Whole Foods $5/$25 Coupon

I went to Whole Foods dot com to check out the calendar, and imagine my surprise to find a printable $5 coupon! Yee-haw.

I had a $20 budget to buy flowers for our open house tomorrow so I was pretty excited to find that I would be able to throw together a quick deal. Here's what happened:

I bought some beautiful hydrangeas and gerber daisies totaling $19.XX. Then I took a stroll through the aisles, looking for sales and coupons on products. I ended up in the juice aisle where Knudsen juices had $1/2 hang tags on them. I've been wanting to try their Mega Green juice, and the 32 oz. was 2.99; I picked up two of them. My total was just over $25. I used the 5/25, then the $1/2 which brought my total to $19.XX (so the juice was free. Yay!)

If you have Whole Foods shopping to do, print a coupon, grab your Mambo Sprouts Whole Deal flyer and get thyself to Whole Foods STAT. The Q expires on the 22nd.

Whole Foods Run & Produce Delivery

Made my Whole Foods trip today. I just wanted to get my total to $15 so I could get a free bottle of lotion (I had a coupon from the Grand Opening coupon books I wrote about 2 weeks ago). However, the milk I usually try to buy for the kids to drink has gone up in price so I ended up paying a little more than expected. We made up for it in the fruit and cheese we sampled while perusing the store.

Purchased the following:
(2) Pecan Encrusted Whitefish Fillets
(2) Half-gallons of milk
(4) Jars of Earth's Best Organic Baby Food (on sale- big jars are $1, smaller jars are .75 or .80; you can find $1/10 coupons on the back of select Earth's Best rice or oatmeal baby cereals)
(1) 365 Body Lotion- FREE

Total: 18.22

Tuesday is also organic produce delivery day. Today's shipment:

(3) bananas
2 lbs. sweet potatoes
(3) valencia oranges
(4) red peppers
1 head boston red leaf lettuce
(5) paula red apples
(3) roma tomatoes
(3) bartlett pears

Total: 23.00

Whole Foods Coupon Alert!

Whole Foods had coupon books at the front of the store today. I'm assuming they are available at all/most WF stores since they were chock full of manufacturer's coupons for brands like Organic Valley, Back To Nature, Traditional Medicinals, Nasoya, Biokleen, R.W. Knudsen, Kashi and lots more! Get 'em while you can.

New Whole Foods in Ann Arbor!

The kids and I went to the new Whole Foods on Eisenhower (across from Briarwood Mall) this morning and WOW did we hit the jackpot! Going in the door we were given a free reusable shopping bag, and the doors then parted to usher us into Free Sample Land. The kids and I grazed on fresh fruits, veggies, cheese, bread, chips and juice and I got some free samples of hand lotions (paraben-free and totally delicious smelling).

I scoured a few aisles for coupons and there were quite a few to be found on frozen foods, baby bath products and in the juice aisle. I'm sure there were more but Ocean kept trying to break into his "potty treats" (yogurt covered raisins from the bulk bins) and we had to get out of there quickly.

As I was checking out I noticed a stack of coupon books by the register. The cashier threw a couple of them in my bag and there are some pretty good $/$$ coupons as well as coupons for free "when you buy" products (like a free pound of potato salad when you spend $25... stuff like that). I would consider them really good coupons if you shop at WF anyway... if not you may not find much use for them.

If you're in the Ann Arbor area in the next day or so head over that way. It's a nicely laid-out store and it's worth the trip for the free shopping bag and delicious samples (plus parking is a lot better than the store on Washtenaw... *shudder*).
