* Click here to view the name(s) of the winner(s)*

I'm a hard core H-E-B loyal grocery shopper and have no qualms in admitting that. I'm sure many of you will join forces with me in agreeing that the prices and quality of products make the decision to grocery shop there so much easier, right?

Well did you know that H-E-B also carries a number of great beauty and hair care products in their Beauty section? You will be surprised to find that this can be your one stop Beauty stop considering they carry the national brands you want, plus the salon and department brands you love, at very affordable prices.

I'm excited to share with you a really neat product for all you "Need Help With My Hair" Mommies....The HAI Hot Tunes MP3 Styling Iron!


This Flat Iron has 1 inch nano ceramic plates infused with tourmaline that help straighten your hair without damaging it and leaving frazzled ends after consistent use. You can choose how hot you want the iron to be by regulating the temperature dial between 170 degrees to 400 degrees.


"Phssst another styling iron", you shrug....but guess what?
This is a little more than just another flat iron!
The HAI Hot Tunes MP3 Styling Iron entertains you while you straighten your hair, thanks to the embedded MP3 player that holds upto 256 MB memory worth of music.


All you need to do is plug in the USB cord, load your favorite tunes into the player, heat the iron and sing along to the tunes as you style and straighten those curls or waves!

Totally Rad!

Oh and that's not all!....
You don't have to run helter skelter looking around for a store that carries this neat flat iron. Just stop at your local H-E-B store, walk on over to the Beauty section and walk out several minutes later with your HAI Hot Tunes MP3 Styling Iron!

CLOSED: More Fun at H-E-B with the new H-E-Buddy Game (+Giveaway)

* Click here to view the name(s) of the winner(s)*

Bunny girl has loved shopping at H-E-B ever since she was introduced to the H-E-Buddy game placed behind the checkout counters. As a toddler, Hubby would help her maneuver the crane to pick up high scoring plastic balls and she'd watch with excitement as the plastic balls would drop into the collection counter for her to pick. The only part of the game we didn't enjoy was watching our then 3 year old save a huge pile of plastic balls in her toy box. Eventually, though, I'd manage to get ride of all the balls but we always thought it was one colossal plastic waste. Thankfully H-E-B has realized that too and from early this month onwards I'm sure you've seen these beauties in your stores.....

These are the new Buddy Buck Accepters and just in case you aren't sure how they work, here's the 1-2-3....

Step 1: Place your Buddy Buck in the Buddy Buck Accepter (Buck received from the H-E-B cashier when paying).

Step 2: Wheel will begin to spin. Player can stop wheel by using red button. The new design makes it easier for kids of all ages to play.

Step 3: Take your winning points (a sticker)! Kids collect stickers in their scorecard and redeem them for prizes. Also, the Buddy now talks and kids will hear a message from Buddy each time they win a sticker for playing.

Not only is this faster but it's more dependable and easy to play in only 20 seconds or less!
Plus the game is also more eco friendly!
Did you know that by getting rid of the plastic bubbles the old prizes came in, H-E-B is able to eliminate 22.3 million plastic bubbles. That's 224,556 pounds of plastic which equals to the weight of 37 Shamus!
WOW!!
Now that's a another feather in the 'Here-Everything's-Better' H-E-B hat!


Win it:

One reader will have the opportunity to win a complimentary H-E-Buddy prize pack and a sample of H-E-Buddy’s New Whole Sun Crackers


Info on H-E-Buddy's Whole Sun Crackers - They're a fun and tasty treat for kids, and come in three kid-approved flavors: Strawberry, Mixed Berries and Cranberry Apple. These are made with real fruit pieces and contain 12g of whole grain per serving – whole grains and fruit and whole flavor 'n' whole fun!


Here's how you can win it:

1. Mandatory entry (without this, all other entries will be disqualified)-

Tell me which flavor of H-E-Buddy's Whole Sun Crackers you think your little muncher would enjoy.
