With the recent popularity of TLC’s Extreme Couponing show, a lot of people are wondering if they can save that much money themselves without dedicating their life to coupons – and without feeding their family only processed foods. Thankfully, it is completely possible to save a significant amount of money on healthy foods for any lifestyle. Couponing isn’t one size fits all – it can be adjusted to suit anyone.
Even if you choose to purchase the same foods you currently do, coupons can save you money. Plus, with the extra money that the coupons free up, you can likely afford to actually improve your diet (or put that money towards other goals). By spending only .25 for a box of (whole grain) pasta, you gain the option to buy organic spaghetti sauce or meat to go with it.
And if you don’t want to use coupons on food, just using them on health and beauty items can save you a good bit of money. Some of the best sales and coupons are for these items. It’s completely realistic to pay .50 or less for body wash, toothpaste, deodorant, shampoo, lotion, mouthwash, etc. And these deals aren’t rare – they happen every month. By shopping the sales at drugstores (CVS, Walgreens, or Rite Aid), you can build up a supply of these items in a short amount of time – and never have to pay full price again. That’s a huge savings.
If you’re bound to a lot of diet restrictions (only organics, no gluten, etc.), it will be harder to save as much as some people can couponing. But that doesn’t mean it’s not worth it. Coupons are available for most specialty foods, especially organic items. As people have become more concerned about what they and their families are eating, manufacturers have taken notice and begun to offer more organic products and coupons. If this seems hard to believe, check out the sites below. They offer a selection of organic only coupons that can be redeemed at just about any store.
