SURPRISE! I’m Hosting A Second April Giveaway, and It Starts Right Now!

Yeah!  Another giveaway for my wonderful readers!  Emergency Essentials has kindly agreed to sponsor this giveaway.  What exactly am I giving away?  A HUGE #10 can of Freeze Dried Beef Brisket!  Take a look…

 

What a great prize, huh?

What a great prize, huh?  Freeze dried foods last 20+ years when stored at the proper temperature (no hot garage storage if you want this to keep 20 years).  This is a great way to include meat in your long term storage.  You can also use this when you go camping or backpacking.  As it is a dry food, it’s a lot lighter to carry.

 

It’s difficult to tell how large things are when viewing pictures, so I took another picture, this one with a 16 oz can of mandarin oranges (sorry, I’m not giving the oranges away), so you can see how large the can is.

 

Look at how big that #10 can is!

April Giveaway! Easy, Free, Daily Entry!

One week down and one week to go. Don’t miss out!

My Foray Into Food Storage

Don’t you LOVE free stuff?  I do!   Here’s a chance for you to get some awesome free food.  You can store it long term (about 25 years unopened in a cool room), or open it and try it out.  Wonder what food storage tastes like?  This is a great way to see if freeze dried foods are for you.

This month's FABULOUS prize! This month’s FABULOUS prize!

Let me start by telling you a little bit about our sponsor, Jennette Albee, a Thrive consultant.  She is graciously sponsoring this giveaway.  (I’m not getting paid, nor am I getting anything other than the items I’m giving away).  Jennette is an awesome lady!  I consider her a close, personal friend.  She sells Thrive, because she wants to help others who feel the way she did, unsure how and where to start building food storage.  Here’s a little bit about her and why she sells…

What’s My Favorite Thrive Product?

I asked you which Thrive product you want to try as part of my April giveaway (enter here), and I thought you might want to know which is mine.  I haven’t tried everything in their line, but what I have tried has been wonderful.  Second-to-noneand delicious!  It’s hard to pick one favorite item, because their products are so wonderful.  I love their freeze dried chicken and their powdered eggs, but if I had to pick one favorite, it would be their macaroons from their dessert line (see it here).

 

Their macaroon mix is so easy to make and so YUMMY!  It’s a just add water mix, and it turns out perfectly every time.  What I love the most about the Thrive line is that they stand behind their products 100%!  If something doesn’t meet your expectations, they make it right.  Of course, nothing I’ve had from Thrive has ever failed to meet my expectations, but it is good to know that they treat their customers well.

Some people think of purchasing food storage as a one time event.  They buy it, then they never think of it again.  I like my food storage to contain foods I’ll actually eat.  These macaroons are so delicious that I want to eat them all the time (and I’m not a dessert person)!

 

Please take a moment to visit my sponsor’s page and take a look around, then enter my April giveaway here.  Our prize is a pantry size can of freeze dried sausage and a pantry size can of freeze dried cheddar cheese.  These are two customer favorites and two top sellers.
