]]> I just found a pretty cool new thrifty site, and it’s all green! The site, Ecobunga!, features two ways to save on green minded products:

Save green – features coupons and sales on green goods.

Win green – just like it sounds, features green giveaways and contests.

This comprehensive directory also shows current green rebates, free shipping offers, and bulk discounts. Thankfully they also have a green criteria for listings which rocks because it saves you from lame greenwashing companies. They site consulted resources like Green America, Natural Resources Defense Council and Consumer Reports’ Greener Choices, to come up with a good working definition of “green”. Learn more about how products are chosen at the FAQ page.

You can search by recent sales or giveaways or search by category. You can also snag their email letter or subscribe to Ecobunga! by rss to get all the latest in your feed.

Visit Ecobunga! today and start saving some green on actual green products.

]]> In my previous post, five reasons why I don’t use coupons, I noted that one of my issues with coupons was their non-green factor. It’s a lot of paper waste, especially since not all of us recycle as well as we should. Well, I recently got the heads up about a new application that eliminates paper coupons (to a point) and still saves you money.

What’s this application?

Coupon Sherpa is an application you can add to your iPhone or iPod Touch. It allows you access to hundreds of in-store coupons for tons of merchants.

Coupon Sherpa allows access to two types of coupons…

“Exclusive Coupons – This application features coupons from many retailers that are exclusive to Coupon Sherpa users. Show these coupons to at checkout to receive the discount.

Find a coupon you would like to use by searching for the store name or category, then show it on your iPhone at check out, or email it to yourself to print out later.”

See a video of how Coupon Sherpa works.
