Spud and LifeBalance Unite to Promote Healthy Lifestyle Choices

PORTLAND, OREGON (September 2008) - With oil shortages prompting endless conversations on green solutions and sustainability and the cost of healthy food items increasing beyond the budget for many families, the LifeBalance Program and Spud! have come together to offer LifeBalance members a unique opportunity to address both issues.  Spud! provides organic and local grocery delivery to LifeBalance members at a reduced rate to offer a healthy and environmentally friendly solution to the economic and eco issues families face today.

With the average American spending more than 90 minutes a week on grocery shopping and the average Spud! customer spending approximately 9 minutes a week ordering groceries, LifeBalance members find themselves with time to spend on their personal priorities.  Along with the extra time, LifeBalance members also find extra cash in their pockets because of the fuel savings offered by using a delivery service and the special LifeBalance rates offered by Spud!.

“By subscribing to Spud! our members are saving fuel, money and time.  Conserving these three items allows individuals to focus more resources on family, friends, wellness, relaxation and other aspects that are important for a balanced life,” said Dave Miller, LifeBalance Program Director.

In addition to allowing members to refocus resources on personal priorities, Spud! also assists members in selecting healthy meal options by providing a unique variety of locally grown and organic products.  Members have the option of selecting exactly what items they would like to receive or opting for the Spud! Harvest Box.  The Harvest Box introduces less common seasonal fruits and vegetables to recipients complete with unique recipes to assist with meal preparation.

Spud! was founded in 1997 in British Columbia, Canada.  Over the past 11 years the company has grown to offer delivery in California, Washington, Oregon, British Columbia and Alberta.  Spud makes it easy to live a healthy lifestyle by delivering the freshest certified organic produce and natural groceries directly to your home.  Visit www.Spud.com or www.spud.ca for more information.
