Cranberry Raisinets: “Like Regular Raisinets, But Different”
October 31, 2009 - Written by Deb Ng
I received a package in the mail today filled with goodies to review containing, among other things, several packages of Cranberry Raisinets. The timing was good as they came at snack time and I had two seven year olds standing by to give their opinion – The Boy and his friend who, for this study, we will call “The Friend.”
I gave each boy a package of Raisinets and stepped back to catch their honest assessment:
The Boy: Tasty!
The Friend: It’s good. What are they called again?
Me: Cranberry Raisents.
The Boy: They’re like regular Raisinets but different.
The Friend: That doesn’t make sense. How can they be Cranberry Raininets?
The Boy: The should call them “Cranberryets.”
The friend: “Cranberets.”
The Boy: “Cranboogers.”
The Boy and The Friend: “EWWWWWW!!! Gross!!”
The Friend: I wouldn’t eat them if they’re Cranboogers.
The Boy: Me either. We can give them to Matthew. He has peanut allergies. He can eat boogers.
The Friend: EWWWWW!!!!
Me: So what do we think guys, do we like them?
The Friend: Yes. They’re good. You should buy more and give them to me when I visit. My mom won’t buy chocolate because she says it makes me crazy.
Me: I can totally …
It’s That Time Again – Send Your College Kid a Sample
September 11, 2009 - Written by DianaTime to send your college kid a sample. There are a few that they might enjoy, but of course it’s only good if they are already in school. My college girl just loves getting samples in the mail; it’s a nice surprise for her during a busy study week away from home. It also lets her know I think of her, and sometimes I even get a phone call as payment. That’s the best!
Without further ado:
Nature Valley Trail Mix Bar and Granola Nut Clusters – Fill out a form for a free sample.
Kashi Cereal – you get to choose from 3 different samples.
Honey Nut Cheerios - A free sample of Honey Nut Cheerios and a $1.00 coupon. 
Keep your eye …
College Girl Says "Thanks for the Sample Mom"
January 28, 2009 - Written by DianaMy daughter sent me this note to thank me for her sample, and I thought I’d share it with you.
I checked my university e-mail today about five minutes before my class and it says I have a package and I think to myself "What could i have possibly gotten?" not thinking about you and your sample sending fetish (which I love by the way ^_^). Well I have class , then I have to take the shuttle to go out to the barn and I dont get back to my room until about four thirty. The mail room closes at five. I just checked my mail again to see if I had gotten any more mail and I remembered that I had a package! I check the clock and it’s 4:53 lucky me it’s a small campus, so I rush over there and look at the lady and say I’m here to pick up a package? She grabs this tiny box and hands it to me, says here’s your sample! I must given her a weird look cause she gives a lil laugh about it and says- I saw it was quaker …
Send Your College Kid Some Samples
January 9, 2009 - Written by DianaIf you are like me, your kid has just left back to college and the upheaval in the home has died down. They come home and you walk a fine line between being the parent of a kid and speaking with an adult. Sometimes before I’m going to discuss something with my daughter that she may not be thrilled with, I remind her I want to talk with the adult and not my daughter. Just maybe that will temper it a little bit so I get a discussion instead of an argument. However, when she goes back to college, I know the empty mailbox can be lonely. If I find a sample online she might enjoy, just something to make it a little different from the regular dorm food, I send it to her college address. She loves the little surprises. Today I found some, and one site had a bunch to look at. Surprise your college kid, send them some food.
I received this one through email – Free Cream of Wheat sample – http://cow.promotionassociates.net/
I shop at Kroger’s and look through their website for samples. That’s where I found this one for new Orville …
