Coupons

I was listening to the radio this morning and I heard a commercial for a show that deals with saving money on groceries by clipping coupons. Now I'm all for saving money but here is my issue with coupons: they don't offer coupons for the foods I buy!!! Once the farmer's markets open I generally do most of my shopping there but during the winter when the market's are closed I do hit up the grocery store but I don't buy a lot of packaged food. Coupons are generally only offered for packaged food so I'm out of luck. Sure sometimes there is a price cut on fruits and veggies but for the most part coupons are of no use to me.

As a country we are trying to eat healthier and most people recognize that a diet consisting mainly of processed and packaged foods is not that healthy so why aren't the stores offering store coupons on healthy food to make it more attractive to people? Maybe some stores are but not the ones around me.

Coupons are great and saving money is great but I really wonder if all coupons are doing is leading people to eating less healthy food because it is less expensive or maybe I just don't have my pulse on what coupons are out there. If anyone does know of stores that offer incentives though to buy fresh healthy food I would be interested in knowing.
