7 Ways to Make Organic Food Affordable

  1. Grow your own herbs

    This is a simple way to introduce organic produce into your meals. Herbs can be a great addition to any dish and it will save you money in the long run to grow them yourself.

  2. Buy Organic Frozen Food

    Buying organic frozen food is much cheaper than fresh produce and it will last you longer. Frozen vegetables can be added to any meal to increase the nutritional value.

  3. Go to the Farmers Market

    At the farmers market, you can support local businesses and buy great affordable local produce. This is a great habit to introduce into your life because you may even find foods you cannot buy at the grocery store.

  4. Buy from Whole Sale Stores

    Stores such as Costco and Sam’s Club are great options to buy organic produce at a discounted price. These stores do require a membership, but the savings and variety will surely make up for the cost.

  5. Plan Around Sales

    If you plan around sales then you can introduce organic produce into your diet at a discount. This will also give you a variety of options to try because the sales usually change each week.

  6. Trader Joes

    Trader Joe’s is another great affordable option for organic food because you do not need a membership to buy from them and their prices do not change no matter where you live. They have amazing fruits and vegetables as well as frozen foods.

  7. Buy Smaller Quantities

    Buying in smaller quantities can also be a great tool to maximize your benefits from the products you buy. Organic food has a tendency to go bad faster because there are no preservatives or stabilizers on the fruits and vegetables. It is ok to go to the grocery store more often if you use everything you buy.
