Okay, so today I am back from vacation and I actually have things to blog about. Cool huh? Yeah, It's been a while, but it's all gonna be okay.
So what do I have for you today? PACKAGE BUDDY for Android. I recently acquired an Android OS phone and I have been on the search or some of the best apps out there.
I enjoy getting mail and love tracking packages as they are on their way to me. I also ship a moderate amount of packages and l like to know when they are received.
Introducing PACKAGE BUDDY.
You download it, start it up, and work out your settings, and add a tracking number. Now the links I have included are for the $1.49 version of the app, but there is also a free version that is ad supported.
What is my favorite thing about it? Bar Code Scanning!!!
If you go to their WEBSITE you can enter your tracking info and they will create a QR code which you can scan into their software with your phone's camera. You can also scan the actual shipping barcode to input tracking information. I have a UPS package outgoing today and I was able to scan it and now I'll know when it gets back to Amazon safely.
You can also pull up a map to see the routing of the tracked package with Google Maps. It's worth at least checking out. I'll be donating by buying the ad-free version and if you like it, you should too. These guys actually made a great app and should be rewarded appropriately.
Also, the free version is not a "lite" version or anything like that. The only difference is ads and I have much respect for any developer that will not cripple their own software just to try and get to you pay for a "PRO" version.
Have a good one and feel free to leave some feedback.

Idahoan Mashed Potato Cups
Idahoan Buttery Homestyle Mashed Potatoes (single serving cup)
If you've ever tried potatoes in a box, you know it's a tricky thing to find one that's good. If you've ever tried Idahoan brand, you'll know it can be a little tricky to cook them right, but once you do, you won't hesitate to buy them again.
While I was browsing through the grocery store the other day, I was wandering down the aisle that has all the mac n cheese, potatoes, pasta, etc and I saw in a basket off the shelf these little cups. They were a dollar a piece, but the special on them this week was Buy One, Get One. I grabbed two and threw them in the cart and was on my way.
The next day, I was sitting at home and was starting to get hungry for something other than junk food. I remembered that I had dropped a buck on those potato cups and thought I'd go make some. I read the instruction, prepared it, ate it, and rather enjoyed it. Nice and buttery, easy to make, not all that bad for you.
I decided to review this for two reasons. I know a lot of people can appreciate a quick snack of mashed potatoes and I really enjoyed this one. Details after the video.
Pros: Quick, easy, cheap, tasty, perfect portions
Cons: A lot of sodium (about a 3rd of DV), potential allergies (Milk, Soy), flatware cleanup is a little tough
This comes highly recommended for a few target groups. College students who don't always want top ramen and hot pocket, after school snack for high school kids trying to bulk up the old fashioned way, and this is also an amazing side to your work lunch when you bring leftovers that almost require some kind of hearty side.
In conclusion, 4 out of 5 Stars on this one. I am not a label reader, so the sodium deal is not an issue to me. Prepackaged foods always are high in sodium and I only put salt on eggs, so I think I'm good with that. Great snack (I'm eating one now) and is a bit filling when you want something to be. I might not pay a dollar a piece, but I'd buy the 4 or 6 pack at a cost of like $.75 a piece.
If you want any info on the app I used to convert the microwave times, please click on the link to download it from the Apple Store. I really like this app, and I have given it 5 Stars in the app store. If nothing else, please download it (it's free) and rate it 5-Stars for the developer. MICROWAVE_CONVERTER_APP
