Challenge: Deals on Organic and Natural Products

I like to eat organic food - I don't like all the chemicals in processed food - but organics are often quite expensive and don't fit in the budget very well.  A friend of mine had a simple request for me: "Can you post when you find deals on organic products?" and that question spurred me to challenge myself to write an entire post devoted to organic deals!

Coupons

First, coupons!  I found several organic/natural products with coupons on various sites.  Some products I am not very familiar with, so please understand that I am no expert and may have found things that are not actually organic/natural.

Coupons.com - I found these coupons without entering a zip code unless otherwise marked.

Amazon.com

One of the best ways to get good deals on organic products is through Amazon.com.  To sweeten deals, you can use the "subscribe and save" feature on some items to save 15% (can be canceled at any time) and you can use gift cards earned by searching the internet using Swagbucks!  Check out my previous post for details on Swagbucks.

Just go to the Amazon's Natural and Organic storefront to search for what you like.  They currently have 15% off Enjoy Life Gluten Free products.

Other Savings Methods

Don't underestimate the importance of customer service!  Find a company you enjoy and call or email them.  Companies love to reward customers for feedback on their products.  Tell them how much you love it or simply ask if they have a coupon promotion going.  I have gotten many high dollar coupons this way including coupons for free product!

Free samples!  Many times, free samples come with great coupons inside!  Sign up for samples and enjoy getting your mail each day!

Farmers markets and local co-ops are great ways to save on great produce.

Final Thoughts
I recommend having a "junk" email address devoted entirely to online offers/subscriptions.  This way, you protect your main email and don't risk missing important information.   Lastly, Target offers many natural and organic products.  Check the Target website for Target coupons.  If you happen to have a manufacturer's coupon as well, you can use both on one product!

Please let me know if you come across any other great deals!  Happy deal hunting!
