In case you haven’t checked out Heavenly Homemakers Healthy Discounts Page…I’d really like to encourage you to click on over! There are some great deals posted (and I plan to add more this week)! Eating a healthy diet REALLY is possible for you and the Healthy Discounts Page is here to make your healthy food purchases more affordable. Check out what Serina just wrote on her blog:
I just scored a great deal on US-grown organic almonds. If you have the freezer space and room in your budget to do this, you’ll save a bundle, too. I ordered 25 lbs. of organic almonds from Braga Organic Farms. The cost was $140, plus $10 shipping. Using the coupon code (“home”) for 10% off (found at the Heavenly Homemaker’s Healthy Discounts page), I paid $126 for the 25 lbs. Add the shipping back in and divide by 25, and I only paid $5.44/lb.! If you’ve ever bought (or thought about buying but were scared off by the price) organic almonds before, you know this is a fantastic deal. This is roughly the same as I currently pay for conventional almonds. (Read more of what Serina has to say…)
Almonds, pistachios…and most forms of nuts are a little on the pricey side even if they aren’t organic. But nuts are SO good for you and make a great snack. Buying organic nuts instead of conventionally grown nuts is pretty important in my opinion. I love that Braga Organic Farms has such great prices…and they’ve even provided a Heavenly Homemaker Discount!!

I wanted to thank you for these cute downloadables. I love them. Thanks
I signed up and didn’t get the $15 :-( I thought maybe it would take a few hours to process, but I still haven’t gotten an email with a code. Very sad!
Oh, that’s weird. I got mine right away (if I remember right – because it was like a whole four days ago). Can you log into your account and see if they automatically put it into your account?
Laura, I’ve been a lurker on your blog for over a year! Just wanted to let you know that I’ve already used two of your recipes this week (taco potatoes and shepherd’s pie) and we plan to use the third (the three cheese pasta) tomorrow – our kiddos (and my husband) are definitely enjoying the new recipes. Thank you for posting them!
