In case you don’t know it, my favorite grocery store in the world – Earth Fare – is getting ready to open a new location in Bearden. I can hardly wait for the big opening, which puts a location closer to my home. To put the icing on THAT cake, Earth Fare has sent me a special offer for you guys. Check it out and let the stories begin!
Economic times are tough. We all know that. And, Earth Fare, the healthy supermarket, seems to know that too. Have you been to their stores? If so, you would know that they are always trying to make healthy eating affordable, easy and delicious! Seriously – have you tried their homemade, all-natural chocolate chip cookies – if not, it is .99 cents of deliciousness! Well, in celebration of the opening of their new Knoxville store on June 17th, Earth Fare gave me a $50.00 gift card to give away! Yeah, very cool. They just said, hey Jen – give this away for us.
So, now, we want you to tell us why you deserve or just plain want this gift card. We’ve all got stories. You may have a family of four to feed on a tight budget. You may have lost your job recently and just need some extra help. You may be a cookie lover or organic food nut! Or, perhaps for whatever reason, you’ve never tried a healthy food store and just want to see what it’s like! Give us your best, most clever or funny reason, and we’ll consider it for the prize.
Winner will be selected by random drawing from stories submitted. So, ready, set, and get writing. Post your reason in the comments below today! You only have until Friday, June 12 to get your entry in. And, we’re waiting..
Good luck!
I would love to win the gift card! My husband is unemployed so money has been super tight. Since then we have been skimping on the organic and fresh(except on baby food because I ds likes earths best and they have better flavors)But yeah I am tossing my name in the hat. Thanks!!!
I would love to get the gift card. We are trying to cut corners where we can with a baby on the way and I would be super excited to win because every little bit helps right now.
I started reading this post and I saw your name – Jen. It’s my name too. Jen needs the gift card.
I love Earthfare and shop their when I can afford it. No matter how tight money is I go there for one thing, Cat food! I have an older cat with various health promblems and the natural low additive food is the only thing that keeps her from putting on wait.
I would love to win the gift card! I have never shopped at Earth Fare but have always wanted to try it out. I am a student,so any help is always appreciated!
Eating healthy on a budget? It can be done, but it means a lot more planning–something that is hard to do with a 6 month old. Before I got pregnant with my 3rd, I went on a diet where my only change was eating organic and eliminating soy from my diet. This means that the coupons for most mayo’s, salad dressing, meat substitutes, and anything processed were basically worthless. Anyway, I lost 12 lbs. so to me spending the extra is worth it, but if I could get some financial help occasionally, it would be even better!
I have been out of work for about a year now since they layed me off. My husband worked for SeaRay and was layed off. Its really hard to make ends meet right now and the gift card would be really nice right now. Thanks
I would love to win I am unemployed and money is really tight so we have not been able to buy as much organic food.
I would love to win this gift card. My husband has been trying to get me to buy more organic foods, but it never seems to fit into my tight grocery budget.
I have never been into an Earth Fare store, one of my daughters have and she loves it, but I would probably give the gift card to my mother in law. She does alot of shopping there and is recently widowed. She has been working 2 jobs to make ends meet and has been battling loneliness as well. Her birthday is in June so that would help to make a really nice birthday for her. Thanks for the giveaway opportunity!
We started eating healthier when our daughter was born 3 years ago. Now most of our foods are organic or at least organically grown. I would love to win the gift card to help us buy even more organics! Thanks for the chance to win!
We’re a family with 4 growing boys trying to eat healthier. Every little bit helps!
I would love to win the gift card. Trying to feed a family of six in a healthy way can be challenging…especially if one child is allergic to eggs and nuts and the other to high fructose corn syrup. We love Earth’s Fare and would love to win.
I would love to win the card!! I have longed to shop at Earth Fare but being a frugal ,homeschooling mom to four kids ,living off of just my husbands income and both of us attending college as well we have yet to have “extra” money to try the organic and healthy place out.
I have never been to Earth Fare because I’ve never been to Turkey Creek. I want to see how long I can go without going there. I have been tempted by Earth Fare, but now that one is opening in Bearden near Mayo’s Garden Center, I won’t have to go to TC!
May be a stupid reason, but that’s my reason for wanting the gift card. I will shop at a Bearden Earth Fare.
We LOVE Earth Fare! We go through milk like crazy around our house, and their organic milk is delicious–which contributes to us drinking even more of it.
We go out of our way to go to the Turkey Creek store, so it’s great to see them opening up a store in Bearden!
I would love to get the gift card. I am an organic gardener and a frequent Earthfare shopper. I live in North Knoxville, so I am really looking forward to the new Bearden location!
Voting is closed. The winner has been selected and notified. Thanks to all the submissions! Stay tuned for more give aways in the near future… and keep eating healthy, local and organic!
