This past Fall (as a lead-in to Grey Cup), Post came out with collectable cereal boxes for each of the 9 CFL teams, in which consumers could win 1 of 250 official team jerseys. The Lions' "Sugar-Crisp" box was impossible to find (at least for me). However, I just discovered a whole pallet of them at a "No Frills" grocery store near my house for just $2.00 a box!

If anyone collects this item or wants one, please PM me and I can either save it for the season and bring it to a game, you can arrange to pick up from me, or you can pay shipping costs and I can mail it. I own this box and the Bighill/Reilly action shot on the "Honey Bunches Oats" that Post put out earlier in the 2016 season. :thup:

Yea, it's the one on 4th Avenue just east of Burrard (between Burrard and Fir). I was kind of geeked to discover so many of them as it's been a bit of a 4 leafed clover to find this item. I've seen many of the other team boxes (i.e. Shreddies/Ti-Cats, Honeycomb/Argos), but never the Lions. I considered calling Post to find out where I could get it. I struck out at Safeways, IGAs, Overwaitea....

Just went back there today, and managed to snag the last box for Kamloops Lion. No more left. I don't know if they're getting more in, but I was surprised to just see other Post cereal boxes left on the pallet when there were plenty of BC Lions ones yesterday. I guess at $2.00 a box, it stands to reason. It's a nice collectable too.

I was a little disappointed in this promotion. Yes, it was cool to get a cereal box with the Lions jersey; I have mine on display in my Lion's man-cave along with the cereal box with Biggie and Reilly. And I was totally fine with not winning a jersey as I did get 10% a single-item purchase in the CFL store.

But has anybody actually bought anything from the CFL online store? I was all set to do so when it told me what the shipping costs were going to be....$23 at the cheapest! I stopped right there and said screw it. I wanted to buy a pair of sweat pants; I don't think it is outlandish to expect a lower shipping cost. I have purchased 2 t-shirts from the Redblacks online store that cost $10-$11 in S&H.

Maybe if they offer substantial discounts will I revisit the possibility of buying something from CFL.ca but until then, no way!

Sorry for the delay.
I am in Kamloops, but have brothers down in North Van.
Maybe I can arrange for one of them to pick up the cereal box?
