Are you buying your organic produce at the grocery store?

I came across an article on bankrate.com about "Buying Organic on the Cheap". Unlike many articles which list the health benefits of organic foods (but never seem enough to convince), this article lists 17 tips on how is can be possible while spending less.

It may not be all one stop shopping, but I guarantee you it will be more fun, health promoting, delicious and could save you time. Throughout the next few posts I will explore home gardens, urban gardeners, organic farms, organic food delivery companies, buying clubs, community supported agriculture projects, bartering, wild foraging, hunting and fishing. (and more)
