Eating More Organic Without Busting The
BudgetSo you’re convinced
of the benefits of eating organic, but the price tag has got you down.
The good news is that with a little creativity and perhaps a change in
routine, it is possible to eat a mostly organic diet within the confines
of your existing grocery budget. Try some of these ideas that have
worked for my family.
Farmer’s Markets
Search your newspaper or online for farmer’s markets in your area. Many
times these small farmers utilize organic practices, but you can always
ask if in doubt. You can also find “you pick” farms locally if you
search. These often have great prices since you have to do the work!
Going berry picking is fun as well as educational. Bring the kids and
make a day of it.
Buy In Bulk
Larger health grocery stores often have a nice variety of bulk items.
Some have bulk bins that allow you to bring your own containers for your
grains, soap, maple syrup, and many other products. These can offer huge
savings, especially on certain items like spices and herbs. While it may
seem odd to buy a 15 pound bag of organic brown rice, if you eat it
frequently and have a little space in your freezer, bulk is a smart
idea. Bring a calculator and see how much the cost is per serving. You
might be pleasantly surprised. Large wholesale chains are also now
offering some organic choices.Read rest of article | | | | | | |  | |  |
