Some Wal-Mart Finds and Bzz Agent!

After sitting on I-4 for about an hour and a half trying to get home, I had to go to Wal-Mart, which ironically gives me the same feeling as sitting in traffic on I-4. I did, however, find some good deals. I had two $3/1 coupons for any Fragrance Collection item by Glade, and the 2 oz. candles were $2.98 so that made them FREE!


I also had two $4/1 coupons for Glade Sense & Spray starter kits, which are regularly $8.99 and include the spray unit, a refill, and two AA batteries. Wal-Mart had them marked down to $5.00, so after my coupon, they were a buck each!


So here's your moral question of the day: Is it wrong to take all this stuff back to Wal-Mart without a receipt and get $16 bucks on a Wal-Mart gift card? Technically, the store still isn't out any money, but I think it's dishonest to purchase something on a coupon for the sole purpose of taking it back to make money on it. I also tend to think that if people continually do this type of thing, stores may tighten their coupon policies or stop taking coupons all together. What do you think?

When I got home, I found my Glade Sense & Spray BzzAgent kit waiting for me in the mail! BzzAgent is a word-of-mouth marketing website I joined (membership is free) to try new products and get free stuff. About two weeks ago they sent me an email asking if I wanted to join the "Glade Sense & Spray BzzCampaign" and receive a free starter kit. All I'm supposed to do is try it out and give an honest opinion of it to my friends and family, and to the online community at bzzagent.com. That isn't much of a commitment to get free loot! Plus, the BzzAgent kit came with four $4/1 coupons for the starter kits (which means I could potentially get $20 bucks on a Wal-Mart gift card-kidding, kidding!)

The Sense & Spray seems pretty cool. I usually use candles and plug-ins, but thought I'd give this a shot. In an effort to fulfill my obligation to BzzAgent, here are some things I notice about the product already:

1. CON: The spraying unit, though it does have a sleek design, is large and noticeable.

2. PRO: It's motion sensitive and locks for 30 minutes after each spray, so it's ideal for a bathroom.

3. PRO: I like that you can leave it and let it do it's thing, or press the button and spray it yourself.

4. PRO/CON: The refills are said to last 30 days, with about 10 sprays released per day, which is good mileage, but the refills cost about $3.49, which is high to me even if it does last 30 days.

I'll let you guys know how it goes after a few days of normal "bum traffic" in our bathroom!
