National Chocolate Day

Today is National Chocolate Day. I love chocolate. I haven't done it yet, but I am tempted to just eat some of our J. hungerford Smith Chocolate Fudge Topping right out of the packet. For those of you who dare, here is a coupon for 5% off. Just use the code CHOCOLATE5OFF (case sensitive) at checkout. It'll be good until Nov. 10th.

Server Upgrade

Not that you want to go to a blog to read about technical happenings at Minimus, but we recently upgraded our server and capacity to continue to enhance the customer experience so the pages load faster. We will be continuing to make tweaks in the coming weeks and months as we also work towards a major software upgrade as well. You really want to read about this, right? Okay, here's a coupon posting instead...

Yet Again, Even More New Products

Our buying spree continues as we add new products to our warehouse inventory and website store. Today, I just added:

Woolite Fabric Wash Packet (we were previously selling this in a 10 pack, but it is now available individually)
Wisk Liquid Laundry Detergent in a 2oz packet
Freshmint Toothpaste .6oz tube
Freshscent Antibacterial Deodorant Soap .5oz
Freshscent Alcohol-Free Mouthwash 2oz

We added the Freshmint and Freshscent products as a cost effective alternative to name brands for the many non-profits that purchase from us for their various projects. We added the Wisk as many customers have asked for a liquid detergent instead of the powdered. More to come soon...

New Products

4 new products arrived onto the site today:

XtraGreen Tea To Go Lemon Beverage Mix
XtraGreen Tea To Go Raspberry Beverage Mix
Frank's Red Hot Buffalo Sandwich Sauce
French's Zesty Deli Mustard

The XtraGreen is a great product... following in the footsteps of the Crystal Light On the Go packets, it is a green tea based mix that can be added to a 16oz bottle of water to create a sugar-free, calorie-free beverage.

And, as a personal fan of the Frank's Red Hot sauce, we had to add the buffalo sandwich sauce when we saw it.

The deli mustard is a given. We've had a lot of people asking for some variety in the deli mustard category, so we added French's.

Enjoy!

A Nice Thank You From a Camping Customer

We get some fun and excited emails from customers... here is another one to share with you:

Hi,

I just read about you in Camping Life magazine and I was so excited about your site I emailed a link to everyone I know. This will make camping so much easier as I hate having to pack small jars of condiments, other food items and toiletries (since you can never find what you want in travel sizes at the store) for a weekend trip. I will definately be placing an order before our next camping trip.

Can't wait to order!

Crystal Light On the Go - Classic Orange

It's finally here... a new flavor of Crystal Light On the Go (in the 20oz water bottle size)... Classic Orange. It has been a long time in the making, but we are one of the first companies to be able to offer the fourth of the Crystal Light On the Go flavors to the public (if you had called Kraft customer service back when the On the Go line first came out, they were sending people to us as we were the only company that offered it retail for awhile). It just went live on the site moments ago. I haven't had a chance to try it yet, but perhaps it'll be in with tomorrow's lunch. Happy shopping!

National Golf Day

Yesterday was National Golf Day (I wonder who came up with that one... the PGA?). We've been supplying a lot of the gift bags for golf events. Event coordinators always come up with interesting items to put in it... Advil, Natrapel Bug Repellent, Band-Aids, sunscreen packets, hand wipes. In the coming weeks, we'll be putting together a pre-packaged golf kit! Look out for it...
