Super Sized Cheerios Giveaway

Posted in Commercial Break

Cheerios

What’s so exciting?

We enjoy shopping at our local Sam’s Club store because we’re able to get some great products in bulk sizes at affordable prices. I know not everyone likes buying in bulk because storing things can be an issue. Cheerios understands this concern, so they changed their club packaging. The new 2 box Cheerios contains two individual boxes, making them easier to store and easier to pour!

Cheerios 2 box pack

Other benefits include…

  • Reducing the amount of air in each individual bag which means that these enhanced containers fit 10% more cereal than before and use less packaging
  • Reducing packaging material by over 200,000 lbs, means saving 1,000 trees and taking 130 Cheerios trucks of the road, decreasing CO2 emissions

So, not only are you getting more bang for your buck with these new easier to store and pour packages, but you’re also being more environmentally friendly in the process.

These new and improved 2 box Cheerios are now available on the shelves of Costco, Sam’s Club and BJ’s nationwide.

It’s weird having all of us working on different classes, but it’s also a wee bit funny to see us all trying to focus on the task at hand. With Munchkin’s best friend and her family moving this week, staying focused has been much more difficult. She wants to spend as much time with her as possible before they say goodbye on Friday. For this reason, I gave her today off from…
