Dear Jeff Bezos, Please Buy GreenBlender!

Over on my Roxy's Best Of....site, I've posted a desperate plea to Jeff Bezos of Amazon/Whole Foods fame to acquire GreenBlender and help me get back to healthy smoothie delivery in time for Summer 2019.

Pssst.... Don't Tell London and Maddie

I know it's only Halloween, but I'm doing a little bit of online Christmas shopping. I have one of those 10% Target Rewards certificates that expires next week, and I wanted to get a jump on shopping at a discount (unfortunately, I have learned through a call to their less-than-helpful customer service that Target doesn't really mean it when they claim "free shipping on your $50+ order"...unless you're buying "specially marked items"...their message seemed to be "go shop in the store... who cares whether you'd rather spend the time with your kids?").

Just until the end of today (Halloween), Amazon is running a special offer where you buy $80 of video games (including either of the two Disney Sing It bundles) and get a $40 promotional credit for your next Wii, Xbox 360 or Playstation 3 video game purchase.

London and Maddie are hoping Santa will leave a Wii under their tree, so I've been looking into games they might enjoy. Since they love to practice singing and dance moves with their Butter Bites band, I want to find singing, dancing and musical activities. I saw a clip on the Disney Channel promoting their Sing It games, so I tracked down the song lists for two of the games.

The "original" Disney Sing It features the following favorites:
Aly and AJ – Potential Breakup Song
Aly and AJ – Chemicals React
Aly and AJ – Like Whoa

Just until the end of today (Halloween), Amazon is running a special offer where you buy $80 of video games (including either of the two Disney Sing It bundles) and get a $40 promotional credit for your next Wii, Xbox 360 or Playstation 3 video game purchase. Let's get shopping!

Not for today, but once I get a better understanding of all the musical options out there (and when I get my $40 promotional code from Amazon for the games I bought today), my friend Susan and I are intrigued (for our daughters or ourselves??) with Guitar Hero World Tour. There's a "Complete Band Game" bundle that appears to come with a microphone, guitar, and drum set, so the whole Butter Bites band could play at the same time. Have any of you tried it?

The other game I've heard of that I think my little Butter Bites would enjoy is Dance Dance Revolution, but there are several options to choose from, including bundles with different songs and multiple dance mats...it starts to get confusing to make sure we have enough remotes, mats and...nunchuks...what kind of crazy word is that??!!

My loyal Roxiticus Desperate Housewives readers know that I haven't had a lot of time to spend in the blogosphere lately, but if Santa delivers the Wii and we get all the pieces hooked up properly, I will commit to explaining to all of you just what you need to get started having family fun.

Keurig Coffee K-Cups On Sale At Amazon!

Sunday update: Amazon really meant it... it was a one-day sale, and all of the prices below have gone back up. I will tell you, though, that even at $23 ($19.55 with Subscribe & Save), Amazon's price beats the one I see in the grocery stores.

From time to time, I've posted about my Keurig Single Cup Coffee Maker, and lamented that they still don't have one at my office. This week, I noticed that I'm down to my last few K-cups and coincidentally received my very first payout from Amazon Associates (see the Golden Snitch widget in my sidebar) as a gift card in the amount of $11.04 for a year of hard work. This morning I received an e-mail alert from Amazon that they're having a Friday only sale on the ones I like. Hit the link for big savings on:

• Gloria Jean's K-Cup Flavor Variety: This variety pack included several of my favorite flavors, including Butter Toffee, Cappucino, Hazelnut, French Vanilla and Swiss Chocolate Almond. 48-count package on sale today only for $19.00, and you can get them for only $16.15 (about 33 cents per cup) if you "subscribe" to receive them every 1 t0 6 months (hint hint, you can cancel your subscription at any time).
• Coffee People K-Cups Extra Bold Donut Shop Coffee: I've never tried this one but it sounds incredibly good, and with a 48-count package on sale today for only $18.00 ($15.30 or 32 cents per cup with Subscribe and Save) it's irresistable.

Those are my Friday picks, but check out the Friday Sale for yourself! And if you don't mind, please use my links in this post and my sidebar... it won't cost you anything and I can try to earn more than $11.04 from Amazon over the next year.
