Fiber One is giving away a free sample of their cereal bar along with a sample mini-cereal box and $5 in coupons. It’s a quick and easy 2 page form and on the second page they ask if you want to sign-up for their newsletter, but this is optional.

If you’re a fan of Fiber One, this is a sweet freebie and as usual, expect your gratis sample in 6 to 8 weeks. Ole!

P.S. Feel free to share this with your friends via email, Twitter or Facebook.

Essentially I will scour the interwebs and post any awesome vegetarian coupons and samples I come across.

If you want to be added to the list, leave a comment below with your @username. I will update the list below weekly with the new suggestions.

From now on i will be referring to this list for follow friday, as i think listing every person individually on Twitter, is kind of annoying. Plus as you can see the list is quite long.

Not on Twitter, yet? Grab a copy of my awesome twitter guide…a beginner’s guide.

Vegetarians And Vegans On Twitter is from groovy vegetarian

I found out about PB&J Day via my twitter friend (@amiraelgan), did you know that traditional PB&J Sandwiches are dolled out to the tune of 1,500 per US child by the time he/she reaches adulthood? But the usual white bread pb&j is not terribly healthy, they are full of sugar and processed yuckiness.

THE HEALTHIER PB&J SANDWICH

But it is super easy as Amira mentions, to turn the traditional peanut butter and jelly sandwich into a healthier one. Such as using organic peanut butter (or organic almond butter) and instead of white bread, try whole grain bread and instead of jelly try honey or even a banana.

Many grocers now carry quite the shelf load of jellies and peanut butter jars, including organic varieties fortified with Omega 3 and other nutrients. There is much more than just Smucker’s out there. Try a new variety next time you’re at the grocer.

So celebrate PB&J Day with a quirkier (and healthier) version of the awesome classic.

VegFYI: Today Is Peanut Butter & Jelly Day! is from groovy vegetarian

Not on Twitter, yet? Why not. It is fun and a fantastic way to mix and mingle with other vegetarians. The cool thing about Twitter is that because everyone is limited to 140 characters, convos are quick and to the point. Plus there are only two things you have to add to your profile page to make it complete, #1.) a sweet background and #2.) an avatar. That’s it. You’re now ready to add followers and to tweet away.

Follow us here and we will follow you back.

One Caveat: Because i never created seperate accounts for my diff web properties, i ramble on a variety of topics. I don’t just cover vegetarian stuff. Hope you enjoy my ramblings. If not, you can always unfollow me. No hard feelings. (well ok i will be hurt a little)

P.S. If you need help with setting up an account on Twitter, adding a background, finding followers or anything at all. Please just leave a comment below or send me an email via my contact form above.

I would be happy to hook you up. Tweet Tweet!

Well they do and i just found this out via the awesomely awesome giveaway over at Veggie Chic. Michelle who runs the blog is giving away not one not two, but 10 boxes of Cutie’s mandarin oranges. Can you say wow?

The catch is you only have till tomorrow (Thursday) to enter to win. So head on over to the mandarin oranges giveaway post and leave a fab comment. That’s it, that is all you have to do and you will be entered in the giveaway. Wait, don’t go yet. Read below.

Win A Box Of Cutie's Mandarin Oranges! is from groovy vegetarian

PETA2 is giving away 5 free animal rights t shirts to 3 lucky winners. Each winner will receive all 5 t shirts. Pretty freakin cool. To enter to win, just head on over to the blog, and leave a comment. Specify which is your fave shirt and leave your shirt size. That’s it. Oh! and deadline to enter is October 3rd.

By they way, if you’re not following PETA2 on Twitter, you should add them. Twitter usually updates faster than RSS feeds, and when PETA2 updates their blog, you get instant notice. (usually) This Friday they are having a fabulous giveaway.

CONTEST COMING TO GROOVY VEG

I will be holding my own fantastic vegetarian t shirt giveaway in the next week or two. Code-Creations, an organic cotton tshirt maker, that designs vegetarian themed t-shirts has signed on to sponsor the contest. Kudos to Amber for the good word.

Stay tuned next week and be sure you’re an RSS feed subscriber (or email subscriber) so you don’t miss out.

Have a great weekend. Missy.

Which do you use? Do you submit stories daily? How do you feel about creating an alliance, in where we hook up, and help each other out. As you know these social networking sites, are useless without a web of friends.

The Green Social Sites I Use

Hugg – Green digg like site owned by TreeHugger.

CON: Ever since their re-design, well it just lacks alot of things. For one, there is no friending feature. Second, no forward this to someone feature. It really is very web .5, not at all web 2.0

PRO: But the good thing about Hugg, is that you only need a handful of votes to make it to front page. This is very doable.

Twitter - Aside from chit chatting on Twitter, one can also make a post go viral on there.

PRO: One can re-tweet someone else’s twit, and therein lies the viral beauty of Twitter. Depending on how many friends one has, this can be pretty good exposure.

CON: The number (and types) of friends you have, ultimately decide the fate of your posts. The more greenies you have, the better. I definitely need more green friends on Twitter, so if you’re a veggie or eco friendly, follow me.

Digg (the environment section)

CON: Making it to the front page here, is like hitting pay dirt. Well, for a day or two.

PRO: Extremely hard to make it to the front page. You need gobs of friends, precious hours of the day voting, commenting, and networking. There is a very specific crowd of people on Digg, they are VERY hard to please, quite jaded, and super savvy about social networks. A great big beast of a challenge! One day i will crack it.

Kirsty – digg like site by and for women

PRO: Great community of ladies who vote up their faves in organic food, eco friendly fashions, green celebs, sustainable home improvement, easy and affordable DIY, and recycled product shopping.

The front page stories here scream “i need help”, “i need help”. Help me with stuff. The ladies at Kirtsy are looking for ways, methods, tips, and tricks to make life easier, better, faster, or more manageable.

CON: There is a clique at Kirtsy, you need to be “one of the girls” to make your storys appear on the front page. Lots of daily participation is required, and again the right type of friends is key.

I like the Kirtsy site, alot of good stories are submitted by members, and shared. I’m a fan.

Reader Questions (+Poll)

Please weigh in below, and tell me, what is your fave green social bookmarking site? Is it a niche and small green site, or one of the big sites, like Digg? Is there a vegetarian/vegan specific social networking site, i should know about? Shoud we form a small group alliance, to help each other out?

Let’s talk.

[poll id="8"]

Your Fave Green Social Networking Site Is? is from groovy vegetarian

De-lurk and share on anything at all. Politics, sports, vegetarian recipes, shopping, Mother’s Day, etc.

FYI

I am currently working on writing a series of tips on going vegetarian for new readers and visitors. Stay tuned for that. Also i am sprucing up the vegetarian resources and about pages, plus upgrading to the latest version of WordPress.

Speaking of WP, have you upgraded. yet?

So Happy Friday, do come on out to the blog, and give me a shout out. Peace, Missy.

P.S. I’m quite active on Twitter, do join me there as well. It’s speedy and loads of fun! It’s perfect for those with bad  ADD. (like me)
