Saving money on floss!!

Disney Dreamers and Thrifty Savers, I was given a great opportunity from to try the Bryton Floss Pick. It is made of flexible stainless steel and a plastic holder. They come in really cute colors, are easy to store, and easy to keep in a wallet or purse on the go. They are the first String FREE, Reusable and Portable Dental Floss for people on-the-go or those who are unable to floss (or hate flossing). They are recommended for people wearing braces or Invisalign. And the Credit card size carry-pouch is included.And just to make them that much better, they are 100% made in the USA!!

My husband and I LOVED the Bryton floss picks. We weren't hunting for floss because we knew where it was. And talk about handy for out to eat? The floss is right there with you in your credit card holder! It actually made it a lot more fun to floss, which kept us doing it! What a great habit to have!

Keep your eyes here for more reviews, giveaways, and ways to save you money!!! I was provided with Bryton Flosspicks, but the reviews and thoughts and opinions are my own.

To complain or not to complain, that is the question...

Some people wonder if it's worth it to complain about things that go wrong. In a restaurant, you have poor service, or poor food, or something isn't clean. Is it worth it to complain? I say yes.

In the past week I have had three negative experiences. Each time I complained, but I complained the right way. The outcome? GREAT!

I had a meal at Chili's in a local town. The food was good, but I couldn't finish it, so I took it home. When I started eating the salad at home I found a large piece of hard plastic in it. I threw the salad out, and sent an email to the corporate office. The next day the manager of the Chili's called me. She was super apologetic, and explained that she would be retraining her staff. She also asked if I would allow her to send me $20 for my next visit. Worth it? Yes.

But here's the thing - I wasn't rude, I didn't yell, I didn't use foul language. I just stated the facts. I found plastic in my salad. I was grossed out. That's all they needed to hear.

Here's another recent example. I was eating some wheat bread and I noticed it tasted STRONGLY of rye. I tried eating several pieces, all tasting of rye. I don't like rye bread, so I called the company. They apologized and sent me $15 in coupons to purchase new bread. Worth complaining? Definitely!

This is a unique example that hasn't ever happened to me before. Around Easter, I got 2 bags of Peanut Butter Eggs for my daughter that were smashed. I don't mean they were slightly misshapen, I mean they were totally smooshed. I wrote to Hershey and told them about it. They sent me $2. I was kind of upset. On one hand, they offered me something, but on the other they had said they would totally replace the 2 bags, and here I was with $2 which wouldn't even buy one bag. So, I wrote again, as polite as the first time but I explained that I paid $6 for the 2 bags on sale and I expected they would send me similar compensation. So they did. They sent me 2 more coupons for $3 off. So instead of $2, I now had $8 to replace the smashed treats, and the coupons are good until October! (Halloween candy, anyone?)

My point is this, when you are not satisfied, and it's reasonable to be dissatisfied, there is value in saying something. The company learns, they keep you as a valued customer, and you are restored to the same or better state most of the time than you started!!

When we are thankful, I think it's important to also tell the place of business. We always call the manager over when we have stellar service. It frightens the server, and surprises the managers. Why? Take a look at the picture, gratitude is rarely expressed. Try it next time you have great service, you'll make somebody's day!

Dazed and Confused....and tired!!

This is my Tinkerbell. She needs to get to the Magic Kingdom! Seriously...Trying to find the best deal on Disney tickets is challenging at best. Does anyone have any advice out there?

Congratulations!!

Congratulations to Amanda! Enjoy your bag!

And thank you to Pixie Vacations for sponsoring such a fun event! Remember that if you are going to Disney World, Disneyland or on a Disney Cruise they will make you a bag and will send it with their vacation documents along with some other goodies. They do this for Disney vacation packages that are $2,000+. Their prices are the same or less than booking with Disney directly, plus you get itinerary planning and they will make your dining reservations, and fun pixie dust gifts.

Disney Dreaming,
