You may be trying to eat organic, as much as possible, but are finding it hard to stay within budget. Organic foods definitely are pricey but if you are a bargain shopper, you can make it affordable.
Here are my favorite ways to shop organic yet stick within your budget criteria!
1. Go Generic. Most grocery stores carry a line of USDA certified organic foods under their own private label, so look for it the next time you’re in your favorite grocery store.
2. Buy the Whole Bird. Instead of buying your meat separately, buy a whole organic chicken. You can either take it home to clean and cut it or better yet, ask the butcher to cut it up for you; in some stores. This can save you quite a bit of money than pre packaged thighs or breasts!
3. Quality over quantity. Rather than eating 6 oz of non organic protein, why not eat 3 oz but ensure it is organic grass fed? Go for quality over quantity.
4. Browse Big Retail Stores. You would be surprised to find big retail stores such as Walmart, Costco and Target selling organic products for nearly 1/2 the price. Yes, Walmart does have organic products!
5. Shop Frozen. The freezer case hosts some of the best deals in the supermarket when it comes to organic so stock up on your favorite frozen organic fruits and vegetables!
6. Buy in Bulk. If your favorite grocery store has them, bulk bins are one of the best places to save money. Stock up on the organic versions of your bulk staples such as brown rice, beans, oatmeal, quinoa, nuts, etc.
7. Legumes! Organic fresh or canned beans are a great way to get in your protein and save on cash! Load up on beans as an affordable way to go Organic!
8. Say no to Processed foods. Just because it’s organic doesn’t mean it is Gina Approved and “healthy”. A Organic chocolate cookie is on the same page as a non organic chocolate cookie so don’t think that big “O” is a stamp of approval. Be smart about your choices and save your money on anything processed.
