6 Secret Places to Find Coupons for Fresh Fruits and Veggies

Healthy eating often comes with a hefty price tag. Even the most expert coupon clippers grouse about how difficult it is to find bargains on fresh fruits and vegetables.

That is especially frustrating when you have resolved to eat a more healthful diet. However, it is possible to save on delicious, nutritious produce — if you know where to look.

Following are six little-known places to find coupons for fresh produce. And they’re all free.

1. SavingStar

SavingStar is essentially a paperless rebate program. It enables you to earn cash back on items you buy at many retail chains, primary grocery stores but also warehouse clubs.

Depending on the chain, you redeem SavingStar offers using a store loyalty card or via SavingStar’s app or website. Once you rack up $5 in savings, you can cash it out by transferring it to a bank account or PayPal account or converting it to a gift card.

SavingStar offers include a “Healthy Offer of the Week,” which is for certain fruits and vegetables.

Now that’s healthy choice for your body and your bank account.

2. Ibotta

Ibotta is a rebate app. It enables you to earn cash back on items you buy at various types of retailers, including grocery stores and warehouse clubs. Those offers include cash back on fresh fruits and veggies.

We told you about Ibotta most recently in “This App Just Made It Easier to Track Your Cash Rebates.”

Once you rack up $20 in cash back by using Ibotta, you can cash it out by transferring it to a PayPal or Venmo account or converting it to a gift card. (Reaching the $20 mark is easier than you might think, as Ibotta is currently offering a $10 welcome bonus for registering for an account.)
