Shop & Earn on Salad Essentials
I don’t know about you, but I’m constantly running to the grocery store. Luckily, Food Lion is just a few minutes away from our home, so it’s really convenient not only because of the location but also because of their Shop & Earn rewards program. You can view and track your rewards on FoodLion.com or in the mobile app, so it’s super simple to see what you have available. You don’t have to do anything complicated. Simply sign-in with your MVP Account (or register to get one)and activate your Shop & Earn rewards on the first of every month. You’ll earn rewards on top of your usual MVP savings, and the rewards are automatically redeemed the next time you go shopping. Easy peasy. You can see what’s available for this month by clicking on Shop & Earn. And after you begin shopping, you’ll start earning towards your rewards. Check out how much I earned just by shopping for ingredients for my favorite salad! (Okay, I shopped for Easter candy and a few other things, too. It’s all about balance.)
As you can see, I’m almost at my $20 needed to earn the $4 reward from shopping the produce department, and I’m nearly at the $2 reward for the candy and gum section. I’ll be able to use those rewards next month to save money on my grocery bill. How awesome is that? But let’s get to this totally amazing salad recipe… You can find even more recipes on the Fresh Ideas Blog.
