Choosing Organic
The following tips for eating organic foods without breaking the bank are simple, though they require effort. If you want it, then make it happen!
- Grow a garden. This can be a full outdoor garden, or simply herbs in your kitchen.
- Reduce your portions of meat. Eating organic meat is important, but it’s expensive. Add beans, mushrooms, or veggies to use less meat.
- Cook from scratch! You know what’s in the food your making for your family, even it’s more work.
- Cook in bulk and have to-go meals in the freezer for busy days.
- Keep a well-stocked kitchen so you always have what you need.
- Invest in quality kitchen tools. Cooking is easier if you have the right tools. Remember, good quality tools sometimes cost more, but they last longer.
- Prioritize organic foods. While it would be great to only buy organic, that’s sometimes impossible.
