I’ve found a great resource for organic coupons!
There are coupons for food and also for body care. Just click the coupon to add it to your print page, click print on your computer and save lots of money at the store!
I’ve been hearing a lot about using coupons to save money. However, when eating natural foods, coupons can be hard to come by!
After looking in the usual places like the Sunday paper and online coupon sites, try Ebay. You can search for “organic coupons” and you’ll be surprised at what you find! (You are paying them to “clip and ship” your coupons.) I’ve bought 20 $1.00 off coupons for as little as $2.50. I’m buying these products anyway…so I’m saving a lot of cash!
One of the best ways to find healthy and inexpensive food is to shop the edges of the store. After that, quickly go into the middle aisles for pantry staples. For foods like rice, beans, grains and spices, see if you can buy them in bulk.
Here’s what I bought on my last grocery trip…the total was $179.36. I think I did pretty well, since about 80% of these things are organic. These groceries, combined with food from the pantry and freezer, will feed us for about two weeks.
When you shop, look around for the mark-down areas. This week I found salad, artisan bread and milk on clearance; everything was in perfect shape and still in date.
I’m going to try making yogurt, for the first time, with the milk I bought. I’ll let you know how it turns out!
This is what works for me, but how do you save money on your groceries? Have you found any money saving blogs? Please share what you know so we can all feed our families frugally!

Welcome to my Works For Me Wednesday post!
Since we have switched over to online bill paying we never use the envelopes that come with the paper bills.
I do my best to recycle what we can, so I was curious to see if there was a way to reuse those perfectly good envelopes. Well, I found one!
When it’s time to go to the grocery I tuck my coupons inside the envelope and write my shopping list on the outside. There’s plenty of room for my list and my coupons don’t get lost in my purse, because they snugly tucked into the envelope!
I’m SO thankful for anything to help me stay organized, because I usually go shopping with my kids. But, that’s another post in itself!
See you tomorrow for the tutorial on how to make a moss covered ball!
