Some things are just a “win-win” situtuation.
*cue twilight zone music*
Imagine if you will being offered the opportunity to receive a years supply (that’s 50 boxes) of Kraft Macaroni and Cheese. Who wouldn’t jump at that? After all when you have a 5 (almost 6) year old and an 8 year old in the house, Macaroni and Cheese is pretty much our lifeblood around here! Add to that the opportunity to help out one of my readers (who are all trying to save a buck while living better) by hosting a giveaway where someone wins their own 50 boxes of Kraft Macaroni and Cheese.
And then, as if all of that weren’t enough, imagine that just for hosting the giveaway Kraft wouldl donate yet another 50 boxes to Feeding America*. Wow, in these economic times I’m sure there are plenty of folks in need who would benefit from that!
But wait, there’s more! If a person were to use twitter, imagine that for every single tweet they did during the day with the #bluebox hashtag on the end of it, Kraft donated another box of Macaroni and Cheese to Feeding America, up to a total of 1 million boxes. Wouldn’t that be a great way to help those in need without spending a dime yourself?
Well imagine no more-because that is in fact the opportunity I was offered by Kraft!
This giveaway runs from Tuesday July 14 until midnight, Eastern Standard Time on Monday July 20th.
So, how do you enter? Here are the rules. Remember in order to be counted EACH ENTRY MUST BE A SEPARATE COMMENT. Really folks, if you leave one comment and list 3 things you did, it only gets counted ONCE.
#1-Leave a comment here with how you like to eat your Macaroni and Cheese. Yes, plain is an acceptable answer, but it is a heck of a lot more fun for the rest of us if you share some neat “dress it up” ideas!
#2-Head on over to the Share a Little Comfort website and click to have a box of Kraft Macaroni and Cheese donated to Feeding America. (feel free to print yourself a coupon while you are there) Come back and comment about it.
#3-Tweet about this contest using this link and hashtag: http://budurl.com/8tv8 #bluebox, then come back and comment.
#4-Once a DAY you can do an additional tweet using the #bluebox hashtag and get an additional entry. Of course you have to come tell me about it.
There you go, plenty of ways to enter. Good luck to you all.
PS-Thanks to those of you who let me know about the broken link for Share a little comfort. It’s fixed now 
*Note: Feeding America, formerly America’s Second Harvest, is the nation’s leading domestic hunger relief charity. Each year, the Feeding America network provides food assistance to more than 25 million low-income people facing hunger in the United States, securing and distributing more than 2 billion pounds of donated food and grocery products annually.

I always add extra shredded cheese to my Kraft Mac and Cheese. My family loves cheese!
I have stirred a can of rotel tomatoes into mac and cheese before. Very delicious.
There is a restaurant in NYC that puts mac and cheese on top of a hot dog. Really good w/ a little mustard.
I like to cut up hot dogs into mine.

I eat mac and cheese with tuna or if I have with plain I eat it with ketchup.
Oh my girls and I love mac and cheese. My son tolerates it, but he much prefers the blue box if he has to eat it!
I add some ground beef sometimes. Not that exciting, but it’s something. For a little different taste, I might add a little pizza sauce too.
Just donated boxes via the button. I hope these button things really do what they’re supposed to. I’ve bookmarked it so I can print coupons in the morning!
And here’s the link to my tweet:

Mac and cheese made with real butter is delicious.
Plain usually. But sometimes I like to add a little ham.

We love to make tuna mac. Add peas and a can of tuna to make a well rounded but easy meal.
Give it a crust. Bacon pieces and breadcrumbs as a topping with a crunch.
Add chicken and broccoli or ham and broccoli. You can get the chicken or ham precooked to make it even easier.
I donated 10 boxes! What a cool way to help those in need.
