Quaker Oatmeal Squares & Visa Gift Card Giveaway!

Behold, M’s precious bowl of Quaker Oatmeal Square’s.

I’ve talked about M’s love of Oatmeal Square’s before. She loves them so much that we now buy the giant industrial size box from our local Costco. She eat’s them with milk for breakfast, and dry for a snack.  You can imagine how excited we were to learn Quaker is coming out with a new flavor of Oatmeal Squares.

Quaker Oats is celebrating Leap Day this month with a Delightful Discoveries campaign that will launch a new flavor of Quaker Oatmeal Squares, Honey Nut Crunch. Leap Day presents an extra day on the calendar this year to try something new. Its the perfect opportunity to try out this new flavor. Along with the other well-known flavors, including Brown Sugar, Cinnamon and Golden Maple, the new addition of Honey Nut can add an extra touch of sweetness to your morning cereal.

In honor of Quaker’s new delightful discovery, one lucky reader will win the full product line of Quaker Oatmeal Squares and a $75 Visa gift card to put towards trying something new.  To enter, leave a comment telling me what you would like to discover with an extra day on the calendar this year. Whether it’s a new hobby, a new recipe or some quality time with loved ones.

Readers who visit the Quaker Oatmeal Squares Facebook page and like it will receive a free sample of the new flavor to try for themselves.

This giveaway will be open until March 1st. The winner of the full product line of Quaker Oatmeal Squares and a $75 Visa gift card will be announced on March 2nd.

This post is sponsored by Quaker Oats.

    I would love to just spend more time with my boyfriend and our dog. We have been running non stop…so a day to just chill out (and stay in the kitchen and cook…he’s become quite the baker!) would be awesome! Thanks for this giveaway…I LOVE quaker oatmeal squares!

    I would love an extra day to relax with the family, maybe hit the beach.

  9. Heidi said on February 21, 2012 at 8:56 am

    One more day to plan and organize for our newest addition to the family. But really, any “extra” time to spend with family is awesome 🙂

  10. Mami2jcn said on February 21, 2012 at 10:09 am

    My husband’s birthday is on Leap Year, and in honor of him, if I had an extra day I would spend it alone with him!

  11. shayna said on February 21, 2012 at 10:10 am

    One day just to stay in the house and do all the chores that never get finished!

  12. Nina said on February 21, 2012 at 10:13 am

  13. Kerrie said on February 21, 2012 at 10:23 am

    I love those Oatmeal Squares too, haven’t broken down and bought the Costco pack as of yet. With an extra day I would love to discover that our expectant babies nursery has been painted. On chance that little leap year elves didn’t do it, just having an extra day to do get the task done would be perfect.

  14. Amelia said on February 21, 2012 at 10:27 am

    Great giveaway! 🙂

    With an extra day, I would travel to visit my grandmother who I have not seen since my wedding day 5 years ago. It’s hard living far from loved ones.

  15. Cellabella said on February 21, 2012 at 10:28 am

    Quaker Oat Squares is one of my favorite cereals! With an extra day, I’d like to discover new hiking trails in my neighborhood, and maybe learn how to sew too 🙂

  20. Louise said on February 21, 2012 at 11:26 am

    I would love to take a walk on the beach with my favorite man. Reality is, I’ll be having mouth scaling and root planning, surgical stent with a pending implant. Not my idea of fun for this leap year. There’s always leap year 2016 to take that walk. Wow 4 years away.

  21. Melissa said on February 21, 2012 at 11:43 am

    I’d love to use the extra day to practice the piano, something I don’t do enough…

  34. Helena said on February 21, 2012 at 7:54 pm

    Love, love, love Quaker oatmeal squares!

    I would really like to have an extra day to just hang out with my husband and two children with no chores to do. Perhaps a trip to the zoo or the aquarium would be perfect for a day like that.

  40. Summer said on February 22, 2012 at 4:18 am

  41. Alexis said on February 22, 2012 at 6:37 am

    Well I wish the 29th was a holiday! But as it isn’t, maybe my husband will magically come home early from work so we can have some extra cuddle and play time together with our three boys!

  42. Lyndsey @ Sit. Stay. Cook. said on February 22, 2012 at 8:13 am

    An extra day means extra time to spend with people I love, doing things we love to do together – cooking, reading, laughing and loving. Not a bad way to spend a day.

  43. Latonya R said on February 22, 2012 at 11:13 am

    I would do an impromptu road trip for shopping and enjoying mother daughter time with my 6 year old. She likes shopping just as much as I do!

  44. Lisa said on February 22, 2012 at 11:47 am

    I need an extra day to make a pilgrimage to whole foods and trader joe’s. It’s about an hour away ani just never get a chance to go.

    Hi Estela! My family loves these oatmeal squares. We also go through so many boxes of them! I’d love an extra day to be in the kitchen- cooking, taking pics without kids requiring my attention. I’d have a wine while I cook and I’d make my husband do the dishes. 😉

  53. Amanda said on February 23, 2012 at 7:25 am

    With an extra day in this month, I would like to discover how good it feels to catch up on my sleep before the craziness of March begins! It sounds silly but I am being totally serious.

  57. Kelly D said on February 24, 2012 at 3:41 pm

  65. Tia Imelda said on February 25, 2012 at 9:14 pm

    As you know, my grandaughter was born with severe acid reflux so I have been taking care of her while my son and daughter-in-law work. Well, she is better now and able to start daycare. February 29th will mean one more wonderful day we can spend together since she starts daycare on March 1. I will always cherish the time we had together and look forward to the day she and I can share some quaker oatmeal cookies. Still remember how delicious they were when your mom and I were children and your grandma made them for us. Love you!

  75. Amy Cooper said on February 28, 2012 at 3:53 pm

    My dad is having surgery tomorrow–so even though it is not the most fun way to spend the extra day, I am glad to be able to spend it visiting with him before, and keeping my mom company during the surgery.
