When I first started using coupons, I happily bought whatever foods & products I could get for the cheapest possible price. I saved a LOT of money on groceries, but our food choices were admittedly not always the best. Over the years I have tried to find a balance between saving money on groceries and healthy eating, and while I still use a lot of coupons, I also have also tried to find healthy alternatives.

About a year ago I discovered a wonderful website called Vitacost which sells a huge variety of natural, organic, vegetarian, & gluten free products at great discounts. They carry everything from food & vitamins to personal care items & household products, and their prices are awesome.

Even better, new customers can get a $10 credit when you sign up through this link only. Your credit can be used on absolutely ANYTHING. Shipping is a flat $4.99, which means you can score some pretty great deals on things you might need. Once you sign up, your credit will be emailed to you within about 10 minutes.
