I will be the first to admit that I am not the greenest person in the world. I do recycle aluminium cans and re-use grocery bags but that’s about it. However, I’ve recently been feeling the need to change that a bit, thanks to some greener bloggers like Karen and Amy. Especially since I now have more grocery and drug store bags that I can possibly re-use, thanks to couponing! So, if you’re like me, and need to lean a little toward the green side, Kroger has some great incentive for you! Right now at Kroger.com, you can design your own re-usable Kroger bag, and when you do, you’ll get a coupon for a FREE standard re-usable Kroger bag loaded onto your Kroger Plus shopper’s card!! SO COOL! If that isn’t cool enough, you can submit your design to be voted on by other Kroger.com users for a chance to win $500 and see your bag in stores! And if that isn’t cool enough, any Mommin’ It Up readers who email me their design to jenny at momminitup dot com will be entered to win a $25 Kroger gift card from Kroger and Mommin’ It Up! BUT WAIT THERE’S MORE! You have TWO chances to win! Kroger has been kind enough to give us TWO $25 gift cards to give away. Anyone who emails me their design is automatically entered. Then, I will pick my 5 favorite designs and the readers will vote on them. You have until Friday April 25th to submit your design. Voting will commence Saturday April 26th and end at 8 a.m. Monday April 28th!! We will announce both the random winner and the voter’s choice winners on Monday. And yes, the same person can win both if the random number generator picks the same winner that the voters did.

Now, to get your creative juices flowing, here’s my Kroger bag design:

Isn’t that cute? It was really easy to do and you can even upload your own photos to use! So get thee to Kroger.com and get creating! I want to see my inbox flooded with entries! There are free groceries at stake people! Oh, yeah, and also the environment. 🙂

Oh, and in case you happen to want me to win the $500 from Kroger, you can click here to vote for MY bag design!

The winner of the $30 gift certificate to Carabella’s is Jen Berning! The Random Number Generator chose her comment number, the number 5! Jen was a year ahead of myself and Carabella’s owner Jeni Deason at our high school so it is fiitting that she won! She is expecting her second baby in a few weeks so the timing is great. Congratulations, Jen! And a big thank you to Jeni at Carabella’s!
