Eating Natural & Organic...

For my natural and organic Clippers-please stop by and check out my article on how to purchase natural and organic foods on a budget!

For those of you know me personally, you know I write for my company's employee blog. I thought I'd share the article for this week since it is such a popular topic in the coupon world!

You can visit the CSU Lifeline to read, Alabama ranks No. 2...and we are not talking about college football!

I included a list of some popular natural and organic brands to check out. These all have direct links to print some coupons or request them! Here are some tips when shopping for these products:

• Products with the label, Natural or All-Natural, indicates that a food is minimally processed and does not contain manufactured products.
• Organic foods are produced using methods that do not involve modern synthetic outputs. Companies that claim their products are Organic are heavily regulated by the USDA.
• Natural and organics are generally more expensive then conventional food items so in order to purchase more of these healthy foods, eliminate the urge to buy "junk" like cookies, ice cream and chips. You can replace the bodies cravings for these with fruits and veggies.
• If we could all afford to buy just natural and organic foods, we probably wouldn't be couponing. Focus on buying foods that are more beneficial in an organic form like fruits and veggies or dairy items. Foods like rice, cereal, etc. you can purchase as whole grains instead.

I hope you enjoy getting started on your road to eating just a bit better. Please feel free to share your thoughts!
