Organic Coupons - Where to Get Them (Stage 2)

So here we are on the second stage of where to get coupons for organic and natural products. Yesterday I posted about where you can get coupons (many of which are printable), right now. If you want to know where you can get coupons right now, go to my post here. The list will be updated monthly. Today, I'm providing you with a list of companies that don't currently have printable coupons on their site, but they promise special offers if you sign up.

Organic Coupons – Where to Find Them - (Stage 1)


Many people hesitate to clip coupons from the Sunday paper, claiming that the coupons are generally for junk food. While I don’t completely agree with that statement (refer to my post “Questions from Readers…Aren’t You Sacrificing Healthy Eating for Junk Food When You Use Coupons?”), I do hope that more organic and natural foods coupons will be made available in the paper. That being said, just because they’re not in the paper, it doesn’t mean that you can’t get your hands on organic and natural coupons right now, as you sit at your computer. I regularly obtain organic coupons and combine the coupons with sales to get free or low cost organic and natural items (I always have a coupon for organic milk!).

So… where can you get coupons for organic and natural products? Well, look no further! I’ll be updating this post monthly so you no longer need to do the legwork. Just visit my blog to find out where to get them! Most of these brands can be found in the natural section of major supermarket chains.

Over the next three days, I’ll post about where to find organic and natural coupons. This will be broken in to three categories:

1) I want my organic coupons today! (coupons that you can get your hands on right now and/or companies with current promos)

2) Yeah, I can wait a bit… (sites that promise special offers if you sign up). This has been posted. Read here.

3) Maybe if I ask, they’ll send me some (sites that don’t have e-mail lists). This has been posted. Read here.


If there is an organic or natural foods company that you’d like to see more of, please leave a post. Also, as companies update their sites, you may find new coupons that I haven't mentioned or go to a site and notice that a coupon has disappeared. If this happens, please let me know. Also, if you find this useful, please leave a post so I can know that my hard work is not in vain (and thanks to Danny for sitting up at 2am creating the links on this! You're a rock star!)

So here’s the first category…

You can get 100 free photos by going to SeeHere.com and signing up for a new account. Use coupon code prints-2.

Free Subscription to Forbes

Another free magazine – Forbes, from Rewards Gold after you complete a simple survey. As I mentioned the other day, the site itself is a bit “spammy” looking, but I’ve filled out surveys like these before with Rewards Gold and have received free magazines. I’ve already received magazines such as Traditional Home, Parents and Working Woman from sites like these (as of today, Parents and Working Woman are still available). As always, with the magazine freebies I post, you never have to enter credit card information.

Free Subscription to Elle Magazine

This is a source I haven’t yet tried for free magazines, so if anyone has any feedback, I’d appreciate it. Mercury Magazines is offering a free subscription to Elle right now. The site caters to business owners. So I entered in my company information (for those of you that don’t already know it, I’m a Virtual Assistant) and then based on my business type, I was able to select three other magazines. I’m getting so many free magazines right now, I think I’m going to have to start turning down free subs!

Complimentary 2 Year Subscription to Working Mother Magazine

Another free magazine – Working Mother. Just go to Rewards Gold to answer a survey about handbags (it will take about 1-2 minutes). The site itself is a bit “spammy” looking, but I’ve filled out surveys like these before with Rewards Gold and the free magazines have indeed arrived in the mail. As always, you never have to enter credit card information.

Free Signature Item with Purchase from Bath and Body Works

Thanks to Money Saving Mom for mentioning that you can get a free Signature Collection item (up to a $12 value) with any purchase when you use this coupon. You can often purchase items for as little as a $1! Valid now through Jan 25th, 2009. Also, their semi-annual sale ends on Jan 25th. Maybe I'll mosey down there and pick something up, especially since I was working and didn't get around to picking up the free loot from the department store settlement that I posted about earlier this week.

Free Kids Meal at Fazoli’s with Adult Entree

Well, now you can get a free Kids Meal (pizza or spaghetti, breadstick and soda) at Fazoli’s with the purchase of an adult entrée with this coupon. Not quite as good as the last offer, but hey…

This is an interesting one. Not only will you get a full rebate for six entrees, but you can get money back!

Host a lunch for yourself and 5 friends before Jan. 31, serve Michael Angelo's single serve entrees and fill out the "Free Lunch" rebate form to get your money back. Thanks to Freebies4mom for mentioning this. Here’s how it’s done:

- Register on the Michael Angelo’s site. They’ll send you an email and you’ll have to confirm your registration. Taka a minute to go through the process and to print out some “buy one get one free coupons.”
- Go out of the site and go to the rebate page to print your rebate form.
- Buy 6 single-serve entrées at your local store.*
- Host your lunch by January 31, 2009.
- Mail in the rebate form by February 28, 2009.

*When you go through the registration process, you’ll be able to print unlimited buy one get one free coupons for single serve entrees. So if you purchase 6, you’ll only actually be paying for 3. Since the manufacturer’s coupons are taken off your total grocery bill, you’ll still get a full rebate on all 6 from the manufacturer.

Chick Fil A Promos

Bloggers love to write about Chick Fil A items. Before you head out to your local store for the Chick Fil A freebies that you've read about, call your local store to see if they're actually running the promo. that you've read about. Chick Fil A runs two types of promos: 1) National promos such as the Jan 1 promo that wrote about last week, or the annual day where you dress up as a cow to receive free food and 2)Local promotions where your store may be giving out free items as part of a weekly event, to support a cause, etc. On the Affluent Pauper site, I only post national Chick Fil A promos unless the freebie is covering several markets.

Free Spaghetti with Drink Purchase at Fazoli’s

Thanks to Bargain Briana for mentioning that Fazoli’s is giving out a free bowl of spaghetti with the purchase of a drink with this coupon. Just a heads up – the site has fairly loud music on it, so don’t print this out at work unless your speakers are off! The coupon expires on 1/19. OK, so I'm thinking I'll get together with another mom, take the kids to the Aquarium on a playdate, then we'll all head off to Fazoli's for a bowl of spaghetti. Now that's how to treat the kids to a special day out Affluent Pauper-style!

Georgia Aquarium Discount Extended!

Last month I wrote about the Me & Mommy ticket that includes Aquarium admission for one adult, free admission for children age 5 and under (maximum four children per paid adult) and free parking ($10 value). We were disappointed that we didn't get to go. But the deal has been extended so we still have time! The offer is valid Monday-Friday has been extended through March 31, 2009. Thanks to The Centsible Sawyer for the original mention and for Ashley on the update of the extension.

Free Covergirl Cosmetics Again at Publix?

Last month I posted about how I was able to get free Covergirl cosmetics at Publix with a coupon. Well, you may be able to get a similar deal this month. Pick up the green and yellow "Make a Healthy Start in 2009!" flyer (valid thru Jan 30, 09) and you'll find a coupon for $2 off any Covergirl product. When the product goes on sale, stack the coupon with a Covergirl manufacturer's coupon (I'm sure you'll find at least one in the paper this month) and you'll be on your way to free or seriously discounted cosmetics!
