Orville Redenbacher's Pop & Win Game

Orville Redenbacher is running an instant win game on specially marked packages of Orville Redenbacher's Gourment Popping Corn. The game is called Pop & Win.

What I love about this promotion is the game piece. Each bag has a heat activated game piece. Once you cook the popcorn in the microwave, a winning or non-winning message is revealed. Winning game pieces tell you what you have won and show a prize redemption code that you enter online.

There are over $8 million in prizes to be won. And the odds of winning are good: one in six wins. I actually won a prize on the first bag I cooked from the 3-pack box I purchased.

I love how technology can enhance the sweepstakes experience if you can find the right technology for the right brand. The anticipation of waiting to see if I won was a fun experience. And even though I'm not hungry for popcorn right now, I can't wait to see if I have won any more prizes with the remaining two bags in the box.

Game ends 11/30/11.

Extreme Couponing on The Learning Channel

There are consumers who are obsessed with saving money. TLC has a special called Extreme Couponing which profiles four coupon fanatics that go beyond the norm to save hundreds, sometimes thousands, of dollars on their monthly grocery bill. This show portrays what they do to save money.

Digging through garbage to find coupons that have been thrown out, carefully following store ads, going to stores that only double coupon, stock piling, and hoarding is just a part of the lifestyle that these shopaholics lead.


One star of the show had a store visit that only cost him $241 after using his coupons, a retail value that would have cost him $5743.00.


One mom utilized her coupons and only had to pay $6.32 on a bill that came to $230.38.
