How much Cereal do you eat??

Here in our house we eat a ton of cereal! My kids eat an average of two bowls almost every morning. Then some of us adults will poor a bowl for a afternoon, or evening snack. In a month we can easily go through about 10-15 boxes… Can I tell you how expensive that can be?? So, I always make it a point to stock up on the coupons for when I can find my B1G1 Free deals. Yup, I hate paying full price for a box of cereal…. it can be anywhere from $3-$6 now isn’t that NUTS!!!! Absurd I say!

I know your all looking at this with your eyes bugging out…How can I let my kids eat so much sugar coated cereal?? Well, calm down…. I don’t allow much sugar cereal in my house. My kids favorites include Cheerio's (regular and Honey nut), Corn Flakes, Kix’s, and Frosted Shredded wheat. I usually let them each pick one sugary cereal out a month for their treat.

With that being said, I was very excited to hear that General Mills announced a commitment to further reduce sugar in cereals advertised to kids under 12 to single digit grams of sugar per serving. Then increasing key nutrients, such as calcium and Vitamin D, and providing some whole grain!

Some quick facts from General Mills:

• Ready-to-eat cereal eaters consume less fat, cholesterol, and more fiber than non-cereal eaters?? While also getting more important vitamins, minerals, and other essential nutrients, making cereal a top source of key nutrients in children’s diets.
  
• Ready-to-eat cereal is the #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.
  
• Plus children perform better at school after having breakfast! Then children who skip.
  

If you would like to see more information about kids and cereal, you can visit Cereal Health and Wellness.

General Mills Cereal would like to offer everyone a $1 off Coupon for one of four General Mills Cereals which you can get HERE.

Motor Oil Review and Giveaway:

 

The things our parents say usually never stick in our heads. Well I must say that my dad from the time I was little has always told me “You oil & water your vehicles and they will last forever” …. He was a mechanic. Therefore, I learned a lot about cars. I can change my own oil, but very rarely ever do! I can also take cars apart (not so good at putting them back together) and help change a transmission. Knowing your car is a good thing to learn. Has saved me more times than I can count.

So, when Blogspark gave me the opportunity to try out Jiffy Lube and have my oil changed, I was excited. I could hear my dad nagging in the back of my head. I’m only 2,000 miles past due on changing it after all. I have never used Jiffy Lube, but they were fast, friendly and great to deal with. My car is certainly happy now!

Did you know:

• According to a study by the Automotive Aftermarket Industry Association, nearly 9 out of 10 female motorists are involved in their household's vehicle maintenance and repair
• According to a national survey that polled 522 women, 46 percent incorrectly assumed simply switching from conventional engine oil to synthetic oil enables the number of miles between oil changes to be safely extended*
• Using a quality motor oil in the right grade can help maximize fuel economy, and help save money by preventing costly engine damage
• Off-brand, no-name or discount oils that do not meet industry standards or the vehicle manufacturer´s requirements could cost consumers in the long run by potentially damaging the vehicle´s engine or possibly voiding the manufacturer´s warrant

* Jiffy Lube Survey Conducted by Opinion Research Corporation, 2006

You can find a Jiffy Lube near you here.

Win: A $35 gift card to Jiffy Lube (great for a stocking stuffer)

To Enter:  Visit Motor Oil Matters site, and tell me something you learned?  (mandatory to enter)

Pillsbury Thanksgiving Cookies & Giveaway:

 

Do you have any Thanksgiving Traditions?? We used to have many more until we moved to Florida. Now being further away from our family, we have had to start new traditions. Which is sometimes difficult. One of the things we like to do is cook together as a family, or with friends and decorate cookies.

Blogspark, has recently asked me to review Pillsbury Thanksgiving Shape® sugar cookies. We have not yet gotten a chance to do these, because my kids have been sick, and we have been very busy this week. However, in the best, we have used Pillsbury cookies, and loved them! We have made their Valentine ones, and Halloween ones. My children loved how they baked and came out with a really cool picture on the top!!!  These are only in the stores for a limited time, so be sure to go get yours today!

As soon as we are able to get ours and make them, I will make sure to post pictures of us making them! Enjoy! 

Win it: They have also offered to give one of my readers a Pillsbury® Ready to Bake!TM Thanksgiving Shape® sugar cookies gift basket! Which includes a coupon to try the cookies, pencil, finger puppet, and a turkey-shaped stress reliever. I want you to be able to enjoy this before Thanksgiving…. so I am doing a quick Giveaway!

Enter:  Leave me a comment about your tradition at Thanksgiving!

Giveaway is open to US Residents only and will End Nov 19 @ 9pm EST
