GivingAssitant.org Site Review

   

A Site Where You Can Shop, Share and Earn Cash Back

I came across this site GivingAssistant.org while I was browsing to my blogroll feed. Giving Assistant offers cash back every time you purchase through their site. Thinking that this site only gives back to customers? No, every purchase made they donate one meal to Feeding America. I am deeply touched by what GivingAssistant.org offers, giving back to the community is a selfless act nowadays people or company can do. 

I have several accounts to online shopping sites and most of them do really offer cash back or an incentive type of earning. Some also create an affiliate type of program which I never tried before. In GivingAssistant, you shop while giving back to the community plus one amazing part is it is also a source of a good earn money online site.

Here is a simple instruction on how to earn money here. First, sign up for Giving Assistant  Everyone you refer gets $5 cash for signing up. Once they earn cash back you get $5.There is no limit to the amount of cash you can earn through referrals.

Successful transactions and cashback reviews of Giving Assistant can be viewed here.

This coming Mother's Day I am eyeing some pieces of Forever21 accessories which I know my sister-in-law and my Mom would really like to have. And, coupons are available from Free Shipping up to 30% OFF on sale items plus a 5% cash back rate. This will come handy with your next purchase. 

After Mother's Day come next to a celebration for the man in our lives our fathers. My father is not that hard to find when it comes to presents. A new pair of New Balance shoes which he loves the brand so much. I found this New Balance athletic shoes which offer a 20% OFF the price and a free ground shipping. And, you know what? It offers a 3.5% before and now it doubled up to get the whopping 7% cash back! 

I will also include a backup plan with my purchase, I good 50% OFF on Michael.com apparel crafts which he can use this summer when he works in his favorite place in the house, the garage. 
With the half, the price off I can also get a shop cash back of 4% in my account!
I will make my parents happy and also the kids that will benefit with the FREE MEAL for every purchase I will make through this AMAZING site. 
A win-win situation!

I can't wait to earn money here to help out my charities here in the Philippines especially this coming school year where school kids of less fortunate cannot afford to buy the basic necessities such as footwear and clothing. In the past years, I was able to join to some of the community services that my friends organized. 

We were able to buy 1,700 meters of reinforced water hoses that were connected to the main source kilometers apart from Sitio Timak, were children and elders need to walk to get a potable water they need for drinking and cooking. Alongside, we also gave the children new pair of slippers to protect their feet while walking through the steep and rugged terrain of the mountainside. They were able to use also those slippers to go to school.







After that year, we also visited an underprivileged Aeta community of Bagong Silang, San Isidro Zambales which composed of elders, mothers and young kids. In this community, the simplest human necessity lacks, from water, food, and shelter. Kids depend on rainwater to sustain thirst and hunger. 

As a mother, I always feel sad by the situation where kids cannot have food to eat, a decent and comfortable shelter for them to go to. This goes all over the world were deprived kids go hungry- a worldwide problem. Thanks for Giving Assistant for coming up with this program to offer food for the hungry. We need to support this kind of advocate where little things can go BIG to someone who is in need.

Healthy Goodness Food Prize from Elle & Vire Philippines, Thank you!

Valentines Day prize from Elle & Vire Philippines Facebook page worth P1,500 was delivered to us yesterday. The winner announcement was made last February 12 and this goodies were personally delivered by their delivery truck at the address we mentioned from the private message.

Out of the many photo entries who submitted, Dongski's entry was chosen. Since he cannot personally claim the prize in Manila we coordinated for the prize for shipment or delivery.

From the bag we got yesterday, contents are:

• 5-cups Elle & Vire Myrtille Blueberry yogurt
• 5-cups Elle & Vire Ananas Pineapple yogurt
• 5-cups Elle & Vire Fraise Strawberry yogurt
• 5-cups Elle & Vire Plain Sweet yogurt
• 3-sachet Elle & Vire Yag Go! Milk drink
• 3-cups Elle & Vire Creme Dessert Caramel pudding
• 3-cups Elle & Vire Creme Dessert Chocolate pudding
• 1-liter Elle & Vire Semi-Skimmed Organic Milk
• 1-liter Elle & Vire Whole Milk

I love winning food items specially the healthy ones, definitely my kids will enjoy cup after cup. 

Most of the items in this brand will be our first time to taste and this excites us. 

Let's go through the items one by one. A liter of Elle & Vire semi-skimmed milk and yep it's organic. I just purchased a couple of liters of Arla all natural low fat milk last weekend which I am enjoying. I posted an Instagram photo of the Arla brand milk here , used it as the cream for the mango smoothie which me and my daughter craved for days. It was smooth and has a nice taste.

Also, another liter of whole milk comes with the prize. Are you like me who always include milk in the grocery list? Milk is one of my grocery food essentials, I keep it a point that I have a liter in my shopping cart. 

Let's now check the yogurt flavors from the prize.

Elle & Vire Fruit yogurt Ananas Pineapple, this is the first time I heard of the word "ananas" I thought it was a combination of bananas and pineapple haha! Googled it and saw this 

"The word Ananas is derived from the Guarani name for the pineapple, via Portuguese. In most languages, pineapple is called "ananas"."

Elle & Vire Myrtille Blueberry, my son had this for breakfast this morning it has almost the exact taste from the other brand of yogurt we used to buy. It's creamy and tangy at the same time, he said.

Elle & Vire Fraise Strawberry, my daughter brought a cup for her school snack and will ask her later for the taste.

Elle & Vire Le Nature Sucre' plain sweet 

Elle & Vire Creme Dessert  Chocolate, consumed the three cups last night after dinner as our dessert.

I like the creamy and chocolatey taste, it was just right not too sweet or bitter. I might grab cups of this on my next grocery shopping. 

Elle & Vire Creme Dessert caramel, what I like about this flavor is that it's creamy and smooth with the hint of the caramel sweetness. 

Elle & Vire Yag Go! milky drink 150ml single sip pouch, my daughter also brought one for her school snack this morning. I think and hope she will like this too. 

I was hoping for Elle & Vire butter  for bread spread to be included in the prize bag but unluckily it was not, I guess the reason of transporting the product was much delicate unlike the plastic bottles and cup containers of the yogurt. Nevertheless, everything is good! 

Thank you Elle & Vire for choosing Dongski's entry and sending us nutritious goodies my kids and family to enjoy.

Greenwich Very Cheesy Macaroni Prize was a Letdown! #VeryCheesyMacaroni

Update:

2:13 pm- February 12, 2016

A few minutes ago, I received a call from the store manager of Greenwich Pizza-SM Olongapo where I received the prize. Just last night they received the report which I placed on Greenwich Pizza Facebook page. Mr. Jovs apologized for what happened and assured that they will investigate on what happened and assure that the standards will be met when it comes to their food items. He also thanked me for the feedback... making them aware of the incident.

He also offered a half pan of the macaroni and a pizza to compensate on what happened. I requested for it to be delivered at my parents house...for it was really meant for them. 

Thank you Mr. Jovs of Greenwich Pizza, SM Olongapo and will definitely visit the store for our next pizza meal :)
