My husband has found some good deals on tp, papertowels, diapers and laundry det. He has to check it every time to make sure it's still a good buy. Has anyone found any good deals on foods?

Oh geez, Jennifer...

I use Amazon for a great many groceries now. My older kids joke about it all the time.

You can subscribe to many deal blogs to find out about them. "Saving Naturally" is one I use.

I get Kashi Go Lean Crunch by the case (one of the few cereals I buy anymore), Skippy Natural peanut butter (good deal last month), organic black beans, gluten free mixes, etc. All these are subscribe and save deals. I've ordered a case of tuna before, too, and natural lollipops, baked apple chips, cliff Kid zbars...

JoAnna.......what a GREAT site! I looked at it very quick and I LOVE it! Too bad we don't live closer, we could split cases from Amazon.    I will sit down tonight and take a serious look at Saving Naturally and Amazon. BTW...I'm preparing for a baby, and Go Lean Crunch is on my cerial list!

I should get back on this for some things. We were getting tea for quite some time (Herbal Medicinals) but we had a lull in tea-drinking, so we're using up what we have before turning the subscription back on -- the nice thing about the subscribe and save is that you select how often; and even then, you can say "no" when it comes time --- and you still get the savings.

We used to get Seventh Generation laundry and spray cleaner - until the removed it :( That was great while it lasted! Now we make our own laundry soap and spray cleaners entirely so even if they started it again, I won't subscribe.

I personally just have to be careful - only get what we would typically consume in a given time-period, so that we aren't inadvertently spending more just for the convenience

That's how I feel about cutting coupons. I can never find ones that are for what we eat.    That's why I like the site JoAnna sent. I can actually use some of them!

I don't mean to hijack the post...but how do you "make" your own cleaners...that really cleans?

I'd love to be able to make something that disinfects, cleans, and is organic.

Maggie,

Here is link to blog where I list out recipes for quite a few of the homemade cleaners we use around here.

I try to keep things very, very simple.

So I just have the following:

1) basic soap recipe (using sunflower oil at this time, but I could use any oils)
-----modified for a moisturizing soap (use olive and almond oils instead)
-----modified for dish soap (coconut oil; use vinegar in the rinsing)
-----laundry soap: start with basic soap, grate it, add corresponding amounts of borax and washing soda - could use it that way, but I add water, boil, re-harden, and grate to make a more uniform laundry soap.

Then my spray cleaner is a combination of water, vinegar, baking soda, washing soda, borax and a drop of dish-soap (or a bit of grated dish-soap). I use this to clean EVERYTHING - counters, floors, toilets, etc. (I'll use extra vinegar in a separate spray bottle for further disinfectant).

If you're really wanting a stronger disinfectant, a drop or two of tea tree oil with the spray cleaner works great. I typically add no oils, but citrus works great too.

I'm all-natural for toothpaste and deodorant too (there's a post here about that already). Saves loads of money, all-natural, never run out (it's all food-based) and it's nothing fancy, whether you want powder or cream versions.
