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.

  9. I enjoy my mac and cheese plain but without milk, just the cheese stirred in.

  14. We like to mix it with baked beans. My S.O. puts tuna fish in it, which sounds good but I don’t eat that stuff!

    I’d never eat so much MnC so I’d give most of it to a local food bank.

  19. of course, plain is best when you’re just craving mac n cheese, but we also like it with ham or bacon added in…when i’m gettin’ *really* fancy, i add ground beef and a little salsa…ok, kidding about the fancy part… 🙂

  20. the share a little comfort website is awesome…love the casserole creator! and yup, clicked the button to donate! 🙂

  24. I like my mac & cheese mixed with ground beef and taco seasoning baked in the oven.. YUM for Mac & Cheese Taco Bake!

  27. Thank You! I went to the Share a Little Comfort website. It said ” You just donated 10 boxes to Feeding America!” 251,890 boxes donated so far! WOOT!

  37. I like my mac and cheese with either ketcup or peas mixed in. It is also very yummy if you make it with eveoerated milk.

  43. My children would love for me to win the mac-n-cheese! I like to add veggies like frozen peas, broccoli or spinach. also good with a can of tuna.

  47. I like to saute a sweet onion (Vidalia) and stir the onion and a can of tuna into my Mac ‘n’ Cheese. If I have lots of time on my hands, I like to sprinkle some grated cheese on top and pop it in the oven until the cheese melts.
