Author’s note: I am in no way being compensated for writing this review and everything in it is my own personal opinion.
I’ve talked about shopping and rebate apps I use before, but recently I’ve discovered a new app called Shopkick. Shopkick’s primary use seems to be earning “kicks” by walking into stores, scanning items on that store’s list, and purchasing items. When you get enough kicks, you can roll them out into a gift card or items, or even use them to donate to charities like Feeding America or the American Red Cross.
Using Shopkick is almost like a scavenger hunt: each store gives you a list of items to scan each week, and you get kicks for the ones you scan, and each item has a different amount of kicks you can earn. It’s fun, and it costs you nothing. You only need 500 kicks to earn a $2 gift card to Walmart of Target, and that doesn’t take very long at all, especially if you’re good at finding the items to scan.
When you’re ready to cash in your kicks, you get e-mailed a digital gift card. I haven’t tried this yet, but I’ll update you when I do!
(NOTE: There have been some bad reviews on this app saying that if you complain to their “customer service” department they will block you from using the app and take your kicks. Since this app is free and you don’t have to purchase anything to get gift cards, I think I’ll continue to use it and see what happens.)
Do you use Shopkick? Any tips/tricks I should know?
And if you recall, not long ago 
The Hubs and I have had and loved Brownie Brittle before (
I ate these two days ago and as I’m writing this my mouth is watering. I prefer dark chocolate, and the dark chocolate square was rich and dark without being bitter. It was similar in flavor to my favorite eating chocolate, Ghirardelli 60%. Nuanced and coated the tongue perfectly. I’m not a fan of milk chocolate, but the texture of this milk chocolate square was divine. Velvety and smooooth!
Okay, this is my first foray into the pop culture phenomenon that is Biscoff. I first heard about Biscoff when someone said the words “cookie butter”. (Yes, this is apparently the new Nutella, which was the new peanut butter.) But I get it. Biscoff cookies are delicious, and similar to a cinnamon graham cracker flavor. Would taste delicious with a cup of coffee or tea.
Again, not a huge fan of milk chocolate, but the raspberry flavor in this was good. Didn’t blow my mind, but I wouldn’t turn one down if someone handed it to me!
Okay, these taste like your average every day graham cracker, and I like graham crackers. But what makes these great is the shape. Imagine dipping these in Nutella or peanut butter?! Yum!
I love sweet potato chips, and these were good ones. Great texture, great flavor, not greasy at all. Yum!
I’m currently sipping the Forever Nuts flavor, and it’s really delicious! It’s perfect for the transition from fall to winter, with hints of cinnamon, almond and maybe even vanilla caressing my nose like a warm fire. There’s a creaminess to it that I really love, and I am NOT a fan of herbal teas! Way to go, DavidsTea!
The Hubs ate these, and says they were very tasty sesame breadsticks. He really likes sesame AND bread, so I’m not sad I missed them.
I haven’t tried this yet, because I don’t add sugar to my tea, but you can’t go wrong with turbinado sugar!
