I actually remembered to take my reusable grocery bags to Kroger on Sunday. I only have three, and they are a rag-tag batch of bags I've picked up over the past couple of months. Did you know Kroger gives you MONEY OFF your groceries for each bag you bring in? I need to get more bags but I want some that are cute.
Of course Kroger has a solution to my problem!
Beginning April 6 and running through May 15, Kroger is inviting customers to visit www.kroger.com/green to enter the Kroger Reusable Shopping Bag Contest. The contest gives Kroger customers the chance to design their own reusable grocery bag with Kroger.com's easy-to-use design tool.
Upon submitting their entry, designers will receive a confirmation email allowing them view their final design and send to family and friends for votes. An expert judging panel will rank the top bag designs, with special consideration given to those designs that have the most votes.
Great prizes will be awarded to the top 10 bag designs, with one lucky designer winning a $1,000 Kroger gift card and the chance for their bag design to be sold in stores. Judges will also select four finalists who will receive $250 Kroger gift cards and five runners-up who will receive $100 Kroger gift cards.
Kroger has also partnered with Café Press so designers can purchase a reusable bag (and other merchandise) with their design on it.
AND if you create a bag, you get a free bag!
Go and look around the site and vote for your favorites. Lots of people have already submitted designs and you could make your own fabulous design and win free groceries and possibly see your bag design in Kroger stores.
Kroger has also given me TWO $25 gift cards to give away. All you have to do is leave me a comment telling me if you use reusable shopping bags or if you forget them in the car like I do all the time.
Get busy designing!
In order to win, leave me a comment before 6 pm CST Friday, May 1, and I'll pick TWO lucky commentors to receive $25 gift cards! You can earn additional entries by tweeting about the contest, subscribing to my feed, or adding my button to your sidebar or a post. Leave a separate comment for each entry you qualify for.
