Queen of The Grocery Scene, Jewel-Osco #NotGoingAnywhere


Disclosure:  We are happy to be working with Jewel-Osco on a sponsored campaign through January 31st and have been compensated for sharing this information with our readers.   As always, all opinions are our own.

This is our final sponsored post in our partnership with Jewel.   We've introduced you to a number of great offers, taken a trip back in time to the 1950's when my own dad began his first job at Jewel, showed you a sweet treat for the big game, and we've talked about Jewel not going anywhere when other large grocery chains are closing up shop.



Yes, Jewel-Osco is Queen of The Grocery Scene, in Chicago, or in other words, Jewel rules!   Convenience is key, and as we've mentioned before, Jewel-Osco is on your block and in your corner.

This winter has had two settings, 50 below or dumping snow!   We've had the 3rd snowiest January on record and repeat run in's with the bone chilling, Polar Vortex.  It's been crazy enough to coin new terms like hash tag #chiberia and #snowpocalypse.

In weather like this, "NotGoingAnywhere takes on a whole new meaning and close is crucial!   We're a brave and hardy bunch here in Chicago, but in 50 below temps and 10" blizzards, cross town drives aren't going to happen.

Jewel-Osco is our neighborhood store and our go to choice for everything from first aid for our competitive gymnast's sprains and strains to food for our newborn Guinea Pigs, who arrived in the middle of the last Polar Vortex.  Meet Vortex, Charlie & Cheekums.  Despite the brutal wind chill, we made a run to Jewel-Osco for kale, Brussels sprouts, and carrots to keep mama Guinea Pig, Bweep, happy and healthy and full of vitamin C for her new arrivals.  She's better about eating her veggies than my kids are!

You never know what you're going to need in the middle of a blizzard or Polar Vortex!   Close IS key.   And Jewel-Osco is everywhere.



Rest assured, your Jewel-Osco is here to stay.
