FREE Organic Foods

I'm not sure if any of y'all use Vitacost.  It's like Ruelala and the like but for health products, such as organic or gluten free food products.  I've shopped there a few times and have really liked it so far.

Right now they have a great deal running that's worth me sharing.  If you sign up using this link, you automatically get a $10 credit.  It only takes a few minutes for it to show up too.  Then you can purchase a few items that are currently part of the special deal shipping for free right now.  If your items total around $10, you will get all of those items shipped to you for free or nearly free, depending on the price of items you choose.

Oh and with every order, you are able to add two free samples to your cart.  Just scroll to the very bottom of the page and click on "free samples" and add two to your cart.  Yay for more freebies!

In all fairness, I also get a $10 credit if you sign up and make a purchase.  But you can then post it on your blog to get a credit or two, too.  Honestly though, I've been shopping on this site for about a year now and just wanted to share the $10 instant credit with you.  It's a great way to stop up on a few staples for next to nothing, without leaving your living room.

I'm using this sale to stock up on a few favorites like Gluten Free crackers, coconut oil, and organic pumpkin.  I love having these on hand this time of year!

I love free ORGANIC food!

OK tomorrow I promise I will be back with a normal post.  But free food and vitamins just seemed worth sharing.

Organic Blueberries Coupon

The comment that annoys me the most when I tell people that I use coupons is "they don't make coupons for foods I buy...I like to buy veggies and organic and not Pop Tarts...coupons are only for cereal and sugar foods."

That just really gets in my craw, y'all! 

Because it's all totally untrue. 

Oh sure, there are more coupons for cereals than organic produce.  But the fresh food coupons do very much exist.  You just have to look.  Not very hard, but you do have to look a little.

This week alone I have posted several coupons for fresh meat and fruits. 

And I don't buy Pop Tarts.  Not that anything is wrong if you do.  I just don't.  Even as a kid, I never understood their draw. 

Just go here to print the above coupon for $0.75/1 Earthbound Organic Farms blueberries.  If you use it at a store that doubles, such as Price Chopper or Shop Rite, it turns into $1.50/1.  THAT is a great coupon deal!

Organic, Gluten Free and Whole Food Coupon

I get so defensive when people claim that one cannot eat healthy and use coupons.  That coupons are exclusively for processed and crappy foods.

First things first, we all have our own invisible lines.  What's crappy to you is not so to your friend.  And while I think organic is awesome, I personally feel very strongly that any vegetable (fresh, organic, canned, frozen) is better than no vegetable.  So if non-organic apples are on sale, they are what come home with me that week.  The way I see it, an apple is still better than a Snickers.  But others might feel strongly that any apple other than an organic apple from the farmer down the road is sacrilege.  See...wavy lines in the sand.

But that's not really my point.  Rather that there are in fact coupons to be found for favorite healthy products.  Including produce.

Pom frequently puts out coupons that can be used for both bottles of their Pom Wonderful juice and whole pommegranites found in the produce section.  Dole also puts out coupons for their salad greens.  There are produce coupons and they even appear in the Sunday coupon inserts.  You can also find great coupons for organic cheese, organic yogurt, organic, soy and almond milks too.

But I will admit that they are not seen as frequently as coupons for fruit rolls ups.  So there.  I admit you will find more coupons like that.  Oh that is if you are ONLY looking in the Sunday inserts.

My best advice is to look online for print coupons.  Every product has a company behind it.  Even apples and lettuce.  Look at the tag in the store to figure out the parent company.  Then go home and Swagbucks (it's the new and better google that pays you to search!) to find the website.  They won't always offer a coupon.  But I'd say more than 50% of the time they do offer some sort of coupon.  And you can usually print two/computer.

A few I found in a few minutes of searching to prove my point...

$1/1 Olivia's Organics

$1/1 Crunchmaster Gluten Free crackers

$1/1 Udi's products (my favorite Gluten Free bread)

$1/1 Better Oats

Horizon Organic Milk coupon

So the next time someone mocks you for using coupons and insists you only consume pizza rolls and lard filled cupcakes, send them my way.  I will set them straight in two shakes of a stick.  I've never had a pizza roll or a Twinkie ever.  And I use coupons.  True story.

If people are still not into coupons for healthy, wholesome foods, they can still use coupons on non-food items.  We all know that we can save mega bucks by using coupons for baby products, bath and beauty products and cleaning products.  For example, I no longer pay for make-up, toothpaste, lotion or toothbrushes.  Take that savings and buy those organic apples you've been hoping to taste.

But please for the love of savings, don't give up on coupons!

Amazing Deal On Groceries...Including GLUTEN FREE

Y'all, I find myself buying more and more online.  Especially when it comes to gluten free products.  There are just so many more options available to me in online stores. 

I just found this fantastic website last night and am already in love.  If you follow this link to sign up, they will email you a coupon code for $10.  I bought $10.32 worth of products that were just $0.32 after the coupon!!  After shipping it was a little more than $5.  For several normally pricey gluten free items. 



These are hands down my favorite pretzels and they are GLUTEN FREE to boot!


But they have much more than gluten free food products.  They have all sorts of things from dairy and egg free to organic to gourmet to baby foods to snacks to everyday favorites. 

And the best part is that you don't even need to get out of bed!  Not that I ordered from bed.  OK...I totally did.   

It's totally free to sign up.  Just click the link, put $10 worth of products in your cart, check your email to find the $10 coupon code, and relax knowing fun products are coming your way with little effort and even better, little funds.  If you are still thinking about Christmas, think about having some easy favorites (pastas, nuts, Lara Bars, etc) on hand.  Or make up a yummy food gift basket for a best friend or a family gift exchange.
