Save Time + $25 at Spud!

Let's face it, for most parents back to school means back to rushing about on a hectic schedule.

For those of you living in Vancouver, Victoria, Calgary, Seattle, Portland, San Francisco or Los Angeles, we've got a solution: Spud!

Spud is an online organic home grocer delivering fresh, local and organic produce and groceries to your home. They feature weekly specials, discounts by the case and multiply offers. Total convenience - and a great healthy start to the school year.

We really like what Spud is all about, not just because they're yummy but also because they:

• protect the environment by buying local, organic, minimally packaged and eco-friendly products
• build community by creating direct connections between our food suppliers and customers;
• reduce the impacts of climate change by delivering groceries to each neighbourhood on a set route once a week;
• educate our customers about important food issues through our weekly newsletter;
• give back by supporting local charities and donating leftover food to food outreach groups.

To help kick off the back to school season, our friends at Spud are giving us a special offer to pass on to you. Sign up at www.spud.com and use promo code LIME to receive $25 off over your first 4 deliveries - $5 off your each of your first 3 orders, $10 off your 4th. Offer expires Sept 30, 2009. Enjoy!
