Yoplait Greek Yogurt "Nourish Your Inner Goddess" Giveaway

I'll admit, when I got the email offering to host a Yoplait Inner Goddess giveaway, my first thought was "more yogurt? really?" Now I like yogurt, but how many yogurt giveaways are there every single month? Maybe you guys don't read many blogs that have them, but I've hosted a few myself and they're all over in the mommy blogger world.

But my mom loves Greek yogurt and I've only had it once or twice myself, so I figured if I was going to form a real opinion of this style of yogurt, I might as well go with a quality brand like Yoplait, right?

And when the box arrived, I'd forgotten all about the rest of the "Nourish Your Inner Goddess" part of the campaign! Slippers, a soft comfy wrap-around robe, and a full bath kit....it was such a nice treat.

So now it's your turn. You get the above, including two coupons to try out their Greek yogurt. It comes in four flavors....strawberry, blueberry, honey vanilla, and plain. Here's how to win*:

-- Subscribe to QuirkyJessi (lots of ways....using RSS, through Blogger, or even by email)

-- Subscribe to Quirky Cookery

-- Comment on Quirky Cookery (any post is fine, just remember to come back and tell me you commented here for the contest)

-- Tell me what flavor(s) of Yoplait Greek yogurt you would try first.

-- Tell me how you get in touch with your "inner goddess." ;)

--Follow me on Twitter (Quirky Jessi) and tweet about the contest


-- Talk about this giveaway somewhere else -- up to 2 separate entries (make a post on your blog? post on a forum? use Facebook? another site you love? just be sure to leave the link in the comments)

Contest ends midnight EST May 3rd. Sponsored by MyBlogSparkTM and Yoplait Greek yogurt who provided both my gift pack and that to be given to a winner of this giveaway.

*This coupon offer for a free cup of Yoplait Greek yogurt is not valid in some states, including California, Idaho, Louisiana, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, North Dakota, and Tennessee. Bummer.

Kroger's Gift Card Giveaway (And other grocery stores)

Giveaway time!

First, the reason for the promotion. Kroger is having a huge sale and in addition to giving me a $25 gift card (via MyBlogSpark), they're also giving one of you a $25 gift card. Woo!  Keep in mind that if you don't have a Kroger, there are other chains in the "family" that it can be used at.

Through March 14th, shop the Cart Buster Savings Event and find the hottest prices around on your favorite name-brand products in over 60 categories at the Kroger Family of Stores, which includes Kroger, Ralph´s, King Soopers, City Market, Dillons, Smith´s, Fry´s, QFC, Baker´s, Owen´s, Jay C Food Stores, Hilander, Gerbes, Food4Less, Pay Less Super Markets and Scott´s Food & Pharmacy.

Here are just a few of the great brands participating in the event: Honey Nut Cheerios, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Pillsbury, Betty Crocker, Hamburger Helper, Yoplait, Progresso, Totino´s, Green Giant, Cascadian Farm, Tide, Charmin, Bounty, Pampers, Pantene, Crest, Iams, Febreze, Old Spice and many more!

Now this particular sale ends in just a couple days, so you'll have to hit up your local store soon to take advantage of it. If you win the gift card, you'll be able to use it for some of their great sales in the future....and there are 'always' sales going on.

Anyway, here's how to get your chance to win one, too.

Yoplait Less Sugar More Fun Prize Pack Giveaway

(Yoplait Less Sugar More Fun Prize Pack - Coupon for free 6 pack of yogurt, lunch box, reusable place mat, a fun spoon that changes colors, and a fuzzy tangle puzzle toy.)

You guys wouldn't know it because I've had posts scheduled in advance, but I've been really sick for a bit now. Why does this make any difference to you, since you're getting posts anyway?

Because I got my Yoplait fun pack a few weeks ago and I'm just now getting the giveaway put up. Yikes! I'm sorry. Again, heh.

And this definitely still counts as gaming-related because, you know, gotta give the kids something quick and easy to snack on while you play, right? Yogurt isn't really gaming friendly considering it takes two hands to eat, but I'm sure the kids would love it while you put off making supper because you're playing video games before playing games. ;)

Let's just get to the giveaway. As usual, lots of ways to enter, so take advantage. The yogurt is really good, even if you don't have kids to share it with, and I've already used the lunch box. MyBlogSpark is letting me give away two of these prize packs, so your odds are even higher. Woo.

It's giveaway time! (Better Homes and Gardens)

Hey guys, it's time for another giveaway. Actually, over the upcoming months, I have several different giveaways, including an Asian dining set, some cookbooks, flash drives, and a few other various goodies.

For now, though, we'll kick-off my giveaway spree with a subscription (12 issues, once a month) to Better Homes and Gardens. It seems like BHG has been around for forever and a day, and even though many magazines are going under as the internet takes over, they seem to be holding up pretty good. Actually, I just checked, and it seems they've been going at it since 1922. Holy cow, they'll be coming up on their 100 year anniversary before they know it.

Part of the reason I'm doing all these upcoming giveaways is to go along with the release of my newest silly site, Quirky Cookery (hence the cooking-related products later). I've been working on it for a while and I think most of you will love it. It's so much fun and basically, all about me playing with my food. You'll find my quirky creations there, along with interesting recipes I'm trying out, wacky products, tons of pictures, stories and more.

Exciting, huh? But let's get you guys to the giveaway for now, considering that's why most people will see this. ;)

We have our winners! Fiber One Pkg Giveaway

Alright guys, we have our winners for the Fiber One gift packages including a Fit & Healthy food journal, a water bottle, a food scale, a
heart-shaped pedometer, and a coupon redeemable for a free Fiber One
yogurt.

I'm especially excited about 'who' won them, too! I wanted you all the win, of course, but the first two people are bloggers I've known for a while. The very first number that was generated by Random.org was 45.

Looks like it paid off for you to go blog about it and come back with the link, Sadie!

The next two numbers were 81 and 62.

That's Erika Jean for following me on Twitter and Judy Brittle (nice to meet you!) for wanting to try the vanilla, hehe.

Shoot me an email with your shipping address and I'll start the shipping process ASAP. :D

Fiber One Package Giveaway! (Yogurt, food scale, journal, pedometer, water bottle, weee!)

(Skip to the bottom of the post if you only want to know how to win your own gift package!)

Yep, I've been given the chance to giveaway three of these Fiber One gift packages! I got mine in the mail a couple days ago and it's all just awesome!

Included is a Fit & Healthy food journal, a water bottle, a food scale, a heart-shaped pedometer, and a coupon redeemable for a free Fiber One yogurt (wouldn't want them actually shipping you the yogurt, of course, hehe).

Now I'm not one to think about my fiber intake, much less actually watch how many grams I'm getting throughout the day. Many other people do, though, and this package is great regardless.

I also had a bit of fun with the Fiber Friend Face-Off where I played a little game of picking the correct foods to reach 25g of fiber. It was followed by a quiz which showed me that I pretty much know nothing about the daily requirements of fiber or how much people generally get, lol. Even if you don't want to play the game, check out the link to enter the Fiber One sweepstakes and print off a coupon. :)

Regardless, I had a bit of fun creating my Face-Off Friend avatar:

Come on, it's not called Quirky Jessi for me to pass up a perfectly good clown nose! :P

I really don't think Kim knew what she had coming to her when she faced my mad fiber picking skills. She looked really tough, but it was no match for my quirkiness. ;-)

Alright, alright, let's get to the contest rules. If you've read this far, you must be one of my regular readers and either get a kick out of me playing a fiber game.....or enjoy pigtails and clown nose combos.

When I enter other people's contests, it's much more inviting when they have several ways to enter instead of just one or two ways. Keep in mind that although Fiber One is the sponsor for this, there's much more to the package than just fiber....who couldn't get some use out of a pedometer, food scale, journal, or a water bottle?
