Go Green with Kroger Giveaway: $25 Gift Cards

by

Win a $25 Kroger Gift CardLooking for another green freebie? Well, look no further. Kroger wants to give you a reusable shopping bag just for entering their reusable shopping bag contest. All you have to do is design your own reusable shopping tote, and they’ll credit your Kroger card for the cost of one of their bags.

Even better? When you submit your design, others will have the opportunity to vote for their favorite design. 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!

How’s that for an incentive to go green? And yes, that’s my not-so-creative bag pictured above.

Need another incentive?

Kroger has generously given me two $25 gift cards to pass on to two lucky winners to help draw attention to their green efforts. I hope you’ll all take a minute to create a bag and submit your design!

How can you win?

Share your biggest barrier to using reusable shopping totes. Is it hard to remember them? Do you have difficulties bagging your items? Would a small credit for using them be an incentive? Can you think of any ways to solve the issue? I’m just interested in your thoughts on the whole issue.

    My biggest barrier would be forgetting to bring them. I have so many of the bags and I NEVER bring them with me to the store!!

    I think my biggest barrier is that I always forget them! Another downfall is if I’m buying a lot of produce or bread and I do remember them I don’t want to put that stuff in with my heavy cans and meat for fear it will all get crushed!

    remembering to get them out of the car and use them! I’m sure if I really try, I can remember.

    Big biggest barrier is that I am distracted with getting my 3 kids in the car and I forget that I need to grab those bags. I often leave them at home for that reason.

    My biggest barrier is sometimes having enough reusable bags. But incentives for free reusable bags, like Kroger’s bag design contest, helps me get more bags for FREE.

    The biggest barrier I face is that I do monthly grocery shopping…I only have 3 bags and if I remember to bring them they are usually buried at the bottom of the cart and I forget them because I’m too busy making sure my 3 kids aren’t “adding” to the list.

    Ok, I hate to have the answer everyone else does but I have a hard time getting them from the house to the car and finally into the store. BUT I LOVE when I remember them!! They are much stronger and hold WAY more then those dinky plastic bags :)

    I have two barriers. 1. I forget to put them back in the car after I’ve unloaded them. 2. I need more! I’m trying to make it a habit of hanging them on the front door after I’ve unloaded groceries so I won’t forget to put them back in the car. I love to use them though. I’m a “one trip” kinda girl. More fit in the bag and its easier to throw the bags over my shoulder!
