Each giveaway in the hop is valued at $25 or more, so check the linky below, visit all the sites for your chance to win!

 Savings in Seconds thanks Wholesome Sweeteners for their generous prize package.  One lucky winner will receive a basket full of truly Wholesome Sweeteners!  Retail products including Fair Trade Organic Sugar, Sucanat, Light Brown Sugar, Dark Brown Sugar, Powdered Sugar, Organic Turbinado and their newest Organic Coconut Palm Sugar will be in the basket. The winner will also receive liquid sweeteners which include Fair Trade Organic Raw and Amber honey and Organic Light, Raw and Flavored Agave Syrups. This prize package is valued at $100.00.

I received these products to sample (not the basket, stuffed toy, and crayons pictured in back) and we’ve been enjoying the variety of flavors in the wholesome sweeteners.   There are so many sweeteners that I haven’t heard of.  We had never tried the agave syrups before, and I definitely didn’t know it came in so many flavors!!   One thing that I really liked about Wholesome Sweeteners’ products is that they are Fair Trade Certified.  I also don’t have to worry about icky chemicals in my sweeteners, because the products are USDA Organic and contain no GMO.   Wholesome Sweeteners has been able to bring water, electricity, education and health care facilities in developing regions of the world including Malawi and Brazil.   My husband asked me about the Fair Trade labeling so this gave me a chance to discuss it with him.  Fair Trade products enable the farmers who provide the goods to buy land, send their children to school, and build thriving communities where they work and live.  In short, Fair Trade means exactly that—everyone in the trade benefits.  Sounds wonderful, doesn’t it?  You can support this initiative by purchasing Fair Trade products from Wholesome Sweeteners.

Here are the products we received from Wholesome Sweeteners:

sugars boxed sweeteners

We couldn’t believe how many flavored agave syrups there were.  So far I haven’t been too daring with my creations.   I used the sugar on my fresh fruit and in my morning hot tea.  Divine!!  We only used a bit of the sugar but it made the most delicious syrup at the bottom of the bowl.  My kids ate every one of the berries.  My daughter likes the organic honey on her morning pancakes.   I also  plan to use some of the sugar on our zucchini muffins (as soon as our zucchini is ready to pick!) and maybe the agave syrups to make snowcones for the kids.   I’m thinking about trying the stevia in my sweet tea and possibly even koolaid, because I’m really trying to cut down on the amount of refined sugar my family consumes.  Doctor’s orders, plus mommy guilt!

Save some green: The good people at Wholesome Sweeteners have provided you with a $1 coupon toward a purchase of Fair Trade Organic Raw and Amber honey.    You can follow Wholesome Sweeteners on Facebook and on Twitter.

Are you ready to try Wholesome Sweeteners in your baked goods?  This is a great prize package that will give you lots of creative freedom!  Use the rafflecopter form below to enter the giveaway.  This giveaway is open to US/CAN readers and ends June 25.  Good luck!

    There are quite a few items in that basket I have yet to try. I’d love to though! I’ve tried a couple but I’m interested in finding a great fit for the fam! Something we all will like and enjoy as an alternate to sugar. We barely eat sugar but when we do I’d love for it be a good sugar. I know sugar doesn’t have a great affect on me. It makes me feel horrible if I have more than just a tiny bit, but from what I have been reading I guess that is or should be the norm.
