"Consumers today are facing mounting pressure from economic uncertainty and the
desire to provide their families with good quality food," said Brian Huff, Cub
Foods president. "Cub Foods prides itself on being the premier value grocery
store in Minnesota that customers can count on." 

In response to the economic pressures facing customers, Cub has implemented
several unique value programs specifically aimed at helping shoppers save money
and stretch budgets. For example:
