[QUOTE="allhaileris, post: 181227, member: 5663"] Do you shop at Trader Joes? Most of their products are very comparable price as the supermarket for better food. Whole Foods has some store brand items some people like that are very good prices (for the most part it'll always be Whole Paycheck, but they're getitng better). Look up a CSA in your area. We just started using one of these and are quite happy with it. I forget what it stands for, but basically it's local farmers who will deliver to either you or a local place for you to pick up once a week. The one we use is $16/week and for the amount we get it's cheaper than getting non-organic produce on sale. There are lots of variations of prices and what you get, so shop around when you choose one. Check out the frozen section. I find many frozen staples (peas, green beans, corn, etc) come in organic at a price just barely over non-organic. And just because you live in an apt doesn't mean you can't grow in containers. We live in an apt and are growing tomatos, green peppers, basil, rosemary, strawberries, blackberries and lettuce - all in containers. We do have a large deck, but you could do a few items. The lettuce seems to grow really well in a small container. Sandy [/QUOTE]
