Q: "I've been following your column for a while now, and I see that it can save me some money. But, I find that the products I want to eat -- healthy, organic, fruits, vegetables -- very rarely have coupons, or have any such great deals. From reading your columns, it appears that you can save lots of money and even get free items, but you end up getting stuff that, maybe, you wouldn't buy normally. How do you translate the savings into the foods you want?"

Q: "The main thing that used to frustrate me about coupon-cutting is that the coupons seemed to be geared toward processed foods. After reading your column for a few weeks, I noticed quite a few things in the coupon inserts that I would buy, even eggs and bacon, so I was thinking of trying again. I guess I am wondering if it would be worth it to me. I do have to buy cleaning supplies, paper supplies, cereal and products in the health aisle. Do you think it's worth the effort? You just don't see a lot of organic produce or products from smaller health-food companies represented in the couponing world."
