"The Granola Bar Connoisseur" Giveaway

>> Tuesday, July 21, 2009

Welcome to Mummy Deals!
If you're looking for ways to save money on your grocery bill, you've come to the right place. Consider subscribing to a daily (spam-free) email update or my RSS feed. Did you enter all the Giveaways yet?


I am a lover of granola bars but not just any kind. I mean the stuffed full of goodies, bells and whistles, chunky kind that are usually not cheap. Last week I was introduced to some new bars courtesy of General Mills through My Blog Spark and I'm digging them. They're the new Chex Mix turtle bars. With the perfect combo of sweet and salty they're an ideal snack for the afternoon munchies or a great grab on the go option. Plus the nutritional stats aren't bad either at 130 calories, 3.5 g of fat, and 4 g. of fiber.

If you're anything like me, life gets kinda crazy and although our kids get well fed, we forget ourselves! I guess that's why over the past 17 months I've become somewhat of a granola bar connoisseur as they're easy to grab in a pinch. The new Chex Mix are all that plus they've got that expensive high-end bar going on without the high-end price. Yum-o!

Not only did My Blog Spark send me a couple of boxes, but they're giving two of my readers the chance to win 2 boxes each!!! But, if you can't wait to get your hands on the new Chex Mix bars, download a coupon here.

**So how do you win? All you've got to do is leave a comment below telling me your favourite snack.
**Want more ways to win? Blog about the contest on your site or tweet about it and lemme know.
** Want yet one more way? Subscribe to my email feeds or follow me. Any new readers between now and 7/26/09 will be entered one more time.

Contest closes on Sunday July 26th at midnight and the winner will be picked randomly (by random.org) and announced on Monday July 27th. Don't forget to leave a way for me to contact you!

I love making what I call a Goldfish Snack Mix. I mix together a bag of Goldfish Ranch flavored, Parmesan, Cheddar, and Pretzel Goldfish. To this I add honey roasted peanuts. YUM! I can eat a few handfuls and feel satisfied. And thank God for Meijers ... Goldfish crackers are 1/2 off this week making this a very affordable snack to make. Using 4 bags of Goldfish makes quite a lot and lasts a long time in my household.

Heidi July 21, 2009 11:09 AM  

I have tried these and they are amazing!! I keep some hidden away in my secret stash!!

Homemade oatmeal scotchie cookies are the best! They go great with a glass of milk or a cuppa tea. The only drawback is that I have to make them myself!

Jennifer,  July 22, 2009 11:21 AM  

I love ALL snack foods: candy bars, granola bars, fruit, popcorn, chips. I just discovered very tasty chips at Harry & David (Lighthouse Mall in Michigan City) that are made from healthy grains. There is a multi-grain, a flaxseed and a garlic-flavored. They are scrumptious alone or with dips, like homemade guacamole!
