UPDATE: GIVEAWAY HAS ENDED! The winner is winnienet26!

Hey, Super-Couponers… as Halloween approaches, why not invite some monsters to the breakfast table? This week, one reader will win a General Mills Monster-Themed Cereal Gift Pack, along with a $20 Target gift card to buy additional breakfast supplies!

I was pretty excited when I saw this giveaway, as it took me back to my childhood! Boo Berry, Franken Berry and Count Chocula graced my breakfast table when I was a kid, and it’s always fun to see these seasonal favorites hitting stores again around Halloween. Target has all three flavors if you want to share a fun little taste of your own childhood with your kids… but one reader won’t have to spend a dime to do so! And, a $20 Target gift card means you can pick up milk, juice, fruit, or anything else you need for your “terrifying” breakfast too!

Want to win? Simply post a reply in the comments under this article! This General Mills/Target breakfast giveaway begins today, September 27th, 2012, and runs for one week. The giveaway will end on October 3rd, 2012 at 11:59pm CST, and on October 4th, one winner will be chosen via a random number generator!

  5. I really enjoyed your seminar in Ottawa. My friend and I learned a lot and had a great time. Thank you!

  6. My cousin & I once ate an entire box of Franken Berry cereal trying to get the marshmallows!! I love seeing these cereals, it brings back memories!!!

  20. My husband and daughter would probably love the cereal and I would love the gift card! Thanks for the chance.

  22. Always saw them in the store, never got to eat them. mom had a pretty strict cereal rule when we were kids – we each only got a single box of “kids” cereal once per year for our birthday, and even then we still had to share it with the siblings.

    now that I’m a “grown-up” on my own, might have to give them a try and see what (if anything) I missed out on all those years ago!

  25. You have the best contests! My kids would love these, and of course it would bring back great memories of my childhood!!

  51. Crazy as it sounds but I have never tried these cereals! My boys would get a kick out of these!

  62. We stock up EVERY Year on the Count… my husband is literally OBSESSED with it, and since it has a decent shelf life, we stock up so he can still hang out with the Count next spring!!! :)

  63. I have loved Frankenberry since I was a child! I do wish I could find it year round but then it may not be such a treat! Thank you for bringing it back every year!

  81. As a kid, I remember my younger brother eating Boo Berry cereal constantly! Now my kids love it too. We look for this every year around Halloween…already picked up a a couple of boxes at Target last week!

  93. I LOVED these as a kid! I haven’t thought about them in years and don’t think my kids have ever had them. I’m sure they would love them as much as my brother & I did.

  98. I remember these from childhood too. I would love to sink my teeth into Count Chocula for old times’ sake.

  105. My kids would LOVE this one since I never buy the “fun” cereal, and I would love this one, because who doesn’t love Target?!?

  110. We buy enough Count Choula around Halloween to last us until the next year! This would be great to win.

  111. We love Halloween, General Mills cereals and Target—what a great prize package—would love to win it!

  120. i can eat cereal for breakfast, lunch, and dinner so I hope I get lucky with this one! Thanks for all you do Jill!

  121. my son wants all three. When were in the store he asked if I could buy them. I said no wait till they are on sale. This is better than any sale. :)

  124. These cereals sure do take me back when I was a kid. Something that my 3 boys, and husband look forward to every year is these cereals making their appearance. I usually wait until after Halloween to purchase them when they are at a better price. It would be fun to get them earlier :)

  139. It goes without saying that at the age of 47, I still get all excited when I see a box of Count Chocula, Boo Berry or Frankenberry! I grew up loving these cereals and even fondly remember the great Fruit Brute! Would just love to win!

  143. I loved all these cereals when I was a kid, but Count Chocula was my favorite! Thanks for these great giveaways.

  145. Believe or not, I’ve never had any of those. My parents were sticklers for healthy cereals.

  152. These are some of my favorite cereals from my childhood also BooBerry is the AWESOME ONE!!!!! they should be in stores YEAR ROUND!!!!

  155. My wife has been on the hunt for some Frankenberry so this would be an amazing surprise for her if I were to win this.
