We were giving away gift cards during the event
Last Saturday 01/26/13 I participated on the first Bakersfield Samrt & Final Tweep Up Event. It was a pretty fun event where store costumers using their smart phones and very common applications such as Foursquare, Instagram, Facebook and twitter took pictures of their shopping experience and uploaded the on the web to win $25.00 dollars gift.

The event was a lot of fun and we were able to provide some of the customers with gift cards to buy their groceries for the weekend and start shopping for the upcoming Super Bowl Celebrations.
And while I was at the event, I did some shopping for myself. I look at all the good sales available and I also check it out the Smart and Final Corporate Brands such as First Street, Ambiance and La Romanella. The corporate brands offer quality products at such a great price that is easy to complete a complete meal for just a few bucks.

Super Bowl is coming up and I love to have gatherings at my house. But as much as I love entertaining people, I also work full time, so I have to get creative with easy to prepare meals for a good prize.
Today I want to share some of the dishes that I have prepared on the past for my parties and that have been a success with family and friends, and the most important thing is that they are easy to prepare and very economical, you can make all 3 plates for around $25.00 dollars and will have ingredients left to make other things during the week.
