Calling All Creative, Green Mamas

by Chris on May 4, 2009

For all creative moms (and dads, kids, aunts, uncles, etc), Kroger is currently hosting a wonderful contest. From now until May 15, you can visit Kroger’s website and design a reusable bag. With your design entry, you will be entered into the Kroger Reusable Shopping Bag Contest. The top 10 bag designers will receive great prizes with the top winner receiving a $1,000 Kroger gift card and the opportunity of having their bag design sold in stores. Four finalists will be chosen to receive $250 Kroger gift cards and five runners-up will receive $100 gift cards.

Kroger is also offering designers a wonderful opportunity to share their designs. Once you’ve received your confirmation email on the design, you’ll be able to share your reusable bag design with family and friends. Kroger has also partnered up with Cafe Press so that you’ll be able to purchase merchandise with your design on it.

Are you ready to get designing, head on over to Kroger’s website here and let your creative juices flow.

This  contest has now  ended. Congrats to Mya B. and Ellen R. Kroger has also generously offered $25 gift cards for two of our readers. Please leave a comment below on what you love best about reusable bags and you’ll be entered. Contest ends on May 11 at 11:59 ET. Two winners will be chosen at random. US residents only. Sorry, no PO boxes.

I use one of my extra reusable bags to hang on a hook inside the pantry door. We put all our recycleables in there and my son empties it into the large recycle bin in the garage when it is full. Saves us time so we aren’t constantly going in and out of the garage and it didn’t require purchasing something to use as a container.

That you can reuse them and not have any paper or plastic bags to throw a way and they are so much better for the ecology.

I just like the feeling that I’m not contributing to waste or the loss of trees.

I love not having torn bags and not being able to use them for any other use – with my reusable bags, I can take a change of clothes to work if I need to, take my lunch in them, tote the kids stuff here and there and be more environmentally conscious.

I love the satisfaction that I”m doing my part – ever so small – to help the environment.

7 Pamela Ray May 11, 2009 at 9:48 pm

I use my dillons shopping bags every week.

8 Barbara Long May 11, 2009 at 9:52 pm

What I like best about reusable bags is that they are useful for multiple purposes. I use them to carry all sorts of items, not just groceries.

9 BRIAN E. May 11, 2009 at 10:06 pm

Thanks for the giveaway…I like reusable bags because, unlike plastic bags, the handles usually don’t break in the middle of the grocery store parking lot, covering the ground with all the stuff you’ve just bought !!!

I love using recyclable shopping bags!

We currently use ‘hemp tote bags’ for all our grocery shopping!

A lot less clutter than plastic bags and it feels good knowing that my family and I are doing ‘our’ part to help the environment and stop the loss of our ‘precious’ trees!

Please, include us in your giveaway drawing!

Thanks and good luck to all!

I love that they don’t show up in trees and in fields – it really hurts my feelings to see all of the plastic bags everywhere.

12 Victoria May 11, 2009 at 10:29 pm

I love reusable bags because they can be used over and over so I don’t add more waste to the planet. Plus, I keep thinking if the stores save money by not having to give out plastic bags that the cost of groceries might drop a little too. Thanks for the giveaway!

13 Elizabeth N. May 11, 2009 at 10:34 pm

I like how much they hold! Things that would take 3-4 plastic bags easily fit into 1 reusable bag – and I don’t have to worry about it breaking on my way in from the car!

14 Rose Clark May 11, 2009 at 10:38 pm

I always recycle my bags and am getting better about bringing my own with me to the stores. Some strores give yuo a credit for bringing your own bags. Every dime helps these days !!!

15 C Gibbs May 11, 2009 at 10:40 pm

I love that the recyclable bags are so much sturdier than eithr plastic or paper!

I love that they help the environment!

17 Nora SP May 11, 2009 at 10:42 pm

I love that they don’t break and your groceries go spilling all over the floor or rolling down your driveway, and I love that the bags are colorful and pleasant to adorn your arms.

20 Donna K May 11, 2009 at 11:05 pm

I like the fact they are reusable.

21 Gabriel J. May 11, 2009 at 11:07 pm

I love the store. I do most of my grocery shopping there. I love using their recyclable shopping bags. Make me a winner.

22 Mya Brooks May 11, 2009 at 11:10 pm

recycled bag for grocery shopping! And we recycle everything. I would love to get into worm composting!!!

23 christopher h May 11, 2009 at 11:17 pm

i like reusable bags because they’re stronger than cheap plastic ones

24 Susan T May 11, 2009 at 11:27 pm

I love that they hold more than the plastic bags. They are larger and stronger.

25 Brian D. May 11, 2009 at 11:34 pm

One thing is that they can be had for free and two, you can even own the one you design. Now, if we just had a bedazzler…(NO!!!)

26 Lindsay May 11, 2009 at 11:37 pm

Honestly I love the variety of pretty patterns they come in, I get so many compliments and I use them all the time!

27 Sarah A May 11, 2009 at 11:40 pm

It took a wee bit of time before we got used to always making sure to take our reusable Kroger totes with us when we went shopping. They are a lot more sturdy than plastic bags, and hold a lot as well. Glad to see this was implemented.

28 Renee C May 11, 2009 at 11:42 pm

Aside from the green factor, I like that they hold more than the plastic bags, making it easier for me to get the whole load of groceries inside with two kids underfoot!

29 Ellen Ring May 11, 2009 at 11:50 pm

It’s great to have a bag you don’t have to worry about tearing. The fact that it’s not adding to ou landfills is great.

30 venus m. May 11, 2009 at 11:57 pm

I keep my reuseable bags in my car at all times, not only do we use them for groceries but for our library books and for cleaning out the car , after a road trip.

31 Pamela S May 12, 2009 at 12:25 am

I like knowing that I’m helping keep our planet green for my children and their children to come. I do keep all of mine in my car and have even gotten some as gifts!!

I like the the reuseable bags because they are stronger and it helps keep a few plastic bags out of the landfill.

33 Erica C. May 12, 2009 at 1:03 am

I love that you can be creative with reusable bags…even stylish!

34 Dawn Dixon May 12, 2009 at 1:12 am
