The Benefits:
- Seeing the resource light. Sustainable products are often pricier than conventional (organic farming and responsible business cost more), so shaving a few dollars off the bill makes it easier to buy them.
- Converting wasted time. These aren't your mama's coupons - no scissors required, and since they're online, you can search for exactly what you want.
- Making an offering to your local collection plate. Green city guides are full of deals for services and retailers right in your own 'hood - using 'em supports the local economy.
Wanna Try:
- Organiccoupons.com - searchable database of online coupons for organic/sustainable products in dozens of categories; think school supplies, mattresses, and clothes.
- Amazon Subscribe & Save - shoppers who sign up for regular delivery of routine items get 15% off and free shipping; many eco household brands like Method cleaning products and Earth's Best baby foods are available in bulk.
- GoodShop.com - online "mall" with hundreds of coupons for big-name vendors that donate a percentage of each purchase to your fave eco-cause; highlights green merchants.
- Local Green Guides - our roundup of eco coupon books with deals for stuff like toys, clothes, and baby products; many other cities are following suit so look around if your hometown isn't listed here.
- DIY Bite - search for coupons at your fave brands online, like Mrs. Meyer's, Seventh Generation, Earthbound Farm, and Kashi.
