I have had a relationship with Stop & Shop for a while. Even before I moved to an area where it was easy to do our grocery shopping (and buy our kids’ birthday cakes!) at their stores, I was introduced to the store through their marketing outreach efforts. Back in 2008, I wrote a post “Stop & Shop Rocks” and I still agree.
Yesterday, I received a “Healthy Recipes” themed gift basket from Stop & Shop as a “Happy Mother’s Day” gift. It included a recipe card for “Banana Cranberry Muffins”, along with several of the ingredients – flour, sugar, granola, cranberries and vanilla extract. It also included a $20 gift card so that I could purchase the remaining items at one of their stores. What a great Mother’s Day gift for a “foodie”!
Even better is the fact that Stop & Shop has another basket to send to one of my readers. Based on reader interaction over the last few months, I narrowed the recipients down to two: Shelley and Monique. Since Shelly does not have a Stop & Shop near where she lives, Monique will receive the gift basket. (I’ll do something special for Shelly in the near future though!) In any event, thanks to all of the moms who read Foodie City Mom. I wish that I could give ALL of you a special treat for Mother’s Day. (Also, if there is a special mom in your life who likes to cook, consider putting together a recipe/food gift basket for her!)
