Saving Money on Organic Food

Organic food is the way of the future. With no pesticides or extra chemicals, it's the food of choice for many families today. Although it may indeed be the food of choice, it's not the food that many can afford easily. Here are some tips for making this food cost less.

Coupons

Combining coupons with a store sale is a big hit these days, not only for the organic crowd, but also for those just looking to score a great deal on regular grocery items as well. Coupons can save a family a significant amount of money. While it takes some work, it is well worth it in the end. A great source for organic coupons is the website of the product itself. The website www.stonyfield.com has several coupons for use for their products that you can print directly from your computer and they expire ten days after being printed. The great thing about these coupons is that if you have a store that doubles coupons you get even more savings. For example, on their website now they currently have an offer for fifty cents off a half gallon of milk. If you take that to a doubling store you automatically get a dollar instead of that fifty cents. That takes your milk price down to roughly $2.75.

Clearance

Due to organic eating being a new phenomenon, many products are being developed but not well received by the traditional shopper. Many are used to the products they have always purchased and aren't interested in a new one. At your local grocery store's clearance section they may from time to time have organic items marked down for shoppers. This isn't because they aren't any good or because they are expired, it's often because the product isn't selling as well as they had hoped. At times you can get organic spaghetti sauce or cereal for less than half the cost that it normally is. When this happens, you can stock up and have a large stash to last your family a considerable amount of time.
