I've been inspired by the mom on Good Morning America who feeds her family of 6 for only $4 a week due to her incredible coupon clipping skills. I am truly envious that she is able to save so much money. I would love to be able to do that but I mainly buy organic and all natural products.
I have to search hard for coupons because they are unfortunately not as easy to come by. They are out there though, if you look hard enough.
Here are some ways you CAN find great savings on organic and natural items...
~Buy in bulk! If the organic cereal you like goes on sale then buy several. In the long run you will be saving lots of $.
~Consider doing a co-op with friends. Frontier is a great one where you can save lots of $ on spices, food & toiletries.
~Vitacost has great deals on Agave Nectar, Yogi Teas, baby products and name brands like Arrowhead Mills. I get all my supplements from them too!
~Follow your local Whole Foods on Twitter. They keep you informed on what's on sale. Be sure to check their website for coupons too. Right now they are offering a calender for $2 that has $30 worth of coupons in it! The proceeds from it go to charity too!
~Fiddledeedee blog has organic coupon Fridays!
~Check out Mambo Sprouts for printable coupons.
~Join the community of fellow coupon clippers at A Full Cup. I did a search for organic and found 25 great coupons for brands like Amy's, Annie's and Horizon.
*Check your favorite name brand's website. The majority of them offer printable coupons. Here are some that I've found...
~Stonyfield Organic & YoBaby has online coupons and a great rewards program.
~Pacific Natural Foods makes the best creamy tomato soup!
~Bishop loves his purple carrot juice from First Juice. You can print a coupon every 30 days for $1 off 2 juices.
~Seventh Generation offers coupons for their chlorine free diapers and cleaning products.
~Earth's Best has online coupons but you might be able to save more on them from Vitacost.
~Horizon currently has coupons for their "little blenders" and butter.
~Clorox Green Works has $3 off laundry detergent!
~Register at Apple & Eve to get their coupons.
~Newman's Own has coupons for pizza, cereal, sauces, dressing, salsa and drinks.
~Join Kashi's online community to receive exclusive coupons.
~Register online for Alexia coupons. I'm obsessed with their sweet potato fries!
~Ecover has printable coupons on household cleaners and laundry products.
*I'll be adding to the list as I find more and I would love to hear any tips that you might have too!

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I have started clipping coupons this fall, but like you have been discouraged about the few coupons for whole foods/natural foods. This is wonderful! I am very curious as to what supplements you and your family take. Could you tell me?? Thanks!
Hi Tiffany! I'd be more then happy to share what supplements I use. Daily I take elderberry (which is 68% off right now at Vitacost) selenium and vitamin D for immune support. I also take milk thistle for liver detox and Rainbow Light's prenatal vitamins. I usually take flaxseed too.
When I feel like I'm starting to get sick. I take garlic capsules (you can get them odor free) echinacea and extra vitamin c.
I've always been happy with the NSI brand from Vitacost too. I love them b/c they have a flat rate shipping of $4.95 and I usually go in on an order with my mom and sister so it comes out to nothing!
Okay.. this rocks! Thank you so much for taking the time to put such an awesome list together! When I get a few minutes I'm going to come back and go through all of the links and see which products I can get in my area.
I live in a small town in the South and oh, my, gosh.. it is really hard to find organic food much less discounts on it! The closest Whole Foods is over 2hrs away!! I have to make a day of grocery shopping to do that. lol Our Walmart does finally have an okay selection of organics but the prices are INSANE as there is no competition. I hate it that it's so much more expensive to try to eat as naturally as possible. I'll keep checking in with you b/c I have a feeling you'll teach me how to save money on this stuff. lol I need it!
Mandy~ I'm glad you like it. That's too bad that Whole Foods is so far away. If you can't find something at your local store always ask to see if they would consider stocking it. I have a Publix in my neighborhhood and they will happily get something that I ask them to. Oh and I saved $20 today on organic food at the grocery store!!!
I use Azure Food Co-op for a lot of our organics. They have grains, flours, frozen, fresh produce, personal, paper, etc. There is a minimum and you have to meet the truck and load it into your car but is it so worth the money savings!
Thank you, inadvertent farmer for sharing. I haven't heard of them so I will check them out!
