FYI Saving with Earthbound Farm Produce at Meijer

This was brought up in another thread, but I thought I'd start a new topic so it doesn't get lost.

A member asked, "What's the best way to save on produce at Meijer?" I don't know if all Meijer stores carry Earthbound Farm Organic items. At my stores, most of the organic produce is Earthbound Farm: lettuce, spinach, carrots, baby carrots, green onions, celery - and maybe some other items I can't remember right now.

Earthbound Farm usually has several coupons floating around. Most seem to be $1/1, or .75/1, or $1/2. Using these can save a great deal on the produce you probably use most often and are at the top of the dirty dozen list: salad mix and carrots. Plus you can save on more!

Meijer often runs the organic salad mix on sale 2/$5. That is already a great sale price, but if you have the $1/1 coupon, you can buy a clamshell container of organic greens for $1.50. Everyday price on baby carrots is $1.99, and using the $1/1 coupon gets you a bag for $.99!

When shopping for organic produce, I prioritize based on two factors: the dirty dozen list, and the items that my family eats most often. If an item doesn't fall into those criteria, I opt for conventional produce unless the organic is cheaper or the price is equivalent.

So let me ask you, does your Meijer carry Earthbound Farm Organic produce? If not, do they carry any specific brands?
