So tomorrow is Christmas Eve-eve… the night before the night before Christmas. How many of you are still shopping?
Usually, I know I am. I’m sort of known around home as the guy who’s always at the mall on Christmas Eve. This year, I think I’m all done… but I bet something or someone will come up between now and then. It’s partly that I’m a procrastinator extraordinaire, but also because sometimes I just can’t decide what to buy some people. Only the pressure of the last minute can bring my creativity to a boil… and I run out to find a gift card… or sometimes, just a card. When all else fails, some construction paper and a Sharpie go a long way.
Anyway, the point is, I bet some of you are still wondering how to fill out that Christmas list. Well, I just got an email from the folks at FoodSaver, and they’ve got a pretty sweet deal for the hunter or foodie on the “Nice” side of Santa’s list. Here’s what the email said:
Greetings!
I hope you’re having a great day and taking some time to enjoy the holidays! I work on behalf of Jarden Consumer Solutions, the owner of the FoodSaver® brand, and I recently came across your blog, The Hog Blog. Since you are a hunter, I thought you might be interested in learning how you can preserve your game by using the FoodSaver® GameSaver® systems. Butcher wrapping and ice-packing are often used, but this process can’t prevent freezer burn. Our vacuum sealers can!
We would like to offer you and your readers 50% off a FoodSaver® GameSaver® Gift Set. I know the holidays are already here, but you can take advantage of this offer throughout the next couple weeks. This bundle includes the FoodSaver® brand’s new product, the FoodSaver® GameSaver® Silver with a 12 volt power cord, a FoodSaver® Quick Marinator, and a variety of FoodSaver® branded bags and rolls specially made for the system. You can claim your discount by clicking on this link or entering the promo code SAVE130C while making your purchase. (Please note that the discount will be applied once you add the item to your cart).
That means you can pick up that $260 set for $130! Now, I’m already a big fan of the FoodSaver system, and one of their “Professional” units graces my kitchen. Since I started vacuum-packing my game meat and fish, I’ll never go back to the old days of butcher paper, plastic wrap, or ZipLoc bags. The FoodSaver is just too effective and efficient.
I know this sounds like a blatant plug, and I guess it sort of is (it’s also the result of not having content for a post today). But I’ve always said I wouldn’t promote a product I wouldn’t buy for myself, and this is no exception. If I didn’t know it worked, I wouldn’t be sharing this with you now.
So there ya go… check one more name off your list, put an IOU in a card (if you order now, it probably won’t make it by Christmas), and make someone happy! Even if it’s not here in time to unwrap under the tree, it should make it in plenty of time to vacuum pack a few slices of fruitcake.
