GIVEAWAY: Win a General Mills and Hasbro Retro Breakfast-and-Gaming Gift Pack!

By:

Disclosure: This giveaway is sponsored by General Mills and Hasbro through MyBlogSpark. I have received a General Mills and Hasbro gift pack, as well as information to help promote the products as part of this giveaway.

UPDATE: Giveaway has ended! The winner is Tctbtob!

Hey, Super-Couponers! Do you get a little nostalgic for your childhood when you see retro product packaging? I do! And, whenever products come out in fun, retro designs, I find myself terribly tempted to buy them.

Well, General Mills is at it again! They’re bringing back special-edition, classic cereal packaging from the 1950s, 1960s, and 1980s! Cereals like Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Cheerios, Lucky Charms and more are going nostalgic, and you’ll find the new, “old” packaging at Target.

Along with the cereals, classic board games are also getting a retro makeover at Target too! If you’re a sucker for playing the games we grew up with the way they were, you’ll enjoy checking out vintage versions of Clue®, Scrabble®, Parcheesi® and or Risk®. (I don’t know why, but when I’ve bought games like Clue to play with my kids, I’ve always chosen the retro style ones that I grew up with versus the new kinds!)

To celebrate all of this retro-fun at Target, I’ve got one General Mills and Hasbro Retro Breakfast-and-Gaming Gift Pack to give away to one lucky reader, and it includes:

  • 2 boxes of participating Big G Retro cereals
  • A $10 Target gift card (to buy more breakfast supplies – milk, juice, fruit!)
  • A Hasbro Parcheesi® Deluxe Vintage board game

Want a chance to win? To enter, simply post a reply in the comments! This General Mills and Hasbro Retro Breakfast-and-Gaming Gift Pack giveaway begins today, March 14th, 2013, and runs for one week. The giveaway will end on March 20th, 2013 at 11:59pm CST, and on March 21st, one winner will be chosen via a random number generator!

Bonus! General Mills also sent a $1-off-2 cereal coupon for everyone! If you buy the retro-packaged cereals, each includes a $5 coupon for vintage Hasbro® board games available exclusively at Target® from March 15, 2013 to April 30, 2013 while supplies last. The game coupon is valid at Target stores from March 15, 2013 to December 31, 2013.
