Mini Corn Dogs - All Veggie


I'm a big fan of meatless Mondays and started doing my part. I also got invited to participate in the Morningstar compaign on BzzAgent. Being the sneaky aunt that i am, i replaced my veggie-phobic nephew's regular corn dogs with the morningstar ones, he never even noticed a difference.
Here's the product i got:

Morningstar Farms® Mini Veggie Corn Dogs
These mini veggie dogs wrapped in a sweet and crispy cornmeal coating make a great snack or meal. *MorningStar Farms® Mini Corn Dogs contain 68% less fat than the leading beef corn dogs. The leading beef corn dogs contain 11g total fat per serving (76g). MorningStar Farms® Mini Corn Dogs contain 3.5g total fat per serving (76g).

Also join Morningstar for their Meatless Monday campaign for a chance to win great prizes.

New and Improved

to be completely honest, i never really understood the influenster page before. now, i'm happy to report they have updated and its so easy to use.

Now they are easy to understand, have different options for you, and reward u at every step with badges

see more: By now, you've stocked up on LifeStage Badges and Expert Badges, but what about Brand Badges? For now, these babies are only open to influenster who received the brand in their VoxBox, though that will be changing soon. In the meantime, we wouldn't want you to have an empty Brand Badge trophycase, just because you haven't yet received a box.

So to reward our members, we've created the influenster Brand Badge - your first chance (of many!) to slap one of these badges on your profile. As if that's not impressive enough, just take a look below to see the mega prize that awaits one Grand Prize Winner (and the prizes for another lucky 100).

and all about Influenster:
What Is Influenster:
Influenster is a free-to-join community of invited trendsetters who live to give opinions of products and experiences. influenster creates links between brands and members to reward participation and influence future products.
So...what exactly is Influenster?
So glad you asked. Here’s a handy definition that would make Merriam-Webster proud: Influenster [in-floo-uhn-ster] noun
An exclusive online community where tastemakers and trendsetters (such as yourself) come to share the latest and greatest news, places, products, and reviews with each other. 2. The hotspot you just bookmarked on your web browser that turns your social influence into sweet rewards.

Basically, Influenster is a place for culture junkies to come together and share their unique opinions of products and experiences. Active members of Influenster get exclusive access to deals, promotions, and swag from brands that thrive off the input (the good, the bad, and the ugly -- they just want to know what's up). Do I have the chops to be a member?
Probably. Members have an active social life -- both online and offline -- and are always the first to tell friends about the latest discoveries. They want to be the first to know about the products other cool people are loving and hating. Is that you? Awesome, we want you as a member. What’s involved in a membership?

As a member, you prove your influence by gaining Expert Badges and show how you live by earning LifeStage Badges...both of which are won in a variety of ways, such as: completing surveys, writing reviews, creating videos, and engaging in other social media.

What’s in it for me?
Very important. As a contributing member of Influenster, you get the chance to share your knowledge and know-how with other like-minded people.
You also get exclusive discounts on products and services based on the Expert Badges you unlock. You’ll have access to content and sales based on your influence and area of expertise.
As an active influencer, you’ll have the chance to get invites to Influenster programs so you can try the latest and coolest products catered towards your lifestyle before anyone else.
Members who participate actively on Influenster and engage in programs increase their opportunities to receive rewards.
If you participate in online challenges, play interactive games, spread the word to your friends, and gain currency within our system, you’ll earn serious street cred. So wait, is this about getting free stuff?
Nope. If you’re here to mooch, this isn't the place for you. Nobody, no matter how high his or her Influenster Score, is guaranteed rewards. Even if you are offered a reward, you can always opt out. The real benefit of membership is access to exclusive content, product reviews, and discussion within a community of tastemakers. Perks are just the icing on the proverbial cake.
Why is this so fun?

There are many reasons. First and foremost, it's a forum for you and your peers to share your interests and discover what other trendsetters are doing and saying. It's like-minded people coming together to inspire one another and offer advice. Secondly, you’re competing with other members for the highest Influenster Score and Expert Badge scores. Just like a game that you can win, and winning is never not fun. How did Influenster get started?

It was a dark and stormy night…wait, that’s not right. Influenster was started in 2010 by a team of people just like you: culture and beauty junkies with a whole lot of opinions about everything. We wanted a place to come together to share our opinions and hear what other people like us had to say about products and services. The goal? To learn what other influencers care about and to help brands make products that better serve us. After so many hours of labor, out popped Influenster -- an active community where real people share their experiences and give feedback to improve the products we use and the world we live in (yeah, we went there).
After all, you don't have to be a celebrity to think Diet Coke is bubbly and delicious. Every one of us can be influential in different areas with opinions that matter. As consumers, we want to know what other people like us think about products. Influenster is our answer. We give your opinions a voice and your feedback a direct route to brands and trendsetters.

Earn Cash Back Shopping

So its almost as good as using coupons, but it hasn't' caught on as much. If you shop at all online, you need to be using a shopping portal such as Ebates or Shop At Home. All these sites ask is that you click through them before going to your shopping destination. In return, they will give you a percentage of your order back in cash. They don't pay that quick, typically once a quarter and there is some waiting involved, but since its free money back, why not wait for it. I've been with Ebates since 2008 and have earned..... $871 and change.  There are very few sites that aren't online and I find that you can also use them for the specials that the coupon people you are following offer up as well. So not only are you paying rock bottom prices, you are earning cash back on top of it.  I haven't used Shop At Home as much, but I will be receiving my first check in Feb for all my Christmas shopping I completed. Also, new members on Ebates get a $5 to $10 joining bonus with your first purchase.. Any office managers out there or authorized purchasers for companies, it works on Office Depot and Staples too! Travel buffs, check out the hotel and car rental area, get paid cash back on booking your vacations.

 

Here's a picture of my earnings on Ebates  and for all fellow bloggesr, they are offering referral contests for ipads and cash money.
