Peapod deliveries right to your door – win tickets to a New York Yankees home game

Take me out to the ball game… buy me some, well actually buy me anything thanks to Peapod by Stop & Shop who is a proud partner of the New York Yankees for the 2019 season. I’m too thrilled announce an incredible Sweepstakes going on right now. Each time a New Yorker places an order with Peapod from now until June 30th, they will be automatically entered to win the Ultimate Fan Sweepstakes. A randomly selected winner will receive a VIP experience at Yankee Stadium. This includes FOUR Legends Suite tickets to be determined for a home game, a pre-game on -field experience, a pre-game dining experience with a former New York Yankees player, and four $100 gift cards to the Yankee Stadium Team Stores.

This was a no brainer partnered with Peapod since we’ve shopped at Stop & Shop for years the idea that we now can download an app and order sweet… score a pair of NY Yankees tickets as a giveaway (enter below using the widget) is totally a BONUS! Let’s be real, the days of waiting in line at the grocery store are no longer necessary with convenient services like Peapod. There’s no walking home trying to lug a heavy watermelon down the blocks. You get your delivery jump into your car and head to the game ready to tailgate with the best of them.

Not only does Peapod save time and energy but it also offers convenient features and shopping tools such as “Express Shop” (which helps quickly locate the ingredients in a recipe or meal plan). There’s also an Order Genius feature that will auto-fill the shopping cart with your most frequent purchases.

I had my entire order delivered to my door in NYC in less than 24 hrs. I will also mention my wife placed the order on a Sunday while I was driving the car and everything arrived seamlessly. Like a true New Yorker, I made sure to tip my delivery driver ahead of time on the app, so I didn’t even need to have cash in my pocket.

The Rock and Roll Playhouse is a family concert series that allows kids to “move, play and sing while listening to works from the classic-rock canon” (NY Times). Created by entrepreneur and owner of The Capitol Theatre and co-owner of the Brooklyn Bowl, Peter Shapiro, and Amy Striem, a certified Early Childhood and Elementary teacher, The Rock and Roll Playhouse uses music to educate children and explore their creativity.
The idea for The Playhouse came to Shapiro, a parent of two young children, after he discovered first-hand a lack of regular programming in New York City that combined his passion for live music and his family. He collaborated with Striem, then an administrator at his daughter’s nursery school, to help fill this void that they felt many other parents also shared. Using the music of the most iconic musicians in rock history, from The Grateful Dead to Prince to David Bowie to Aretha Franklin to The Beatles and more.
The Rock and Roll Playhouse offers its core audience of children under 10 with games, movement, and stories and an opportunity to rock out.
I took the kids to a show last year and they loved it… they danced they played… it was really the highlight of the weekend.

2019 Father’s Day Gift Guide – Giveaway: TCL 6-Series 55″ LED 4K UHD TV with HDR Roku TV

TCL 6-Series 55″ LED 4K UHD TV WITH HDR ROKU TV

For me I’d love nothing more then a TV upgrade this year – with all the providers now pushing out 4k content, I think its finally the year to invest in a 4K TV. TCL’s 6-Series TVs combines superior 4K UHD picture quality with Dolby Vision, which delivers the ultimate HDR imaging experience. The popular Roku OS offers the most streaming content for countless entertainment options. For gamers, a responsive TV is just as important as one with a good picture. With 4K resolution, ultra-low lag-time, and Dolby Vision HDR, it offers both premium picture and responsive performance.

Bowflex SelectTech 560 dumbbells

I’m totally a tech head and when I heard that there was an app enabled dumbbells that count the sets, reps and weight and since they are adjustable from 5 to 60 lbs. It perfect for those of us that want to see the track of the improvement we make.

Jabra Elite 65t Alexa Enabled True Wireless Earbuds Charging Case

Wireless headphones are all the rage these days but not many sport the IP55 rated and comes with a 2-year warranty against damage from water and dust. With up to 5 hours of battery, and with additional power from the included charging case.

Tenth Street Hats

Over 275 styles to choose from, fitting for all the dads in your life. Be it for a dapper night out on the town or a great hat to wear hanging at the pool or beach.

Sunglasses 

It seems like my sunglasses last maybe a year or two at best, so I’m always looking for a great deal on the brands I love.  Finding these folding Ray-Ban Wayfarers at a great price I knew I had found my next pair of shades. I think smartbuyglasses.com just got me hooked.

Spring into Sam’s Club for this season’s hottest picks

Spring into Sam’s Club for this season’s hottest picks

This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Sam’s Club. The opinions and text are all mine.

I grew up going to Sam’s Club to purchase big, oversized food, of course they had other stuff but I rarely paid any attention to it.  That’s just how I shopped, when Sam’s Club reached out to show me some of their newest products for this Spring/Summer of 2019 – I jumped at the chance to see what was new… and boy are these things epic.

There were a ton of items that were shown to me at the showcase and I wanted to share what I thought were the best in each category.

For me the summer is all about BBQing outside with friends and family, Sam’s Club has this incredible Member’s Mark BBQ Smoker Grill hybrid.  I totally fell in love with this one. First the price is under $600 which is a great deal for a grill but to add the smoker (which used wood pellets and is fully digital) is a now a steal. Best part there is also an IR grill, which will give you that perfectly seared steak.

While you’re grilling keeping the little kids occupied will be easy with the Pirate Ship Sprayer Pool.  If your kids love pirates or just want to cool off this will be a win.

 

For those with older kids (over 21) and those adults that like to party this could be the hottest pool item of the season.  The Waterproof floating boombox with cupholders and pong tray… what an incredible way to bring the music to the pool area while adding a fun game.

For those that want to head to the beach it’s always hard to lug the chairs, blankets, cooler but this backpack cooler was super chill (and a great way to give you a free hand). Consider this your sneak peek at an awesome item you will be able to find in the club mid-June!

Finally I wanted to talk about Sam’s Club food beyond the awesome ready to heat and eat Gyro meat from Kronos! Did you know that Sam’s Club offers USDA Prime meats in all locations now? What started as a pilot programs has now been rolled out to all clubs. Prime is the highest designation that the USDA Agricultural Marketing Service assigns to red meat. Trained graders evaluate cuts of meat and categorize them as prime, choice or select based on an official grading standard that assesses tenderness, juiciness and flavor. Cuts that grade prime have the highest levels of marbling.  The prices I heard were like 1/2 of what we’ve paid at our typical butcher shop recently.  I got to talk with Sam’s Club own chef Dan Concepcion, who talked about how great the steaks were and gave me some tips to how to prep for a better BBQ this summer.

Be sure to visit Sam’s Club or check out samsclub.com for all of these and other great finds!
