Healthy eating, made cheaper!


One big issue that has stopped me from eating healthy in the past (besides dry heaving at the thought of cauliflower) is that it is SO expensive!  Eating crap is so much cheaper.  You eat crap?  Not anymore!  Well..occasionally I still have lapses in judgement, but I digress.  For those of you who don't know me, I'm kind of into couponing.  OK..I'm really into couponing.  It's my drug!  It feels so good to get a ton of stuff for free!  I love being able to pay with coupons instead of cash!  It's the best. ever. in. life.  The problem is most of the food items I've been getting were super processed, bad for you food.  I made it my mission the last time our grocery store ran a promotion to get only healthy-ish foods.  I still got a couple items that aren't the best, but they aren't super terrible either.  It wasn't that hard!  If you look, you can find coupons for items that are good for you.  One website that I subscribe to that sends me a new coupon each week is Earthbound Farm Organic.  Yes...ORGANIC.  First of all, it is rare to find a coupon for produce, but it is even more rare that is it for organic produce.  I don't purchase organic everything..yet...but I try to whenever I can.  This coupon is awesome because it allows me to save money each week on a couple of organic produce items.  They even have frozen veggies, which are even better because they last longer.  Here is the link to sign up for the coupon.  They will email you each week with tips on healthy eating and to let you know your new coupon is ready to print!  It will say it's for a specific product that goes with whatever they are talking about that week, but you can use it on ANY Earthbound Farms product.  You can print 2 coupons per computer, so print it as many times as you can!  Here are a couple of websites that I use to find other coupon deals:  www.thekrazycouponlady.com and www.couponstl.blogspot.com (this one is local for the St. Louis area.  If you don't live in the St. Louis area, definitely search for a local blog of your own!)  Do you have any coupon sites for healthy food?  Share!!

Bon Appetit!
