The Good Bean Giveaway

by Anna on January 18, 2013 · 98 comments

Happy Friday!

A couple of days ago I told you about some free samples I received from The Good Bean. Now it’s your turn to try them. The Good Bean has offered to send three Cookie Madness readers a sample pack with two bags of salty snacks and two bars. For a chance at being a lucky recipient, leave a comment saying what your plans are for the weekend. I will pick three comments at random on Tuesday morning 1/22/2013 and notify three people that afternoon. Deadline for the giveaway will be midnight on Monday 1/21/2013. UPDATED — Giveaway has ended. Am in the process of picking the winners

In the meantime, here’s a link to The Good Bean Website where you can check out the Good Bean flavors and use their store locator. They also asked me to mention that The Good Bean is now sold at Sprouts.
