Have you taken a look at the Getting Started Page or Store Deals Page recently? 

I’ve added the coupon policies to the Getting Started Page as well as a few other useful links.  The Store Deals Page has been updated to reflect the new stores being linked, and I’ve changed some of the “other grocery store” links.  You’ll also find the coupon policies for each store I cover here listed.

Do you cover a grocery store listed or not listed under the “Other Grocery Store” category?  I’d love to add your matchups to the list.  Email me the static link to the store you cover. 

Let me know if you have any suggestions or changes.  I’m working to make the site more user friendly.

You read it everywhere; too many pesticides on our crops, too many hormones and antibiotics in our milk and meat.  You may want to switch your family, but the cost of purchasing organics can seem out of reach.  Try implementing a few steps at a time to move your family into an organic lifestyle.

– Stick to your budget:  Unless you are barely squeaking by on your current grocery budget, allow a certain percentage each month to be used on organic, eco-friendly or preservative free products.  I’ve been routinely under budget for over a year.  Instead of pocketing that extra cash, we’re only giving the kids organic milk.

– Be selective:  You don’t have to completely overhaul your shopping.  Maybe you want to start with the “dirty dozen” and work on eliminating those from your diet or maybe it’s the harmful chemicals in your cleaning supplies that have you bothered.  Start out small and determine what is best for your family.

– Buy in bulk: You can purchase bulk organic food and eco-friendly supplies on Amazon.  Even better, you can use swagbucks to make the purchase!  Don’t forget to compare prices at your local warehouse store.  However, you should be mindful of the cost per unit to see if you really are getting a good deal.

– Buy in season produce:  Purchase produce that is in season.  If your buying strawberries in January, they probably had a very long ride to get to your store.  Buy from local farmers or join a CSA.  Depending on your preferences, knowing where your food comes from might be just what you’re looking for.  You should also consider starting a garden next spring to grow your own veggies.

– Use coupons: The availability of coupons for organic and eco-friendly products has skyrocketed.  Match a coupon with a sale to stretch your budget further.  You may not be able to get organic and eco-friendly products free, but cheap is the next best thing.  Make sure to stock up when you find a great deal!

How do you save on organic and eco-friendly products or what organic products are important to your family?
