Evening update…
Everyone *has* to check this out! Mom is Broke has posted a comprehensive list of healthy and organic coupons today for Web Coupon Wednesday. There are at least 20 coupons, several I’ve never seen before. In addition, she’s hosting her first giveaway, which in this case is 53 “earth conscious” coupons. I know a lot of those would come in handy around here.
It’s been a great day for natural grocery coupons!

Ohdeeoh pointed me towards a fun project at good + happy day, a mail kit for preschoolers to create notes for friends and family members. My 3.5 year old is an avid stamper and we have lots of out-of-town family, plus I love the idea of cutting up packinging or magazines for him to resuse. Maybe I’ll make two, one for his cousin in the Mountain states who would be on the receiving end of a lot of his notes.
Mommy Making Money did a good write-up of Once a Month Cooking. When I go back to work (soon!), this is definitely something I am going to do, especially since it is very compatible with fall/winter eating. Right now, I don’t want anything made ahead and frozen when there is so much fresh and wonderful around us.
Surely You Nest takes on school fundraisers and provides a wealth of greener options. As a first time school parent this year, I’m betting this is going to be a new issue for us. Exciting to know there are better options than magazines and reams of wrapping paper!
Organic Mania is offering a Twitter feed in case you want to hear where she’s spotting low cost organic groceries as it happens. I have yet to sign up for Twitter, but this is making me consider giving it a shot…

It’s Sunday. Thinking about buying the paper to see what kind of coupons there are? Before you go that often wasteful route, check the Taylortown Coupon Preview to see if there are any coupons you would actually use.
I couldn’t find anything that made me run out for a paper today, but I was reminded as I was meal planning of a coupon for Muir Glen Organic Tomatoes that has been around for awhile, in a few locations (HERE, HERE, HERE, or HERE, meaning you can print plenty to use in the future). Since I’m planning on going to Whole Foods tomorrow, I also looked at the coupons in their “whole deal” flyer (PDF). A lot of canned tomatoes available at a good price, but by the size of the tomato plants in my yard, I’m guessing I’ll be stockpiling to the basement at this price instead of using the cans now!

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:
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.)
I wonder if their hamburger rolls will be part of this sale… we discovered earlier this summer that they’re really tasty.
