sage finds — august 7

Two quick things, one for this afternoon only…

I’m not an Allure magazine reader, but this looks like something my poor skin could use: Korres Natural Products Olive and Rye Regimen Kit (retail value: $65) The first 250 people to sign up at 4 P.M. EDT / 1 P.M. PST will get one kit free. I’ve never used one of these give-aways, so hopefully I will get through and see what it takes to get it.

At Publix, Earth’s Best Organic Baby Food Assorted Varieties, 6 Months and Up, 4-oz jar is $0.99 BOGO. You can print your own coupon, too, for more savings, or to use if (like us) you aren’t near a Publix.

let’s get this party started

Woo! What seems to be a monthly coupon from Walgreens is out for today only:

I’m going to use mine for Similac Organic. My triplet boys are 4 months old and I’m not able to breastfeed them exclusively, so I supplement with organic formula. Organic formula that never goes on sale, of course. These coupons plus formula checks (sourced across the internet and the subject of a post someday) help make it affordable for us.

I am also a big believer in voting with our checkbooks. Similac is the only major infant formula company to offer an organic version, and our purchases of it sends an important message to them and other companies that we’d like to see more products like this in the marketplace. For many of us, green living is not a fad, and seeing a variety of organic products in conventional stores is still shocking. Shocking, but very convenient!

Other green parenting products you might find at your Walgreens include white vinegar (good for endless numbers of household cleaners and all-purpose laundry girl Friday, gardening spray bottles that can be repurposed for said cleaner, or organic premade baby food from Gerber.

What will you buy at Walgreens today?
