Check out the New 2 Box Cheerios Packaging


I don’t know about your family, but ours goes through A LOT of cereal! We tend to find ourselves buying up a lot of the double packs of cereal when we make our monthly trip to Sam’s Club.

Well, Cheerios is changing the way they do 2 packs. Meet the new 2 box Cheerios.
New 2 box Cheerios contains two individual boxes, making them easier to store and easier to pour!

Plus…..
By reducing the amount of air in each individual bag, these enhanced containers fit 10% more cereal than before and use less packaging.

While each box contains more cereal, packaging material has been reduced by over 200,000 lbs, saving 1,000 trees and taking 130 Cheerios trucks of the road, decreasing CO2 emissions

We are loving the extra space it has freed up in our pantry!

You can see the new packaging yourself by visiting your local Costco, Sam’s Club or BJ’s.

Save Big at Sam’s Club from buying P&G Baby Essentials #MyBlogSpark

Who doesn’t like to save a little extra money? As I have mentioned multiple times before I will save money any which way I can! Our family became members of Sam’s Club back in 2008 when we were expecting Alexander. At the time we figured what better way to save money than to save it while buying diapers, you know an every day baby essential! Now that little Miss Ellie has arrived, we are thrilled that we have kept our Sam’s membership and have already found ourselves stocking up on diapers and wipes every chance we get.

During the month of February, Sam’s Club is giving you the chance to not only save on baby essentials but to earn a $10 Sam’s Club Gift Card too!

Host a Chex Party Mix-change with #Giveaway – Ends 12/22/11

With the Holiday season approaching rather quickly, I know there are a lot of people out there making delicious holiday treats, hosting cooking exchanges and preparing for the holiday. Since we don’t have a lot of extra time right now to prepare holiday treats and sweets while we are preparing for the arrival of our latest bundle of joy, we decided to participate in a Chex Party Mix-change instead.

We spent a large portion of last evening making yummy Chex snacks to share with our friends and family during the holidays.

First we started with a simple Chex Mix with the ingredients as follows:

3 cups Corn Chex® cereal
3 cups Rice Chex® cereal
3 cups Wheat Chex® cereal
1 cup honey roasted peanuts
1 cup bite-size pretzels
1 cup garlic-flavor bite-size bagel chips
6 tablespoons butter or margarine
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons seasoned salt
3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder

We melted the butter in a microwave safe dish and then mixed all of the ingredients together by shaking in a large paper grocery bag.

Once everything was mixed together, we spread it out on a cookie sheet and baked at 250* for 1 hour while mixing it up every 15 minutes.

It turned out soooo good, I actually like it more than the stuff you get in a bag at the store! We also made a big batch of Chex Muddy Buddies too and have been looking at other recipes that we plan to make. Chex has a huge assortment of recipes to fit everyone’s needs including Gluten Free.

With several Chex Party Mix recipes that can be made in just 15 minutes and Sam’s Club stores providing you with everything needed to host a fabulous party, there’s no excuse to not call on family and friends for a celebration.

The great news is we are giving one lucky reader of The Megalomaniac Mommy a chance to have their own Chex Party Mix-change thanks to the folks at Sam’s Club, Chex Party Mix, General Mills and MyBlogSpark.  The lucky winner will receive one $25 Sam’s Club gift card and one box of Chex cereal.
