• 5 Runners-up will receive $100 Kroger GC (which may be used at Smith's)

• 1 Grand-prize winner will receive $1,000 Kroger GC and could see his or her bag design sold in stores!

Slavetosave's Review
I designed my own reusable bag today! It was fun and super quick. The online tools were creative and easy to use, and you even have the ability to upload your own photos or graphics to be used in your design. My favorite part of the whole process is the ability you have to order your bag at the end of the design!

Kroger has partnered with Cafe Press so that you can order your reusable bag design as a grocery tote ($12.99), apron ($16.99), Sigg water bottle ($24.99) or hat ($11.99)!

{The bag I designed}

Smith's was nice enough to send me a $25 American Express gift card from their One-Stop Gift Card Shop so that I can order my own bag design from Cafe Press! Sweet!

Win it!
Smith's has generously offered one reader a $25 Cafe Press gift code so they can order TWO of their own reusable bag designs for FREE!

Kroger is generously offering one lucky winner a $25 Cafe Press gift code so they can order their own bag design free of charge, as well. This was an unpaid review and the opinions here are expressly my own.
