Eco-friendly bags and organic food savings
Just in time for Earth Day today, one of the last major grocery chains in the Roanoke Valley to sell reusable bags has rolled out its own versions in stores.
To the left is Food Lion’s new eco-friendly bag. Each sells for 89 cents, slightly less than 99 cent versions at other grocers.
Also related to Earth Day, click here to find out which local grocery stores are participating in a Go Organic campaign.
At these stores and online, you can receive coupon books for about $18 in savings on organic foods. The coupons are good until August. The local stores participating are Kroger and Ukrop’s. Perhaps these coupons will provide a little relief in your budget for buying organic foods, because generally these items are pricier.
