A friend of mine recently asked me, “So, where can I get free food?” Of course, this was just too good of a challenge for me to just let go.
The fact is that there are lots of ways to get free or deeply discounted food. I will start with deep discounts and work my way down to free.
- Grocery store clearance. Fresh & Easy grocery stores discount food on the day of expiration. They discount up to 75% off and place them in a clearance section of the store. More ways to save on groceries.
- Vendors at Farmer’s Markets offer deeply discounted fresh fruits and veggies in the last 15-30 minutes of the market.

Some say daily deal sites push consumers to make impulse buys on discounts they want, but don’t need. If you have buyer’s remorse, here are four sites where you can sell your unused or unwanted daily deals.
CoupRecoup – Bargain Babe wrote about this daily deal resell site a year ago. It works more like Craigslist as buyers contact each other and negotiate payment methods. To sell,
I’m super excited to introduce My Coupon Database to BargainBabe.com. Basically, it’s a place where you can find all your grocery and drugstore coupons! No need to visit Coupons.com, then SmartSource.com, then…My Coupon Database pulls from dozens of coupon sources and is the most complete database of coupons that I know of.
Here’s how to use this FREE coupon database:
1. Scroll your mouse over the Coupons tab above. The first option on the drop down menu is Coupon Database – click on it.
2. That will take you to the page below. Browse the grocery and drugstore coupons.
3. If a coupon is underlined, click on it to print. If not, My Coupon Database will tell you which insert to pull from your stash to find your desired coupon.
Voila! It’s that easy.
Tip: Narrow down your search by typing in the Description box, or by choosing a specific Coupon Source. Insert = coupons that come in the Sunday paper. Cellfire ecoupons = mobile coupons you can print out. Magazine Coupons = various coupons that you can find in mags like Glamour, All You, and many more. You can also narrow down a coupon search by the date the coupon was released, the value of the coupon, or how long ago a coupon expired.
Bonus: The Getting Started, Organization, and Store Coupons buttons take you to posts on BargainBabe.com that explain these topics!
I pay a monthly fee to have My Coupon Database on BargainBabe.com and receive a small fee when you print a coupon. Thank you for helping me make blogging my full time job!
UPDATE: Reader Renee says My Coupon Database has been a huge help. She writes:
