Earth Fare Giveaway

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 KRC – 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 reason, and we’ll consider it for the prize.
The best story gets the card. So, ready, set, and get writing. Post your reason in the comments today!
You only have until Friday, June 12 to get your entry in. And, we’re waiting…
This contest is now closed. Thank you to all those who participated!
We are happy to announce that Chyna Brackeen is the winner of the $50 gift card. Congratulations to Chyna!

June 4, 2009 at 10:23 amWell I don’t know if I will have the best story, but I shop at Earth Fare as much as possible already. I am a single mother of two girls and try to give them the best possible. We absolutely love Earth Fare’s produce department. It is also the only place I have found dandelion tea (for water retention) and catnip tea (to calm my ADHD oldest child without dangerous drugs). But times are hard, and money is tight. So we don’t always get to get as much as we would like. A gift card would be awesome. We would even have to try the cookies.

June 4, 2009 at 8:23 pmI have been out of work for 6 months now and can’t find anything. This would certainly come in handy. Every little bit helps and $50 will buy a lot of staples. Thanks.

June 11, 2009 at 9:32 amI am newly employed by a non-profit after being laid off and unemployed for almost six months. My new job required me to take quite a pay cut compared to my old job (although, of course, it is better than unemployment!). I’m also the sole supporter of my family, which includes the world’s pickiest 4-year-old-boy. If he will only eat three foods, I would at least like him to eat organic, corn-syrup-free versions of those foods!
