Got into Smartfood Selects this morning. Looks like "healthified" junk food.

Like the Unreal "healthy" candy. Lol

I've never gotten a food campaign. : (

I guess they only want people that pay for the groceries in the household.

I got the Smartfoods too. I need healthy alternatives for kids school lunch, it is a district requirement. Kids are afraid that their yogurt with oreo mix in is going to be thrown away at my kids school. A kids got sent to the principals office for bringing Takis yesterday.

I just got accepted for the Hidden Valley Ranch campaign, my first one!

What?! I realize they are enforcing better eating by changing school menus but let's face it, we can send our kids with what we want. I'd be in that principals office if he pulled that with me.

Ooooh hope I get into this one. I love using their dry mixes in recipes!

 

[tgooberbutt]

Target had both products, decent selection, and they took the full coupon price off - which got me $4 ahead on the spray, and $3 ahead on the diffuser. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

That's ridiculous. I'm all about making the food schools offer healthier, but if parents can feed their kids what they wnat. Is this a public school??

That school initiative about "healthy" foods is interesting and totally political, considering the amount of carbs, starch and crap most schools put out in their food lines. Lol, I remember what I was served and know the options my teen brothers get and it's not all healthy!

When my daughter told me she was given a pop tart because it was a fruit selection I died a little inside. School food around here is frequently unhealthy and I would love for them to fix that. I do have to say that they have started putting more fresh fruit out this year and most kids love it. Telling a parent what they can or cannot send to school with their kids is overstepping bounds to me.

Now back to the discussion at hand. I finally found the Oil Diffuser at Target. I got it in Fuji Apple and Cardamom spice and it smells divine! We will see how it holds up against smelly tennis shoes!

I love the fuji apple scent too! Got the same scent in both products.

The oil diffuser scents the whole great room downstairs!

It's funny how they are so strict with the young kids home lunches, but then when you get to high school they're serving chicken fried steak, fried taquitos, etc.

   Unless it's changed drastically in the 4 years since I graduated...

The school menus actually have changed drastically where I am (elementary school in TX). Everything is whole grain now, and desserts are cobblers with fruit and whole grain topping or whole grain cookies sort of like Teddy Grahams or animal crackers. They always have a vegetable (although sometimes the vegetable is salad, which is basically a spoonful of iceberg lettuce and one little carrot shred with one sad little cherry tomato), and they used to offer fresh fruit. I think the fresh fruit got too expensive to have every day. They are serving many of the same kinds of foods but with different, improved recipes. I can't comment on the quality of the food items, and I have no idea where they get their ingredients. But it does appear they are trying; it seems every year lately has been better. I started at my school eight years ago and the menu has completely changed since then.

Is anyone else having trouble with their spray? Just me? /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 

[lovepink]

Depends on what you mean by trouble.  I saw earlier in this thread people reporting having to use 2 hands (me too) and that the spray had clogged up and they had to run it under hot water.

My spray works intermittently

 

[astokes]

I haven't had any problems with my spray.

 

[wadedl]

yes the public schools in the district have decided they are going to be healthy so now everything is whole grain and they have fresh fruit. I believe if they buy lunch they have to take at least a cup of fruit. They had a picnic last week to bring parents to buy at the book fair and each student had a whole grain burger or (turkey or chicken I believe) hotdog, plum and a nectarine, a fruit cup for desert and a half corn on the cob.

 

[MissLindaJean]

Catching up, I finally used some coupons, got some Unreal candy and Glade stuff! The extra unreal candy coupons are going to my friend who has a celiac condition. She can have the candy, since there's no wheat! As for the Glade, I got the pineapple one at Target and am sticking it in my little brothers bathroom lol. I'll check in the morning. I bought the cotton mandarin spray at Walgreens with the $2 off coupon. They're on sale for $2.99 and you also get a $1 wag buck back, essentially making them free! I'll stock up tomorrow, when I continue my ELF villainous palette search.

 

[goldenmeans]

Still haven't gotten the Unreal stuff. I guess one of my thieving neighbors got it and kept it.
