Because I've been gone. . .

Since I was gone for so long, and I'm still not quite back yet, I've been wanting to do a giveaway. But I was having trouble coming up with something I thought would be awesome. Plus, it's hot. I can't think too much when it's hot.

Thankfully, MyBlogSpark stepped up (again) and saved the day. Thanks to General Mills for providing this package and giveaway through MyBlogSpark!

As you all know, I'm cheap. But my problem is, I'm attracted to the nice and expensive things. That's a whole 'nuther story though. Contrary to what some may think, a nice way to save money is using warehouse clubs, like Costco. Yes, you have to pay a membership fee ($50 for 1year--that's the cheapest) but it's pretty good still!!

For example: A box of Oreos, with 10 sleeves in it (about the equivalent of 3-4 packages) runs around $6 at Costco. 3-4 boxes of Oreos, regular price at the grocery store will run you about $10 or more!!

And milk? About $3.50 for 2gallons. Now, you can just combine those two, and you practically have dinner ready! Well, if you're like Captain Jax that is. . .

Now on to the giveaway. . . .

Summer is here, and it is HOT. You need some snacks on hand that you can throw in the car, throw in the beach bag, your purse. Granola bars are perfect, and these Nature Valley granola bars are my favorite. I always buy a box when I go to costco and keep a ziplock bag full in my car. They're chewy and soft, which is the only way I like my granola bars.




And if you have young ones around, these fruit wraps are great! This is all K-girl asks for now. Everything comes individually wrapped too, which is even better.

BUT WAIT!! it gets better. MyBlogSpark and General Mills are done EVEN MORE to sweeten this giveaway for you.

A $25 giftcard to Costco. Don't worry, you do NOT need to have a Costco membership to use this card, it's like giving you a small trial of Costco. You can walk in and around the store, see what you like and pick up something for $25.

So here's the deal, if you want to enter this giveaway:

1 Entry-post a comment and let me know what your favorite summer-time snacks are. And if it's something awesome, post the recipe too!!

2nd Entry-follow this blog, and post a second comment, letting me know you follow (or if you already follow)

Easy as that! Giveaway will close on JULY 4th at NOON, mountain time.
