I love sites like Groupon, LivingSocial and SavvySource, but deals from health-conscious companies are pretty sporadic.  (Something my husband probably appreciates.)  Zulily isn’t dedicated to organic, green choices, but I will say they generally have at least a few offers each week that fall into that category.  Unfortunately, they tend to be geared toward the needs of babies and toddlers and my kids are getting a little old for that.  So I was really excited this week when I discovered two sites totally dedicated to deals and discounts on organic, green, healthy and earth-friendly products and companies. 

Check these out! 

Blissmo- Their mission is to promote sustainable consumption for a happier and healthier people and planet.  A short video on their site asks, “What if you could do more with the power of everyday spending?  How about changing the world and getting a good deal?”  I love that!  It makes me feel good about my choices and using my spending to vote sustainable.  This week they had deals on organic skincare, earth-friendly undies and an eco-adventure for two in Costa Rica.  I just bought the sample gift set from Holly Beth, a luxury, natural skin-care line that’s been featured in InStyle, Natural Health, People, Southern Living and more.  I can’t wait to try it! Like them on Facebook, follow them on Twitter and start saving! 

GreenBoxTop.com – This deal site focuses entirely on green bargains and gives a percent of sales to designated non-profits that change each quarter.  They don’t offer as many deals each week as some of the bigger sites, but they are alwaysgreen and health-conscious.  In the recent past they’ve offered deep discounts on healthy cooking classes, organic clothing lines, detox programs and eco-conscious web hosting services.  This growing site is definitely worth checking out. 

This last site isn’t completely dedicated to health and earth-friendly companies, but I think they’re worth a mention.

Mom.com- Although they aren’t 100% eco-friendly, I’ve found the majority of their deals are things I would feel good about buying for my family.  This week’s deals include green home products, eco-conscious skincare products, gourmet chocolate bars, books and family magazines.  If you need light bulbs, low-flow shower heads, cleaning supplies, composting kits or any other household item today’s deal from LetsGoGreen.biz  is for you!

How do you save on healthy, green, organic items?

Now back to this post.  I don’t know about you, but every time I open a book or magazine lately I’m reading about the benefits of coconut water.  I bought some at Whole Foods last week, but kind of forgot I had it so I haven’t been drinking it.  I did taste it and it was pretty good.  Not too coconuty like I thought it might be.  Today, I saw that Kroger had a 10/$10 deal on O.N.E coconut water.  This sounds like the perfect opportunity to give it a try and see if it holds up to the claims. 

Here’s what they’re (I don’t know who they are, but let’s assume they’re someone credible for now) saying about coconut water:

• Natural isotonic beverage
• Healthier than whole milk with no cholesterol
• Packed with natural sugars, salts and vitamins making it a natural energy drink that combats fatigue
• It’s said that regular consumption can naturally improve immunity, increase metabolism, and detoxify the body.
• Regular consumption is also said to help regulate digestion and intestinal function.
• Identical to human blood plasma (I’ve read it’s been used for blood transfusions in war)

Do you drink coconut water?  Are you planning to try it?  I’d love to hear what you think and how it’s working for you.  Don’t forget to take advantage of the Kroger deal if you’ve been thinking about giving coconut water a try.  I’m headed there tomorrow to pick up my 10.  I’m going to get my sis to try it with me this week.  (So excited to have her visiting from California for the conference!!! )
