I am going to be really honest here... and I hate to admit this, but no matter how hard I try I can never remember exactly how many Days Ago I opened Connor's juice. I KNOW your only supposed to use them for seven days but every time I open the fridge I end up questioning myself and in the end I am sure I have ended up throwing out juice well before its gone bad.
Enter the Days Ago timer. I actually saw these cute little gadgets for the first time when I was browsing a magazine in my doctor's office. I thought for a few seconds about how adorable they were and went along my merry way. A few months later I kept thinking about how useful they would be for this, or that, and you know I never imagined just how many things you could use the Days Ago Timers for!
I have the magnet versions on the outside of my fridge, one of which is counting down the days since I gave the dogs their heart worm pills (another thing I hate to admit I sometimes forget) and another one counts down the days since I opened that juice bottle.
The amount of uses for them by far does not stop there. You can use them in the fridge to time food or one of my favorite uses is on houseplants to keep track of how many Days Ago did you water that plant. If you have small children and a "caged" pet you could attach one to the outside of the cage to keep track of when to clean the cage too.
The possibilities are endless.. and I would love to hear about how you would use the Days Ago timers!!
Day's Ago is available on their webpage or on Amazon!

OOOOOH of course I would have to say the PINK special edition ones!! PINK FREAK HERE!
I would have to use them on my plants (LOL) I never remember when to water or how long ago it was when I watered them.
I am also adding this contest to my "giveaways" section.

I like the "Band" version, I would love to use it for baby food and medicines
Thanks!

I think the band style would be the most versatile. We never use a whole jar of spaghetti sauce and never can remember when we opened it. So we are always throwing away half used jars.
When does this contest end? It says the 10th but you posted it on the 13? Just wondering.
The food versions are cool... we have mystery jars in the back of our fridge with unknown expiration dates. ha!
I like the magnetic ones. I would use is for baby food. I always have opened jars and can't remember when I opened them so it just goes to waste. katebeth45 (at) gmail (dot) com
I have always wanted these!! My favorite are the band attachment, because I think they would work with more items that we use than others. Right now we would definitely use them on the juice and the pasta sauce. Who knows how many days those have been in there?! Once we have another baby, they would be sooo handy for baby food!
I like both the band and the magnetic ones. I don't know about eveyone else, but suction cups just never seem to last for me.
I definetly need this for my tomato sauce jars!
I would use the band on the bird cage to remind my family to change her cage
I love the band and magnetic ones. What an ingenious invention! I would definetly use them for the eggs. They would also be useful for some fresh juices, shredded cheese, sour cream, hotdogs, bacon and cream cheese since you are suppose to use most of them within 7 days of opening. Let's face it, with a 3 year old active son and 15 year old daughter, remembering anything is a daily challenge. This really keeps the guesswork and useless waste of food to a minamum. With the cost of food nowadays, that's a really good thing!

I like the suction cup ones since it can be placed on anything but I also like the magnetic ones too - oh and the ones with the elastic bands are good too for bottles... I can't decide. All 3?
I would like the suction cup ones in pink. I would use it to put on leftovers, so I know when to throw them out.

no favorate like all that i see
the band style for leftovers.
I love the special edition pink days ago. I would use it for leftovers, watering plants, litter box, and for wine bottles. so many uses! awesome giveaway, i heard about these a while back and have been very interested. thanks!
blogged ya:

thanks!
You did good! What a wonderful gadget you have found. This family has needed one of these for a very long time! I like the magnetic version.
I could use it in my gardening area to keep track of the last time I feritlized or sprayed my flowers. In the kitchen, it would keep track of opened applesauce jars, juice, etc. Please enter me in your drawing! Thanks very much, Cindi

These are sosososo clever! I am always putting frozen chicken in the fridge to thaw and forgetting how long it's been there. I know, I know, I need a better strategy, and Days Ago is it!
I think either the magnetic timers for the fridge door or even the bands to wrap around food would be awesome. Hey, I'm not picky, I just want to stop throwing money out with the rotten chicken!
Another awesome use would be to count down the days until I need to swap out the AC filters. We all have allergies, and we'd really benefit from doing a better job with this one.
I love it! I so want to win! My email address is in my blog profile.
what a great idea!! I love the pink ones and think it's a great idea for so many things, but love the fish tank idea!
the band seems the most versatile
I gotta go with the special edition pink cause that's just me! I first saw these on Oprah, such a simple but cool idea!
pink for me!
Hmmm. I think those might be good for medications that I always forget to take. I'm not sure, but maybe the magnet would be best for that so I could keep it on my fridge for the countdown!
I would totally go for the band version of days ago. I've had these on my amazon wish list foreve and would love to give them a try. My primary intention would be to use them for babyfood, but I can imgagine it would be useful for leftovers too.
Thanks

I love the whole idea of these timers. My favorite was the blue timer and I could find tons of ways to use it. For leftovers, baby food,
also for dough mixtures...I often make my own bread. This would be great to win I also subscribed to your mailing list. THANKS!
hottmomma_03@yahoo.com
I don't know if I want to know "how many days since". Yikes! I love the Special Edition Pink DaysAgo to support a great cause.
I also love the pink ones and I would use them for my plants & probably my milk in the fridge. I usually just give it the smell-test - ew!
I love the suction ones! I would totally use it for salso and tomato sauce! I can never remember hold old they are!
The suction cup ones would be useful to me...I'd use them on the window above my plant shelf to remind me when I last watered.
I like them all. My mother in law uses masking tape to write dates on things. I would love for her to have one of these for her birthday.
I'd use the suction cup ones to attach to the top of my rubbermaid containers of leftovers. I never can remember when I cooked what. :0) Thanks! ( meg.wilson@gmail.com )
The band style for leftovers please...these are so cool...great idea!! Thanks..
stbaisch[at]yahoo[dot]com
I like the pink to honor breast cancer. Thanks for the chance.
The band attachment is most versatile and therefore most useful to us.
I'd use the suction cup ones to attach to the top of my rubbermaid containers of leftovers.
wow is this a great idea or what. I could really use this on all our leftovers
I like the magnetic days ago timer...and i'd keep it on my fridge and I'd also use it for juice...because he doesn't drink it really fast, so this way I can keep track of how old it is.
Wow, these are awesome! I would go for the band type since I would use them to keep up with how long the baby food jars have been opened.
Thanks!
Marissa :)

I really like the magnetic ones - so many options for places to put it, but it would probably end up on my fridge. :)
I would get your Suction DaysAgo (2/pack)for my leftovers. I can never remember when I put them in the fridge.
I like the band ones, my family never finishes a full jar of speghetti sauce, or apple sauce, etc. We do leftovers a lot so these would be great for that!
nifferjeno at gmail dot com
Wow!!
I never saw these before. I'd use it on leftovers, etc. The magnetic is my favorite :)
The suction one would be my first pick- these would be so handy for us! I'm not very good at cleaning the fridge, but my in-laws who babysit often seem to think that anything in the fridge is fair game to feed my son, no matter how bad it smells!
the magnetic ones are my favorite...would give to daughter who has 2 little ones...thanks so much! :)
I like the suctions ones that go directly on bottles...this would be a PERFECT solution for expressed breast milk. I LOVE this idea. I may buy some. I hope I win, too. Thanks for the link!!!
I could use the one with the band for on my bird cage to remind me to clean his cage.
for my daughter sitting on the toilet
I LUV them all! I can think of a million and one uses for each variety. The magnetic or the banded ones would be great to have for the baby food jars. I always forget how long they have been open, and I will throw out the food. It makes me sick to throw away what might be good food (and good money).
Great giveaway!
Consider yourself blogged:

Thanks for another great giveaway Angela!
Love the band style for my "special dinners" that dont go over so well!
I like the suction once....these will be great for baby food and especially for leftovers that are in opaque containers...i always end up forgetting when they are from an then i open them to a bad surprise!
I like the suction kind for keeping track of leftovers and keeping track of watering the plants!
I like the magnet version the best I think. My biggest reason for wanting one is for open jars in the fridge (like salsa, etc)
This is such a great idea. I would use it for all the leftovers that we loose track of in the back of the fridge. Or wait, I think I'd use it for the cat's litter box - to remind my husband how long it's been since he cleaned it. I would choose the suction cup kind.
Thanks!

I need this for the litter box - it's my husband's job and he's always claiming he JUST did it!
I'm with you on the juice! I never know how long it's been in there..I like the idea for the catbox that Mommy posted! It's a brilliant idea.
They're all great- the suction cup is the one I like best.

I love the special edition pink. I would use it for leftovers in the fridge.
carissaad at gmail dot com
I like the band style and would use it to remind me about medications and to water my plants, thanks for the giveaway!
I would get the Suction DaysAgo pack because I would be using it on tupperware most of the time. I am trying to save money by using leftovers better, but I always am worried that I've left them in there too long, and I throw them out. This would help out sooo much!
I like the suction cup type and I'd use it to keep track of when the litterbox was last changed.
I like the magnetic ones!
I think the band style would probably be the best for me. I love all the home ideas it gave such as watering plants, changing filters, etc. What a neat idea!
We would use the suction ones for sure! My son always has juice, leftovers, canned fruit, etc and I ALWAYS forget! I've tried to write with a sharpie on it...but even that doesn't stay well on some surfaces! Thanks for the contest.
i love the suction cup ones. i'm forever opening jars and cans and then forgetting how long they've been open. i have two year old twins so i'm getting more and more forgetful!
awesome contest! I would love to have the special edition pink one for myself...thanks!
The suction one for leftovers!
These are awesome! The pink suction style is my favorite.
I like the suction pack because we always have a zillion containers in the fridge that are "how old is this?" foods.
The magnetic ones are nice for baby food jars, but honestly I could use any of them. My husband is always saying, "Should I throw this out? When did we open this?"
leanna at benandleanna dot com
I love the suction ones! I like the idea of using it to remind about changing cat litter!
ignoramoose(at)gmail(dot)com
I would love this for breast milk and other baby leftovers - we are always forgettign dates!
My fave? the bands days ago (liek blue best)
rap9r(at)hotmail(dot)com
So cool! I like the suction cup kind the best. I'd use one for the litter box(we never can keep up with who cleaned it when) and one(or more!) for food leftovers
ditto I like the band one
Suction one for my large fish tank, for feeding time
tiramisu392 (at) yahoo.com
These are great and the possibilities are endless for a forgetful mom like myself...I love the magnetic ones. I'd use one to help me remember when to change the Brita filter, and maybe even to tell me how long since I've last been woken up at night by the kids so I could prove to my husband once and for all how sleep deprived I truly am!
sanna1999 at verizon dot net
I'd go with the band Days Ago to use on baby formula that I've mixed and stored in the fridge.
I would have to say the PINK special edition ones!!
I think I would get the most use out of the band ones. My use would be to replace the furnace filter, I always forget to do that.
What a great invention. I'm so bad with keeping track of dates and how old things are. I like the Magnetic DaysAgo! I would use it when storing left over food in the frig.
I would pick the suction timers for the baby food and the food my mother-in-law cans!
i think i'd get the band daysago so i can wrap it around my cheese, i always forget when i opened it and i find out just how old it is when it's already in my mouth, ewwww!
i'd definitely use the suction daysago to put it on my tuperware to see how long leftovers have been in the fridge. great product!
thank you for the great contest

the magnetic ones to go with my little food containers in the fridge
OMgosh, this is great for the breast milk, juice or anything!! I love them!! I want to have one on everything in my fridge and counter!! LOL
I love that they have a pink edition! I like those!
Im also a subscriber!
dansan826 at yahoo.com
I like the suction style. Using it for my dogs heartworm/flea meds would be great. Love that idea!
The Magnetic Days Ago Timer. I would use it on the fridge for when we cook meals. Also when I need to change the Finches water.
Thanks for bringing the timer to my attention, we could use it for all kinds of things. I'm excited.
Mammalnut2000@yahoo.com
I would probably like the suction cups to put on leftovers to remind me how many "days ago" I put them in.
what a wonderful idea!!! especially for breast milk or baby food... i love the pink one lol..
I like the band style. I would use it on soy milk in the fridge
I think I'd go with the band style and I'd use it for my egg beaters cartons. I always forget when I've opened them!
Love the pink!
I like the Special Edition Pink DaysAgo and I would use it for leftovers and most things in my freezer.

The suction ones seem the most versatile!
I'm going with the suction bands, and i'd use them FOR SURE in my 'fridge. Everything goes in there to grow hair and turn green. These would be put to good use on everything in that cold box.
I would use the suction bands for the leftovers in my fridge. I can never remember when I made food. This could save us a lot of money and grief!
I like both the band and the magnetic ones. i would use it for juice and leftovers.
Wow....my imagination can go wild here....how many days ago...I'd have to have several to help keep up on home projects...I seem to start but don't get back to them. This would be a great reminder. The band or magnetic would both work.

future2010@verizon.net
I would have so many uses but the main one would be as a reminder for my daughter to change her cats litter box. I would get the suction cup style for that.
The suction style is my favorite. I would attach one on the fridge for leftovers, food, wine etc. and one in the garage for oil changes and other auto maintenance.
Love the band and magnetic ones! Great for keeping track of when we take our meds or whatever!
I like the magnetic ones
rosans4@insightbb.com
I'd use the suction ones for my leftovers. Its so hard to just cooke for 2 adults and 1 toddler we always have leftovers!
I need the suction timers. My fish, Mister Pointy, is supposed to eat every three days. I think that I sometimes over feed him.
