Star Wars Limited Edition Mini Trix Cereal

Star Wars Cookie Crisp Cereal

Seeing the Trix rabbit with Princess Leia hair buns makes me think Cinnabon should do some promotion with Star Wars. Her hair buns do remind me of cinnamon rolls. (Spotted by Robbie at Walmart.)

Special Edition Star Wars Cheez-It Crackers

I guess Stormtroopers have to be extra careful when eating Cheez-It crackers, or else crumbs will get stuck in the nooks and crannies of their suits. (Spotted by Robbie at Walmart.)

Weight Watchers Smart One Smart Creations Pulled Pork and Black Bean and Chipotle Lime Chicken

If I used Photoshop to swap “Pulled Pork and Black Beans” with “Chipotle Lime Chicken” I don’t think anyone would notice. Or maybe I did. (Spotted by Dorothy at Walmart.)

Angie’s Holidrizzle Hot Cocoa Marshmallow Kettle Corn

Hot cocoa is the hot flavor of the season. And fruitcake continues to be the cold flavor of the season. (Spotted by Chris B at Target.)

Little Deibbe North Pole Nutty Bars

I bet Little Debbie was always on Santa’s “nice” list. (Spotted by Amanda at Walmart.)

Is this what Brach’s makes with all the candy canes they didn’t sell last year? Do they cryogenically freeze them, keeping their freshness and making them easier to crush? (Spotted by Carla at Target.)

Limited Edition Label Ocean Spray Jellied Cranberry Sauce

Seriously? There are now limited edition labels for canned goods. I look forward to limited edition labels for all of Del Monte vegetables. (Spotted by Robbie at Target.)

Simply Balanced Frosty Flakes and Peanut Butter Poppers Cereals

Simply Balanced Rainbow Hoops and Honey Nut Hoops Cereals

If I got to name generic versions of popular cereals, I’d use names like Sugar Flakes, Peanut Butter Round Things, Colorful Rings, and Bee Vomit Nut Rings. (Spotted by Robbie at Target.)

Simply Sprouted Way Better Snacks Limited Edition Ginger Snap Tortilla Chips

I think a ginger snap would be a way better snack than ginger snap tortilla chips. (Spotted by Amanda at Sprouts.)

Simply Balanced Organic Traditional Hummus and Roasted Red Pepper Hummus

Simply Balanced Organic White Bean Hummus

This would go great with one of the many Simply Balanced Tortilla Chips…or Tostitos, if they’re cheaper. (Spotted by Blaire at Target.)

Simply Balanced Potato Corn Chowder Mix

Simply Balanced Vegetarian Black Bean Soup Mix

Simply Balanced White Chicken Chili Mix

For some reason, after putting together this post, I had a strong urge to go to Target. (Spotted by Amanda at Target.)
