I took a huge pile of coupons to the natural food store today. I think that may have been a first for the cashier there. She asked me how I managed to get so many - I told her I still had a huge pile I wasn't using today. 
The store had a coupon too for basically 10% off your total purchase, so it was a good trip. I spent a decent amount of money for really healthy food that I can feel good about.
I signed up for a couple of newsletters today from Organic Valley and Seventh Generation - hoping for some good offers from both of those companies.
I had enough points accrued at the old credit card to cash out for a gift card, so I took care of that today. I have to keep the credit card open if we're going to use the hotel or car vouchers that I have, but other than that I'm not using that card anymore.
I took advantage of a free shipping offer at drugstore.com and got points for my shopping there through mypoints at the same time. I needed more of one of my supplements, and then they had Luna bars on sale so I bought a box of them. At less than a dollar a bar it was cheaper than the grocery store.
I have to drive to DD's school twice today - I drove this morning for the carpool, an then I have to go back again this evening for a parents meeting. Thank goodness for carpooling - it has really helped with time and money this year.
We took our neighbors out to dinner last night, to thank them for the times they've done pet-sitting for us. It's nice to have good neighbors to rely on.
Coupons and savings galore

BTW, Wild Oats not only takes coupons, but supposedly has the Mambo Sprouts booklets free for the asking. I don't have one here...
Anyone know if Trader Joe takes coupons?

I've always assumed TJ's doesn't accept coupons, but who knows? Maybe I ought to call and ask. I didn't think our other local store would, but they do!

If you direct me to the sites, I'd be happy to sign up for coupons and send them on to you as well. I'm sure organic food gets pretty expensive, and I wouldn't use them...
