Go Green with Kroger and Win!

Posted by Mamanista on May 6, 2008 | 173 Comments

Kroger Reusable BagsAll the cool kids are doing it–and peer pressure may actually be a good thing this time.

Grocery stores and shopping chains are offering reusable bags to their customers and Kroger is taking design straight to the customer. Keep reading for your chance to win free groceries through Mamanista, win an even bigger gift certificate if you have the best Kroger design, and even earn a free bag just by submitting a design!

  1. Submit a Design to Get Your Free Bag: Visit the Kroger Reusable Shopping Bag Contest by designing their own reusable grocery bag with Kroger.com’s easy-to-use design tool through May 23. Upon submitting their entry, designers will receive a confirmation email allowing them view their final design and send to family and friends for votes. Everyone who enters a design who has a valid Kroger Plus card will also receive a digital coupon good for a free reusable bag of their own.
  2. Win the Design Contest, and Get a Big Shopping Spree: Voting will be open throughout April and May and the 10 top-voted designs will be featured on www.Kroger.com on June 2, 2008. A panel of judges will review the 10 top-voted designs and will award one lucky designer a $500 Kroger gift card. Judges will also select four finalists who will receive $250 Kroger gift cards and five runners-up who will receive $100 Kroger gift cards. The winning designer might even end up seeing their design on a bag in his or her local Kroger store.
  3. Comment on Mamanista! for Another Chance to Win a $50 Gift Card: Two Mamanista! winners will win a $50 Gift Card to Kroger. All you have to do is leave a comment by May 23 at 11:59 PM EST with your favorite product from our Eco-Friendly Earth Day Guide for Parents. Want a second entry? Leave a separate comment with the URL to your Kroger Bag design so we can all go check out your fabulous skills.

So, to recap, you can win in three ways: get a free reusable bag just for making a design, enter to win the design contest with the big prize fro Kroger, and enter right here on Mamanista! (with a comment and/or your design) for your chance to win one of two $50 Gift Cards.

If you create a bag, don’t forget to leave a second comment with your design for a second chance to win.

    Well, this may make me very unpopular, but I have to say that, of all your listed products, cloth diapers make the most sense to me. Wash and reuse, people! It worked for millenia. Can you imagine the waste we would save if we kept those plastic diapers out of the landfills? Thanks for the contest, mamanista.
