SAINT LOUIS, April 24, 2008 –

SUPERVALU INC. (NYSE:SVU), parent company of Shop ’n Save, today announced a program that enables shoppers to exchange their economic stimulus or tax refund checks for a store gift card loaded with extra money. Customers can redeem their checks for store gift cards in $300 increments, and stores will add an extra $30 to each card. This offer is available May 1 through July 31, 2008, at all Shop ’n Save stores in the greater St. Louis, Springfield and Jerseyville, Ill. areas.

Recent data shows that nearly 10 percent of disposable personal income is spent on food (1). Additionally, food prices are forecast to increase 3.5 to 4.5 percent in 2008 as commodity and energy prices continue to rise (2).

In keeping with its efforts to help families stretch their food dollars, Shop ’n Save recently launched its Wild Harvest™ brand of organic and natural foods priced approximately 15 percent lower than branded organic products and at or below competitors’ private-label organic prices. Wild Harvest addresses not only consumers’ growing preference for organic and natural products but also their demands for value, selection and convenience.

Customers who are interested in growing their refunds should bring their government-issued economic stimulus or tax refund checks, along with government-issued identification, to customer service counters at their local stores between May 1 and July 31, 2008, to purchase store gift cards in $300 increments, not to exceed $1,200 per household. Each gift card will be loaded with an additional $30, to bring each gift card total to $330. Customers will be able to purchase less than the total amount of their check in $300 increments.
