"Our former test kitchen intern and recent graduate of the Institute of Culinary Education, Sarah Pyle, is a champion at saving money at the grocery store. Here&amp;#039;s a bit of her expertise on the topic of coupons: With the overwhelming interest of &amp;quot;Extreme Couponing,&amp;quot; it seems everyone is interested in taking steps to save money. There is a bit of a misnomer, though, that coupons are only available for processed foods. Yes, it is very common to find abundant deals on pasta and cereal. But is it possible to use coupons for healthy foods? It is, and I&amp;#039;m going to show you how. I&amp;#039;ve hunted down 5 healthy foods I bet you didn&amp;#039;t know you could get for free. 1. Frozen Vegetables: Recently, coupons for frozen vegetables have been popping up in newspapers and online. Birds Eye offers printable coupons directly from their website. Store loyalty programs have even begun offering digital coupons that can be matched with manufacturers&amp;#039; coupons to result in mega savings. UPromise is one of my favorites because your savings can be allocated toward a college fund. 2. Canned Beans and Soups: For months now, I have seen coupons for Goya Low-Sodium beans particularly online at Coupons.com and Smart Source. Pair the coupon with a sale at your favorite store to score these high-protein legumes for a steal. Canned soups such as Healthy Choice and Progresso offer light and lower-sodium varieties that can be matched with store promotions called &amp;quot;catalinas.&amp;quot; These are coupons for future savings that you earn by purchasing a certain amount of a product. To learn more about catalinas, refer to your favorite coupon blog or visit Coupon Network. 3. Fresh Produce: I know. You can&amp;#039;t believe it, but yes, I have seen coupons for products such as tomatoes and oranges in the Sunday paper. Driscoll&amp;#039;s offers coupons on their website for berries. Fresh Express recently partnered with Vocalpoint to offer free coupons to members. On a side note, be sure to register with Vocalpoint and Kraft First Taste. In exchange for your feedback, you&amp;#039;ll receive coupons for free products. If all else fails, though, contact the company directly. I&amp;#039;ve done this because I&amp;#039;ve never seen coupons for bananas, and we eat about 4 lbs. a week in my house. The companies are delighted to hear from customers, and more than happy to send coupons (sometimes even for free product). 4. Nuts: In addition to the trusted Sunday inserts, Facebook has become one of my favorite places to look for coupons and free products. Recently, Wonderful Pistachios offered coupons for free products to its first 75k fans. Whole Foods also offers printable coupons on their website for organic items, such as nuts, that would otherwise be rather expensive. Subscribing to a coupon/money saving blog in your area will help inform you of special opportunities such as this. Living Rich With Coupons and In Good Cents are two of my favorite blogs to follow. 5. Milk Products: With the recent increase in allergies, more and more people are turning to soy and coconut milk products. Companies have noticed, and are helping offset the additional expense with high-value coupons. Silk, for example, has consistently had coupons available on their website for as high as $2 off. Be sure to know your store&amp;#039;s coupon policy. Some stores will double the value of a coupon up to $1.00. Others may fully double the face value, meaning that a $.75 off coupon will actually be worth $1.50 off. Pair your (hopefully) doubled coupon with a store sale for maximum savings. Your wallet will thank you. What&amp;#039;s your best tip for saving on good-for-you foods? "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
