ReplyDeleteI try to buy the top 10 dirty list as organic...especially apples and banana's, carrots. I try to go every 2 weeks to the farmers market and pick up a few veggies and strawberries there that are organic but I don't go overboard, it's way too expensive to buy everything with a family of 6 budgeting. I'm trying though.
ReplyDeleteginger_rose@hotmail.com

ReplyDeletei dont but i really want to this is an awsome giveaway
ReplyDeleteI buy all organic all the time for my son (15 months)...and for my fiancé & myself when finances allow for a bit of wiggle room. More often than not, our grocery cart (typically at Whole Foods!) is full of organics: we ensure that all of our meat, eggs, fruits/veggies and dairy products are organic...beyond that, it's whatever we can budget for. Although some things come with some level of "sticker shock" when shopping, we've accepted that health and wellness are far more inexpensive to maintain than a chronic illness is to treat down the road. ;)
ReplyDeleteI try to especially for the items on the dirty dozen. Other than that, I'm ok with regular produce!

ReplyDeletekellywcu8888ATgmailDOTcom
I buy some organic, buy our budget cannot sustain it. I concentrate on dirty dozen and most likely to be GMO foods. This means sometimes we just don't eat these foods if not on sale or in season. We try to eat as much organic meat as possible- wild game and what we can buy on sale.
ReplyDeleteWe buy some things organic, but either our store doesn't have very many or they are too expensive, so we don't get them as often as I would like to.
ReplyDeleteI try to but I often struggle because the prices are higher.
ReplyDeleteI try to buy am many organic products as I can.

ReplyDeleteNot usually, because I don't think the benefit outweighs the price.
ReplyDeleteI do sometimes, when I have the extra money to spend on it. I especially prefer organic meats.
ReplyDeleteWe buy mostly organic during the Winter months. During the Summer months I grow my own huge organic garden, so I don't have to purchase veggies during that time frame which is a HUGE help with the budget! Meat is all local, grass fed, and while we do pay more for the food we consume, I am hoping my children don't hear verdicts like Congestive Heart Failure and High Blood Pressure, or Cancer like so m any do!
ReplyDeleteI sometimes buy organic fruits like grapes and apples, esp those where you eat the skin.

ReplyDeleteI buy organic food whenever I can, depending on availability. My family went all-organic (or all-natural, depending on the products and availability) about 10 years ago.

I've been sold on good nutrition and organic eating ever since then!
