{Now Closed} FiberPlus “Plus Up” Your Purse Giveaway

by

If you had to open up your purse for the world right now, how would it look? A huge shock right now is the bag I use every day is actually kind of organized. I don’t carry a traditional purse for the most part.

I use my canvas tote, which was part of the swag from a blog conference in conjunction with a small wristlet for daily use. The small pocket book has no spare room for anything else let alone a Kellogg’s Fiber Plus bar!

I’m not sure if this picture really gives justice to the mess inside of this little thing. Basically I have numerous  receipts, petty cash, gift cards, driver’s license, and of course, several tubes of lipbalm and lip gloss in my wristlet.

Usually, I will take my canvas tote when I head to the office. It has several important items I may need throughout the day along like any checks received, business cards, pens, miscellaneous papers, etc. However, it’s a little too big for carry around for too long but has the best pockets for storing Kellogg’s FiberPlus bars, which I like to take along for a breakfast or snack on the go!

Have you tried the Kellogg’s FiberPlus bars? Not only are they tasty, they contain 35% of the recommended daily value of fiber – in case you um, need some help in “that” department.  My favorite is the chocolate chip, of course. Followed closely by the chocolately peanut butter variety!

How would you like to “Plus Up” your purse? I have a $75 Gift Card along with a coupon for a box of Kellogg’s FiberPlus bars for one lucky reader!

You will also want to follow @LadyFibarista on Twitter. On Fridays, the first 25 people to send a message to @LadyFibarista with the hashtag #fiberfriday will receive a coupon for a full value box of Kellogg’s FiberPlus bars.

  6. the closer we get to the holidays, the more & more my bag is still in desperate need of help…would you believe that it’s actually, LITERALLY, gained TWO pounds since my last comment??? though i’d love to be lucky enough to win twice, the ipad would still make this holiday so worth while b/c my ill father hasn’t been able to stop talking aout them since he first saw one lol. blessings all & have a beautiful day! :0

  10. Well quite honestly-my purse is so disorganized that sometimes I can’t find my cellphone in my purse-well I or someone else calls the phone so I can find the phone-:)

  13. I need to ‘plus up’ my purse so that I can organize it better. I’d love to have the room to store a fiber one bar in it.

  16. I need to plus up my purse because I have 1 compartment and find it hard to find anything – plus it would be great ro have these Fiber Plus bars in my purse for those mid-afternoon slumps, so I don’t hit the vending machine @ work :(

  19. My coupon bag is the only thing I carry besides a wallet and keys. It’s organized enough, and sometimes snacks get pitched into it – other brands of fiber-enriched snack bars.

  20. I really need to plus up my purse because I can never find the coupons that I put inside of it. I need a purse with more pockets!

  23. I have a mini salon in mine. Hand cream, hairspray, lip gloss, body spray….also, it carries tools, wallet and of course a pocket sized yearly calendar, hand sanitizer, tissue, keys,…bingo daubers, book!!!!! Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  36. I need to “fiber up” my purse because it is used as a suitcase, makup bag, diaper bag, trash can, and junk drawer, lol. It literally weighs about 6 lbs!

  39. So I can find things when I need them, not two days later and say ooo i was just looking for that, oh well, maybe next time.

  40. My purses always break on me, because I carry them too long and I put too much stuff in them. I need a new purse.

  41. most of the time I use a fanny pack, but even with that, I have a habit of just shoving in receipts and stuff until it’s overflowing. I really need to plus up my purse

    mearley1979 at gmail dot com

  51. My purse is starting to rip b/c I put too much in it, so I definitely need to plus up my purse!

  53. i’m in desperate need of a purse plus up! i am a full time mother of a 4 year old daughter & 6 year old son, full time student, full time fiance, full time waitress, & full time doting new aunt, all while trying to keep up w/ taking care of our very first home. whoever came up w/ the “everything but the kitchen sink” obviously had me in mind b/c there is a little bit of everything in my bag; first aid kit, 2 sets of keys, wallet, make-up(for me that consists of mascara & lip balm), notebooks, pens galore, date book, address book, snacks(everything from bars to bananas), wipes, sanitizer, sewing kit, medicine, brush, hair ties, coupons, calculater, flash light, paper clips, stapler, tape(along w/ other “office supplies”), gum, vitamins(so i never forget!), & tons more that i can’t think of at the moment, along w/ a few things i’ve forgotten that i probably don’t want to know about b/c they’ve been down at the bottom for so long :) i ‘upgraded’ to a messenger bag a few months ago, thinking it would help, but all it helped was me putting even more stuff in there since i’ve got more space! basically what i’m(or my poor little purse is)saying here is help me!

  58. I need to “plus up my purse” because, rather than organize my purse and empty out all the excess “junk” I end up carrying another bag (usually a canvas grocery bag) to put all my stuff in. Oh did admit that, UGH.

  61. My purse is a jumble of papers and receipts. It needs a way of keeping these items more organized.

  63. I have no idea how to take a picture of my purse, but if I did you’d see that I carry fiber one bars everywhere! I’d love a gift card so I could keep the Oats and Chocolate bars comin!

  65. I need to Plus-up my purse because I can NEVER find my iPhone in my purse!

    Thanks for the great giveaway!

  66. I need to plus up my purse, need a new wallet/coupon organizer. I’m saving for my upcoming wedding and first home so plusing up my purse without having to spend money would be ideal.. it’d be a nice treat!

  80. I need a purse with more sections. I actually have a good purse, but since i upgraded my phone to a droid 2, it doesn’t fit in the cute little phone compartment on the outside. So now, it falls to the bottom of my purse, just like everything else. I have sooooo many gift cards, loyalty cards, and coupons floating around, it’s just a mess.

  95. As you all know a purse is basically a file cabinet with straps. Us ladies can use all the help we can get in keeping it organized. We can also benefit a little help in lugging that thing around…so “plus up” my purse and myself with those yummy bars!!

  96. I need to plus up my purse because it serves as filing cabinet, picnic basket, toy bin and diaper bag. Who knew so much junk could be crammed into one little bag. Maybe I’ll actually make room for my wallet.

  97. it seems like no matter how much i “clean” out my purse, its always so unorganized just days afterwards. This giveaway is awesome!

  99. I need to fiber up my bag cause I m in need of a handy yummy eat on the go breakfast. I run out the door every day with coffee and lunch but without breakfast WAY too often!

  139. My purse needs all the help it can get! I lack the organizational skills God gave most people to keep a purse neat and tidy, so you never know what you’re going to find in it. The only thing it does lack is a snack….especially a healthy one! Truthfully I need help in any department that healthifies my snacking!

  142. HaHaHa….have you seen my purse? If so you’d be laughing or maybe crying.
    Its not just a mess, its a wreak and boy does it ever need to be PLUS UPED!!

  144. I need to either go one size up in purses or clean it out because it won’t close. I could also use some help in the fiber department because Christmas potlucks tempt me into eating everything but my veggies – which I’m normally very good at eating.

  147. I need to plus up my purse badly!! It’s too smal and I can never find anything. Pluse I think juice spilled in it a while ago from my LO cup, so it’s kinda sticky! I need a bigger bag for all my kids stuff that accumulates in there! And my husband and kids love the fiberplus bars!
