Natural Grocers Kicks off Fifth Annual Beat the Time Change Blues Event

The mnemonic phrase “spring forward, fall back” may help many remember which way to adjust the clock at the start and end of daylight saving time but Natural Grocers, the largest family-operated organic and natural grocery retailer in the U.S., wants to help make this adjustment a bit more enjoyable with its fifth annual Beat the Time Change Blues event, March 11 – 14, 2023. The event is intentionally slated to run before and after the actual time change, to soften the blow of “losing an hour”. Customers will enjoy spectacular savings, free samples and sweepstakes at all participating Natural Grocers stores.

FREE COFFEE & COFFEE HACKS

Wake up and smell the extra cup of coffee after that hour of sleep vanishes with Natural Grocers!

  • Saturday, March 11: The first 200 customers at each store will receive a FREE sample size packet of Natural Grocers Brand Organic Coffee (1.75 oz).[i]
  • Coffee Hacks:Super-fuel your first mugful and “Hack Your Coffee” this March with deliciously easy Natural Grocers essentials and tips.

SWEEPSTAKES

Customers can enter in-store to WIN FREE COFFEE FOR ONE YEAR. One grand prize winner will win a weekend getaway for two to Loews Ventana Canyon Resort in Tucson, AZ. Why Tucson? Arizona doesn’t participate in the daylight-saving time change.[ii]

END DAYLIGHT SAVING PETITION

Even though the time change technically only steals one hour, studies have demonstrated increased risks of heart attacks, injuries and accidents associated with the disruption of sleep and the efforts it takes to synchronize the body’s internal clock.* Join Natural Grocers’ mission to create a healthier America and advocate to end Daylight Saving Time by signing this petition.
