Winner and A NEW Giveaway: Sweet and Salty Granolas

Congratulations to the Winner of the Summer Bridge Activity Book is: Kelli @ Joy. These are awesome books year-round and you all will love them.

Now those who did not win can take heart because we have another lovely Giveaway from the awesome company Sunbelt's Giveaway - Sweet & Salty Chewy Peanut Granola Bars! Y'all these are so great. They are a quick and handy and nutritious snack My Tigers, boys y'all, get totally satisfied with these.



Here's what we do - for example, on our recent trip - I took a box for snacks along so anytime someone was hungry, there was my go-to box. Right on top were the Sunbelt Sweet & Salty Chewy Peanut Granola Bars and they were going quickly except that Sunbelt sent me half dozen boxes.

So we're good. Sweet & Salty Granola is a new granola bar to help families save a little when shopping for good things. It even includes fiber and protein… and has a melty chocolate flavor.

Sunbelt Sweet & Salty Chewy Peanut Granola Bars are chocolate dipped granola bars for $2.59 a box (8 individually wrapped bars). That’s 32 cents a bar. It’s different than other sweet and salty granola bars because of its chocolate and peanut combination.

They’re at grocery stores and discount centers nationwide. The website www.sunbeltsnacks.com has nutritional information. Sunbelt is part of McKee Foods, which also makes Little Debbie.
