So I bought some Banquet sausages because they're cheap and I'm poor.

On the back of the boxes there's a code and it tells me that I can enter it on their special website to to help feed kids. Sound gimmicky (because they could just donate a certain amount of thee proceeds from the sausage without this song and dance) but I go to the site anyway to enter my codes.

Check out the site here.

I entered the first one and it appeared to add it to my regional tally. I go to enter the second one and... IT'S THE SAME CODE.

I go to the freezer and they're all the same code. Thinking maybe it doesn't matter, I enter it again. The tally did not go up.

So 4 boxes of sausages really only feeds one kid. I didn't bother to see if clearing my cookies would make a difference but I think this promo is kinda bogus.

I tried Red Baron Pizza today

It said new "Awesome" recipe and this intrigued me because the last time I had it, it tasted cheap. Well, it didn't taste quite as cheap but it's still lacking some essential pizza flavor. Garlic powder didn't fix it.

I'm glad it was Buy 1 get 1 free.

I got these Frozen Mrs Pauls fish things for free because of a coupon deal. So I didn't feel bad about trying them out since I didn't pay anything for them.

They're in these parchment paper bags, it's hard to explain but you bake it in the bag for 22 minutes then you take them out and they already have sauce and everything. I've had bad experiences with frozen fish but these were excellent as far as the actual fillet goes. Mild flavor and not fishy whatsoever.

There isn't a whole lot of product in the box so I would probably hesitate to buy these if they're not on sale but I would totally get them again.

I tried 2 flavors, lemon garlic and classic. My only complaint is that the sauce is a bit too starchy but this is a cheaper supermarket product. A little olive oil and lemon juice solved that minor issue pretty well.

Fun fact about me

I have quit smoking a grand total of 4 times. The longest I have been without a cigarette is 3 years. I am currently not smoking and I hope I can keep it this way. Like most ex smokers, the trigger to going back has been stress.

I welcome tips to keeping smoke free during times of vulnerability.
