Giveaway

**Reminder** Today is the last day to enter this giveaway.

Yay, I LOVE giveaways! We are having another giveaway. Again, my friends at My Blog Spark have provided me with an AWESOME pack to giveaway to one of my readers. But, first things first.....just so you know, I have been provided with The Souper You prize pack for myself from Progresso through My Blog Spark to try out.

Have you tried out the Progresso soups? Well, they are available in 40 flavors with 100 calories or less! I do really like Progresso soup. Have you tried the Light Clam Chowder? Okay, that is my FAVORITE! I can have it and incorporate it into my daily calorie budget and have the best of both worlds.

To help kick off a new outlook on the New Year, Progresso is excited to announce the return of the "Souper You™ Debut" contest! From January 3rd through March 16th, you all can visit Progresso on Facebook to enter for the chance to win a full makeover in New York City.

Three grand prize winners will be awarded a trip for two to New York City from May 20th-22nd. The prize includes roundtrip airfare, a two-night stay in an NYC hotel, a full makeover, a guided wardrobe shopping spree with a personal consultation at a New York City department store, and $1,000 in spending money.

To enter the Facebook contest, you’ll need to do the following:
Go to Progresso on Facebook to learn more and enter the contest.
Submit your essay (200 characters or less) telling Progresso why you love their soups that contain 100 calories or less, and why you deserve a chance to win a trip to NYC for a full fashion overhaul .

In addition, please submit a photo of yourself that visually reinforces the theme of your essay.

Once the 10 finalists are announced, you can visit Progresso on Facebook from March 30th through April 13th to vote for your favorite.

Visit the Facebook page to download a coupon for $1.00 off four (4) cans of Progresso Soup and to check out makeover videos provided by MyStyle.com and the Style Network. Be sure to also "Follow" Progresso on Twitter to keep up with the latest news from Progresso.

Wow, check this coupon out! $3/1 Sweet Moments when you buy THREE or more packages of ANY variety Pillsbury Refrigerated Baked Goods Product!

Currently, Safeway has the little, teeny, tiny packages of cresent rolls and sweet rolls to 10 for $10.

For those of you with the Safeway coupon book, there is a $0.75/1 cresent rolls (if this is considered a baked good and I have yet to read the fine print on the coupon)
Anyway.....
Pillsbury cresent rolls $0.75 X3, $3

Buy one Sweet Moments (I'm guessing around $2.99 or so, but if you can find clearanced ones at Safeway maybe around $1.50).

My guess is either free or.......
