As kids head back to school, retailers are responding to cost conscious consumers seeking values and savings for healthy kids’ lunchbox and snacks items.

Healthy natural product chains including Whole Foods, independent health and natural product stores, health and wellness studios and eco-events across the country are all doing their part by offering organic product samples and healthy coupon savings on healthy lunch and snack alternatives.

Natural and organic product retail stores are promoting healthy school lunches by hosting mobile sampling tours like the Go Mambo! in-store sampling and couponing program going on now in New England and next in the Mid-Atlantic.

Others are hosting healthy in-store organic product demos and offering parents and families healthy lunchbox and snack savings and information in time for back to school.

For more healthy school lunches, visit The Lunchbox, sponsored by the Food Family Farming Foundation, an online site offering healthy tools to help all schools offer healthier less processed food.

For its part, Whole Foods is furthering the School Lunch Revolution by promoting The Lunchbox on its blog and website and collecting donations at Whole Foods Market stores.
