GIVEAWAY: Low On Cash? Send Your Valentine A Hug Bug From Cheryl’s Cookies

If you’re currently low on funds this time of year, you’re certainly not alone. I mean the most expensive holiday is finally behind us, but who has the money to spend on Valentine’s Day?

The thing is, it really doesn’t take a lot to get your point across in showing your sweetie what they mean to you. Just the act of letting them know they’re in your thoughts by way of a card or even a hand written letter is, in my opinion, very sweet. Why spend $5 – $6 on a card that was written by someone else and doesn’t really reflect how you feel? I know I can never find one that truly says all that I want to say.

Thanks to Cheryl’s Cookies, YOU can send a sweet surprise for just $5 (includes shipping). One that’s sure to bring a smile to your Valentine.

Cheryl’s has two different varieties to choose from — Pink Hearts and Hug Bug Cookie Greetings. I’ve tried Cheryl’s sugar cookies before and they are really good — nice and soft. And the buttercream icing is oh so creamy (not too sweet)!

Mmm, I could just take a huge bite out of one now!

The Pink Hearts Cookie Greeting is a cut-out heart shaped sugar cookie that’s frosted with Cheryl’s popular buttercream frosting in pink. And the Hug Bug is a cut-out heart shaped cookie that’s frosted in red with buttercream frosting and decorated with candies, giving the cookie an adorable bug look.

Each cookie greeting is shipped in a Valentine’s Day box and includes a $5 Reward Card.

Which part of this lovable bug would you eat first? 

Although these would make the perfect gift for children, I’m quite sure there are lots of adults out there that would LOVE receiving a special Hug Bug or heart shaped Cookie Greeting. Who doesn’t love cookies? hehee!

Considering the cost of Valentine’s Day cards, boxes of candy and roses, a cookie greeting sure would cost a lot less and still be a gift that is memorable. Not to mention tasty! And hey, you can probably afford to send out several, making sure that all of your loved ones receive something special… even delivered to their door.

GIVEAWAY: General Mills Cereals ~ Fast Lane For Whole Grain

When it comes to grocery shopping, finding a healthy yet tasty cereal can be a little time consuming. Especially if you’re like me and stopping to check each and every nutrition label.

I want the best in nutrition for my family BUT it also has to taste good because let’s face it, if it doesn’t taste mouthwatering, kids are more than likely not going to eat it.

General Mills has taken a little bit of the guesswork out of this weekly task by including a white “check mark” on their cereals that contain Whole Grain as the first ingredient. That means that these cereals contain more whole grain than any other ingredient.

WHERE TO FIND THE GM WHITE “CHECK MARK”:

• Total
• Honey Nut Cheerios
• Cheerios
• Lucky Charms
• Cinnamon Toast Crunch
• and many more

 

Now I know what you’re thinking — when looking at the list above, a few of those probably wouldn’t be on your “radar” of whole grain cereals, right? Especially the Lucky Charms and Cinnamon Toast Crunch.

I mean we’ve tried nearly each and every one of those and seeing that the later two are our favorites, maybe because they taste so unhealthy, I was quite surprised to find that their main ingredient was whole grain. To be honest, now I don’t feel so guilty in serving these to my family. hehee!

We recently had the opportunity to try all 5 of the above listed General Mills cereals and I have to be honest here. The first thing I did after seeing the line up is flip the box and look at the nutrition labels to compare the group. I was pretty darned amazed when I found that each of these have nearly identical nutritional values including fat, and calories. No way, right? Yes way!

This goes to show… you can’t judge a food by it’s cover! It does pay to read the labels but thanks to General Mills, spotting the healthy choices in the cereal aisle is now even easier.

So what did we think of the whole grain-infused cereals? Well, first answer this question… “Can you see the difference in the Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cereal?” Click on the image if you need a closer look.

No? I didn’t think so.

And guess what. You don’t taste any difference either. The Cinnamon Toast Crunch is just as yummy as ever. It’s my favorite. Can you tell? hehee! I LOVE cinnamon and sugar together, which is why I figured this one HAD to be unhealthy but, it isn’t.

Want help in selecting more Whole Grain foods in your supermarket? Check out the Fast Lane for Whole Grain educational game, created by General Mills.

You’ll be navigating through virtual aisles and competing to locate and grab products that contain whole grain as the first ingredient. Be on the look out for that white check. They’re guaranteed to have it. Once you’re finished you’ll be entered to win 50+ boxes of General Mills cereals (that’s one of each box). Wow, that’s a lot of cereal!

The sweepstakes ends March 18, 2012.

CAN’T WAIT UNTIL THEN? Well guess what… one lucky Bella so Savvy reader is going to win the very same line up of 5 General Mills cereals that I reviewed above. Enter below…
