Mobil have a contest to win a trip for 4 to see the Grand Prix in Austin Texas, but many of our forum members are mentioning that they won the $10 Canadian Tire gift card runner up prize (there are 5000 to be won) when they said they bought the product and chose the red car!

Edit: the car does seem to be random, I just sent it to a friend where the blue car won

Cream of Wheat have Free Product Coupons (FPCs) available to win if you retweet their contest tweet on twitter (wow try saying that 10 times fast).

Click here for the twitter message.  Make sure you follow them so they can message you if you win a coupon.

Do you prefer easy retweet contests or facebook contests?  I am more active on facebook but I like how little information you give to enter contests on twitter compared to facebook apps which ask for a crazy amount of information.

Bzzagent recently sent me coupons to try International Delight’s new Iced Coffee for free and since they sent me extra coupons to share, I thought I would share them with two lucky winners.

Who needs Starbucks? Now you can have a delicious iced coffee at home.  With a recommended price of $4.99 for a 1.89L carton (and much cheaper on sale), you can make yourself a yummy drink for under $0.60 per one cup serving!  No brewing coffee, just shake and pour over ice – one cup over ice fills the large tumbler they sent us too.  It is extra delicious if you blend the ice and iced coffee!

International Delight Iced Coffee is made with 100% premium Arabica beans, real cream and milk and comes in three authentic coffeehouse flavours: Mocha, Vanilla and Caramel Macchiato (caramel was our favourite, although it is quite sweet – so 1 cup at a time is plenty).

Want to try it too? Enter using the rafflecopter form below (may take a minute to load)

Congrats to Robin M and Sarah K!

Nellie’s All-Natural recently sent me a bag of their 50 load Laundry Soda to try out – and once you have finished reading my review of it, one lucky SmartCanuck reader will also have the opportunity to win a 50 load bag too.

Nellie’s All-Natural is Canadian, based in Vancouver, is hypoallergenic and uses natural products that you can actually pronounce – plus for those with babies, it is cloth diaper safe.

• Coconut Oil Based Surfactant: The natural stuff that cleans
• Sodium Carbonate (Soda Ash): Assists the stuff that cleans by softening the water and provides alkalinity
• Sodium Metasilicate: Helps prevent the metal parts in the washer from corroding.
• Fatty Alcohol Ethoxylate: More natural stuff that cleans
• Sodium Chloride: Helps to hold it all together and increase flow

Nellie’s comes with a small spoon style scoop, those used to using a large scoopful of detergent do not try using that much, you really don’t need that much of Nellie’s All Natural.  You may have to dig around in the bag for it, mine had settled close to the bottom.

We washed 4 loads of laundry, including a load of clothes muddy from a construction site after the rain the other day.  I will admit, I was fully prepared to wash the muddy clothes a second time using our regular laundry detergent and added an extra 1/2 scoop of Nellie’s when washing them but to my surprise, they didn’t need a second cleaning.  The whites were not dingy at all and the clothes smelled fresh and clean without a fake perfume smell.  It worked well in both the hot and cold wash cycles for our loads of laundry with no residue left on the clothes.

For those who want to buy Nellie’s All Natural, you can buy it directly from them in 50, 100 or 1101 load containers, or in 36 and 50 load packs of pre-measured laundry nuggets.  They also have dryer balls that you can insert lavender sticks into to make your drying all-natural too.

Nellie’s is also sold at  Costco online and many retailers including London Drugs and Bed, Bath & Beyond.  You can find a list of local retailers here.

Now, on to how to win one:  Enter using the rafflecopter form below (it may take a few seconds to load). – Please make sure you have answered the mandatory question (first entry option)

Today is Pay It Forward Day.  SmartCanuckers are a generous bunch while being frugal.  You can find many tales of Random Acts of Kindness (RAOKs) in our bragging forum.  I know that I have received random envelopes of coupons in the mail after mentioning I needed a coupon etc, and really appreciate those RAOKs.

Today is about paying those RAOK’s forward (and hopefully passing on the trend of paying it forward, but if not, you made someone’s day).

• Buy someone a coffee
• Offer coupons to someone with no postage/coupons in return
• If you have professional skills (web design, newsletter layout, marketing advice etc), offer them to a charity or community group
• Spend an hour with an lonely neighbour
• Top up someone’s parking meter if it is close to expiring
• Pay for someone’s transit fare

You can download some Pay It Forward Day cards here to leave for the person you RAOK – help pass on the RAOKing theme.  Find out more about Pay It Forward Day here.

Now for my RAOK to you – reply to this thread letting me know how you RAOKed someone (today or in general) before midnight ET and I will choose 2 winners by random number generator to receive a $5 TimCard so you can buy someone else a coffee – and get one for yourself! (see full terms below) over

Winners have been contacted, if no reply in 48 hours, new winners will be chosen
