TIB’S SEASON OF GIVING 2025: Day 1

/ / Announcement, Prize Drawing / 117 Comments

We’re starting this year’s Season of Giving with a banger, if you’re into bacon-flavored Cinnamon Toast Crunch. Remember Hormel Black Label Bacon Flavor Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cereal? It was available on Walmart’s website sometime during the summer in limited quantities, and is now being offered by folks who thought they might make a fortune reselling them on eBay. If you really want one, you can spend about $10 at eBay, or you could enter this prize drawing for a chance to win the bag General Mills sent me to promote it, which I don’t think I did because by the time I received it on this rock in the middle of the Pacific Ocean via UPS Ground, the Walmart site was sold out.

RULES:

To enter this prize drawing for this unopened pouch of smoky Cinnamon Toast Crunch, leave a comment with THIS post, and that comment MUST include the word “vittles.”

Remember to fill out the email field because we’ll be emailing the randomly selected winner for their mailing addresses.

We will stop accepting entries on Wednesday, December 17, 2025, at 6:00 p.m. Hawaii Standard Time. Only one comment is allowed per person, and it’s only open to U.S. residents.

JUST A FEW OF NOTES:

If you post a comment and it doesn’t show up, it ended up in our comment spam or trash folder for some strange reason. There’s no need to attempt to post another comment because I’ll be pulling those out of the comment spam vortex regularly.

Also, do not leave your comment using the blue REPLY button at the bottom of other comments. Scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page and leave your comment in the section above the blue POST COMMENT button. I know. Lots of scrolling. But it’ll totally be worth it if you win this.

Good luck!

FINE PRINT:

The Impulsive Buy won’t use your email address to send you emails regarding fiber internet in your area or use your mailing address to AARP membership forms even though you are younger than 50. Bribes will not be accepted. The Impulsive Buy will not be responsible for lost mail, damaged mail, or AARP thinking you’re over 50.

Oh, they’re even shaped like churros. Though, could’ve used some artificial colors to make the churro-shaped marshmallows less pale. (Spotted by Amanda Y at Walmart.)

Is this the 2017 version brought back to life? Is it a reformulation? Has Fred Flintstone been left-handed all this time? (Spotted by Tommy at Walmart.)

ANNOUNCEMENT: The Impulsive Buy’s 2025 Season of Giving

/ / Announcement / 7 Comments

It’s here! The Impulsive Buy’s 2025 Season of Giving…

…Away Things That Companies Send With Their Products.

Starting tomorrow (December 10th), for many days (yes, even weekends), we will be giving away something that some company has sent us throughout the year and some other stuff I happened to have come across while decluttering. They will mostly be from General Mills. Last year, we did mystery boxes, but this year I’m going to show you what the prizes are.

Rules and deadlines for the individual prize drawings will be in their respective posts. The title of those posts will begin with “TIB’S SEASON OF GIVING 2025.”

So keep an eye out for them!

Good luck!
