Coupons for Organic and Vegetarian Food

Outside of the Internet, two great sources for vegetarian and organic coupons that I’ve found are the Mambo Sprouts booklet and the complimentary Taste for Life magazine. To find out which locations near you carry Mambo Sprouts, use the locate store feature on the Mambo Sprouts website. I found some in Whole Foods; they had a wire stand full of them at the front of the store.

The Spring Mambo Sprouts booklet has the following coupons inside:

As for the Taste for Life magazine, our local Sunflower Markets carries these at the front of their store. Last month there were coupons for 1.00/2 any Amy’s Kitchen product and 1.00/1 any Organic Valley product; this month there is a coupon for Kashi TLC bars, 1.00/1. Both my boyfriend and I absolutely adore Amy’s Kitchen food, so this coupon was a great find for me.

Deal on Amy's Kitchen Pockets at Target !

I got some good deals on frozen veggie food at Target today; they had some Amy’s Kitchen Spinach Feta Pockets on clearance for .98! I used the 1.00/2 Amy’s Kitchen coupons I had from Sunflower’s free Taste for Life magazines, so they ended up being .48 each. Considering that these usually run about 2.00 each, this was a pretty good deal. I also used some of my Mambo Sprouts booklet coupons, I ended up getting two packages of Boca Burgers for 1.24 each, and some FruitBü fruit snacks for 1.54.

Boca Burgers x 2 2.48 (MQ 2 x 1.00/1)

FruitBü x 1 1.54 (MQ 1.00/1)

Morningstar Farms Corndogs x 2 3.98 (TQ 2.00/2)

Amy’s Kitchen Pockets x 10 4.80 (MQ 2 x 1.00/2)

Old El Paso Taco Seasoning x 3 .48 (Was on clearance)

Total: 13.28

At Sunflower I mostly purchased produce. I only used one coupon, and that was on Organic Valley eggs.

Provolone 1.20

Tofurkey Slices 2.29

Shredded Parmesan 1.92

Green Onions .50

Broccoli .42

Avocadoes x 2 1.98

Bananas 1.20

Tomatoes 1.48

Limes x 9 .90

Organic Valley Eggs 3.69 (MQ 1.00/1)

Total: 14.58

I am very happy with the Organic Valley coupons in the Mambo Sprouts booklet; it brings the cost of cage-free eggs down to a very reasonable level. We rarely drink cow’s milk (we drink soy milk instead, and occasionally Organic Valley milk), and I won’t buy non-cage free eggs. Although we are by no means vegans, I personally try to minimize the amount of dairy and eggs from unknown sources that I consume. This has a lot of health benefits, as I eat a whole lot less junk food, and more fruits and veggies! I used to eat a lot of junk, but after I became a vegetarian a few years ago, I’ve noticed many positive changes in my health, not to mention in my waistline.

Flicks for Free at Vons

Vons had some pretty good deals going on this week, so I decided to get one last free pair of tickets. I spent 27.84, 3.43 of which I can get back from the Wish-bone Bountifuls rebate.

CVS Deals for 6/1-6/7

It's the 1st of June, so you know what that means! New deals at CVS! To top it off, it's also a Sunday, so I did a combination of monthly and weekly deals. I paid a little bit more OOP than I usually do, but I managed to get a bunch of things we needed.

Transaction 1

Dawn 1.00 x 8 8.00

Listerine Smart Rinse 3.49 x2 6.98

Bumblebee Tuna .66

15.64

- 4.00 (Dawn Coupons x 8)

1.00 (Listerine x1)

5.00 (5/15)

6.10 (after tax)

Used 4.00 ECB, paid 2.10 OOP and received 10.98 back in ECBs. We still have some Palmolive soap left over from a CVS deal a few months ago, but this was free, plus I can give some to my friends and family. Who doesn't love a gift of dishwashing soap? The tuna is for a friend's cat, it makes such a handy filler.

Transaction 2

CVS No Rub Contact Lense Solution 5.99 x 2 11.98

Brut Deodorant 2.5oz 3.19 x 1 3.98

15.17

-5.00 (5/15)

3.00 (3/10 CVS purchase)

1.00 (Brut coupon)

6.42 (after tax)

Used 4.00 ECB paid 2.42 OOP and received 3.00 back in ECBs. Not the best deal ever, but we need contact lense solution, so this worked out well. I will probably give the Brut to one of my brothers or friends, as my boyfriend only uses Old Spice Red Zone, and we have about a year's supply of that.

Transaction 3

Bounty 8 Pack 5.99 x 1 5.99

Charmin 9 Pack 4.99 x 3 14.97

-0.75 (Charmin .25 x 3)

5.00 (5/15)

15.38 (after tax)

Used 13.98 in ECBs and received 10.00 in ECBs back. I think we are set on toilet paper and paper towels for a long time. I didn’t take a picture of this one before I put everything away, because I needed to vacuum, so you’ll have to visualize a bunch of toilet paper and paper towels stacked up.
