Kid Tested...Mother Approved!

For those of you who don't know this about me, 
I love a good deal!!!  Who doesn't, right?

I collect Coke points to earn free tickets to the movie theater.
I buy the Sunday paper solely for the coupons.
I compare prices before buying anything.
I blog about movies to earn a $15 gift card every month.
I fill out surveys if it means that I will receive something free.
I willingly participate in things like MyBlogSpark.com.

I recently received a box of goodies to "test out," and it was like Christmas morning for this frugal Mama of almost two kids.

When was the last time you had Kix cereal?
We've nearly polished off our first box in the last couple of days, and it has been a fun change for all of us.  Phil reminisced about eating Kix when he was younger, and Clare has really enjoyed something different than the standard bowl of oatmeal of Cheerios.  I'm excited to try the Honey Kix as well.

We've also had fun with the puzzle, and I particularly LOVE the snack cup because of its tight seal.  I know that many of you have young children at home, and you would enjoy these goodies as well.  Thanks to MyBlogSparkTM, I get to award one of you with the same box of goodies that you see pictured above.  Interested???

In the comment section, tell me about your typical breakfast routine.  
When, if ever, was the last time that you tried Kix? 

A winner will be chosen randomly on Tuesday, November 9th (my due date), so share your thoughts before then.  :)

We eat oatmeal here cause cereal is too expensive and we can't get real milk here. But Kix is gluten free!! So we had it fairly often in the states.

We usually eat cereal, sometimes a scones and yogurt, or if the girls are lucky, pancakes!

We love Kix too! I grew up eating them -- one of the "non-sugary" cereals my mom would allow in the house -- and my girls are just as fond :)

We'd love to win your contest!

During the week we eat cereal every morning. Weekends consist of blueberry pancakes on Saturday and cinnamon rolls on Sunday. As to when I last had Kix... probably elementary school. It's been a LONG time! :)

We usually eat toast but I have recently had Kix. I think we had them a few weeks ago and they were great! Lauren loves them.

I live on the other side of the world, I eat oatmeal every day (sometimes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner) and I don't have kids, so clearly I have no right to win the contest, but I wanted to post anyway!

Early morning routine: Brielle wakes up, points towards the kitchen (of course immediately wanting food) and she is now on a yogurt with Cheerios kick. Yogurt with an independent 1 1/2 year old...always a fun mess to clean up. Last time we had Kix...a couple of weeks ago...I bought it because it brought me back to the younger days! Come on Baby Hillary...start busting out!

Probably about two weeks ago! That's one of the few (cheaper cereals) that are Gluten Free! My daughter loves them! Best of wishes to you with you new baby too!

We eat cereal EVERY morning. It is fast and for us fairly cheap. The golden rule here is that the box must be under $2.00. Recently we have been buying the Sunday paper as well to get coupons. I wish we lived closer to a Meijer though b/c we get the add in the paper and I covet the deals in there. You can buy 5 boxes of cereal for $10 and get a free gallon of milk. If I put my coupon in there I could get $2.50 off. That would be $7.50 for 5 boxes of cereal and a gallon of milk! Oh to live closer to a metropolis! So I'm putting myself in the race for the win! I'm claiming the "poor stay at home mom who lives in the country" ticket!
SOOOOOOO excited about Isaac! Congrats! PTL he is healthy and so are you! Please post pics when you can!
