Walmarts round table and great value sampling
If you shop at Walmart you have heard of the great value brand(Walmart brand). The great value team has launched a new program called “The Round Table” which is a survey based community for people who buy the great value brand.The Round Table offers users the opportunity to complete surveys regarding Great Value products. Each completed survey enters the user into a monthly drawing for ten $500 WalMart gift cards.
I got to try several different foods from the great value brand. I tried the toasty o’s cereal, cinnamon crunch cereal, shortbread cookies, cheese crackers, and twist and shout cookies.
All the foods taste the same as the national brands, but I have tried frozen great value products and i don’t think they taste the same. The toasty o’s cereal i would say tastes better than regular Cheerios. Cheerios always left a nasty after taste in my mouth and the toasty o’s didn’t. The cinnamon crunch cereal tastes the same as cinnamon toast crunch.
The shortbread cookies i’m not a fan of. but my children loved them. The twist and shout cookies Tastes the same compared to oreos.It would make them a lot better if they were in fresh packs that are resealable. after we opened the cookies they went stale fast.
The cheese crackers taste the same compared to cheese its or cheese nips.
Overall it saves you money and tastes the same. I’ve also tried great value milk and apple juice, they taste great. The packaging though is just boring. There is not much color and excitement to them. My children are very picky and it’s hard to get them excited about certain foods. If it doesn’t have a pretty package they won’t eat it.
You can find great value products at your local Walmart and www.walmart.com
Disclosure: I received great value products for free in exchange for my review, this however does not change my personal views.
Thanks to Walmart More than Eleven Moms for this post

****I love fried foods, it’s so much better than oven fries or chicken strips. It’s very unhealthy though. The george foreman deep fryer Knocks out the fat, 55% of it. Now this deep fryer is worth the price for getting the foods you love without all the fat and grease. It’s also inconvienant in some ways. It is big and bulky, It takes a lot more of your time, It only fits about 1/4 bag of fries or 6 chicken strips. There are positives too. The food comes out very crispy and not a lot of grease. We use this everyday and absolutely love it.
This sows just how big it is
here are some foods we made
This pic shows the little grease left over
Retail price: $149.99 but you can find it on Amazon for $110.09

This car is small, but perfect for the hands of a preschooler. The batteries were a bit hard to put in, as the cover is a little hard to get off. My children absolutely love and approve this toy, they can not put it down. It’s a land and water toy, but you can not submerge it in water, just small puddles. The headlights also light up, which is fun for playing in the dark!

National School Bus Safety week
October 19-23 is National School Bus Safety Week.
We live near several school bus stops, and I see so many people daily ignore the stop arm. It’s dangerous to ignore it and people will and do get hurt. So please stop and Obey. It is never legal to pass a school bus from behind when the red lights are flashing, and it is illegal to pass such a school bus when traveling in the opposite direction. In a few states, it is legal to pass a stopped school bus with flashing red lights when traveling in the opposite direction on a divided highway.
26 million students who take the school bus daily – Avoid Harm, Obey the Stop Arm! This is the theme for the 42 annual School Bus Safety Week.
The yellow school bus has been found by the National Academy of Sciences and U.S. Department of Transportation to be the safest way to transport students, which is tremendously important considering half the nation’s students ride the bus daily. Additionally, each school bus takes an estimated 36 cars off the road, decreasing traffic, especially around schools. Despite this, less than half the nation’s parents (49 percent) realize the school bus is the safest way for children to get to and from school according to a recent American School Bus Council nationwide survey of parents
importance for drivers to follow the rules of the road and stop when the stop arm deploys, which includes red flashing lights and a stop sign, and children get on and off the bus. The stop arm requires drivers in all states to stop, but this traffic violation is a common occurrence as noted in studies conducted by numerous states.
About School Bus Safety Week
School Bus Safety Week was created in 1960, commemorated by Congress and the President in 1969 and recognized most recently by a congressional resolution in 2006. The goal of SBSW, which is sponsored each year by the National Association for Pupil Transportation, National Association of State Directors of Pupil Transportation Services and National School Transportation Association, is to emphasize the importance of a unified effort among students, parents and the motoring public to ensure a safe and secure ride for the nearly 26 million children who are transported daily on yellow school buses. This week also recognizes the hard work and dedication of school transportation professionals, especially the school bus drivers who ensure a safe journey for students daily. For more information about SBSW, visit www.napt.org.
Please teach your children, and everyone else the importance of this. The American School Bus Council Web site features school bus safety coloring pages and a downloadable children’s book www.americanschoolbuscouncil.org.
