General Mills and Costco Review and Giveaway

School is out (or almost out), and summer is in, which means trips to the park, days at the beach, and lots of hiking! And for all those fun trips, we need snacks to take with us. Preferably, they're individually wrapped (to make it easy for me), nutritious and delicious.

That is where Costco comes in! I love to stock up on the kids' favorite snacks there, normally for less than 1/2 the cost of the same item at the grocery store.

Recently I was offered the chance to receive a Costco Sunny Day Snacks prize pack, that contained a 48 ct box of Nature valley Chewy Trail Mix Bars, a 42 ct box of Simply Fruit Roll-Ups, and a $25 Costco gift card (to buy more!)


The Nature Valley Chewy Trail Mix bars are nutty, flavorful, and chock full of delicious fruit. They're perfect to keep you going, especially while hiking!

The Simply Fruit Fruit Roll-Ups are tasty and are more than 90% Fruit Juice and Real Fruit. They also contain 1 serving of fruit in every roll and have only 50 calories. Oh, and my kids adore them! I don't normally keep fruit snacks or fruit roll-ups in the house because they're pure sugar, but these are much better and the kids see them as a huge treat!

Would you like to try these for yourself? MyBlogSpark and General Mills are going to provide one of my readers with the same prize pack I received (including the Costco-size packs of these snacks!)
