General Mills and MyBlogSpark understand that "between finding that missing sock and making sure that the dog didn't eat last night's homework assignment, it can be tough to sit down for breakfast with the family. But did you know that breakfast eaters tend to have better nutrients intake and kids who eat breakfast tend to perform better in school.
This back to school season, enjoy the most important meal of the day while finding great savings on your favorite breakfasts with a little help from Big G cereals.
- In your grocer’s cereal aisle, keep an eye out for specially marked boxes of Cheerios®, Chocolate Cheerios®, Cookie Crisp®, Golden Grahams®, MultiGrain Cheerios®, and Total®
- Use the coupons printed inside the box to save up to $5 when purchasing select products from brands including Betty Crocker®, Nature Valley®, Pillsbury®, Big G, and Maxwell House
Start the day off right with Big G cereals, and keep your stomach – and
your wallet – full. To learn more about the benefits of breakfast, visit

My dear husband was like a little kid when he saw the cereals included in our review box. He made a mental checklist of "his" cereals as he placed the boxes in the kitchen. During the next few days he went on at length with the children about which cereals were his favorite, now and as a kid.
Of course this is when the children choose to listen to a parent! Did they listen when he said they should do homework in a timely manner? Nope. Did they listen when he said they should clean their rooms? Nope. But they sure did listen to which cereals he wanted to eat.
Saturday morning my Dear Husband decided to sleep in a little later. My children decided to wake up early and make themselves some breakfast. Yep you know where this is going. There was half a box of Cookie Crisp left and somebody was disappointed. You know what they say about the early bird.
This week in my house has been a game of hide and seek with the partially remaining lone box of Cookie Crisp. Dear Husband's strategy is to hide it in plain sight. Youngest dear daughter (6) went with mind games. The youngest sits at the table on Sunday morning eating her bowl of Cookie Crisp and in walks my 16 year old daughter wanting a bowl too. Youngest informs the oldest that the cereal is off limits because it is daddy's favorite, but she has been given special permission because she is the youngest. My oldest daughter bought it and ate some Golden Grahams.
Never a dull moment in my house!
