Woolite Complete Review

Tweet
I joined smiley360 sometime last year. It's been a great site for me, letting me try a few full size products (Redbox Movie Rental, Zatarain's Frozen Meal, and Arm&Hammer Simply Saline Neti Pot). Well, in February I joined the Woolite Complete mission...we had to share the coupon and information about Woolite Complete..and if we met the criteria we could get a whole bottle in the mail free!

I met that and a full size bottle of Woolite Complete came my way!  And you can get a $2 off 50oz container here on their Facebook page. That is the smallest size, other sizes are 75, 115, and 133 oz.

Woolite Complete is for all your clothes, not just your delicates! They want you to know this by their new name - COMPLETE! It doesn't contain harsh ingredients, so you won't stretch, shrink, or fade your clothes. You can keep all your clothes looking like new!

Of course, I had to try out this product...as we all have known Woolite for years to only be used on super delicates. And, then out came Woolite for darks...and now....Woolite Complete for ALL clothes and colors. *There is also a Woolite EXTRA Color Care.* I washed about 3 loads of laundry using it - towels, blacks/grays, and beiges (yes I was by color). All came out clean...and none were ruined! Even after washing one set after my boyfriend washed some rags in there (and said oooh I wouldn't have washed darks after those), yep nothing ruined! I haven't used repeatedly so I can't say if they will keep my clothes looking new longer wash after wash, but I can say they all come out clean!

 My only thing is...it's too subtle of a scent...I love my clothes smelling fresh. Being that I hang dry a lot of my tops, if it doesn't get the fresh clean scent in the wash, it won't get it. So, I do have to add extra something if I plan to keep using Woolite Complete.

My Redbox Experiences

Tweet

Up until this month, I had used only Blockbuster Express and had success with that. Since, I am a Smiley360 member (If you'd like to join Smiley360, join via my link!), I was given a mission for a free Redbox rental and to share my opinions of it. Awesome! I was excited and since I got this right before the holidays, I waited until January to utilize my freebie.

I thought I was following the directions to get my movie for free, per the mission...but...I must not have been. Here's how it went: I went online and created an account. I found my local Redboxes and then picked out a movie. It said I had to rent online and then enter the code to get free...well...no place to enter a code. So, we went to the box to pick it up...and no place to enter a code when just picking up a movie. I was not happy, but we had a movie to watch for cheap...home we went. I was annoyed, but since I still had my code, figured I'd give it another try. 

 

Attempt two..HA! Well, since I had made my first movie purchase online, Redbox gave me a free code for my next online rental reservation. Of course, I used that...haha. Everything went fine online, and used the code...ta da free. We rode over to the box...and wouldn't you know the box was broken! Not a single touch screen button worked on it...I slide my card...and nothing. No movie for me. I was pissed this time. I mean two times nothing is going right with my Redbox movie renting experience....when I got home I immediately went online and wrote Redbox. Then I went to their Facebook page and wrote a note there...only to see others were having a similar issue as mine (albeit different states and not really related, but wow). Amazingly, there was a wonderful person from Redbox answering people's posts and was really courteous and apologetic and helpful. Seriously, someone was on there after 10pm at night...helping us...I can only say this impressed me and brought me out of my bad mood. A couple days later an email response appeared with an apology, said they were going ot look into the box, and gave me 2 free movie codes that do not expire for 45 days. 

Redbox's customer service made things right and really impressed me. So, with my movie codes...I went to rent again...this time with the knowledge that codes must be entered at the box at the time of rental. CHECK! 

Third attempt was this Friday night past...we picked out a movie online, but did not rent it. Then we headed to the box for the rental experience. The box worked...the movie we wanted was there, and my original Smiley360 code was finally used. Ta da...success! I was a happy camper that still has 2 movie codes to use! Free movies are wonderful. Of course, my Redbox experience can't go without some sort of error...this time it was my fault completely...we forgot to return it and I paid for a night...haha! To make myself feel better, I let Pete's brother and his girlfriend see it before returning the movie. 

So...the bottom line is...for some reason Redbox movie rentals are not going so smoothly for me...but they have a great selection of movies, they are convenient, and their customer service ROCKS! Redbox...you've gained a customer that will proudly tell my COMEDY OF ERRORS that got me to enjoy you! 

All opinions and experiences are my own...and I only received free movie rentals and no other compensation.

Zatarain's Frozen Entree Review (Smiley360)

Hello! I'm a Smiley360 member!I joined sometime in July and they selected me to join the Zatarain's Frozen meal try new things campaign!

Sometime while I was on vacation, in the mail came a card on how to share Zatarain's and earn smiles and a free product coupon!

So, last week when we went to the grocery store, I brought my free product coupon and looked for these...to my surprise we found 4 or 5 flavors and they were on sale buy 1 get 1 free! So, my boyfriend picked out two flavors and I picked out two flavors (this ended up as 4 different flavors).  In the end due to the way the store actually does buy 1 get 1's it's more like I bought 1 and a half - and got 2 and a half free. Ohh ya!

This week for lunch, on different days, I tried the two I chose. Dirty Rice with Beef & Pork, and Jambalaya with Sausage.

The Jambalaya I ate mid-week. It smelled really good...and took a minute longer to cook than stated. At first it was rather tasty...but as I kept eating it, I was not quite as happy with it. I think it was because of the sausage they use, it was making my mouth feel really greasy and I did not like that. So in the end, this one was a 3 star frozen meal.

Today for lunch, I had the Dirty Rice w/ Beef&Pork, I have to say overall this was a much more enjoyable frozen meal. I liked it better, but I am not sure I'll be switching from the boxed Zatarain's to the frozen meals any time soon. I love their boxed items and have to say they taste so much better.

I do look forward to trying more products with Smiley360 and was greatly impressed with how quickly I was invited to join a free product campaign (some other sites, make you wait until you are a certain level). I did have 2 other opportunities, but I was not the right fit, and it's been a while...so here's hoping another comes my way soon!

If you'd like a coupon to try Zatarain's Frozen Meals yourself, click here! They can be found in the freezer section of your grocery store, if I could find it here, I bet you can find it where you are!

And here's a complete list of Zatarain's Frozen Meal options! By the looks of it, we sure do not have the selection that could be available at your local store!
