#GM Go-Gurts + #Target Gift Card #Giveaway #MyBlogSpark

4:26 PM
I am so glad it is Thanksgiving this week and that I have the opportunity to share this. One of the things I am most grateful for (outside of my family) is that opportunities my blog has given to me. I am so thankful for the PR people and the companies that trust me to review and giveaway their products. I am thankful for the chance to try sometimes new products, and sometimes ones Ihave tried before but that have something new to offer. 
Today the review/giveaway I get to share with you is a product I know and love and have loved for some time, but now it is even more awesome! The product I am talking about is Go-Gurt! 
If you have kids (or if you are a fan of on the go yogurt) you are probably aware of the Go-Gurt brand! I will tell you it is a favorite (and a commonly begged for) snack at our house. Not to mention a staple when we are packing lunches for school (though they eat hot lunch at school most of the time). With it being so popular here at the Beckee's Deals house, I was delighted to get the chance to review and giveaway some.
A little over a week ago, this arrived in my mailbox.
I quickly drove the 45 minutes to my nearest Target store and turned it into this:
Which meant when my kids came home they were overjoyed! They began eating them right away and thought they had the "best mom ever" (direct quote from one of the kids).
Needless to say, we loved the Go-Gurts and were so happy to review them. I loved the Strawberry Mango Tango twisted ones! So good! The kids truely loved them all.
AND did you know that now Go-Gurt is made with natural colors and flavors, and contains no high-fructose corn syrup! It is still a good source of calcium and is fun and easy to eat as well! ANd one of my favorite things is that they are made so they can be frozen and put into a lunchbox to thaw by lunch time! GENIUS idea!!

We loved our Go-Gurt prize pack (including 5 FREE Go-Gurt coupons and a $25 Target gift card), and would LOVE to share one with a Beckee's Deals reader! So, enter below on the Giveaway Tools widget for your chance to win!

#GM Monster Cereal + #Target Gift Card #Giveaway #MyBlogSpark

12:05 PM
I cannot express how blessed I feel to be asked to review so many great products. This is a particularly fun one because it brought me back to my youth! I remember as a kid waiting through the rest of the year for late September when these favorite cereals would come back for the holiday:
Oh boy was it ever a treat when my parents would let us get one! Count Chocula, FrankenBerry, and Boo Berry can often be found this time of year still, but Yummy Mummy, and Frute Brute have been gone for a while. But guess what?! Target is going back in time with exclusive retro packaging, AND they are re-introducing two throwback flavors: Fruity Yummy Mummy and Frute Brute!

And thanks to General Mills through MyBlogSpark I got the chance to try out some of these fine cereals and to share them with my family. AND I have a sweet deal to share with you, as well as a giveaway! Yipee!!! 

What is it and What is the DEAL?

Well, I guess I already told you what it is above-but to review, it is AWESOME retro cereals! And here is the deal, available exclusively at Target!

When you buy three (3) General Mills Monster Cereals in a single shopping trip at Target now through the end of the month (October 31, 2013), you’ll receive a free Monster Bash Magazine full of recipes, tips and tricks for you to have the creepiest, scariest, spookiest, most fun Halloween ever! 

Awesome!

Where can you get more information?
Check out this great website: http://www.grocerysavvy.com/
Or even just stop in at your local Target store and look for these cereals! 

What did we think?

Before I answer that, let me tell you what I got to review. 

I was so happy that we were sent 3 flavors of cereal: Boo Berry, Fruity Yummy Mummy and Frute Brute, as well as a $25 gift card to Target so I could go pick up some more cereal! 
I had all 5 of my kids, my husband and myself all taste test the cereal. I will say this-all were a hit, though everyone had their own favorite. And apparently our family is not super fond of Orange cream flavored cereal because the Fruity Yummy Mummy was the least favorite (though still liked). I liked Boo Berry best. Most of the kids liked the Frute Brute best, and my husband liked them all. He noted that they are particularly good cereals to put in milk then drink the milk after. I am not a fan of milk with cereal, but if you like to drink milk from the bowl after you eat the cereal, Wes says these are great cereals for that!
So, after I took all the pics for the review and was ready to write it, I went to work on a few things, came back in the kitchen and found my youngest sitting at the table having helped himself to more cereal. So, I set up the cereal in a way the camera could catch it and recorded this little video of what he thought:



I guess I don't need to tell you that he was a big fan of all of the cereals.
I am thinking the time frame to get these cereals is coming to a close, so you ought to run out and grab some at Target while you can-and grab that free magazine while you are at it.
What can you win? (Here's the giveaway part!)
Of course, you always have the chance to win some cereal from me as well, so you might as well enter and try to win!

LOVE #General Mills and their new Hershey's Cookies and Creme cereal #myblogspark

3:24 PM
Hey there friends, please continue to read this post and find out why I LOVE General Mills, but also head over to this post and enter my #GIVEAWAY of the product in this review!

I love being able to share new products with you! I love to try new products and when I love them, I want to tell all my friends and family all about them! That being said, I have been very absent from the blog for quite some time (have you noticed?) That is because I have been moving across the country! We relocated from Arizona to Washington state. And I am still crazily trying to unpack and organize my new home, but there is a product I really, REALLY want to tell you about! A product I got to try, realized I loved, THEN realized that it was made by a brand that I ADORE!! So, let me just tell you about it!
What is it? 
I was asked, through MyBlogSpark to try out and review the NEW Hershey's Cookies 'n' Creme cereal from Big G (General Mills). 
Here's a little about the cereal (as provided to me from MyBlogSpark and General Mills:
With an irresistible taste the whole family will love from a brand you trust, new Hershey’s Cookies ‘n’ Creme cereal is made from 100% whole grains with at least 14g of whole grain per serving (at least 48g recommended daily). Best of all, Hershey’s Cookies ‘n’ Creme cereal has only 9 grams of sugar per serving and is a good source of Calcium, Vitamin D, and 10 other essential vitamins and minerals. 
What did we think?

OK, so I mentioned that I was sent some of this awesome cereal to try. I was actually sent all of this:

Which looks like this when unpacked:

Fabulous, right? We thought so. We got the package for this review RIGHT as we were leaving for our move. We actually took the first picture of the contents of the package then we put it right in a box (the movers were there when we got it). Well, we boxed up all but the cereal. The cereal we ate-and we loved! Loved so much we have bought many boxes in our travels!

I thought it was like eating a cookie for breakfast, but not so sugary sweet (as far as my taste buds were concerned). I loved the flavors and the textures, and my kids loved it even more. Oh-let me give you a peek into the box:


And guess what?! It tastes even better than it looks! I would absolutely buy this cereal (and have bought it) for myself, my husband and my kids-we ALL give it a double thumbs up! LOVE it!

So, Beckee loves the cereal, tell us why she loves General Mills so much?! 

I was so excited when I noticed that this is a General Mills cereal because recently my sister had a fabulous experience with General Mills and her young autistic son. I loved General Mills before, ut now I adore them and I am brand loyal for life! I asked my sister to write about her experience so I can share it with you. Here's what she had to say:

I recently had an amazing experience with General Mills.  My son with Autism has been saving his money to purchase General Mills boxes with the collectible Mini-Minions from Despicable Me 2.  He was finally able to collect 7 of the 8 mini-minions and was so excited.  He played with them all the time and kept them in a safe place at home when he wasn't playing with them.  Unbeknownst to us, his little brother got a hold of 5 of them and brought them to a very busy local event and promptly lost them!  My son was devastated when he came home to find only 2 of his mini-minions in his room.  He cried for hours.  We went to several stores to see if we could find more cereal boxes with mini-minions, but they were nowhere to be found.  I put a plea on facebook to all my friends asking if they had any of these mini-minions and if they'd be willing to part with them.  I put a comment on the "Lucky Charms" facebook page asking how I could find more of them.  Imagine my surprise when I got a personal message from a member of the Lucky Charms team at General Mills offering to send my son an entire set of all 8 mini-minions for FREE and include some coupons for cereal as well!  After I emailed her back with my mailing address I recieved another email from her saying that the Lucky Charms team at General Meals had discussed our situation and wanted to send us not one, but TWO full sets of mini-minions-1 for each of my boys involved in the situation!  When I told my son that they were going to do that he was thrilled!!  I have not seen an expression of relief and pure joy like that ever before!  Thank you General Mills and Lucky Charms for taking the time to help us out with this!  It may seem like a small thing to most people, but to a child with Autism this is HUGE!!  

Thank you!!

I love, love to support any company that will help their customers like that! You have no clue what a big deal this was to my nephew!

Where to connect with General Mills:


I am so grateful to MyBlogSpark and General Mills for letting me try the fantastic new Hershey's Cookies 'n' Creme cereal. It is fantastic! Go buy some-you will get a great cereal, support a great company and your tummy will thank you! :)
