I recently started using coupons and I was amazed at the amount of money I could save! On my first two bi-weekly shopping trips I saved $65 and then $80. That was a $145 saved the first month with coupons alone. As I surfed the net I realized I have a long way to go in order to capitalize upon this fine art, but I think I am well on my way.
The first challenge I was able to overcome was finding coupons for GFCF and organic items. Firstly, I contacted each company I regularly buy from to request coupons. I included my name and address with each contact. I was astonished when I actually received some coupons in the mail. There are plenty of companies that let you sign up for an e-newsletter and in turn will send you coupons as well.
Visit Frugalliving.about.com for a list of some of these companies. Other web-sites that offer e-coupons for organic and GFCF foods are:
Whole Foods has a coupon book published by Mambo Sprouts. You can get one at the cash register. The only down side to that is the coupon HAS to be used at Whole Foods, which doesn’t double coupons. But it is still money back in your pocket.
The Sunday paper is a hit-n-miss for the health conscious and those on a special diet, but you can still find some useful coupons there. I still cruise through the regular on-line coupon sites and am able to find coupons for several items that we can use. Some of the sites I have found useful are:
Coupons.com Be sure to click on the RSS Coupons button on the tool bar as well.
Happy Saving!!
