Use Kroger Fuel Points to Save at the pump

I love the Kroger fuel points feature. For every dollar we shop, we get one fuel point. In addition to that, there are offers for double and 5x fuel points. Every week our shopping receipt will provide an option for doing a survey and that gives us an additional 50 fuel points. We can save up to a whole dollar for a gallon of gas. The only condition is we have to fuel at a King Soopers or City Market pump.

This time the Magazine Sharing Network is giving away 300 fuel points for sharing our opinion about the Kroger Fuel Rewards. We use gas a lot and the savings we get from these fuel  points really are useful. These came in handy when we went on our labour day trip to drive along the million dollar highway. We fueled at Montrose, the prices were higher there for gas but with our fuel points, we were able to get it much cheaper.

Simple Truth Samples Again

Check out this amazing selection of samples that I got for free from the Magazine Sharing Network:

Here is what my pack came with:

• ONE (1) bag Simple Truth Freeze-Dried Fruit
• TWO (2) Simple Truth Coconut Creamer Sticks
• ONE (1) box Simple Truth Pasta
• ONE (1) Coupon Booklet featuring $40 of savings on select Simple Truth products

The freeze dried fruit pack contained strawberry and banana slices. You could put these in your cereal or smoothie. You could also eat it as a snack. The slices are very light and breaks easily. Here is what they look like:

I didn't use the coconut-milk creamer which I think would be a great option for people looking for lactose-free creamers. I on the other hand always prefer my teas and coffees traditionally made indian style on the stove so these are available incase anyone is interested.

The pasta was very interesting. It is gluten free Fusili pasta made from Brown rice, amaranth and Quinoa. I was delighted to get a whole box for free. It cooks as fast as the wheat version and looks almost identical. However, when you eat it, the texture is completely different. It has more of a ricey (doughy) texture compared to the smooth, shiny texture of wheat pasta.

However, I still used it in my favorite pasta dish. It came together really well. Have a look!

Simple Truth treasure trove of samples

I received a box of Simple Truth free samples sent by the Magazine Sharing Network. My blog posts are in the wrong order unfortunately. This should have been the first post because these are the first Simple Truth samples I received. This batch came with the following freebies:

• ONE (1) Simple Truth Organic Lip Balm
• ONE (1) 6-ct. box Simple Truth Strawberry Fruit & Grain Bars
• ONE (1) pkg. Simple Truth Almonds
• ONE (1) Coupon Booklet featuring over $20 in savings on select Simple Truth items

They also sent a Simple Truth shopping bag to make the shopping experience very green. 

I use shopping bags almost every time I shop so I don't bring a lot of plastic home and also so I don't have to pay 10 cents extra (Yeah, I can be cheap!!).  

Ok let me talk about the other products. The almonds were roasted but not salted and I admit I didn't enjoy them as much as salted almonds. 

I had a very brief encounter with the lip balm because my 7 year old just grabbed it right out of my hands. But sneaky as I am, I did try it out. It has a light buttery feel and easily spreads on to your lips and has a strawberry-lavender scent which is very refreshing.

The energy bars were delicious. It has a fruit and grain organic filling and my husband assures me they disappeared rather quickly.

I also have a bunch of awesome Simple Truth coupons. Tell me in the comments what Simple Truth products you love and I will pick out one person to receive a free set of coupons. (Open to US residents only).

Simple Truth for a green clean

I am a member of the magazine sharing network which is affiliated with Kroger. They send me new products to try and it is awesome to experience new things. Look at the free samples that Simple Truth sent me:

• ONE (1) sample roll Simple Truth Paper Towels
• ONE (1) canister Simple Truth Fresh Mint Cleaning Wipes
• ONE (1) Simple Truth Pop Socket (for your mobile phone!)
• ONE (1) Coupon Booklet featuring over $30 of savings on Simple Truth products

Are you excited yet?

Paper towels are a must have for me and I use it a lot. I got a full size Simple Truth paper towel roll and I love it. Its super absorbent and strong. Cleaning wipes, I don't use a lot but I love that it's organic and will definitely put it to the test.

I would love to hear from you in the comments about what you love about Simple Truth and trying new stuff. I will look through the comments and select one person who resides in the US to receive a free set of Simple Truth coupons. 

Keep reading and my next post may have a giveaway for a free sample!
