sage finds: august 28

Another Walgreens coupon! This one is for $10 off $40 and good tomorrow and Saturday. We’re trying a new formula with one of the triplets to see if it clears up his eczema (before switching all 3), so this will certainly help me stock up. That’s the great thing about identical triplets, you can always have a control group.

I am itching to try Tastybaby frozen organic baby food. Before I order mass quantities from Amazon, I’m going to check it out locally (we happen to have one of the few national retailers near us) and will report back.

Freebies 4 Mom is talking laundry and links to Ecover’s coupon page, where there is $0.75 any product and $1 off laundry items.

Want Not has a code for $25 when you open an ING checking account. I’m going to count the pennies I make (post-nanny paycheck) when I go back to work very carefully and I definitely want my own account and debit card for that money, since I am going to try to contain certain expenditures (read: eBay) to that account. Perhaps this would be a good way to do it.

We’re going to be starting solid food with the triplets soon (they are currently 5 months, but only 3.5 months adjusted to their original due date, so we’ll be starting in 3-4 weeks I’d guess). I’ll be making a lot of our own food but I know we’ll buy some too lest we discover they all hate any green vegetable after making and freezing quarts of strained peas. There are coupons for $1/10 Earth’s Best in a lot of locations, including their website. With three babies to feed, I’ll be printing them all!

Checking in at the Taylortown Coupon Preview for this Sunday, there is actually one great coupon that will appear in the Smart Source circular: $1 off 2 Garden of Eatin’ chips. These chips are not only yummy (I think I’ve mentioned my addiction to the Guacamole chips before) but they apply towards the Barnes & Noble gift card offer I posted yesterday. So, if you buy the paper for this coupon, recycle or repurpose (paper mache anyone?) the rest and ship the coupons you won’t use off to someone who will use them, if the paper costs $1 or less and if you were going to buy the chips anyhow… that’s a lot of ‘ifs,’ but it might be worth it for you. Personally, I’ll just ask someone I know who gets the paper already for theirs.

Ooh, some organic grocery coupons! Dealicious Mom shares this survey from Naturally Savvy which promises

FREE samples and/or coupons from the following natural and organic companies:

Nature’s Path
Quantum
Dr. Ken’s
Blue Diamond Growers

It’s early and I have to get our older son to the dentist, so this is all I’m seeing out there right now. I’ll update later :)

Evening update…

Everyone *has* to check this out! Mom is Broke has posted a comprehensive list of healthy and organic coupons today for Web Coupon Wednesday. There are at least 20 coupons, several I’ve never seen before. In addition, she’s hosting her first giveaway, which in this case is 53 “earth conscious” coupons. I know a lot of those would come in handy around here.

It’s been a great day for natural grocery coupons!

A rundown of green school supplies was posted over the weekend at Green Mom Finds. We start pre-K in a few weeks (at a public Montesorri school our city… how cool is that?) so I need to find the list and see if I can get any of these items locally before turning to online resources.

This week Target also has “Green Gear” school supplies on sale:

  • Maped 5 ct recycled pencils $1
  • Recycled 500 sheet multipurpose paper $3
  • 1″ recycled 3 ring binder $3
  • 15% off recycled portfolios and composition books

Based on the deals I’m seeing at Hy-Vee HealthMarket, I wish we had one near us!

Earthbound Farms Organic Romaine Salad is on sale for $2.88. Click here for a $1/1 coupon.

Cascadian Farms Cereal, Granola, or Granola Bars are on sale for $3.00. Click here to print an unlimited number of $1/1 coupons!

As usual, the coupons will work at Whole Foods or any other store, if you don’t happen to have this store near you, either.

Online surveys usually don’t pay off in terms of what you get for your time, but it looks like the CVS Advisor program, which pays in ExtraCare Bucks, might be an exception, according to Dealicious Mom:

Sign up here to become a CVS Advisor. If you haven’t done this already, this is a good way to earn approximately 10-15 dollars in ECBs every couple of weeks for taking short surveys. I have taken 3-4 surveys and I have been paid 10 or 15 dollars each time. The ECBs have printed out a few weeks later from the scanner in the store.

It’s Sunday. Thinking about buying the paper to see what kind of coupons there are? Before you go that often wasteful route, check the Taylortown Coupon Preview to see if there are any coupons you would actually use.

I couldn’t find anything that made me run out for a paper today, but I was reminded as I was meal planning of a coupon for Muir Glen Organic Tomatoes that has been around for awhile, in a few locations (HERE, HERE, HERE, or HERE, meaning you can print plenty to use in the future). Since I’m planning on going to Whole Foods tomorrow, I also looked at the coupons in their “whole deal” flyer (PDF). A lot of canned tomatoes available at a good price, but by the size of the tomato plants in my yard, I’m guessing I’ll be stockpiling to the basement at this price instead of using the cans now!

Two quick things, one for this afternoon only…

I’m not an Allure magazine reader, but this looks like something my poor skin could use: Korres Natural Products Olive and Rye Regimen Kit (retail value: $65) The first 250 people to sign up at 4 P.M. EDT / 1 P.M. PST will get one kit free. I’ve never used one of these give-aways, so hopefully I will get through and see what it takes to get it.

At Publix, Earth’s Best Organic Baby Food Assorted Varieties, 6 Months and Up, 4-oz jar is $0.99 BOGO. You can print your own coupon, too, for more savings, or to use if (like us) you aren’t near a Publix.
