I just signed up for the $1 trial of GVO. GVO is a well respected web hosting company that is restructuring it’s business into a networking marketing opportunity featuring a 2 X 10 matrix. Basically when you sign up you are given a great hosting package including unlimited websites, website builder, video hosting, conference room, tons of online training and also a place in the 2 X 10 matrix. Over the last 24 hours I actually have almost 30 people in my downline from “spill over”!

Ordinarily this would not be something I would be interested in or post about but I think this is a great opportunity since GVO does not officially launch for 2 more weeks. Over the last 24 hours I have gotten ”spill over” into my downline because the team I am on has lots of great people upline who are promoting this! All this without even telling anyone about the program until now.

What is projected to happen once the site goes live is a lot of “spill over” into the downlines because of all the exposure the company will receive. I have positioned myself to take advantage of this so I thought I would let you know!

I am also going to be moving my websites to this hosting company because it is already self sustaining and I will not only be saving $47/month off the price of my current server but gaining all the residual income from the network matrix, which could potentially be huge.

Take a look and let me know if you have any questions and I look forward to having you on my team!

Honey Kix Giveaway

Sam’s Club $25 GC and One-Day Pass Giveaway

If you have not had the opportunity to try this NEW Honey Kix then today just might be your lucky day! My Blog Spark sent me this wonderful kit you see above along with a coupon for a free box of the Honey Kix cereal to try and needless to say it did not last long at all in my house! My kids love the regular Kix but when they added the thouch of honey to it that made them super happy! My kids love honey on anything and to add it to one of their favorite cereals made it that much better in their books. Honey Kix is a good source of fiber, calcium and vitamin D, contains 16 grams of whole grain per serving (at least 48 grams recommended daily) and has no artificial flavors or preservatives. A perfect balance of taste and nutrition through simple ingredients, which both the kids and I can agree on!  Now on to the good stuff!

What do you win???

One person will win this awesome kit which includes a Honey Kix cereal container, a Honey Kix cereal bowl, a cute little honey dispenser, and a container to take your cereal and milk on-the-go. (I personally was eyeing these at the stores recently but did not want to spend the $5+ dollars each for 3 of them!)

When will it end???

This contest will end on Friday, September 4 and the winner will be announced on Saturday, September 5.

I went in today to finish using some of my coupons and boy was I in for a rough ride. I wanted to grab some of the SOLO cups that were on sale 2/$4 but grabbed the wrong size.

*Now this is where the tricky stuff comes in. Once I got out to my car I looked at my receipts because I could not believe how much money I spent. I am so much more frugal than what I paid. Once I looked over my receipt I noticed the SOLO cups were rung up at full price and there was no indication of a sale on them. I purchased the small kid sized cups along with the 18oz squared cups. I gathered up my OVERPRICED cups and went back in. I told the customer service lady that I needed a refund because I did not need 6 packs of cups at 4.99 each. I explained that I thought they were on sale for 2/$4 but did not ring up that way. So we took one package to the shelf to see what happened. Turns out I picked up the 50ct package instead of the 30ct package. She then proceeded to give me a refund. I got back a refund for 31.95.

** If you purchase 10 items in one transaction a $10 Back To School rebate slip will print off. You are not required to mail in any UPC’s with this rebate slip. You can then take the UPC’s from the products you purchase and mail them in with the Kellogg’s Fuel For School Rebate Form. This is what they call a “double dip” deal.

The next stop I made was to Food Lion. I did three transactions there and walked out with tons of stuff! Several of the items I got will be given to the teachers once school starts.

I broke these deals up into three different transactions because the flips only allow one per transaction. There are 18 Smart Option pizzas and three bags of Tyson chicken nuggets that are not pictured because I had to get them in the freezer. Way too hot out today, 100 degrees with a heat index of 107! OUCH! I also got a little upset because I thought the chicken nuggets were on sale for 4/$10. I was way off! They were on sale but for 4.99/bag. I paid more than I wanted to but my kids will eat them so I just kept them instead of taking them back in. All of the FLIPS (Food Lion Internet Printables) can be printed at Southern Savers Blog. To keep this short I will add all of my transactions up into one.

(3) Tyson Chicken nuggets – 4.99/ea -14.97
