Halloween Fun with Walgreens Balance Rewards #CBias #BalanceRewards

I proudly shop at Walgreens once a week,and have been an online photo member for many years. I was very excited to find out that all of my online information could easily register me for Balance Rewards. All I had to do was visit my local Walgreens and ask a service clerk, for a Balance Rewards loyalty card at check out. I simply down loaded the app and am now a proud money saving member!

Before I went to my local Walgreens, I checked out the Balance Rewards website. I simply signed in with my log in information that I have used for Walgreens Photo. I verified that all of my contact information was current, and did not need to be changed or corrected. The site was so easy to use, it took less than two minutes! This busy Mom, loves any process that saves time, and money!

Walgreens Balance Rewards has an app for iPhone and Android. The Walgreens Mobile app only took a few seconds to download, and was able to tell me that it was compatible with my smart phone! 

Once I downloaded the app, I was amazed at the options! Refill a prescription, store locator, send pictures to the photo department, look at the current ad, money saving coupons, and Balance Rewards are all just a click away! It is a huge time saver, to be able to just find everything so quickly in one app! The great news is that you can sign up in store to become a Balance Rewards member!

I was so excited to find a Jell-O Jigglers mold kit, as I was looking for something for Halloween ideas. I was looking for the brain mold, but thought this kit would be so much easier for my two boys! The price was great, and I couldn't wait to share a Halloween memory with my boys!

Halloween fun was made with minimal supplies! All I had to find was a ladle, whisk, and boil the water; everything else was included in the Jell-O Jigglers mold kit. The simplicity of the kit was perfect for my two boys. Simple, fast, and exactly what we were looking for in a Halloween treat! My 5 year old, chose to make the grape jello first. He easily helped me pour and stir the Jell-O, and helped to fill the Jiggler molds. The smell was awesome, and he told me he couldn't wait to eat them once they were set and chilled.

I had a stash of plastic spiders from last year, in our Halloween decorations, and thought it would be fun to surprise the kids with them, with the Jell-O Halloween Jigglers. I have to tell you these turned out great, I really thought they would stick or would not release from the mold, but they turned out perfectly. The shapes are: pumpkins, bats, ghosts, skull,s and spiders. 

The boys then helped me make quick gifts for our neighbor's kids. The paper gift bags, pencils, and candy, will make a great surprise! I found some ribbon that I had in my craft supplies; I simply punched a hole in the top, folded over the top, and tied on the ribbon to each bag. I cannot wait to see our neighbors faces when we surprise them! Everything I needed was at Walgreens, and the gift bags and pencils were all on sale!

    I saw that jello kit to and almost got it! I have had the Walgreen's app for a while now and when it did the recent update I noticed the rewards part. I am going to have to check it out as I am a Walgreen's shopper too.

    I keep meaning to sign up with the Walgreens app. They stopped taking my insurance, so I don't visit there as often as I used to.

It is that time again! Conference season, is here and I know many Bloggers are heading to conferences to network, connect with brands, and to see those that they correspond with on Social Media! I was amazed and overwhelmed at the amount of "stuff," one can drag with them to a conference. As I packed my bag for a local two day conference,  I could not help but count the number of gadgets and cords that I would be hauling with me.  It wasn't until lunch time, that I gave any thought to the fact that there weren't any outlets available to charge all of my devices that I used throughout the day to connect to Social Media! As I looked around there were hundreds of bloggers and business people, all with the same concern. How on earth would I save my dying Smart Phone?
