Good Morning sweet friends!
*Disclaimer: I was not compensated for this post. I had an awesome experience with Whole Foods & their coupons yesterday, I just wanted to share the information for those of you who say that Whole Foods is expensive, but want to still support a great company*
Yesterday, I kind of fell in love with coupons… more specifically, Whole Foods coupons. I had a plan to do some grocery shopping on my lunch break yesterday. I had picked up the Whole Foods coupon brochure about a week ago and saw a lot of great coupons. Each of the coupons were things I would eat and enjoy. When I arrived to Whole Foods, I had a plan in mind… find what I need, pull that coupon out when I retrieve it and keep moving. Don’t spend too long searching for something and don’t get something if they don’t have the flavor or type I want so I don’t waste money. An example: I had a coupon for granola & soup, but I couldn’t find a flavor I thought I’d enjoy, so I didn’t buy it.
When I started spotting some of my items… it quickly became clear that almost everything I had a coupon for was already on sale. Love Instantly!
Receipt Breakdown: (The price is what I actually paid after the coupon)
Whole Foods Cereal – $2.99 ($1 off coupon)
Vegetable Broth – $1.49 ($2 off coupon)
Runa Drink – $.99 ($1 coupon)
Tofu Spinach Ravioli Frozen Meal – $3.99 ($1 coupon)
Blue Corn Tortilla Chips – $2.00 ($1 coupon)
Luna Bars – $.99 each ($1 coupon for 2)
Mojo Bar – $.99 ($.50 coupon)
I bought 2-3 more items that I did not have a coupon for, but overall I saved $8.50 in coupons and was extremely pleased with the items I brought home.
I know everyone’s argument is that Whole Foods is not the cheapest place to shop, but I love what Whole Foods stands for and that they support the community they work in, I’m willing to pay extra for that. They also support local farms & businesses. When you combine their sales & their coupons, I’d say it’s definitely worth your time & money to shop at Whole Foods and I either got my items for the same price or cheaper today with this simple strategy (Seriously, Cliff & Luna bars for .50 each)! That doesn’t mean that I do all of my grocery shopping at Whole Foods, but I do what I can so I can support a company that I believe in and love.
I left Whole Foods with a huge smile on my face and the cashier commended me on my coupon usage!
- Do you shop at Whole Foods?
- Do you use their coupon books and pair them with great sales?
