Update 2/28/11: And the winner is…. 444! Congratulations, girl.

Behold my grocery receipt. I ventured out to buy the greedy family some shrimp, but ended up leaving the store with a bunch of other crap I talked myself into needing (err, like cake mix and Pop Tarts).

I spent $54.85 when I only really meant to get a bag of frozen shrimps.

Doesn’t this happen to us all?

So how about this… I wanna pay for the stuff that YOU talk yourself into needing when all you meant was to buy one or two things.

One (1) winner will gets to grab the money outta my pocket: $54.85 deposited into their Paypal account on Tuesday, March 1st to put towards their greedy grocery expenses.

Will it be you?

Just leave a comment and tell me which of MY favorite grocery store item best suits your fancy:

• Freeze dried antelope oats.
• Processed cow giblets in the bulk box.
• Deep velvet moose cakes (fresh from the bakery department).
• Silky orangutan milk, 1/2 gallon carton.
• All of the above…. or something else not on the list?

Entries from all over the world will be accepted until Sunday, Feb. 27th.

Ready? Set. Grocery shop!

Update 1/23/11: The winners have been chosen! Congrates to grand prize winners, Kelly O-ski, and Shakeology winners JulieMCG, Jari and Dragonmamma. Git it, girls!

The Mob is here, yo! So I’ll skip the mumbo jumbo and get straight to the point. But don’t get real nervous. The Mob isn’t pushing diets. They’re pushing PRIZES, baby! And these prizes are gonna help you reach your fitness goals, so let’s get to it!

Diet Mob Prize Pack: ONE (1) greedy winner will receive these FOUR awesome prizes. Yep, ALL FOUR PRIZES!!!

EatSmart Digital Bathroom Scale: Ohh, how I do NOT like to weigh. I didn’t weigh for close to a year because I was obsessed, weighing in 3 or more times a day (say what!?). Then the EatSmart people got smart and sent me a scale. I like it, people. It has a sharp LCD display and it’s lightweight – way lighter than my expense-azz Tanita scale which I am totally not using anymore. But what about weighing in every 5 seconds like I used to? Nope. I don’t do that anymore. For the first time in all my 9-lives (because I am part feline?), I have a healthy relationship with the scale. I’m loving my EatSmart and YOU could win this thing!

Clean Eating Magazine: It’s a 1-year subscription, people (8 issues). Clean Eating Magazine is da bomb. ‘Nuff said.

Simply Fit Chocolate Chip Cookies: Huh? How can I talk clean eating and cookies in the same breath? Well when you consider that this $13 box of cookies (yep, $8 + 5 shipping) is a powerhouse treat that includes flax, oats, quinoa, barley, amaranth, spelt, sesame and more, of course it’s on my eating list! I buy these cookies and now the winner will get a box, too.

Chocolate Shakeology: Hell yeah! One sample pack of Chocolate Shakeology to riddle the taste buds with joy and help whittle your body to goal weight while improving your health. And if you want to know more about Shakeology, or how to join my team on Beachbody, just email me, yo!

56-second video! Check out ALL the food you’d have to gnaw on to get the nutrition found in one Shakeology shake. Gah! I’m greedy, but not THAT damn greedy. Just gimme the shake instead.

Shakeology Sample Prizes: Three (3) consolation winners will each receive a sample of Chocolate Shakeology to gulp on. ka-BOOM!

You can quit wondering where the Peach CHO is. I ate it already.

See what I did? It was 90 degrees out when I took that pic, but I just HAD to show you how Kellogg’s FiberPlus made me over so I’m all set for walking this fall on my lunch breaks. With their makeover I got a sexy gym bag, a new hat, warm scarf (a fancy one this time) and two pairs of gloves. I needed to upgrade my at-work walking gear, and now it’s done!

Do you want to be my makeover twin? The winner gets a $75 bank-issued gift card so you can Plus Up Your Gym Bag™ however you want, plus a coupon for free FiberPlus Bars.

Check out what’s inside my old, lame bag…. deodorant, somebody’s hat (I don’t know who’s hat, but I’ve been using it), hair clip, extra underwear, scarf, gloves, and a fanny pack.

As for FiberPlus Bars, they’re back-cracking delicious. This is evidenced by the Greedy Family chomping and asking for more. Not to mention my plans to buy extra boxes and stash them in my food-hiding place. They’re only 130 calories, give you 35% of your daily fiber, and hello!! No high fructose corny-ness.

How Do I Enter?

Entries may be submitted in two ways. Limit one (1) Giveaway entry per person regardless of method of entry.

Congrats to cellabella. You win vitaminID!

Thanks to all who entered. And remember – everyone can call the FREE vitaminID hotline for unlimited talk time with a dietitian. Did I mention it’s FREE? Call their hotline at 1-877-272-MYID between 8am – 4pm PST.

I’m doing things a little different for you bossy types that want me to cut to the chase without a bunch of blah blah blah before I tell about the prize.

What Do I Win?

One win-thirsty winner will score $150 in FREE, customized vitaminID from Nature Made. That’s a hella good prize, m’kay? I already told you how they hooked up the Health-hater to get him to take vitamins. So then I went to the vitaminID website and took the survey for myself. But if you feel real smart and already know what vitamins you need, you don’t have to take the survey. Just browse the Build a Pack page and pick out what you want up to $150!

I asked vitaminID about survey results that recommend to many vitamins. Their answer made me feel really comfortable: “Some of the tablets are recommended based on ‘family history’, so they don’t necessarily mean you need them. Don’t feel the need to take everything. You know your body the best. Talk to your doctors and decide what works for you.”

See that! vitaminID cares for you like God cares for the unicorns.

What is this ‘Freebie for Everybody’ You Speak Of?

This Greedy Giveaway is no one trick pony, because everyone gets FREE telephone consultations with a vitaminID dietitian. No time limit, either. Call as many times as you need to blab and ask questions for as long as you want. No strings attached. You don’t even have to tell them your name.

I called the “Ask an Expert” hotline at vitamindID and disguised myself with an afro wig and hooker boots so they didn’t know it was the Yum Yucky. Expert Laura was kind enough to break down what I needed to know about free radicals. We also talked about Vitamins C, E and Super B Complex. Call their hotline at 1-877-272-MYID between 8am – 4pm PST.

“We don’t limit the time. It’s part of our mission to making vitamins easier to take,” is what they told me.

How Do I Win?

My Greedy Kid #1 is damn near a woman already. She wants to run away to college soon (eh, I guess I’ll let her), but will she be eating right for proper nutrition? Tell me who in your life could benefit from customized vitaminID, and why. Is it you? Your slacker neighbor? Your significant other? Your momma or your daddy?  Etc, etc.

YO, Jennifer Lambert! You win Nestle Toll House, baby! I asked all you fine people to talk about a back to school experience that is cemented into your memory – good or bad.

Check out Jennifer’s winning comment:

“On my first day of 8th grade I had one of those little backpack purses and I stuffed it with some extra sanitary napkins (that sounds so strange). These were the type of pads that could be described as couch cushions and sounded like a bag of potato chips when you tried to open them quietly in the bathroom. I walked into a classroom of 20 students, with my backpack purse casually slung over my shoulder, and proceeded to trip on the carpet. My purse flew forward and flung 5 pads out into the classroom. I don’t know how I found the courage to collect my pads from around the room. I will never in a million years forget that day. I feel bad for myself all over again! LOL!”

Daang. You sure do need some Nestle, fast. Happy chewing, girlfriend!
