General Mills cereal $1 off printable coupon

Are you a cereal lover?  My family is!!  And, General Mills is one of their favorite brands!  They can’t get enough of all the different varieties.  It’s a challenge to keep my stockpile stash untouched while the “opened” boxes are eaten.

Looking to save on your next purchase? Print a coupon for $1 off one of four General Mills cereals.

Why should you love General Mills?  One good reason is that they made a commitment to further reduce sugar in cereals advertised to kids under 12 to single digit grams of sugar per serving.  Healthy is Cool!

MyBlogSpark provided the following information about General Mills as well:

Did you know that ready-to-eat cereal eaters consume less fat, less cholesterol and more fiber than non-cereal eaters? Cereals also deliver important vitamins, minerals and other essential nutrients, making cereal a top source of key nutrients in children’s diets.
Other cereal benefits:

• Ready-to-eat cereals, including presweetened cereals, account for only 5% of sugar in children’s diets.
• Ready-to-eat cereal is the No. 1 source of whole grains in a child’s diet today.
• More frequent cereal eaters tend to have healthier body weights and lower Body Mass Index measures.

Studies also demonstrate the benefits of eating breakfast. A 1998 study showed that children who eat breakfast tend to perform better at school. Compared to children who skip breakfast, children who eat breakfast score higher on tests, are less likely to miss class or be tardy, have fewer reported discipline problems, and make fewer trips to the office.

Review of the Betty Crocker Cookies Magazine coverpage

I received my free copy of the Betty Crocker Cookies & bars magazine the other day from MyBlogSpark and I can say it is definitely hard to flip through it without getting hungry by just looking at the pictures!  Have you see these magazines in the stores?  They are filled with oodles of delicious and amazing recipes. 

Anyways, I have the chance again to vote on their Christmas magazine and for me it was a hands down choice.  I picked the middle book which displays a variety of yummy cookies.  The other two books didn’t scream for recipes to me.  Holiday theme, yes.  Cookies recipes, no.  Which one of the pics do you like? 

There are 74 recipes cards with perforations so you can tear them out and put in your recipe box. These recipes include:

• Great-tasting new twists on the classics--Chocolate-Peppermint Shortbread, Glazed Toffee Bonbons, Brown Sugar Cutouts
• Choco-Hazelnut Latte Cookies, Chocolate-Peanut Butter Cookies and other prize-winners from our Mix it Up with Betty! Cookie Mix Recipe Contest. Submitted by home cooks, these recipes are perfect for gift-giving, cookie exchanges and your holiday goodie tray.
• Best-ever brownies collection including Dulce de Leche-Chocolate Brownies and Chocolate-Cashew Brownies
• Plus homemade candies like Chocolate-Topped Sea Salt Caramels, Extra-Nutty Peanut Brittle and Black-and-White Truffles
• All recipes have been thoroughly tested and tasted in the Betty Crocker Test Kitchens and are accompanied by a color photo and complete nutrition information.

The cover receiving the most votes will be featured on the issue of the magazine which goes on sale November 10 and I’ll be excited to see which cover was the winner!  Thanks to MyBlogSpark!

Simplify your morning with a Honey Kix cereal giveaway

MyBlogSpark definately started a fight in my family.  Yep, I have 3 kids.  I received 1 Honey Kix prize package.  So, who’s gonna share?  Anyone who has multiple kids knows that you generally buy things in multiples to avoid the dreaded fights, right?  Right!

Enter the Honey Kix Prize pack into my household!  See everything in the picture?  Yeah.  Cool, huh!?

So, what’s there to fight about with this prize pack?  Well, for starters the cereal is yummy and it will go ahead so it’s everything else that is left to cause a fight.

The awesome cereal container that I’ve always wanted to have which has the perfect spout for little kiddos to pour without making a mess.  Perfect to pour right into the single solitaire bowl provided in the prize pack.  Single, solitary.  In a household with three kids. Yeah, you heard me! 

Oh, and then we move on to the oh so cool travel cup that Mommie snagged and the honey jar that Daddy scooped up.  OK, that part of the prize package was solved easily enough. 

The only thing missing was a spoon for my kids to fight over. 

Want to win your own to fight over too?  I have one prize pack to giveaway from MyBlogSpark. The prize pack will include a coupon for a free box of cereal, a honey jar, a set of colorful cereal bowls, a container to take your cereal and milk on-the-go, and a great container to keep cereal fresh at home.  (I might add that the prize pack may vary because I only received one bowl like in the picture and not a set!  Just saying)
