Buy select Kellogg’s boxes and get free Schoolastic Books at Sam’s Club . #Back2SchoolStockUp #ad

Hey, hey, this post has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #Back2SchoolStockUp #CollectiveBias  It’s great when things are win/win. With back to school parents will be making more lunches and having the kids actually sit down for breakfast. But what if you could get a free Scholastic Book just for stocking up on the things that you need for to get the kids out the door?   Stop by

Our oldest son has always been a reader. Even before he knew his letters he liked turning the pages to books that had words. Now he’s in Kindergarten, can read lots of sight words and will even do more when mom and dad aren’t around.

When I was a child I remember the first time that I really got in trouble was in the first grade. The book fair was that week and I had ordered a handful of titles without my parent’s permission. Yeah, that was a lesson in honesty and the need for six year-olds to plan ahead when ordering good books.

The options for the Scholastic Books are first class and ones that they’re a beginning, middle, tween or teen reader. They’ve also got books in Spanish. That’s a great way to go if they’re learning Spanish and want to learn it in a form that’s really friendly to pop culture.

 

First up though is breakfast. It’s a bowl of Tiger cereal to them, AKA Kellogg’s Frosted Flakes to get them out the door by the 6:50 bus stop time. Prior to that I made lunch where I snuck in the Fruity Snacks Mixed Berry snacks. Not surprisingly that is the one item in their lunch boxes that always come back empty. Sometimes the Fruity Snacks will be an extra treat after school and, on more than one occasion I’ve eaten a package whilst giving them out.

Now that I’ve been to our local Sam’s Club, purchased some of the 13 specially marked boxes of Kellogg’s products (and shared them with the kids), it’s time to get our free books! We’ve got our eyes on Clifford, The Big Yellow Bus and Night of the Zombie Goldfish.

Free books from @samsclub for buying select @kelloggsus products? Oh yea. #back2schoolstockup #ad

And this weekend, August 22 and 23 your local Sam’s Club is having in-store demos where you can sample some of tasty Kellogg’s snacks. To find the one closes to you just check out this list.

So what book would you order? We’re torn between Attack of the Giant Hamster and Class Trip From the Black Lagoon. But then again, an early reader Spanish book would be great to have too. Either way the kids get a great book; a local school gets one for their library and our kids get some great breakfast food and snacks. I stand corrected; I guess that’s a win/win/win.
