Ready for Back to School? #Giveaway fun with Target, General Mills and Crayola #MyBlogSpark

Are you ready for it?

Despite my best laid plans, there are still items I want to grab while the price is right in all those back-to-school sales. Glue sticks for 10 cents and crayons for 50 cents are too hard to pass up!

This is also a great time to stock up on other items, too, like cereal and lunch or snack items. Target has some great promotions going on right now.


Available exclusively at Target Stores during the month of August:
  • Purchase specially marked Nature Valley® Crunchy Granola Bars, Pillsbury® Toaster Strudel® Pastries, and Big G Cereal packages and you could save up to $5 on Crayola products
  • Participating Big G cereal boxes will feature a fun Crayola coloring activity on pack
  • Save on General Mills products when you purchase specially marked Crayola 64-CT Crayons


I was sent the above package to help get me and my family ready for the school season. I am loving the dry erase Crayola crayons, cheerios are a pantry must-have and who couldn't put a Target gift card to use this time of year? Keep reading to see how you can win a package just like this one.

Be sure to check out the Grocery Savvy Crayola® Back To School” Sweepstakes! on Grocery Savvy's site. You could win one of the 700 Crayola® 8-count Washable Dry Erase Crayons or one of 20 Crayola® Dry-Erase Activity Centers Zany Play Edition. Be sure to also take advantage of coupons and recipes while you are on the site.

Giveaway Time!
