Let’s face it, this is a great deal from King Soopers! KEEN is known for its high-quality, durable athletic shoes. With all that’s going on in the world, the Portland-based company decided to use their high workmanship and materials to also make face masks.

The rosy sale continues for another week! Stop and smell the roses…and savings! King Soopers is blooming with a great deal this week on its Bloom Haus roses.

7 Farms and Orchards Where You Can Pick Your Own

What You Need To Know Now About Denver’s New Plastic Bag Fee — Effective Date Changed
Every shopper in Denver is going to have to bag a new fee, come this summer. Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you should know the environmental challenges plastic bags cause for all of us.

UPDATED: 36 Local Places To Order & Buy Produce, Fruit, Meat & Grocery Staples
Just added: Romano’s Macaroni Grill. Sometimes it’s easy to forget that Colorado is, by nature, an agricultural state. Though it may be a month or more before our farmer’s markets open (they are considered essential businesses), in the meantime there are other options instead of the supermarket for locally-grown fruit, vegetables, meat and more. Some are wholesalers who are opening their doors to retail customers because of so many restaurant closures. Others are restaurants, butcher shops, farmers or specialty retailers. We plan to update this list, so bookmark it and keep checking back. [Read more…] about UPDATED: 36 Local Places To Order & Buy Produce, Fruit, Meat & Grocery Staples

Expires On, Sell By and Best Before…What Does It All Mean?
With extra time on your hands, you may want to take on the task of cleaning and organizing your pantry and refrigerator. There’s a good chance you’re buying food you probably already have in your kitchen (especially if it’s unorganized) — just hidden in the back or under other products. On the other side, you may have “expiration police” in your household. Those who refuse to consume anything expired and are quick to toss anything “old” in the garbage. They’re always the ones searching for an expiration date on every package. [Read more…] about Expires On, Sell By and Best Before…What Does It All Mean?
