The Walmart Ice Cream Social: FREE Nestle Lil Drums Sample (7/2/11) #theicecreamsocial

Jolon — Sun, 03 Jul 2011 18:18:47 +0000

Yesterday we stopped by the Walmart Ice Cream Social for a FREE sample of Nestle Drumstick Lil Drums. The Bright Ideas station was easy to find in the ice cream freezer section.

The event was from 5:30 to 8:30pm, and we arrived about 6:45pm to find the sample station empty and unmanned. *gasp* I was worried that the “while supplies last” had reached its limit. Luckily, they arrived with more Nestle Drumstick Lil Drum samples after about 5 minutes. :)

We don’t buy a ton of ice cream, and when we do it’s usually sherbet or pints of Starbucks with coupons or Ben & Jerry’s if it’s on sale. I was a little surprised by the higher price point of the Nestle Drumsticks Lil Drums ($4.97 for 12), but after the $1 facebook coupon it would make a nice treat. Great reminder that they’re an easy treat with no drippy messes and I would definitely purchase them in the future.

The Lil Drums really are a perfect snack size. It was just enough ice cream to get your fix without all the calories (they’re only 130 calories). I like that they’re sold in variety packs and appreciate the basic flavors — chocolate or vanilla with chocolately swirls. Classic.

Don’t ask me how The Bubba ended up with the chocolate… it’s mine next time! ;)

Disclosure: I was compensated for this post as part of a campaign for Nestlé, but all experiences and opinions are my own… and FREE ice cream samples? Mmmmm, the best kind!

Refresh for Spring: (3) Paint Deals

Jolon — Tue, 08 Mar 2011 16:50:29 +0000

We’re ready to start repainting The Bubba’s house, so I’ve been on the lookout for paint deals.

I recently requested the Valspar Paint sample/supplies/coupon and it’s still available! Get a decent-sized paint sample, a mini-roller and tray, and a coupon for $5 off a gallon of Valspar at Lowe’s.

This week at Menards (through 3/12/11), get paint, painting supplies (rollers, brushes, tape, etc) FREE after rebate. As with all Menards rebates, you’ll receive an in-store credit which works well if you have other home improvements to do anyway.

Use this printable coupon for $10 off a $50+ purchase at Sherwin Williams valid through 7/31/11. There are 3 locations in Grand Rapids.

Anyone else have a do-it-yourself project coming up? Another question I’ve been pondering: at what point is the time and frustration worth hiring out the labor? ;)
