Many
sophisticatedly green moms choose to feed their family in the most "green" way - organic. This can pose one of the biggest money challenges for a green mom. You value the health and well being of your family, the well being and future of the environment; but you, also, value the green in your wallet! Here are some tips I have for shopping green, while keeping your green.
Organic product coupons are not found in the newspaper; but you can sign up for coupons to be mailed to you or you can print them out on your computer (usually requires you to sign up for their site... but, then, you always get their newest coupons). I have found that Whole Foods always accepts printed coupons. Some sites to look at for organic coupons are:

sophisticatedly green mom never leaves home without her reusable shopping bags. Most stores will take money off of your final bill for each bag you use. So, save the
environment and money while looking
sophisticatedly green by bringing your bags each time you shop!
Don't forget to pick-up Wholefoods publication, The Whole Deal, in stores. This publication offers tons of
clipable coupons and great tips for money saving meals! Also, my
WF store switches sales every Wednesday, so Tuesday evening, I go through their online circular to plan my meals for shopping in advance and to organize my coupons. Whole Foods and Trader Joe's offers excellent "store brand" options that cost less. Utilize these products and their low prices to save. Whole Foods offers specials such as their Happy Hour special, Fish Fridays, and Tasting Tuesdays. Going during those select times will send you home with a full stomach and it will help you keep the green in your wallet! Sign up for their newsletter, to receive extra savings in your email box and to learn when these great events are at your store:

Enjoy your sophisticatedly green shopping!
