Looking to get a cellphone ? Check out TracFone

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of TracFone for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

TracFone offers the least expensive way to own and use a cell phone in America.  With  no contracts, no credit checks, no activation charges or cancellation fees , why wouldn't you get a cell phone.    No surprises!  That's what my Mom loves about her TracFone.  She's had a tracfone for almost three years.  She gets coverage just about everywhere.  She uses her phone around home and on her travels to my sister's house which is about a fifteen hour drive.  TracFone offers great nationwide coverage and excellent reception and connectivity.  

Get into Everywhereness

You can get brand name phones from leading manufacturers like Motorola, Kyocera, LG, Nokia and Samsung.  You can choose from simple "Candy Bar" phones, to  fancier Bluetooth®-enabled "Smart" phones.

You can pay as you go online or with cards available at many retailers.  My Mom usually purchases a one year service card that gives you more.  You can receive double minutes for your  TracFone and 800 minutes for $119.00.  

 

 TracFone is a great option for parents to get their children.  This is a great way to stay in contact when they are in school sports, this way you will know what time they need to be picked up after a sports game.  Especially great during the summer to stay in contact while they are off camping with friends, this way you will be able to talk with your kids and not have a huge phone bill.  Also, great for keeping in touch with the older ones too.

T.G.I. Friday's Sizzling Steak Fajitas (Frozen Entree for One) Review

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of T.G.I. FRiDAY'S for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

My husband had the opportunity to try the new T.G.I.Friday's Sizzling Steak Fajitas and loved them.  These are sold in the freezer section and are listed as a Frozen Entree for One.  I think that the one means:  one grown man's meal!  My husband ate this one meal for lunch and was very satisfied.  If he hadn't have made this for himself, then I think I could have tricked him into thinking that it took me a while to prepare in the kitchen.  That's because it did not taste like a frozen dinner.  It was fresh and great tasting.  Very easy to make!  Just heat it in the microwave and you've got a great dinner or lunch.  The Sizzling Steak was tender and juicy and the peppers and onions added a great flavor.  All this wrapped in a flour  tortilla and paired with a side of cheesy rice made a great meal.  My husband even let me try the steak and I was surprised at how juicy and flavorful it was.

 We can't wait to try more of these T.G.I. FRiDAY’S “Entrées for One”.   There are so many great choices, I know my husband wants to try the Chicken and Broccoli Alfredo next.  I think that the kids would really like these too and it's so easy to have in the freezer to cook and eat in your own home, rather than actually going out to a restaurant.   

Visit  T.G.I.Friday's Freezer facebook page and enter the  Fun Freezer contest and you could win some cool prizes.
