Bragging Rights!

Question: I began cutting coupons last year and would like to know your thoughts on where the best deals can be had. I feel as though Costco prices for household necessities (e.g. Toilet paper, paper towels, tide, diapers, wipes, etc.) are cheaper than purchasing those items the grocery store with coupons. What are your thoughts?

Can I Use Coupons and Still Eat Healthy?

Question: I used to be a “coupon queen.” But I realized that I bought more junky and processed foods, because, with double coupons, they were extremely cheap or free. On one trip during Thanksgiving, I got over $150 of groceries for only $9.50 plus a free turkey.

However, with all the junky foods I bought, my family's (and my) health declined.

Now, I feed my family an abundance of fresh fruits and vegetables - and more whole foods and organic items. We feel much better than before, but my grocery bill is going sky-high. I find that many of the loss leaders are for very processed and unhealthy foods.

Do you have any tips to save on organics and fresh fruits and veggies? How can I shop less often for fresh produce without having to freeze?
