It's a fact: Going green or choosing products that are ethically and sustainably produced usually means paying a little (ouch!) premium. Luckily, we've found a way to continue to lead a more conscious life without having to dig deeper into the wallet.
The Green Consciousness Rebate Guide ($20) actually helps us save money, and not the mail-in rebate kind of saving -- the real deal!
With over $3000 in savings, the fully bilingual savings book is more than just a collection of random rebates and special discounts from eco-friendly advertisers. The founders of the book wanted to put together a guide to help Montrealers make better choices to achieve a healthier lifestyle (bikram yoga anyone?).
As moms, we're loving the Children and Parenting section that includes 10-25% off natural parenting products and services at places such as Lili Café & Cie, Café Kajou, La Loba, BébéAuric, AzureWraps, La Grande Ourse and Maman Autrement. There is even a coupon for a free puppet show for parents and children.
We’ve finally found the pleasure of splurging, while discovering the sustainable face of Montreal -- without a huge dent in our pocketbook.
