Tropicana Juicy Rewards

Tropicana has a new rewards program out. You can collect the points by buying any of the Tropicana participating products. Since we drink so much Tropicana in this house I really hope that we can earn some great stuff through the points.

Tropicana Juicy Rewards put together a team of bloggers called the Juicy Insiders and I am happy to represent The Coupon Cupboard on this team. Over the next few months I will be encouraging you to collect as many points as you can and share what you are redeeming them for.

From a quick look through the rewards points it looks like there are a lot of coupons for your local venues. In the Denver area there are discounts available for bowling, spas, sports events, and museums.

I will be redeeming points shortly so check back to see what I get soon. Until then, go get signed up. I even have a free code for you!

• Visit Tropicana’s Juicy Reward Site
• Click “Register” to create a new account
• Click “Enter Codes” in the top right hand corner
• Enter code MOTHE (in one box) and RHOOD (in the other box) (thanks Mommy Snacks for that great intro)

I wrote this review while participating in the Tropicana Juicy Insiders Ambassador program by Mom Central on behalf of Tropicana. I received 12 free Juicy Rewards points and a $50 Visa gift card to use in redemption of the points and to facilitate my review

Waterpik Kept Me From Killing My Son

OK, well, I am probably being a bit dramatic but lets face it~braces are EXPENSIVE! Nothing drives me more insane than him not taking care of them. He is 13, he really doesn’t care if he drives me crazy, in fact, I think he rather enjoys it.

I was commiserating with other mothers of brace clad children and I was saying that I should get him a Waterpik. I had one when I was wearing braces (hey, I am not that old people) and I remember it working really well. Of course, I was a girl and I actually cared if I had thing stuck in them but alas…

I was so happy when Waterpik contacted me and asked if I wanted to review one. Strange how I was just talking about it!

He thought the whole concept was “weird” when we first unpacked the Ultra Dental Water Jet it but now he is hooked on it. According to him it is really easy to use and it gets all the “crud” out of the back teeth better than flossing, lol. It has cool attachments that let him brush or ‘floss’.

I don’t care how he describes it as long as he keeps using it! If you have kids in braces I think this is a must have. Here is a $5 off coupon for Waterpik!
