In celebrating our country’s independence, Earth Fare invites all Servicemen and Servicewomen to a Heroes Eat Free cookout on Sunday, June 30, 2013 from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.

By presenting your fire, police, military, or veteran’s identification, all heroes get a FREE Burgers for Bucks meal, up to $5, at participating Earth Fare locations.

Earth Fare Cookout Procedures

For those not familiar with the grocery store Earth Fare, you go to the deli section of the store, and the cookout is usually in front of the display cases.

You fill out a menu slip to place your order and give it to the employee. That employee will then fill your order and give you your food.

Then you proceed to checkout with your items and the ticket. At our local Earth Fare, seating is available.

Our Earth Fare Experience

Using coupons for FREE Burgers for Bucks meals, our family enjoyed lunch at Earth Fare last weekend. For the $5 price, we each received a good-size burger with lettuce and tomato and a generous helping of a side. Our choices of side included a large slice of watermelon, potato salad, or coleslaw.

The ticket indicated that adding cheese to the hamburger would cost an additional $.50, but at the cash register, we were not charged. I’m not sure if we were under the $5 limit, or if our Earth Fare is just generous.

To all Servicemen and Servicewomen, we thank you for serving our country. As a small token of appreciation, enjoy a FREE meal at Earth Fare as Heroes Eat Free on Sunday, June 30, 2013. Happy celebrating!
