Let’s talk breakfast and big families.  We can easily go through a box of cereal in just one morning here!  So for us, it only makes sense to buy our cereal in bulk.  Previously, it came in a huge box with a bunch of smaller bags.  But now, they’re packaging it differently.  New 2 box Cheerios contains two individual boxes, making them easier to store and easier to pour!

By reducing the amount of air in each individual bag, these enhanced containers fit 10% more cereal than before and use less packaging.   This is a great thing- while each box contains more cereal, packaging material has been reduced by over 200,000 lbs, saving 1,000 trees and taking 130 Cheerios trucks of the road, decreasing CO2 emissions.

New and improved 2 box Cheerios are now available on the shelves of Costco, Sam´s Club and BJ´s nationwide.  I believe I’ve seen them at Walmart as well.

But you don´t have to take my word for it, check out all the benefits of new 2 box Cheerios packaging:

I received a prize pack including (2) new 2 box Cheerios packaging (four boxes) and I have one for one of you as well!  If you’d like to enter, just comment on this post by June 2nd.  Winner will be drawn on June 3rd.  US only please!
