For those in the Seattle, Portland, Eugene, East San Fran Bay or Minneapolis/St. Paul metro areas, you’d serve yourself well to pick up a Chinook Book. What’s a Chinook Book?
It’s a coupon book akin to the Entertainment type of books but with a focus on local and organic items. It’s also packed with helpful tips and suggestions for energy savings, farmers’ market locations and more.
The Seattle version is 242 pages huge with content topics such as
-Live
-Play
-Go
-Maps
And after that it’s the coupons. There are WAY more than I can post in this blog, so let me hit some of the highlights. By the way, the book is $20 and can be purchased at most natural food stores or online at ecometro.com.
- PCC – $10 off $50 purchase
- Whole Foods – $5 off %25 purchase
- QFC – Both above
- Madison Market – Both Above
- Pioneer Organics – $15 off first purchase
- Lots of pet food coupons for $5-$25 off
- $1 off Green and Blacks chocolate and ice cream (I didn’t even know they HAD ice cream!)
- Lots of coffee and tea coupons
- Cafe Ladro – Buy one get one free
- Organics to Go – $25 off $100 purchase

And on and on and on. This really is a useful book you can recoup the purchase cost in no time. Plus it is full of ideas and local retailers you may be interested in. And it has some cute DIY coupons and some off the wall, like “Present this coupon and receive a free dance partner” redeemable to anyone you like.
