Celebrating Earth Day with Jewel Osco #Giveaway

You may have seen my post earlier in the month that I was planning to celebrate “Earth Month” with Jewel Osco. My local Jewel Osco store recently remodeled and expanded their natural and organic foods selections. The new section is two full aisles plus an amazing produce section that is huge and has awesome healthy, convenience items, too. Throughout the store, there are healthy items in end caps and signs telling you about good for you and local products. I am impressed and excited. You know that I LOVE the deals on some great items I love and new finds, too.

Yesterday, Amanda and I went to our local Jewel at 3521 N Broadway for the “Earth Month Extravaganza.” There were sample bags for the first 50 shoppers (and I snagged one for a lucky reader – so read on!), seventeen food / product sampling stations and a big raffle.

We tried all the foods and drinks!

We started with Angie’s Boomchickapop outside and then went in to check out the store, specials and samples. We entered and found the Earth Month stand at the front of the store. We got our sample bags and the lay of the land and set out to try juices, cereal, coffee, GF pasta, healthy candy bars and soup from Amy’s Organic, organic Tostitos and even a pear cider in the alcohol section! There were coupons and samples for great home products from Eco and Sun & Earth, too.

I showed Amanda the awesome Natural and Organics Food aisles and we picked up some items to try. We noted many of my “finds” among the shelves and the excellent prices and sales on healthy items. I love to see my local store upping their game when it comes to healthy items!
