in Reviews

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Mission Foods. All opinions are 100% mine.
I got hooked on Mission tortillas when I was pregnant with Thomas (my oldest). For some reason, the only thing I could hold down the first few months was a tortilla with a little bit of peanut [...]

Mindi Loves It: Tide Swash Smooth It Out

by Mindi Cherry on August 11, 2010

in Mindi Loves It, Reviews

So one of the things I have been determined to do is insert more of “me” in to this site.  Writing about deals can get very boring and there are products that I use that may not be on sale, but that I couldn’t live without.  I thought I would start of series on these [...]

Kung Zhu: Now It’s Time For The Boys to Play!

by Mindi Cherry on July 14, 2010

in Reviews

I was lucky….when everyone was losing their minds over Zhu Zhu pets this past Christmas, Elizabeth had yet to discover them.  I was spared the craziness of trying to find them for her.
Unfortunately, that didn’t last long.  By February, they were back on the shelves at Target and Elizabeth fell in love with them.  We [...]

I have to admit, when my in-laws told me a few years ago that they were making a special trip to Branson a few years ago, I couldn’t figure out why…then again, at the time, I wasn’t [...]

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Boudreaux’s Butt Paste. All opinions are 100% mine.
(sigh)…you have no idea how much I wish that I could have said to the people at Boudreaux Butt Paste “Oh – I can’t review that! I have no need for diaper creams because my daughter [...]

Meet My New Boyfriend: The Palm Pre Plus!

by Mindi Cherry on March 12, 2010

in Reviews

If you have been around this site for any length of time, you know that I had (note:  I said “HAD”) an unhealthy addiction to my previous SmartPhone.  Honestly?  I didn’t think that anything would pull me away from that phone.  Then, I got snowed in at Nashville and spent some time with one of [...]

Tropicana Juicy Rewards

by Mindi Cherry on March 3, 2010

in Reviews

Last week, Tropicana asked me to become a “Juicy Insider”.  After I got over the initial chuckle (hey – I have a dirty mind), I checked out Tropicana and decided that I could do it.
You see – as I have mentioned before, I am trying to get my family away from the HFCS and artificial [...]

Aldi: Let’s Kiss and Make Up!

by Mindi Cherry on February 7, 2009

in Basics, Reviews, general

So a few months ago I posted a not-so-glowing review of Aldi.  It wasn’t pretty.  It was definitely a minority opinion (judging by the number of comments that I had to delete), but I stood by my opinion that I would only shop at Aldi for a few select items.
Today I found myself near the [...]

New Yoplait Flavors + coupon

by Mindi Cherry on February 2, 2009

in Coupons, Reviews

You know, I get quite a few emails from people and companies asking me to review their products.  Many of them, I just won’t do because they don’t fit in with the theme of this site (seriously – as much as I would love to get the free $75 hand cream, this is a frugal site [...]

Aldi: I’m not Impressed, Part II

by Mindi Cherry on January 6, 2009

in Reviews, Shop

(note to any potential commenters.  I am no shrinking violet.  Don’t think that a few harsh words are going to intimidate me in to reversing my position.  All you will do is piss me off and get me all ranty on you, while also lowering my opinion of both Aldi and Aldi shoppers.  Way to [...]

Aldi: I’m Not Impressed

by Mindi Cherry on November 11, 2008

in Basics, Reviews, general

Yes – you read that right.  Despite all of the buzz on The Internets, I remained among the “Aldi Ignorant”.  The closest one to me is about 15 minutes away in a direction that I rarely travel.  But after reading yet another article singing the praises of Aldi (combined with my husband taking the day off [...]

Some things are worth the extra money

by Mindi Cherry on September 23, 2008

in Reviews, Shop

I recently had an epiphany:  when it comes to my face, I have no desire to be frugal.
I mentioned before that there are very few things to which I am brand-loyal.  One of them was Purity by Philosophy.  But in the back of my mind I was thinking “Min – sometimes you are just too [...]
