Teas’ Tea Review

Reviews, Special

Oct 092011

Teas’ Tea is an Authentically brewed and bottled Japanese green tea. It is GMO (genetically modified organism) free and is an All-Natural tea with no artificial flavorings. For the purpose of this review, I was sent two bottles of Teas’ Tea to try for myself. Teas’ Teas come in three categories: Unsweetened, Low Calorie (lightly sweetened), and Classic (sweetened). I am not a person who likes sweet drinks, so I was thrilled when I received the unsweetened tea. The tea has a light flavorful taste that is smooth and not bitter.

So why drink Green Tea? Green Tea is filled with polyphenols which are strong antioxidants. It has potent antiviral and antibacterial properties. Catechins is the strongest property in green tea and is often referred to as EGCG. Research has shown that the Catechins may help cancer and tumor prevention. Studies have show green tea helps maintain healthy cholesterol levels, improvement of brain function, an aid in healthy weight management, immune system boost and more. And since Teas’ Tea is GMO free, you are assured you are drinking the ‘real’ thing.

In fact, TEAS’ TEA was selected by Whole Foods Market Wellness Club, an initiative by Whole Foods Market to pre-select products good for your health to help WFM shoppers make sound purchasing decisions for optimum wellness.

Responsible Couponing

Special

Oct 062011

Rachel – publisher of Arcadia’s Thrifty Mom recently wrote a post on “Responsible Couponing.” With her permission, I am publishing this article for all to read, as it’s a very good post especially for those who are just getting into couponing.

Rachel’s post:

With the huge popularity of couponing these days, it is no surprise that there is a lot of talk in the coupon world about couponing ethics. There are some things that are simply good practice and other things that are outright illegal. Yes, there is an overseeing organization for coupons and they are very active. This organization is the CIC (Coupon Information Center). Although the CIC is a not-for-profit consumer organization, they are very influential among law makers. The CIC helps fight coupon misredemption and fraud. I have listed the top 5 guidelines to keep you ethical and legal when using coupons.

1. NEVER copy a coupon – I think that speaks for itself. It is illegal to copy a coupon even if it doesn’t state it on the coupon. There are safety features on most coupons, much like a check, that will indicate to the manufacturer that it has been copied.

2. Stock up don’t stockpile – Having 10 years’ worth of toilet paper is not going to save you during the apocalypse. There is no reason to stockpile such things.If you happen to find great freebies, stock up enough for 3-6 months,depending on the size of your family. If you feel the need to get more free stuff, donate it. The weather is turning cool and homeless shelters will be overflowing with needy people soon!

3. Do not clear the shelves – There is no need for any family to have 100 bottles of mustard! If you find a great deal on something, take what you can reasonably use in the next 3 months and leave some for the next bargain hunter! This, of course, does not apply to those stores that only carry 2-4 items of any given product; in that case, you have no choice but to “ clear the shelf”.

4. Be kind to your cashier – Many times cashiers are not familiar with coupons since most of the population does not use them. Even among coupon users, the vast majority do not use more than 5 coupons in a single transaction. Be kind and patient with the cashier, they are only doing their job. A great way to help you stand your ground is that store’s coupon policy and have it on-hand.

5. Be kind to others in line – I always tell the people who get in line behind me that I am using coupons/price matching. Most people will either change lanes or, at least, be more patient about waiting for a lengthy transaction.
