The month of March marks the transition from winter’s chill to the promise of spring—but for millions of Americans, the season’s first big shift comes with the start of daylight saving time on Sunday, March 9, and the dreaded loss of an hour of sleep.
To help ease the adjustment, Natural Grocers, the nation’s largest family-operated organic and natural grocery retailer, is bringing back its ‘Beat the Time Change Blues’ event from March 8-11. Shoppers can enjoy deep discounts, free samples, and exciting sweepstakes at all participating stores.
In addition to deep discounts, Natural Grocers will offer customers coffee samples, plus the chance to win free coffee for a year or a trip for two to Arizona.
Saturday, March 8: The first 200 customers at each store will receive a FREE sample size packet of Natural Grocers® Brand Organic Coffee (1.75 oz.)
Saturday, March 8: Customers can enjoy a free pop-up coffee bar from 10am – 12 noon at select stores and sample ‘coffee hacks’, incorporating energizing and health-boosting ingredients like MCT oil, pasture-based butter, spices, and sweeteners.
March 8-14: {N}power members will get 25% off all coffee and teas.

Losing just one hour may not seem like much, but research links the time change to higher risks of heart attacks, accidents, and sleep disruptions. While we can’t opt out of this outdated practice on our own, we can take steps to support our well-being through the transition—and keep pushing for change.
