Being Eco Friendly Can Be Affordable When You Know How To Shop and Save

If you've done any shopping at all you know that natural, organic or green seems to mean the same as more expensive. Don't give up your green ambitions. It is possible to find some discounts, sales and coupons that help to bring those high prices more in line with our budgets.

Below you will find links to the best places to look for coupons, free shippping offers, discounts or sales on eco friendly, fair trade or cruelty free items. Plus links to an often over looked way to be green - resale shops and consignment sales.

Shop and Save

Cathy's Organic Super Store is a relatively new site that hopes to make shopping for organic and eco friendly items affordable. They are working on offering natural products from skincare to clothing to the home, pet and even food and wine. Some categories don't have any thing in them yet and some have smaller selections but this is a growing site so I'm expecting improvements. Their everyday prices are lower than on most sites and if you choose to join, pay a fee and become an Organic Insider you will benefit from savings of 26% to 70% off manufacturers list price. Check out this site to shop and save.
