See Hungry Girl and Consumers Talk About Yoplait Fiber One Yogurt and Try it for Yourself

Ever since I first had the opportunity to try Yoplait’s Fiber One yogurt last summer, I knew I had found my new favorite yogurt and since that time, my love for Fiber One yogurt has not wavered one little bit.

Before Yoplait’s Fiber One yogurt even hit shelves, it had already received Lisa Lillien, also known as Hungry Girl’s seal of approval. In fact, it is the first nationally-distributed yogurt to receive this seal of approval. In every 4oz of this yogurt is 5 grams of fiber (20% of the recommended daily value each and every single one of us need daily,) is a great source of calcium and vitamins A and D and is just 50 calories.

In the past, we have also had the opportunity to share with you coupons for Yoplait’s Fiber One yogurt–one for $1 off of a 4-pack of yogurt, and another for a free 4-pack of yogurt. Needless to say, this yogurt rocks and I am so excited to be able to share even more Fiber One yogurt love with all of you out there!

At a recent Fiber One yogurt tasting event, Lisa Lillien chatted with consumers about this tasty snack. Thanks to Yoplait, we have the opportunity to share a video with you from this recent tasting event so you can see what other folks think of Fiber One yogurt and also a downloadable $1 off Fiber One yogurt coupon!

Yoplait’s Fiber One yogurt comes in four flavors–strawberry, vanilla, peach and key lime pie, so you will definitely be able to find a flavor that you will absolutely love. Enjoy!

If I Only Had More Time…and $250 More Dollars

At least once a week, if not once a day, a woman will proclaim that if she only had more time, she could get one more thing on her never-ending list of duties done.

As we have mentioned quite a few times before on Woman Tribune, Alice is an amazing web service (and iPhone app!) that will help you take and keep stock of all the household products you use and need on a daily basis. It gives you a super easy and convenient way to order new household items and have them shipped directly to your house, and Alice will also alert you to let you know when something is running low that you may not have noticed. Gone are the mornings when you realize you’re out of shampoo and walk into work with a mop on your head. Typically, an Alice user eliminates the chore of going to the store for these much-needed items, saying them 30 minutes per week. Of course that’s according to Alice, because I’ve experienced shopping trips that last much, much more than 30 months and that is more than once a week; but nevertheless, you are pretty much guaranteed to save a half hour of time usually spent in the store when working with Alice.

Because Alice is the awesome household friend that just keeps giving, they are asking What would you do with more time? Your answer could very well give you $250 extra dollars to use on Alice.com and save a pretty penny on your household items.

To enter this contest, all you have to do is submite your story detailing what you would do with 30 extra minutes a week. Would you play with the kids, make an extra special dinner for the husband, take a bike ride or a yoga class, or maybe even take a nap? Whatever it is, Alice wants to hear about it. You can also submit a video, for no other reason than to accurately portray your desperation for $250.

Get Alice on Your iPhone

With the amount of benefits Alice provides to busy folks shopping for household essentials and the oh so excellent deals they have to make sure you’re getting the lowest price, it was only a matter of time before Alice had her very own iPhone app.

If you’ve never heard of Alice before, it’s a website that makes it easier and cheaper for you to shop for your household essentials like Q-tips, toilet paper, laundry detergent and more and even get reminders of when you’re running low and need to order more–and not only that, but Alice will ship your order right to your house so you don’t even have to go to the store. From a personal perspective, Alice is a hermit’s dream. When you download the Alice iPhone app (for free, I might add!), you will have full access to product lists, coupons, reminders and shopping cart. You can access price comparisons, ingredients, customer reviews and coupons for the top 50 daily deals on Alice.com.

A New Year’s Resolution that You Can Actually Follow Through With: Be More Frugal!

Tomorrow is already New Year’s Eve, can you believe that because I know I can’t! Weren’t we watching horror movies and handing out candy to trick-or-treaters last week? While a great deal of people are planning their annual New Year’s Eve bashes or making plans to celebrate with their friends and family, it is also the time when a great deal of people are making New Year’s Resolutions and frankly, most resolutions are not kept for very long despite the intentions behind them. I have never been one for resolutions but looking back on the past few years and particularly our finances, 2010 has to be a prosperous year and there needs to be a little more management there and so this year, I have made a resolution. 2010 is going to be a more frugal year for this family!

Saving money may seem like a very simple task to some. However, when you get in the midst of a busy week and you’re scrambling to get chores around the house done after working all day, the convenience of ordering out instead of bringing yourself to cook a meal really overcomes you. Saving money has become increasingly hard for many families out there because of the financial crisis and it’s subsequent job loss, when you have debt piling up on top of debt and you’re struggling to pay your rent or mortgage, monthly bills and car insurance, the act of trying to save money becomes extremely difficult.

Luckily, when it comes to the topic of trying to save money, there are a great deal of people out there who feel your pain and who are in the same boat and are sharing their experiences and pointers during the process. This article, 30 Ways to Save Money is one of the best list of pointers I have come across because it not only includes the average tips such as cooking more at home and avoiding impulse buying, although they do make the list, but also advising you to stay away from lavish friends who seem to have it all which will make you want it all by extension and also to go to the movie theaters before 6PM if you enjoy that sort of thing or want to have a date night with your partner because most theaters have early bird matinee showings for the first showing of the day. There are also a great deal of coupon codes you can find from several stores, companies and businesses so when you need to purchase something, a lot of the times you can find some promotional offers and when you do, you can then buy in bulk!

Living frugally can be a bit difficult to get used to, especially when you live in a country that celebrates rapid consumerism and when you are not used to having the mindset that you need to cut back on spending or telling yourself not to buy something if you do not really need it. I’m determined to eliminate the buy buy buy mindset for 2010!

Make Informed Decisions While Shopping Online

With the world’s population now doing the bulk of their shopping online and the people of the US, specifically, going through the first hurdle of a recession, we are now beginning to see the impact money makes on our lives and more importantly, the real value of a dollar. As a freelancer, I, along with other freelancers have spoken about how we feel the decline in income first and we have collectively been seeing the first few waves of an impending recession for months now. As someone who also shops online quite frequently, I have become a bit pickier about how and where I spend the money I do manage to earn.

Many stores will do the first leg of a sale online only, before it hits stores and they have also released online only coupon codes. Internet sales are important to companies and the convenience of online shopping is important to us. That is why I was thrilled to have come across a website that I have come to refer to as the bible of cheap online shopping.

Free Shipping.org is a website that tells you what stores are currently having promotions and where you can get the convenience of free shipping. You may come across a sale item on a store’s website but once you get through the checkout and look at the shipping costs you soon realize that while you did get a product a lot cheaper online than you would have at the store, you end up paying what you supposedly saved and then some just in shipping costs. Free Shipping.org lists the stores you want to shop at, the free shipping promotion they are running at the time and the promotional codes letting you save as much money as possible.

Their site is set up into several different categories containing over 800 stores so each and every single person who likes the convenience of online shopping should not miss out on any free shipping promotion. Free Shipping.org also gives you the added security of free shipping alerts, letting you know every time a store has a free shipping promotion.

Don’t spend more money than you have to when shopping online and visit Free Shipping.org for free shipping promotions at your favorite stores.
