My Magazine Sharing Network review for Kroger Brand Pub Mix

My Magazine sharing network is a forum where the members get to try Kroger Brand and name brand items for free and give our honest opinion.

#ad #freesample

This time I got to try for free a 22 oz full sized container of Kroger brand Pub mix for free. I got to try the sea salt and cracked pepper variety. I had never tried these before and I didn't even know that they existed. I was skeptical at first and then I tried it. First thing that I observed when I opened the lid and the seal was that it smelled very fresh. Then I tried those there are sesame sticks, sesame chips, Pretzel nuggets, peanuts and pepitas.

I also got for free a koozie for the canned drinks and some coupons for buying free Kroger brand Seltzer water and  some more coupons to share with my family and friends.

After trying these items I realized that I had been unnecessarily shying away from  the store brand products and had been buying only expensive name brand items. Now I'm a fan of Kroger brand items.
                                                                                                                     



















The Container comes with Tamper proof freshness seal. I like that.
                                               

I tried it with my favorite popcorn to add some crunch in my popcorn and it really went very with it

Getting a head start with my Kroger brand Lemon flavored caffeine free seltzer water and 2 containers of Kroger brand Pub mix. Yummy!



My Husband enjoying the kroger brand Pub mix after a tiresome day at work. Some relaxation with a good crunchy snack is a must for both of us.

There is no time,space or place  that is limited to having these for snacks. My reusable container is ready to go to work with me. I'll be enjoying these during my break. They can be had anywhere. easy to carry.

My husband says that these are not too salty and they have a good crunch.

Fall Beauty Challenge for My Magazine Sharing Network

I am a member of My Magazine sharing Network and I get to try different kinds of Kroger products as well as name brand products.

#ad #freesample

This time I got to try these products for free:

• ONE (1) Sample Pack of Dove Dry Shampoo

• ONE (1) Sample Pack of Garnier SkinActive Soothing Facial Mist with Rose Water

• ONE (1) Maybelline Eyestudio Master Precise All Day Liquid Mini Eyeliner

• ONE (1) Sample Pack of Love Beauty and Planet™ Shampoo and Conditioner

• Pass-along Coupons

My Favorite product among these was Maybelline Eyestudio Master Precise All day Liquid eyeliner.It was very easy to apply and it stayed on my eye for the entire day until I removed it at night before going to bed. You have the control you can apply as thick as possible or you can use a steady hand and apply a thin line.

I have become such a huge fan of it that I had to go to the Fred Meyers and buy it  before my sample ran out. They are having some kind of sale I guess on there BOG1/2 off so one store didn't have any left in color black.I went to another store and got it.

Love of Beauty and Planet Shampoo and Conditioner was also my favorite sample among these.I got lots compliment from my co-workers, I had gotten the Murumuru Butter and Rose scent.It smelled so good.It also made my hair very clean and removed all the oil and dirt  from my scalp that was making my hair feel dirty.             

          

I had never used Dry Shampoo in my life before I tried the Dove  Dry Shampoo. People used to tell me that Dry Shampoos leave white stuff on your hair especially on Dark ahir. But I didn't have any such problem.

Garnier Skin Active Soothing Facial Mist is all natural it is made with actual rose water and has no Parabens, Dyes, Silicones or Sulfates that is harmful for skin especially facial skin.                         

Kroger Products review for My Magazine Sharing Network

I'm a proud member of My Magazine Sharing Network and I get to try a lot of Kroger Brand items that normally I wouldn't have been aware of.

#ad #freesample

This time I got a free kit to try of Kroger Brand products :

• ONE (1) Kroger Brand Gummi Worms, 9 oz.
• ONE (1) Kroger Brand Mini Twist Pretzels, 15 oz.
• ONE (1) Kroger Brand Candy Tote Bag
• THREE (3) Pumpkin Carving Stencils
• ONE (1) Coupon Booklet

I'm not good with carving so I used my Grand parent volunteer's help and she used the stencils that I was sent to paint the Pumpkin. She did a very good job. There were happy faces also in that stack. I used that Pumpkin in my Library to do a story time during the fall festival.

I made some Milk Chocolate Bark using the recipe that was in the kit. Their Chocolate chips were very good and were beyond my expectations. It came out shiny smooth and very easy to work with after melting.

I took 1 Cup of Kroger brand Chocolate chips and melted it for 30 seconds then I beat it with a spoon and again it was heated for another 30 seconds.I had already  lined a baking sheet with wax paper before I started the melting process. Then I quickly spread the melted chocolate on the wax paper. and in went Kroger Gummi worms and Kroger brand Mini Twisted Pretzels. After putting everything on the top.The try went in the fridge for 1 hour to set. This was my first attempt at making Chocolate bark and it was a very successful attempt. The chocolate sometimes gets burned up on heating ( I have melted chocolates for making Ganache before so I know that  good quality chocolate  doesn't burn so easily and  this one satisfied me on that level too besides being tasty.

Pretzels were tasty too no too salty but just right. I'll be buying these items in future.

Fuel Points Review at Kroger family stores.

I'm a member of Fred Meyers digital coupons. Every time I shop at Fred Meyers using my registered loyalty Fred Meyers gift card I get  1 Fuel point and I point towards rewards point. After I have accumulated 100 Fuel points  in  a month I can get a .10 cents off each gal.So if I made 200 points then I get a .20 cents off one gallon of gas at their gas station and I have to give them my registered  card to get that discount.

The fuel points are good until the end of the

next month

here is an example of my fuel points in the month of September. I earned 161 points when I took this screen shot but in the end I needed with  261 points or so and I got .20 Cents of a gal of gas when I went to fill up my car.

I absolutely love this program. You can also enroll in it by entering your loyalty card info on their website. Remember to scan your card every time you shop. Don't forget to give your card for scanning when you go to their gas station.

Received free fuel points  to enjoy some saving while filling up our car this weekend.

Free & Clear Baby Wipes review for Generation good.

I use Baby wipes for pretty much everything like removing my make up, cleaning my face and also for personal hygiene. I work at a school and I keep a bunch of baby wipes for my students. My students are as young as 5 years old so baby wipes are good for them.

I was always looking for a good quality wipes which also means that I was looking for moist wipes that don't get dried quickly but at the same time are gentle on our skin. So I got to try these Free and clear Seventh generation wipes for free.

These are safe for baby's Hands and face so they should be very safe for older kids and grown ups.These are made for sensitive skin so might be safe for people with skin issues or for the people who have sensitive skin. They are fragrance free and there is 0% alcohol, Parabens or phenoxyethanol.

Seventh generation products are all plant based products.

Osmocote Plus Review for smiley360

I'm a member of Smiley360 and as a member I get free products to test and give my review.

This time I got a free full sized bottle of Osmocote Smart release Plant food.This works on both outdoor and indoor plants.


#ad #Freesample

My free bottle came at the right time.We had just started gardening and it was Spring. So I could use this right away while I was plating things.

I make two hanging baskets every year using fuchsia starters.They are cheaper than buying the grown plants.I use the same hanging basket every year.I just replace the Coco liners. I use same number of starter plants in each and soil is also same every year. The place that they are hung at get same amount of sunlight. I water them with a container so about same amount of water is poured in them.

Osmocote Plus is slow release plant food and it releases it's nutrients when the plant needs it.This plant food is fortified with 11 nutrients.It feeds up to 6 months so you pretty need 1 application for the Annuals.This fertilizer is the form of Granules that are coated with a special resin and this controls the release of nutrients to the plants.

You  sprinkle them in the soil, mix it and then water the plants.Reapply if the plants are perennial after 6 months. I won't do it because I live in colder climate and I want my plant to rest during the winters.

The Osmocote Plus plant food has Nitrogen,Phosphate, Potash ,Magnesium, sulfur and other nutrients that a  plant needs. I love it and try it and I bet that you will see the difference and love it too.

This year what I did was I put Osmocote Plus in one of the hanging baskets and other one was not given any kind of plant food. I saw the difference the one that got the plant food started growing right away while the other one remained at a slower growth after a month I put Osmocote Plus  smart release Plant food it took off.

This one was before feeding. This one doesn't even look like that it will do well leave alone do very well.Some of the leaves look rediish instead of green.

Same plant after feeding Osmocote Plus outdoor and indoor Plant food. It is lush full and very pretty. Looks like a store bought ready made plant but it is the same plant as above. Leaves are healthy green and shiny. Bunches of flowers and buds hanging.

Kroger Brand Mega mission for My Magazine Sharing

I'm a member of My Magazine Sharing Community and I get lots of free Kroger brand products to try for free and give my opinion.

This time around I got a  Full sized Kroger brand Chunky Chipmates Chocolate Chip cookies Made with real chocolate. I was very glad that I got to try these otherwise I probably wouldn't have thought about getting those. So, thanks Kroger and My magazine sharing that I got this awesome opportunity to try them.

They were delicious I ate them just like that and even crumbled them and put them in  Greek yogurt. Kind of like a snack+Dessert. Yummy! The pack has 13.75 OZ cookies. Cookie size is small so lots of cookies in a pack. I personally like chewy cookies but these were still very delicious. We can see chunks of chocolate in each cookie.Portion size on nutritional facts is: 2 cookies and 2 cookies have 9 grams sugar and 3 grams of saturated fats. Not too bad and it satisfies your craving for sweet stuff if you have a sweet tooth. My Husband normally doesn't like a lot of things that he hasn't eaten before. This was something new for him but he liked them a lot and I was happy to see that reached out for more.

I have very rarely liked packaged cookies that were not sold at the bakery section but this one I really loved. I think that I'll be buying these for a long time to come.

Bob's Red Mill Muesli Cups review for Social Nature

I got to try The Bob's Red Mill Muesli cup for free to try and give my opinions. I found this at Whole Food Market. They Had three flavors 1. Original, 2. Tropical and 3. Paleo

Didn't know exactly how Paleo was different.I have heard about Paleo diet but don't what it exactly is. So I picked Tropical Flavors thinking that it might have Peaches, Pineapple and mango pieces in it. But I found lots of coconut slivers and pumpkin seeds.

I prepared it in Microwave oven. Very easy to make you fill up with water up to the line inside the cup. Heat it in the microwave for 1 min and 30 seconds then take it out stir and cook for another 1 min and 15 sec. Take it out let it sit for 2 minutes before eating it.

Mine spilled in the first round of cooking not sure if I should have put the lid on it. second time around I had put some kind of lid so no spills.

The finished product ready to eat wasn't too sweet like most of the items that are packaged  and sold in the market.However I wanted it to be a little sweeter so I added some sugar not too much little sprinkle made it all good personally for me.

Pretty good!

Seventh Generation Free & Clear Laundry Detergent packs Review

I had used Seventh Generation Liquid detergent so I was super excited to try The Seventh Generation Free & Clear Laundry Detergent Packs. I got these for free to try and give my opinion.I had never tried these. They are super easy to use just toss one or two in HE washing Machine and let it work it's magic on the clothes. No more measuring guessing liquid detergent.

These are meant for sensitive skin and people with no skin issues can also use them  They are absolutely fragrance free.There is no alcohol or parabens in it. They are safe for babies skin to.There is no fragrance in it.Though I would have loved to have some natural fragrances to keep the clothes smelling good. But then I know that there are people that can't be around fragrances because of their sensitivity  to fragrances.

These packs were pretty good and took care of the most stains but I saw that it just about faded the tomato and turmeric stains didn't completely take them off. But other clothes came out clean and looking fresh.I would definitely buy these in future.

All the opinions in this review are mine and I was not compensated in any way to review this.

Got free samples to try.

Osmocote Plus Indoor and outdoor Plant food review for Smiley360

I'm a member of of Smiley360 that sends me products for absolutely free to try. This time they had sent me a Free full sized Bottle of Osmocote Plus Indoor and outdoor plant food.

I love gardening and I grow plants indoor and outdoors so this product was very relevant for me. I was already using Osmocte plant food but before this mission I was not aware of Osmocote plus.

Now I have become a fan of Osmocote Plus.I have gotten some good results on the plants that I fed with this food about a month ago.

My Gerber daisies are very happy and they are still doing very good. I had never gotten very successful at growing these beauties and I had never thought of feeding them.This time I did apply Osmocote Plus and I'm getting more flowers now.This Picture was taken a month ago and now my plants have more leaves and and more buds are coming up.

I also applied this to my Fuchsia baskets that I planted on the same day and using same soil and put same number of starter plants that were of the same size. I applied it to one of the baskets and didn't put it in the other basket the one that got fed is doing very well and the other one is doing okay but not quite as good as this one. Here are some Pictures.

The last picture is of the basket that didn't get fed. I'll fed it and then see what happens.
