Have Some Lemonade with Country Time giveawayCLOSED

- brandy3 69 Comments

From Site: What better way to enjoy the summer than with a tall, refreshing glass of Country Time Lemonade. The taste that’s not too tart and not too sweet. Why not mix up an icy, cold pitcher, sit back and drink it all in. Summer’s just not summer without Country Time.

Country time has two lemonade flavors, regular lemonade and pink lemonade. Both are refreshing and have 40% less sugar than leading soda brands.

****We make a lot of kool-aid in our house, so i thought that this was going to be exacyly like that. I was wrong making the lemonade was so much easier. No need for measuring cups and worrying about sugar. the country ime cannister has a measuring cup in the cap.  All you do is fill a pitcher with cold water measure the lemonade mix in cap, pour stir and your done. It’s very delicous too, my kids can’t get enough of it.  It’s a great summer treat.

Country Time has also been a big part of Alex’s lemonade Stand. Helping fight childhood cancer one cup at a time.  For more information please visit Country Time Website

Retail:$3.99

Breyers Smooth and Dreamy Ice Cream8/15

- brandy3 156 Comments

It’s been so hot even here in New York, tempuratures have reached in the triple digets.It’s always nice to cool down with some ice cream. Breyers has 6 new bars and sandwiches that are so delicious. The flavors are Chocolate Caramel Brownie, Vanilla Caramel Chip, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, Chocolate Covered Strawberry, Vanilla Fudge Brownie, and Triple Chocolate Chip.  With 6 grams of fat per serving and 160 calories or less, these are a great treat

****These are good, The best would have to be Cookie Dough sandwiches. It’s like having two chocolate chip cookies with cookie dough ice cream in the middle.My only complaint is that they are very small ice cream sandwiches, and here in NY they are $4.49 for a box of six.
I have 3 coupons for Breyers smooth and Dreamy bars/sandwiches to giveaway
