Safeway Organics Brand Baby Food

While Jonny was at his first day in his preschool program (sniff, sniff) ,I went to Safeway to grab some milk and saw that Safeway's new brand of baby food is out. They have the same selection as Earths Best or Gerber with some new flavors too. Not a whole lot of Stage 3 choices ( meats and "dinners") yet, but Elliot wont be eating those for a few months anyway. They are normally 79 cents a jar ( Earths Best was 89 cents and Gerber was 55 cents to give you an idea) but are on sale right now for 10 for 6 dollars making them about the same price as non-organic Gerber, which is what I have been buying so far... ( Gerber is 55 cents for 3.5 oz and Safeway is 60 cents for 4 oz.) They also have all the little snacks ( puffs, biter biscuits and those little fruit pieces) that the other companies make, but organic. They are also in glass with no film over the jar, so better packaging too ( See Jennifer's baby food post :) So anyway, I stocked up and wanted to let you all know while the sale was still on in case you wanted to stock up too.

Earth Day sale on Amazon.com

They have a bunch of eco-friendly items for sale on Amazon.com for Earth Day. There is a deal on Seventh Generation products that if you spend $99 you get $20 off. Diapers and wipes are included so if you are planning on buying these soon you should check it out!

Sales, Good Deals and Cool Products - Pass it on!

I had two ideas today that I thought we could all do if we want...

When we are out and about shopping, if we notice a good deal or sale on something that another may be interested in, we should post it! I figure over time, this will help us all learn where to get products for the best deal. With this lifestyle change comes new buying habits and stores to go to, and finding the best deal is hard with kids in tow. I am sure we would also love to save a few bucks for things like cleaning products, baby food, diapers or anything!

I have a few I saw recently:

I saw on Amazon, you can order 4 packs of Seventh Generation diapers for $42 (saves around $10 I think than buying at Whole Foods). Depending on size, it's around 150 diapers. (That's only $3 more than Huggies packs at Costco!)

I noticed at Costco, they were selling huge jugs of Ecos Laundry Detergent. I didn't see the price, but usually Costco is a decent deal.

Whole Foods had some Seventh Generation cleaning products on sale recently if anyone is looking.

Anyway, does this sound like a good idea?

Another idea I had was to post about products you may have come across. Jennifer, you have done this with the cheese, makeup, face lotion and stuff. And I really like hearing about other products before I buy.

Here's my find today: while shopping at the Farmer's Market today, I noticed a stand with Ecco Caffe, a local coffee company. So I checked out their website and their roasting facilities are in Sonoma County. They have organic coffee, fair trade coffee, water processed decaf coffee (I thought of you Jennifer) and more probably. I am probably going to try it out when my Starbucks beans run out :) Here's the website: www.eccocaffe.com

If we label these posts "good deal" and "cool product" or something like that, we can easily look at all posts written on them.

What do you all think?
