Sign up for their daily green tips and get access to coupons. Today's coupons is $0.75 off broccolettes. I wasn't going to post this, since I've never seen this particular product in any of the stores where I normally shop, but then I thought, hey, maybe you have.

Baja Fresh Eco Cup

I really like to support companies that are trying to make greener choices.

I got an email today from Baja Fresh promoting their new reusable cup. Buy it once and then refills are just $0.99 for the rest of your life! Saving natural resources and saving money-- a perfect combination.

In addition, they have some printable coupons.
$2 off an $8 purchase
and
$5 off a $15 purchase

Print them HERE


Nature's Path Granola Bars $1 off 1 box

Normally this coupon is $1 off 2 boxes-- but right now it's $1 of 1 box.
That's a really high value coupon for something that goes on sale pretty regularly.
Print your coupon for $1 off 1 Nature's Path Granola Bars HERE from Mambo Sprouts.

Vitacost: FREE Shipping with $25 purchase

Vitacost always has some great sale prices on things like essential oils, cooking oils, flours, and snacks.
So it's always a good idea to look around and see what's on sale when they are having their free shipping days.

In addition if you are a new customer you can sign up HERE to get $10 off your first order
After you sign up, you'll get a unique coupon code sent to your email.

So a typical order that would cost $25 for the merchandise and $5 for shipping, total $30, would only end up costing you $15. So an automatic 50% off. Then if you shop the sales you can end up getting some absolute steals!

If you are not a new customer, share this deal with your friends. You can refer a friend and when they place an order you can get a $10 off coupon code too.

The item I always recommend is the 54 oz tub of Organic Coconut Oil for only $20.99
That's an amazing deal all on it's own, but with the $10 off, it's almost criminal. Really. It's that good.

Vitacost Extra Virgin Certified Organic Coconut Oil

King Arthur Flour Online Sale

20 percent off your order of 75 dollars or more. click to activate. ends midnight thursday may 31

If you need to stock up on some baking ingredients, you can enjoy 20% off a purchase of $75 or more on the King Arthur Flour website. I would look for items on sale to increase the savings. You can find coupons for "ingredients" but they aren't as frequent, so sometimes 20% off is the best deal out there if you are in need.
Take a look around and see what you can see. Maybe talk to a local friend and see if they want to split it with you. Both of you spend $38 to take advantage of the sale and split shipping costs.

Save 40% off Amy Butler Belle Organic Aran Yarn in Saddle Brown 
and 50% off Rowan Purelife Organic Cotton 4Ply Yarn in Light Brazilwood

Get ready for summer with $3 off Amerigas Purchase or Refill

I know it's not a green coupon, but I got excited about it. And then I thought, if I am excited about it, maybe you would be too!

I love when you find a coupon like this because it just proves that you can find a coupon for anything.


$3.00 off AmeriGas Cylinder Exchange or Purchase

Perfect for a long summer of BBQ's.

And let's brain storm for a minute:
Cooking outside means your house doesn't get as hot, so you can run the AC less- so you are saving money and energy.

It's also a perfect venue for trying out some new grilled veggie recipes. If you can make vegetables taste good-- people will eat them. It's as simple as that. And we all need to eat more veggies.

Thus- I have justified listing a non-green coupon. Tada!

How to Coupon: Shop the Opportunity

realapple.jpg (403451 bytes)
Whenever I teach a coupon class there is always someone in the crowd who must come up to me afterwards and tell why how couponing doesn't work.
Really?
I just showed you how I turned $500 into $1000 and it doesn't work?
Their response? "Well, I tried it and I was lucky to save twenty bucks."

First of all.
Let's step back and moment and give you some well deserved praise.
You sought out coupons.
You clipped them.
You shopping with them.
And you saved $20.
That's $20 in YOUR pocket instead of THEIR'S.

It worked!
Congratulate yourself on a job well done. You've already done the hard part. 
You made the effort and you shopped with coupons.

So why is it that when I shop with $125 I can purchase $250 worth of goods, but when you shop with $125 you only get $145?

I SHOP THE OPPORTUNITY.

Let me give you an example.

We will use the Van's coupon currently available HERE

You and I both print this Van's coupon for $1.00 of 2 natural foods products.

You take your coupon down to Safeway and grab two boxes of frozen waffles for $2.99 each.
Total: $5.98.
Minus your coupon.
You pay: $4.98
A savings of about 16%.

I go to Safeway and see that Van's are not on sale. So I don't use my coupon.
The following week, Safeway has Van's frozen waffles on sale 2/$4.
I use my coupon.
My total is $3.00 or a savings of about 50%.

I held my coupon until the item went on sale and was able to maximize my savings.
I waited for the right opportunity.

I call this approach "Buy what you need, but never when you need it."

I have a budget of $125 a week. I set aside about $50 of that for milk, eggs, cheese, and fresh produce. The rest of it is for the opportunities. If toilet paper is the hot deal, I buy toilet paper. If salad dressing is the hot deal I buy salad dressing. 

If I need something, I am going to go to the store and pay whatever price is on the shelf. If, however, I buy it  when it's a great opportunity I stretch my dollar, maximize my savings, and fill up a beautiful stock pile of goods. Instead of rushing to the store to pay the premium price, I just go to my garage and grab what I need. My weekly shopping list is dictated by the sales and coupons available. I shop the opportunities.

Another example is my husband's hair gel.
He has a specific kind he likes. In the past when it ran out I would go to the store and buy another one to replace it. The jars were about $6 a piece. Then I got (2) Buy 1 Get 1 FREE coupons for them. I held onto that coupon for 5 weeks until finally that hair gel went on sale 2/$5. 
Instead of paying $24 for 4 jars, I bought them for a total of $5, or $1.25 a piece. A savings of 75%!!
And since I had 4 jars in storage, it gave me plenty of time to wait for the next opportunity to snag some more about 6 months later.

Everyone is going to find their own system, but what works for me is this:

1- Follow your favorite coupon bloggers who will alert you to the awesome sales. (why hunt for deals when someone else is already doing it for you?)
2-Organize your coupons in a binder or filing system.
3- Know what things cost. If you don't know what the normal price is, you won't recognize a hot deal.
4- Shop the Opportunities by purchasing the items you use and need when they are on sale and not when you run out. 

I am happy to help you with any questions you have regarding couponing. Please email me or leave your comments below. 

Happy Couponing!

Nielsen Home Scan Membership

This has got me thinking.
Nielson Home Scan is a company that gathers info on what people buy.
You sign up and they send you a scanner. When you make purchases, you scan the bar code. Once a week, you electronically send them the info stored in your scanner. This way they can track what is selling in America.

Just think the impact we could have if we sent in all our data showing healthy food purchases, organics, and environmentally friendly goods? We would be able to send a message that we DO care about what's in our food, that we want more organic choices to be available and affordable. Our opinions really could make a difference.

In addition to the greater good, you will also be rewarded with points for your scans. These points can be traded in for gift cards, electronics, household goods, jewelry, toys, etc.

Monsanto Corn coming to your local grocer today.



Sign the petition to ask your local grocery stores not to carry Monsanto's GMO Corn.

Walmart will begin to sell this corn NEXT MONTH. They will not tell you it is Monsanto corn. It will not be labeled. DO NOT BUY CORN ON THE COB from WALMART.

Whole Foods and Trader Joe's have officially stated they will not carry GMO's of any kind, including this new corn. If you don't buy organic corn, at the very least, do not buy it at Walmart.

Walmart only sells what makes them money.
Let the corn rot on the shelves.


50% code for Eco-Me Cleaners. Wow!

The winners of the 2011 Kiwi Awards for Best Natural Cleaners is offering up an unbelievable promo code for 50% your order from their website www.eco-me.com

If you are trying them for the first time I suggest you start with Bill, the all purpose cleaner. Streak free windows and grease free stove top with one product???? Yes, please.




Use promo code: mambo50

The Essentials Cleaning Kit is already on sale for $33.84.
With this coupon  code you can try 6 products for $16.92.

They also have a line of pet products, chemical free shampoos, etc. Those might be really nice if you'd got a pet with allergies.

I just made a fake basket to check out and it looks like you have to check out through Alice.com
It gave me an additional 20% with some automatic code, which was nice. But shipping is $6.99
You get free shipping with orders over $40.00
So get the absolute best deal, you should try to reach the free shipping level.
I put laundry soap and all purpose cleaner in my cart.
$9.99 and $4.99
50% off is $7.50
20% off is $6.00
BUT add back the shipping of $6.99 and I'm up to $12.99 again.
That doesn't seem like such a good deal anymore.
The $40 does not have to be Eco-Me only products, but those are the ones you'll get 50% off of. So see if you want to stock up on cleaning supplies or buy the baby kits for future baby showers. And then see what else Alice.com has to offer. With a little homework, this could still be a great deal.
