Organic couponing 101

One of the most frequent misinformed statements I hear about couponing is that you can only save on unhealthy food when couponing. That is simply not true! Here are some examples of where you can score some awesome deals on healthy, and even organic, items:

1. Print manufactures coupons from many healthy food companies website's
           
                    Ex: Stonyfield's website offers many coupons if you register to be a member, and so does Horizon. If you use their coupons during a sale, you can get dirt cheap organic dairy products for your entire family.

2. Look for coupons on frozen veggies-- They are not quite as good as fresh veggies, but often you can get them for free during a good sale!
                        Ex: Cascadian Farms has coupons that can be found online, that apply to ANY of their food products. Use them on their frozen veggies, and stock up when they go on sale.

3. Shop in your stores 'damaged goods' and marked down produce areas-- They stuff is still edible and can last for several days before spoiling. Kroger and Meijer are ALWAYS marking down perfectly good produce, up to 75% off sometimes.
       
              Ex: At Meijer today I bought two burger sized organic portabella              mushroom for 99 cents, because they were about to 'expire'.
