For the last couple years, my husband and I have changed our family's diet dramatically from processed foods to quick and easy homemade recipes that utilize fresh ingredients, so it was natural for us to want the healthiest ingredients we could get with the least amount of chemicals, preservatives, and artificial ingredients. Organic food would obviously meet this need, but many people think that organic is out of reach when one is on a tight budget, as I originally thought as well. But I was determined to incorporate at least some organic food into our diet, and as I kept my eyes open for good deals on organic products, I found that many can be purchased for the same price, and sometimes even cheaper than their conventional counterparts! The following places have been incredible resources for providing a substantial organic contribution to our diet.
