Healthy eating often comes with a hefty price tag. Even the most expert of coupon clippers grouse about how difficult it is to find bargains on fresh fruits and vegetables.
That is especially frustrating when you are trying to eat a more healthful diet. However, it is possible to save on delicious, nutritious produce — if you know where to look.
Following are six secret places to find coupons for fresh produce.
1. SavingStar
This free service gives you cash back for items you buy at major grocery store chains. You can even use it for online grocery purchases.

Now that’s a healthy choice for your body and your bank account.

According to the company, members can save as much as $50 a year.

Target sells practically everything, including fresh fruit and vegetables. And the popular superstore occasionally even offers produce coupons that can help you hit the bull’s-eye when it comes to better physical and financial health.
For example,Target recently offered coupons for $1.50 off when you buy $7 worth of produce, and $5 off $25 worth of perishable foods.
