GUESS WHAT?!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I am NOT pregnant ... LOL!

Moving on .... the company I work for has an amazing website called www.redplum.com. If you haven't checked it out I suggest you do! Its an amazing place to find awesome deals on EVERYTHING. We're talking groceries to vacations. Oh and if you live in a state where they have "coupon sense" then you BETTER know about this site. I work for Valassis ... the company that puts all those awesome coupons in your mailbox and your newspaper. Well now we can put them in your inbox or you can just go online.

I have been chosen to represent Texas on the "Redplum Pit Crew". Basically its my job to not only promote the website and drive traffic there, but also let everyone know about the amazing deals and contests. Now these aren't just regular contests where you fill out a ballot and you win something. Now we have those also, but this contest I'm talking about its actually fun and you can win awesome prizes. Back in January they asked for the best ideas for Valentine's Gifts. Then it was your best idea for a superbowl party spending only $43. Anyone can enter, then they pick a certain amount of finalists and post them on the website. Then its up to the public to decide who wins.

Well its that time again. This time the contest is all about summer and cooking out. We're asking for your most delicious rub or marinade recipe. Recipes must be able to be made in under 10 minutes. Send your submissions to corporatecommunications@valassis.com by this Friday the 17th. Three winners will be announced the week of July 27th and receive a $50 Omaha Steaks gift certificate.

If you don't want to enter, that's fine. Just send the recipe to me, I'll enter it and then when I win I'll send you a PICTURE of the gift certificate ... haha!

Seriously though, check out www.redplum.com. It is an amazing website and it helps me out. Definitely enter the contest if you have a good recipe!!
