Giveaway - Back to School Giveaway - Crayola and General Mills at Target Including a $20 Target Gift Card

Back to shopping has already occured at my house.  This was my first year of preparing for back to school.  My daughter started kindergarten this year.  School has been in session for over 2 weeks and she loves it.  The first day of school was emotional for me.  I cried all day but she didn't shed a tear.  I hope everyone has a great first day back like we did.
 
Now is the perfect time to stock up on your kids’ school supplies and on-the-go breakfast favorites. With Crayola® and General Mills teaming up at your local Target, you’ll be sure to pass back-to- school prep with flying colors!
 
This back-to-school season will be as easy as 1-2-3 with a little help from General Mills, Crayola, and Target, the one-stop-shop for all your back-to-school needs! Head to the front of the class and check out www.GrocerySavvy.com where you’ll find even more coupons for back-to-school, recipes, and a special 2012 “Grocery Savvy Crayola® Back To School” Sweepstakes!
