Whoa! If you don't have alot of cash, it doesnt mean that you can't dress like you're affluent this winter. JC Penney has a mens wool coat on clearance for $29.99 (reduced from $200). Use code ENJOY10 ($10 off coupon) to get it for merely $19.99 plus shipping (which is $4.95 if I recall correctly). Currently they have quite a few sizes in stock, but once this hits the blogosphere, it may go fast. This would also make a great gift. Thanks to Mama Cheaps for posting!

$5 off $25 at CVS
If you still need to get your flu shot and don't want to sit in the waiting room at the doctor's office, consider CVS. Before you show up, go online to the CVS site and get your $5 off any $25 purchase coupon (thanks to Sisterly Savings for mentioning). Once you've received your shot, you'll also get a coupon book with $100 worth of coupons. According to Carrie over at Pocket Your Dollars, the coupon book contains a $1 coupon off Kleenex. Kleenex is 96c this week, so we know that you'll at least walk out with a free box of Kleenex too (hey, you might need it if you're taking the kids!)
Also, if you're unemployed, remember that you can get your flu shot for free. More details on that in my previous post.

Afford Organic By Buying Locally or Growing Your Own
Lately I've been frequenting my local farmer's market early on Saturday morning. The above is a picture of the bounty from one of my local trips. First apples of the season, the sweetest corn I've ever tasted and some great organic heirloom and chocolate tomatoes. No one can deny that buying organic produce is certainly more expensive than purchasing it's traditional counterpart, but frequenting a farmers market is one way to get what you need for less. For families that truly must stretch their dollars, farmers markets give an opportunity to buy some traditional produce at less than they would pay at a supermarket, which gives them a few extra dollars to spend on adding a percentage of organic items to their basket.
Where you do you buy your fruits and veges from? Do you have tips on purchasing produce on a budget or growing your own produce?
