Hercules, they were very easy to use.  I love that box is easier to pour than the other behemoth boxes.  No more spills from my kids!  Way to go Cheerios!

So do I have you craving some Cheerios?  Well, two, count 'em two, lucky winners will each win (2) new 2 box Cheerios packaging (four boxes)!  Cool, huh!

We live in the desert.  Now, don't get me wrong... I love where I live!  But to say my home gets dusty and dirty, is an understatement!  My carpets were looking so yucky that I didn't want to walk on them, let alone sit on the floor.  Enter Stanely Steemer!  I was offered the opportunity to have them come clean my carpets.  Can I have a woot! woot!

I was almost embarassed to have them come out (almost).  But the drive for clean carpets outweighed my embarassment at how dirty they were.  I made an appontment online at www.StanleySteemer.com which was super easy to do.  I got an online quote so there were no surprises.

The day arrived for the cleaning.  There was very little prep work on my part, just removing knick knacks and such, no heavy lifting.  The Stanley Steemer team arrived right when they said they would and got right to work.  They didn't even make a face about how dirty my carpets were!  They were completely professional and put me right at ease.

My carpets look fantastic!  Now I remember why I picked this carpet in the first place, it's actually nice looking once it's clean!  I love walking on my carpet, and I even sit on it again!  Even my teenage daughter commented on how nice the carpets looked!  I know, I was shocked too!
