“Research shows that most people don’t know at 4 o’clock what they are having for dinner that night, and in many cases, these hurry-up meals result in less-than-balanced and more expensive food choices,” said Jim Smits, SUPERVALU group vice president, fresh foods merchandising. “We wanted to make it easier for our customers to answer that inevitable ‘what’s for dinner’ question by providing them with simple, convenient, affordable ideas for creating a real home-cooked meal.”
Convenient, affordable ideas for making a real meal at home
The Simply Good Meals program addresses consumers’ needs for convenience, value and family meal-time help at a time when concerns about the economy are causing changes in their eating and shopping behaviors. According to the Food Marketing Institute, 71 percent of consumers are cooking at home more and eating out less at restaurants.1 Yet on a typical weekday, nearly 53 percent of consumers don’t decide what’s for dinner until a couple of hours or less before the meal. While time constraints continue to drive demand for quick and easy meal solutions, moms frequently find that meals at cheaper price points are incomplete or less satisfying.
In addition, most moms equate cooking with emotional meaning, with eight in 10 saying they show their love for their families by making home-cooked meals as often as possible, and 74 percent saying they put a lot of care and emotion into their cooking, according to Yankelovich. At the same time, nearly 45 percent of women say they tend to prepare the same meals all the time, and others simply lack the time and skills to cook.
Simple to shop, simple to prepare
Simply Good Meals takes the time and guesswork out of deciding what’s for dinner by providing everything moms need to create a “real meal” they can be proud to serve. For example, 4:15 meal solutions will range from a ready-to-heat beef roast, potatoes and a salad; lasagna, salad and French baguette; to pork teriyaki tenderloins, a side dish and salad. Meal solutions will initially change every other week, ensuring a variety of different menus for busy, on-the-go moms. Each meal solution includes easy instructions.

Thank you so much for letting us know SuperValu is the parent Co. for all those stores! I read about all the deals for Albertsons, Jewel, and Cub… but where I live we don’t have them (very jealous). We do have a SuperValue and Save A Lot, so now I will check there for the same deals!!!! Yeah! I’m so excited! Thank you for your blog! I love reading it to find deals for our family! I feel so spoiled lately, since I’ve been couponing! We have so much for spending so little!
When I was shopping at Bed Bath and Beyond the other day, I found out that they will take up to five 20% off coupons at one time and you can still use your $5 off coupon on the resulting total. So, you can buy five items, get 20% off each of them using five 20% off coupons and then get $5.00 off whatever the total is. They will also take expired coupons, so I save all of my coupons no matter how long ago they expired and use them whenever I need to purchase a birthday or Christmas gift. And, if you can pick up things when they are on sale and use the coupons on top of that, you can save a ton of money.
