Checking Out the Galaxy Note 7 at the BlogHer '16 Best Buy Experience

Disclosure: The reviewer has been compensated in the form of a Best Buy 
Gift Card and/or received the product/service at a reduced price or for free.

I can't believe it's been 2 weeks since BlogHer '16.  There was so much to see and do.  
I was so excited to check out the Best Buy Mobile Plan and Compare Tool and be among the first to try out the Samsung Galaxy Note 7.  Yes, store launch was mid-August and we got to test a full 2 weeks before it hit the store.


I was surprised to learn nearly 50% of cell phone users overpay their monthly cell phone bill.  The Best Buy team helped me use the Mobile Plan and Compare tool - which is available at all Best Buy stores I must add - and I was surprised to learn I could save some serious dough by making a few changes to my mobile plan and even upgrade our phones.  


I did some calculating and figured out we could save enough to pay band fees for all three of our sons for the entire year with the money we saved just by making a few changes to our current mobile plan.  *jaw dropping*

Plus we could upgrade to the stylish, lightweight Samsung Galaxy Note 7.  The Galaxy Note has some really cool features including the S-pen which is perfect for techies like moi who prefer writing vs. pecking letters on a keyboard.  The screen is large and the 12-mp camera takes great pics.  My favorite feature is the Iris Scanner!!!  Our @3Boys_OldLady Fashionista was able to scan EVEN with glasses on!  


Adding the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 to our Christmas wishlist especially after finding out how much we could save thanks to the Best Buy Mobile Plan and Compare tool.

Are you overpaying on your current mobile plan?  
What would you do with all the money you saved?

Maple and Brown Sugar Air Fryer Bacon

I've been raving about my Instant Pot but now I have a new favorite... the Air Fryer.   O M G This thing is amazing!  I don't know why I was so late to the Air Fryer craze but I am so glad I am finally onboard.   I've been talking about getting one and then after my aunt posted pics of her new air fryer, that was it off to Best Buy I went.   I wasn't sure how big of a unit I would need but I figured the 2.5 liter would suffice.  I chose the Chefman Express.  It was priced on the shelves for $85 but online for $75.99 and my local store matched the price AND I had my Swagbucks Best Buy QR code so I got 500 SBs + 2 SBs for every dollar spent so that's another 170 SBs.  So, after discounts, my air fryer ended up costing me less than the sale price.  Woohoo! There were some fancy ones on the shelves with digital display but after checking the reviews I figured since I don't fry much this model would suffice. When I think of fried foods, I think

Jeepers! It's January Hop

Happy New Year! What better way to kick off the new year than with a giveaway! I am so excited to join The Mommy Island, The Kids Did It and 90+ other fab blogs in the first big giveaway hop of 2018! Here’s your chance to start the new year off with a win. One lucky Three Boys and an Old Lady blog reader will receive a $15 Walmart eGift card. $10 may not seem like a lot but it’s enough to stock up on some last minute Christmas clearance gifts. Trust me. I bought a 6’ Christmas tree WITH lights, 2 animal massagers, 3 Jelly Belly BeanBoozled Jelly Beans Mystery Bean Dispenser, Christmas cards and wrapping paper less than $20 during an after Christmas Walmart shopping trip. I was searching for some cough syrup when my friend’s kid spotted the Jelly Belly BeanBoozled Jelly Beans Mystery Bean Dispenser on sale for 50 cents. What a steal! The regular price is $10 so to find them on sale for 50 cents was a deal. We cleared the shelves. A few rows down we spotted some anima

A Pit Stop at Sho Nuff Hot Tamales in Greenville, Mississippi

My cousin and I were driving along and our tummies were rumbling as we crossed the Mississippi state line on US-82.  We didn't really have any particular dish in mind for lunch but we started seeing signs saying "Hot Tamales". "Hot Tamales", my Philly cousin asked. "Yep", I replied nonchalantly.  "I remember reading something about hot tamales being a big thing here in the Delta."   We kept driving and finally decided we would have to try these famous Mississippi Delta hot tamales. Now to decide which one.  There were literally dozens of tamale spots.  We happened upon a restaurant called Sho-Nuff and decided it was the one. We parked and entered the large, delightfully decorated restaurant.  The wall was plastered with local and national awards in recognition of those hot tamales.   There was a sign touting Sho-Nuff as the winner of the local newspaper's favorite restaurant award and 3rd place winner in the annual  Delta Hot Ta
