Banquet "Thanks a Million" Promotion almost over! Hurry for your chance to WIN!

For 50 years, Banquet has been making the familiar foods that families love. From Salisbury steak to crispy fried chicken and turkey pot pies to chicken breast tenders, you can always count on Banquet to provide consistently good taste at a great value.

Banquet products include frozen dinners, pot pies, fried chicken, chicken nuggets, tenders and patties, Banquet wings, Homestyle Bakes, and Crock-Pot Classics.

This winter, Banquet has been giving away thousands of dollars as a way of saying "Thanks a Million" to their customers. Packages of Banquet frozen meals with the "Thanks a Million" logo each contain a special thank you gift, either one of over 16,000 redeemable cash prizes, (worth anywhere from $10 to $100,000), or a Banquet coupon. The promotion has been a huge hit so far and it looks like all of the special packages will have been purchased by next month.

We don't make a habit of eating a ton of prepared meals, but one thing I cannot seem to wean ourselves from is the Banquet chicken breast nuggets or popcorn chicken. The kids love the taste of them, and for the price it's a great solution for a quick lunch or dinner on our super busy days. Needless to say, if you open my freezer, you'll likely see a box of popcorn chicken every single time.  Thanks to Mom Central, we were given coupons to try our favorite Banquet products at no cost. I hate most chicken nuggets or popcorn chicken, but there's something about the way Banquet nuggets crisp up. They taste great baked in the oven with a side of fries and green beans.

The Banquet "Thanks a Million" Instant win game can be found on specially marked packages, and are available at grocery stores everywhere. You should hurry, because this is your last chance to try to win the grand prize of $100,000!

Wendy's New Spicy Chicken Nuggets Review

I was recently asked if I wanted to review Wendy's new Spicy Chicken Nuggets, and was sent a $5 gift card to go and try them. My family loves the regular chicken nuggets, and I love the spicy chicken sandwich, so I jumped at the opportunity.

The Spicy Chicken Nuggets are on the Value Menu- and for only 99 cents- which is cheaper than their regular chicken nuggets at $1.19. (These are the prices at my location, prices may vary by location.)

The new Spicy Chicken Nuggets are made with 100% white meat chicken, and tastes just like the Spicy Chicken Sandwich. They're coated with Japanese style breadcrumbs and packed with a potent array of spices like red pepper, chili pepper, turmeric, paprika and ground mustard seed. You can see the seasoning in the breading! You can choose your favorite flavor dunking sauce, or stick to traditional ketchup like I do.

For 99 cents, these nuggets are a great deal and a great spin on a traditional menu item. Overall, I am definitely pleased with these nuggets.
