Thank You General Mills! *Giveaway*

Posted by 247 Comments

This giveaway is now closed.  Thanks for stopping by.  The winners are Becca and Karin!  Congrats!

Last month I attended a blogger event at General Mills.  The company has been incredible to work with.  They value our input and are constantly trying to improve their products for the consumer.  As I mentioned in my previous post, they are striving to offer organic and all-natural product alternatives.  Some of those Cascadian Farm, Muir Glen, and  Pillsbury’s new Simply cookies which are delicious and free from trans fats, high fructose corn syrup, artificial flavors, colors, or preservatives.

There were many, many products featured (with posts to follow over the next several weeks).  One that I was actually very interested to learn more about was not entirely food-related.  Box Tops is a program that helps raise money for your local school.  It’s a great way to make a difference in your child’s school and community. You can join the Box Tops for Education Facebook fan page or follow them on Twitter for the latest. This is just one more way the company is giving back!

Since it’s nearly impossible to fit anything other than clothing and cosmetics into a suitcase designed for one night, the company sent a box of snacks and goodies from the new lines they were promoting at the event.  Thank you General Mills!  You’ve blown me away once again!

Win It! I have a few coupons for cereal and soup to giveaway (2 winners).  Simply leave me a comment with your favorite General Mills products!  Comments will close on October 13, 2009 at 10 PM PST.

  17. We live on General Mills’ products here, but I think my favorite is Multi-Grain Cheerios with fresh Minnesota blueberries. Our Catholic school participates in the Box Tops program and has bought many new computers and classroom aids with the money we’ve made. Thanks for looking out for our health and the health of our kids in so many ways!

  24. I love Cheerios for my family, and the variety of flavors is just icing on the cake. I saw on the site that they have Triple Berry Cherrios, so I want to try them, because my family like other berry cereals.

  37. I subscribe via email. Good luck to all. P.S. Their Muir Glen Tomato Soup is different from most tomato soup’s I’ve eaten because it has more Italian herbs in it. It was yummy.

  87. I have written so many love letters to General Mills I don’t know where to begin. They have such a great line of gluten-free products (Chex, Yoplait, now some yummy (for reals!) cake mixes) that make me so happy General Mills is a local company. I’d have to say Cinnamon Chex are my favorite General Mills product because they make my husband so incredibly happy. As someone who has to follow a relatively strict diet, he doesn’t get a lot of treats, but these really do the trick for him!!
