FARMERSBURG, Ind. (WTWO/WAWV) — The time change is less than a week away, and Kroger is hoping to make it a little easier.

Starting at noon EST on March 4, the grocery store chain will give away what they call the “Hour Back Box.” Kroger said in a news release that the boxes are full of items to help you “conquer the mornings after daylight saving with ease” after losing an hour.

Each box contains such breakfast items as cold brew concentrate, oat milk creamer and frozen breakfast sandwiches.

“Losing an hour of sleep during daylight saving can challenge parents and their family’s schedule,” said Tom Duncan, Vice President and head of Marketing at Kroger. “We created the Kroger Hour Back boxes to make daylight saving a little easier, helping parents and their families jump start the day with customer-favorite, morning time foods – from a much needed cup of coffee to a filling breakfast sandwich.”

The boxes, which will be given out on a first-come, first-served basis, will also contain a gift card that can be redeemed for one year of Kroger’s Boost Membership. The membership gives free grocery delivery, twice the fuel points and extra discounts. Customers can also claim a box, while supplies last, to be delivered by ordering one online.

Starting March 7, Kroger will also be giving out free breakfast items. To secure one of the 39,000 items available, go online after 12 p.m. and download the single-use coupon.
