Tropicana's Pefect Pick Sweepstakes & Florida Memories #TropFloridaOJ

Being from the Midwest there are many states I have traveled to numerous times Nebraska, Minnesota, Missouri, Illinois and Florida.  Yes, Florida is one of my most visited states.  Primarily because it is home to my favorite vacation destination.    I grew up taking annual family vacations and that included trips to Disney World.   On one special Disney vacation my parents booked a concierge room for us.  Benefits of a concierge room include turn down service every night with chocolates in seashells and access to a concierge lounge for snacks and drinks.  My favorite part of the experience was being able to snack on macadamia nuts and drink all of the fresh orange juice that I wanted. I will never forget it. 

My husband and I have been to Disney World five times together and we've been very fortunate to be able to take our kids to Disney several times too.  There are things I always look forward to when planning a Florida vacation:  spending time at the pool, the Tower of Terror plummet, meeting Mickey Mouse, Main Street Bakery Cinnamon Rolls and fresh Florida orange juice at breakfast.    Oh, how I love the breakfast buffets and the bottomless glasses of OJ!   Just thinking about it makes me wish I could start planning another Disney vacation soon, but sadly it's not in our future plans.  At least I will always have the memories!


You have a chance at creating your own Florida memories when you enter the Tropicana Perfect Pick Sweepstakes.  Ninety-nine people will  win a year supply of Tropicana orange juice!  The grand prize winner will receive a trip to Sarasota, Florida to visit an orange grove.   It is one of the groves that Tropicana uses in 22 different Florida counties.  Florida was the first state to grow oranges and that was almost 150 years before anyone else!  You may know that Tropicana Pure Premium is 100% Pure Florida Orange Juice, but did you know that Tropicana is the largest buyer of Florida fruit?  It purchases 11.6 billion oranges from Florida every year!   Many growers there sample oranges by cutting them into a cup shape, allowing for drinking juice directly from the fruit.  That is something I've never done, but if I won this trip you can bet I would try it!


Be sure to visit Tropicana on Facebook to learn more and enter the sweepstakes!



What do you look forward to most when planning a Florida or Disney vacation?  I'd love to read your comments!

What I Earned in 2012 ~ Week 13


Last year I made over $1300 just by doing things like clicking on emails, taking surveys and earning Swag Bucks. Every week I earned a little from different sources, but over the course of a year it really added up. It put a dent in our Christmas budget and also allowed me to purchase a big ticket item for myself without the guilt! When you get an extra $5 or $10 here and there it can also just help pay for some of the fun stuff.

I'm tracking my earnings again this year. I like seeing what I've made and hopefully it will show you some different ways that you can be earning a little extra too. It all adds up!

Here's what I earned this week:

$10.00 Amazon e-gift card from Swag Bucks ($90 this year so far!)
$5.00 PayPal deposit from Superpoints ($35 this year so far)
$25.00 Amazon e-gift cards from Hallmark Mom's Panel


Total for the year: $ 277.76

Did you earn any extra "fun money" this week? How did you do it?

Earn Free Gift Cards with Swag Bucks


Swagbucks is a search engine that rewards you with swagbucks for using it to do your normal day to day searches on the internet. You'll randomly be awarded swagbucks while searching. You can then redeem these swagbucks for rewards like Amazon and Starbucks gift cards.

Every Friday is Mega Swag Bucks Day which means better odds of winning our BIG Swag Bucks! Search normally through your toolbar or the Swag Bucks site and with a little luck, you'll be winning large bills starting at 20 Swag Bucks and up. There is no guarantee that you'll win high value Swag Bucks, but I have noticed I tend go get 11 and 12 SB for searches on Fridays more than other days.

If you are new to Swag Bucks you can sign up now. You will get 30 swagbucks just for signing up and it only takes 450 for a $5 Amazon gift card! Plus right now when you enter code MARCHSWAG when signing up you'll get an additional 70 swagbucks! This is the easiest way to earn in my opinion! All these swagbucks add up!
