Xbox video games like Forza 4 and M&M’s are my weakness so putting them together is just insane and makes for an awesome afternoon of snacking and gaming.

Recently I picked up Forza 4 for Xbox which is an awesome driving game along with a HUGE (42oz) bag of peanut M&M’s.  Let me start by saying that after buying the game and M&M’s I couldn’t get home fast enough to open both of my purchases and get my gaming started.  Forza 4 is a game that I can see playing for a long time due to all of the different levels and challenges within the game.   I played Forza 4 for a good two to three hours Saturday afternoon and also put a hurting on the M&M’s.  Thankfully the kids and Melinda had some peanut M&M’s as well because they are one of my weaknesses and I could have eaten the whole bag by myself.  Like I said I played for two to three hours and didn’t even scratch the surface when it comes to cars and tracks but I am looking forward to getting some more free time this weekend and playing again and hopefully upgrading my car and getting some race time on more awesome tracks.

I told Melinda that once I get a hang of Forza 4 and finish the game I want to move onto Forza 5 for Xbox One.  I don’t have an Xbox One but I would buy one just to play Forza 5, LOL, that is just the kind of gamer I am.  When I find a game that I really like playing I will continue to buy and play every game in that series and now that I am hooked on Forza 4 I will continue to play every Forza game that is released in the series.

I just saw a cool promotion that Walmart is going to be offering starting November 22nd when you buy Forza 5 and M&M’s called Buy, Snap, Redeem.  Here are the details:

• Buy Forza 5 game
• Buy participating M&M’s products (+ Participating products include: M&Ms Peanut 42oz Stand Up Pouch, M&Ms Milk 42oz Stand Up Pouch, M&Ms Peanut Butter 38oz Stand Up Pouch, M&Ms Pretzel 30oz Stand Up Pouch, M&Ms Peanut 19.2oz Large Laydown Bag, M&Ms Milk 19.2oz Large Laydown Bag, M&Ms Peanut Butter 18.4oz Large Laydown Bag, M&Ms Pretzel 15.4oz Large Laydown Bag.)
• Snap a photo of qualifying items on the receipt on your phone and text it to 811811
• Redeem:  You will receive a text back with a reward code valid for a $10 eGift card to Walmart.

I like that Walmart is texting back a $10 eGift card just for buying the game and M&M’s.  I love gaming, M&M’s and we shop at Walmart ALL of the time so to me this is a win win.

Christmas is a little over a month away and if you have a gamer on your list who loves driving games you need to check out Forza 4 as well as Forza 5.  You would be the best gift giver this holiday season.

Also be sure to participate in the Pixel Art Instagram competition.

In order to participate, create your own Pixel Art using M&M’s (R) candies and snap an Instagram Photo.   It should be video game and/or racing inspired to celebrate the launch of the new game Forza 5 (think your favorite characters, race cars, car logos, game symbols, weapons, gaming systems etc). Be creative and have fun!

Tag your image with #FueledByM AND #Contest and post the image on Instagram and Twitter.

When people use to tell me about their cheap wireless plan I always thought that cheap meant unreliable but after using Walmart Family Mobile for the last month I no longer believe that.

I have been using the Samsung S4 on #FamilyMobileSaves with Walmart Family Mobile and I have to admit that no contract service is just as if not more reliable than my current provider.  Phone activation was super simple and you can manage your account online just like you would with a contract phone.  To be honest other than the contract I see NO difference what so ever between contract and non contract phones.  At first I was a little concerned since I started using the no contract service during football season which is extremely important to me but so far no problems at all. I have had no dropped calls and the data speed rocks so I haven’t missed a beat at all especially when it comes to my fantasy football teams.

Football season is the time when I am on my phone the most.  I am typically always on my phone (LOL)  but during football season I tend to kick it up a notch and that has a lot to do with fantasy football.  I love having real time scores at my fingertips at all times and real time stats especially since I am in three different fantasy leagues.  I am so ridiculous when it comes to football that I keep one page on my phone dedicated to apps that I use most during the football season.  I know to some fantasy football seems silly but playing in these leagues allows me to be more into games that I would otherwise not really care about.  Plus two of the leagues I am in are for money so that adds more pressure to the mix but who doesn’t like to win money based on how others play, LOL.

So like I said I am a month in using #FamilyMobileSaves with Walmart Family Mobile and I am extremely impressed.  Great service, awesome prices and their phone selection rocks.  I can’t ask for anything more than what I have experienced over the last month so if your current provider is bleeding you dry take a look at Walmart Family Mobile.  I think you will be happy with what you discover like I was.
