sage finds — august 11

A rundown of green school supplies was posted over the weekend at Green Mom Finds. We start pre-K in a few weeks (at a public Montesorri school our city… how cool is that?) so I need to find the list and see if I can get any of these items locally before turning to online resources.

This week Target also has “Green Gear” school supplies on sale:

  • Maped 5 ct recycled pencils $1
  • Recycled 500 sheet multipurpose paper $3
  • 1″ recycled 3 ring binder $3
  • 15% off recycled portfolios and composition books

Based on the deals I’m seeing at Hy-Vee HealthMarket, I wish we had one near us!

Earthbound Farms Organic Romaine Salad is on sale for $2.88. Click here for a $1/1 coupon.

Cascadian Farms Cereal, Granola, or Granola Bars are on sale for $3.00. Click here to print an unlimited number of $1/1 coupons!

As usual, the coupons will work at Whole Foods or any other store, if you don’t happen to have this store near you, either.

Online surveys usually don’t pay off in terms of what you get for your time, but it looks like the CVS Advisor program, which pays in ExtraCare Bucks, might be an exception, according to Dealicious Mom:

Sign up here to become a CVS Advisor. If you haven’t done this already, this is a good way to earn approximately 10-15 dollars in ECBs every couple of weeks for taking short surveys. I have taken 3-4 surveys and I have been paid 10 or 15 dollars each time. The ECBs have printed out a few weeks later from the scanner in the store.

It’s a good day for organic deals…

Do you shop at a Co-op Advantage affiliated natural food store? We are fortunate to have a small chain of co-ops in our city in their network. It’s More Than Enough has a detailed run down of what is on sale this month, which is so helpful because I invariably lose the insert that comes in the monthly co-op bulletin.

Some highlights:

Buy $10 of the following products and get a $5 Barnes and Noble Gift Card. Buy $20 of the following products and get a $10 Barnes and Noble Gift Card. Items included in the rebate are:
Garden of Eatin’ snacks, WestSoy and Kidz Dream non-dairy products, Health Valley cereals and snack bars, MaraNatha nut butters, Spectrum Children’s DHA and Earth’s Best Sesame Street, Tots, Kidz and Frozen Foods. Click here for the rebate form! Expires 9-30-08.
I’m excited because we’d be buying a lot of these items anyway! (My weekly allotment Garden of Eatin’ Guacamole chips alone can get me to $10.)
Stonyfield Farm Organic Smoothies are on sale for $1.39. Click here to use this .50/1 coupon. Final price is .89.
Rudi’s Organic Bakery Organic Bread is on sale for $2.89. Click here to learn how you can get a .75/1 coupon. Final price is $2.14!
I wonder if their hamburger rolls will be part of this sale… we discovered earlier this summer that they’re really tasty.
Cascadian Farms Organic Vegetables are on sale for $1.59. Click here to print an unlimited number of $1/1 coupons! You will have to register at their site and then click Free Coupons. It will appear to be a Muir Glean coupon, but scroll down. Cascadian Farms is on the bottom. Final price is .59!

Want a $2 off coupon for CVS? You’ll have to download the entire Richmond Parents Monthly magazine (PDF) to find the coupon (good until Sept. 28 ) on page 30. Please don’t print the whole thing just to get that coupon, that’s not very green :)

Updating the Dawn deal this week, the sale is for $0.88, and with Sunday’s $0.50/off coupon, you can actually walk away with this cloth diaper cleaner for $0.38! I’m so curious about this method, I think I will definitely get some this week since the price is so reasonable.

I just filled out this form for a coupon for a free bag of Iams. Good for dogs or cats!

I’m still catching up on all of my regular reads to see what coupons and bargains are out there right now, so I will update if I find anything!
