Please let me know if I have missed something

Happy Shopping!

 

 

Since I am now personally buying more organic products, I thought it would be good to share links to coupons for these sustainable companies. Here is a list of some great organic companies who offer valuable printable coupons and coupon booklets you can receive in the mail. Like most companies, you will need to register but it will be worth it because you will be getting some great money saving coupons!

Mambo Sprouts  — I just received my coupon booklet in the mail and it has quite a few coupons with some that I will likely use.

Seventh Generation– Once you sign up you can print coupons for a variety of their products. I love their dish soap and after

coupon you can get it at Target for around $1.49/bottle. Pretty good!

Kashi – Join the Kashi community and you can receive free samples and coupons!

Organic Valley – This link is great! $1.00 off coupons for a variety of Organic Valley products!

Earth’s Best– This is a great company. They offer valuable coupons and I hear their diapers rock (Thanx C for the tip!)

Horizon – Sign up to get coupons for their dairy products.

Here are some few tips on how you can get coupons for organic foods and products. These tips can easily apply to finding any coupon not just organic ones:

1. Contact the manufacturer directly. If you like a company and/or its product, don’t be afraid to say so! Call them, email them or send them snail mail. Always leave your contact info and chances are you will get coupons sent to you. What company doesn’t like a sincere compliment of their product?

2. Just ask. Seriously. I love Method products however I never see coupons for their products. I wrote Method and told them I loved their products and if they could please send me some coupons. I received 10 in the mail! It never hurts to ask!

3. Check out your local health food stores such as Sprouts, Sunflower, and Whole Foods, etc. Often at the front of the store they have store magazines with coupons in them for various products within the store. Grab a couple and see what you can save!

4. Before going to the grocery store, check out their website to see if there are any special deals and/or printable coupons on their website. Here are links to: Sprouts , Sunflower, and Whole Foods.

5. Keep an eye out for “peelies” on the products you like on the store shelves and the “blinkies” where you can pull coupons and use them on the products advertised. **Just a note: If your store doubles coupons, you will more than likely not be able to double any “blinkie” coupons. Bummer, I know!

Every penny counts, right? I thought I would post a small list of easy ways you can save a little at the grocery store. A little bit here and there does add up to a lot!

 Just some quick tips and hints on how to save  some pennies at the grocery store:

BYOB -Bring your own bags. Most grocery stores offer .5  cents off per reusable bag you bring in. Don’t have any cloth bags? Bring in plastic ones, old purses, and diaper bags. I even use a gift bag that was given to my son for his birthday. It is made of some type of sturdy material and holds quite a bit!

Check the day old section.Normally the day old section is found near the dairy items in the store. Items can include bread, pies, cookies, and cakes. I have seen the area in Fry’s and Walmart and peruse the items often. I typically find at Walmart french bread or a baguette for .59 cents or less! Fry’s often has bakery goods discounted at 50% off. Also, at Fry’s they typically have a discounted refrigerated section with cookie dough, cheese, and yogurt. Combine the discounts with coupons and you can get a really great deal! Just be sure to use or freeze before the expiration date. I know Bashas’ does not offer discounted bakery items because they donate it to the local food bank. Love them!

Use your Grocery Card! This is by far the simplest way to save some $ at the grocery store. You can sign up online and register your card. You can load up e-coupons on the grocery store website along with Shortcuts and Cellfire. By signing up the stores use your shopping info to track trends and whatnot. Typically, you will get paper coupons in the mail as well along with special notices of sales, etc. Also, many grocery stores offer fuel discounts at their gas stations. I save .10 cents a gallon every time I fill up. That adds up for sure!

Here are links to stores that have grocery cards:

Safeway.com

Frys.com

Bashas’.com

Happy Shopping!

I don’t know about you but I love pretty much anything that I do not have to pay for! Even if it is something that I will not personally use I keep them to give to friends and family or I can donate them as well. So, here is a list that I have for current free samples. Keep in mind that most of these links require you to register with your email address as well. You will more than likely receive emails and possibly snail mail from them. I figure it is a decent trade off since they are letting me try their products for free Be mindful of what you do sign up for and what information you choose to give or not!

Here is the list of ones that are currently active that I have found:

Walmart.com Free Samples (Several samples here to sign up for!)

One of the three major keys to saving money at the grocery store is coupons. The more coupons you have, the more you save. If you have multiple coupons of the same one you can really make a difference in your spending and stock. For instance, a couple of weeks ago, Downy softener was on sale for $2.99. If you had the $3/1 coupon you would get it for free. Now think about if you had multiples of that same coupon…you could stock up on fabric softener for free!

So, how do you get multiples of the same coupon? There are a few ways to do this. Obvious and first one is to get the Sunday paper which has coupons most Sundays of the year. Some couponers subscribe and get several duplicate papers delivered every Sunday. In Tucson, there are a couple of options to choose from. You can get the local paper and/or you can get the Phoenix paper delivered as well. The bonus to getting the Phoenix paper is that there are often more coupons available and at a higher value. One positive to living in a big city, huh? Often I am irritated because a coupon is advertised through various sites and after pilfering my ads I find I do not have it because I do not get the Phoenix paper. I digress . Anyways, getting the multiples of the Sunday paper is a great way to get more coupons whether it is the local paper or the one from a bigger city nearby.

**TIP: Here in Tucson on the NW side you can go to the Dollar Tree and get the Sunday paper for $1.00! I know some fellow couponers who do this especially when there are high value or popular coupons in that week’s paper. How cool is that?! You can stock up there if you want and  pay only $1.00 per paper (as opposed to $1.50). Check out the Dollar Tree near you to see if they offer this as I am not sure if every store does.

Another tip is to always check your local library and your local community paper. We get a community paper delivered every week called the Northwest Explorer and there are coupon inserts in it. How great is that?! I don’t have to pay for them and it is basically money in my pocket. Check to see if yours does too. Also, check your local library. The same paper is delivered to the library and you could pick up a couple copies there gratis!

Here are a couple of printable coupon sites. You can generally print two of each coupon and then you have to wait until it resets:

Coupons.com

RedPlum

Make sure to sign up for grocery cards. Not only will you get the sales the stores offer, there are two great sites that you use your grocery card number and you load coupons onto them to use:

Shortcuts.com

Cellfire.com

The sites above are great. They are easy to sign up to and once you register your card you can load savings with a click of your mouse . I hate clipping coupons so this is a nice bonus – Love it!

I am running on little sleep so I will try and post more as I remember. I will get the best deals up for the week soon too!

I will post deals for Albertson’s this week if you are in the Arizona region. I think the Albertson’s on the east coast are held by a different company altogether so I am sure sales are different there. Albertsons this week is upping any coupon that is .25 or higher to a $1!! That means great savings for you and your pocketbook. One great thing about Albertsons here in Tucson is you do not need a shopper’s card to take advantage of their sales. When we went on vacation in California you did have to have a shopper’s card at their Albertsons. So check with your store if you are unsure so you don’t miss out on any savings!

I forgot to mention in my last post that if you have not signed up for shopper’s cards for the grocery stores in your town, do it! You will save a bunch of cash by just signing up and being a V.I.P. member. Often you can get fuel discounts and I get coupons all the time in the mail from my local grocery stores just by being a card holder. It is very much worth your time (which is very little). Also, as a new cardholder I am certain they will send you high value coupons and often coupons for free bread or cake, etc.

Also, on my list today there are two new abbreviations for anyone who is not familiar: SS for SmartSource and PG for Procter&Gamble.

On to the deals:

Chicken Breast, Boneless and Skinless, $1.57/lb.

Bonus:Sign up and login HERE and you can get $1.00 off Jolly Time Popcorn which would make it FREE at Albertsons this week as well!!

Today I went and purchased 3 Hefty packs of paper plates (150 plates for FREE!), 12 cans of Libby veggies, 2 boxes of BC potatoes (FREE!), 6 packages of Farmer John sausage links, and 4.5 lbs. of boneless skinless chicken breast all for $13.19!! That is a fantastic savings of over $42.00 dollars! I love great deals!

Another good thing to remember is if you find a printable coupon you think you will more than likely use, go ahead and print it. Online printables are often capped and only a certain amount total across the population can be printed. So I print some I know I will use when they are available because the item may go on sale before the coupon expires and they will stop offering them to print. Popular ones go fast!

I will post deals for Fry’s and Safeway too as I go. I am feeling a bit under the weather…ugghhh…so I may be slow going.
