Slurpees Go Low-Cal

by Robert on May 15, 2012

Share

If you’re sensitive to sugar like me, you may have wondered why 7-Eleven doesn’t make a sugar-free version of Slurpees.

Starting May 23, they will.

The new product line, called Slurpee Lite, will introduce three sugar-free Slurpee flavors: mango, cherry limeade and strawberry banana. Additional flavors will be added throughout the year.

Slurpee Lite has roughly half the calories of a regular Slurpee. An 8-ounce cup of Slurpee Lite will set you back about 20 calories—not too bad.

Now you can pig out on junk food and watch your waistline at the same time.

P.S. – Get a free Slurpee Lite on May 23 between 11 a.m. and 7 p.m. at any 7-Eleven.

Happy Mother’s Day from WholesaleInsurance.net!

We’ve been blogging in anticipation of Mother’s Day for a few weeks now and it’s finally here!

Here’s a full rundown of the blog topics we’ve covered over the past two weeks:

Are you Prepared for Mother’s Day?

A Mother’s Day Gift Idea

Stay-at-home Moms, Don’t Forget to Buy Life Insurance

How Much is a Stay-at-Home Mom Worth?

Women Comprise 49% of the Labor Force

Working Moms Need Life Insurance, Too

Single Moms, Don’t Forget Life Insurance

43% of Women Don’t Have Life Insurance

Whether she’s a working mom, a single mom or a stay-at-home mom, mothers do a heck of a lot.

Working moms bring in income and care for their children; we learned that stay-at-home moms provide a great financial asset to the family while caring for their children; and single moms, well, let’s just say they literally do it all!

Unfortunately, too many mothers don’t protect their value with life insurance. More women than men lack life insurance, and of those women who have life insurance, they generally have less coverage than men.

One estimate shows that a stay-at-home mom provides over $100,000 of value each year, taking into account the work mom spends providing childcare, doing grocery shopping, cleaning the house, driving the kids around town and more.

If she doesn’t have it already, encourage mom consider her own value and buy life insurance. Doing so will help her protect her financial value and her family.

So this year, give your mom a big hug and tell her how much she means to you. It will make her smile, I guarantee it.
