Deal Alert & Sweepstakes with M&M's and Forza 5 on Xbox One!

With all of this shopping for the holidays, it is always a smart idea to save a little when you can, right?  I had to share this great deal with you, which combines two of my favorite things: snacks and video games!  I was already headed to Walmart to grab some M&M's and I had a lightbulb moment when I heard of the Buy, Snap, and Redeem promotion, which rewards you with a $10 eGift card!  I'll explain more later.  Not only that, you have a chance to win an Xbox One entertainment system, the Forza Motorsport 5 game, and a 14 oz. bag of M&M's candy in a fun sweepstakes!  Needless to say, I ended up with one bag of M&M's in my delish cookies, another bag of M&M's for a stocking stuffer, and the Forza Motorsport 5 under the tree for my lucky guy... and all at a savings!

Now here are the details for the promotion in 3 easy steps...

1a. Buy M&M's!

• The total M&M purchase must be at least $8
• Here are the participating products: M&M's Peanut 42oz. Stand Up Pouch, M&M's Milk 42oz. Stand Up Pouch, M&M's Peanut Butter 38oz. Stand Up Pouch, M&M's Pretzel 30oz. Stand Up Pouch, M&M's Peanut 19.2oz. Large Laydown Bag, M&M's Milk 19.2oz. Large Laydown Bag, M&M's Peanut Butter 18.4oz. Large Laydown Bag, M&M's Pretzel 15.4oz. Large Laydown Bag

Note:  I bought two of the smaller laydown bags below the stand up pouches, so I could use one bag for cookies and the other for a stocking stuffer!

1b. Buy the Forza Motorsport 5 game

No difficult details here, but I just wanted to point out that there was a video for the game and it was sooo awesome!

I mean, check out the detail in the windshield of the gray car.  You can see clouds reflected off of it, like it was real.  :)  I half expected to see my own reflection!

2.  Snap a photo!

Take a picture with your phone of qualifying items on your receipt and text it to "811811" with the word "M&M."  The items have to be on the same receipt and you might have to wait up to 48 hours, but soon you will have your reward code for a $10 eGift card from Walmart!

3. Redeem for something awesome!

Now, for the M&M Pixel Art Instagram contest!  I love pixel art, and you can get completely creative.  :)  The rules are below, but here's a quick recap:

1. Create M&M's Pixel Art
2. Snap a pic
3. Tag it with #FueledByMM
4. Post to Instagram and Twitter

...and win!  You can enter up to three times per day, so get creating!

I am so excited to give this gift for the holidays, and don't worry because I told my guy to skip reading today's post so he wouldn't see what his present would be.  :)  So make sure to take advantage of the great Buy, Snap, and Redeem promotion plus enter to win the M&M Pixel Art Instagram Contest!

Happy gaming & winning!
