Mir at Want Not details a great price on Organic Valley milk boxes:

But look what I just discovered—they’re running a special on Organic Valley milk boxes right now! Packs of 24 are marked down to $25, plus you can use coupon code VALLEY55 to get another 20% off, so you’ll get 24 boxes of organic, aseptic milk for $20 (that’s about $.83/box).

“Deal”icious Mom posts about a free subscription to Kiwi Magazine, that also happens to come with $5 in Earth’s Best coupons. Seriously, don’t ever pay for a magazine subscription, okay? I get Kiwi, Wondertime, Family Fun, and Readymade for free, and so will you if you hunt around long enough.

And on the topic of Earth’s Best, they are offering a rebate deal right now for coupons, samples, toys and more, exactly the moment when I am no longer spending $100 on their products each week! It’s great to be done with formula, of course, but I could have gotten a lot of free stuff if they had started this promotion any earlier.

Bought anything at a cosmetics counter before you knew all the crap in conventional makeup? Like me, you’re probably entitled to some free products! Check out the list of products and then look at Skin Deep, the cosmetics safety database, to find something with ingredients you can live with. I’m looking at the Clinique Moisture Surge, myself. Here’s more information:

To be eligible for the money, you must “currently be a resident of the United States who purchased department store cosmetics in the United States between May 29, 1994 through July 16, 2003.”

A day late, but because of some newly posted deals, certainly not a dollar short!

My home-away-from-home BeCentsAble beat me to reporting that Mambo Sprouts has their new online coupons up. Mambo Sprouts also promises more deals if you follow them on twitter! BeCentsAble also links to some great coupons at eatingwell.com. I could use extras of the method and Organic Valley coupons if you’re printing any of the others and won’t be using them

The new Whole Deal flyer (PDF) is out with Mambo Sprouts manufacturer’s coupons, too. I’ll be detailing all that can be found in there later this week. So much good stuff, generally combined with Whole Foods sale prices, making it all the more a value!

Additionally, Lynn at Organic Mania passes along a great rebate deal for organic baby food at SuperTarget:

Now when you buy any 4 Mom Made Meals or Munchies at SuperTarget by January 19th, you can redeem your UPC codes for a $9 SuperTarget gift card plus special savings codes from GDiapers and Bebe au Lait! Grab your rebate form and all the details here.

So what’s green about a $5 off coupon to True Value? CFLs, weather stripping to save energy, rain barrels, compost bins… It’s a long list. And according to BeCentsAble, Lowe’s and Home Depot honor competitor coupons, so you should be able to find a store near you to take advantage! Expires December 7.

Coinstar has to be one of my favorite things. You take the change that’s cluttering up your house, car, bag, whereever, toss them in, and get giftcards back to great places like Amazon, Starbucks, and iTunes. From Mommy Making Money:

Find a Coinstar in your area that does E-certificates or Gift Cards (click on “Search for Specific Products” on their locator). Your coins are counted FREE when you choose one of these options; choose a store for your holiday shopping (Amazon, Old Navy, Lowe’s, etc.). Right now they’re running a promo where you mail in your receipt for an extra $10 e-cert when you change $40. You’ll see the details at the bottom of your e-cert printout.

I didn’t have a post in me tonight… too much sinus pressure… but a coupon for $5 off $25 purchase from WHOLE FOODS? (PDF) This is unprecendented, but let’s hope it’s not the last time. (Thanks to Want Not for posting it!)

I never read the grocery store circular that shows up, unprompted, in my mailbox each week. We buy such a limited number of items at the conventional store that I figured, why bother? Then, with all of the reading I’ve been doing about coupons, curiosity struck and I peeked inside last week. I learned that my store doubles manufacturer’s coupons on Wednesdays! Too bad the Taylortown Preview has nothing in organics again this week. I wrongly believed that most stores don’t double coupons anymore, so you may wish to check with your supermarket as well.

Via Baby Cheapskate, more BRU coupons (PDF), including $5 off $25 purchase. Too bad the $20 off on carseats expires the day before the big Britax sale is supposed to be starting!

Ecobunga reminds us that there is free shipping this month at Resusable Bags for orders over $50. Combine that with the coupon codes I’ve posted before and you can get a lot of great school lunch stuff for a steal!

I’m trying to keep myself from browsing at Goodwill Too, the new online shop. Shipping is a flat $7.99, a bargain if you’re picking up a few things.

Green Mom Finds has the coolest doormat made of recycled flip flops. I want one, but as usual, I more want to know how to make one!

“Deal”icious Mom shares a give away from Seventh Generation of one size 3 diaper. I think we’re going to switch to size 3 when we need disposables again (we go through a pack every 2-3 weeks) so this is great for us! Can I dream that some coupons might come with the sample, too?

Stonyfield Farm is promoting their new Greek-style yogurt with a free coupon. I’ll be making some tzatziki, for sure.

Since I started reading the coupon and freebie blogs recently, I am just beginning to see items show up in my mailbox that I requested. The biggest thing I learned from the huge number of give-aways out there is that companies love to give their stuff away. Also, it is just as rare to encounter a helpful customer service person when you need one as it is for those on the other end to deal with someone who isn’t irate and complaining. Because of that, I’ve found that if you ask, you may get coupons, samples, or even free items that aren’t generally available.

For example, I emailed Seventh Generation when the triplets were born, inquiring as to whether they had a multiples discount program like some of the big diaper companies. They don’t, but they very cheerfully responded to my message and sent me a huge envelope of coupons including 4 or 5 free packs of diapers and lots of $1/off other products.

When I new we would be starting solids soon, I did the same thing over at Earth’s Best, letting them know we use their formula (Similac Organic is out, long story for another time) and all of their baby food products. I didn’t receive an email back, so I didn’t think much of it. Fast forward to opening the mailbox yesterday and I had a nice letter from their customer service, three $5/off formula coupons, six FREE jar of baby food coupons, and three FREE other food item (up to $2.99)! That’s about $35 in savings for sending an email.

Granted, I have triplets, so your mileage with a singleton may vary, but that’s not really the point. I got $25 in store credit from drugstore.com when my BOGO order of Sassy products got all wonky earlier this week, and I never mentioned that I’m a triplet mama. Basically, I find that it’s worth asking, it’s worth dealing with customer service (especially virtually… all of these intances happened solely over email and totaled more than $100 in free stuff), because so few people do, and do so politely, that good things might happen to you. And when it’s a matter of sending a few emails, what have you got to lose?
