Giveaway: Chex Mix Turtle Bars


Thanks to MyBlogSpark for giving me the opportunity to host this giveaway!

This delicious snack combines crunchy Chex pieces, pretzels and peanuts with chewy and indulgent ingredients like caramel and chocolate. And if that´s not enough, they have less than 150 calories per bar and provide at least 8 grams of whole grain per serving (48 grams recommended daily)! A great combination of the ingredients you love, Chex Mix Bars are a tasty treat that will leave you feeling satisfied and guilt-free!

I got two boxes to try and they were a big hit with my family and make a great “on the go” snack. When I’m working, I’m constantly on the go, and so this is something that will be quick and easy to stick in my purse and have when I need an energy boost! Plus, I can never turn down a caramel-chocolate combo!

I will be giving away six boxes (two to three different winners!) for you to try out!

Here’s the scoop:

The contest will run from today through 11:59 p.m. on Sunday, 8/9. The winners will be chosen via random.org and notified Monday morning.

A few of my favorite things: MyPoints.com and Bzzagent.com

MyPoints

I know that I have mentioned MyPoints before. When I first entered the crazy world of bargain hunting, it was one of the first sites that I joined. They send you e-mails (I usually get 10-15 each week) and you earn points for clicking on a link in the e-mails. You can earn additional points for ordering things using the affiliate links on their site.

One of the greatest things about MyPoints is that you can print coupons from their site and then earn points when you redeem them! I have been using more printable coupons lately than insert coupons, so this has been a definite bonus for me!

You can redeem your points for a variety of gift cards. Here are some of the choices: (these are just a few of the options – there are over 75 merchants to choose from!)

*Amazon.com
*Bath & Body Works
*Chili’s
*CVS!!!!
*JC Penney
*Old Navy
*Outback Steakhouse
*Starbucks
*Target
*Walgreens
*Walmart
