Organic

It is  more expensive! I had to increase my food budget.  It's worth it though.  I have been trying to buy organic whenever I can.  There is a really neat website called What's on my food .  There you can type in your favorite food and it will tell you what toxins can be found on it.  I typed in blueberries and found that there are 52 pesticide residues.  Some of these toxins include known carcinogens (cancer causing) and growth and reproductive toxins.  (seriously horrible for pregnant/nursing moms and children)

Top 10 to buy organic:  
1. Apples
2. Strawberries
3.  Celery
4. Peaches
5. Spinach
6. raisins/grapes
7.  bell peppers
8. potatoes
9. blueberries
10. Milk products

Ways to get organic milk and produce cheaper:

1.  Grow your own garden
2. Co-ops:  try bountifulbaskets.org or Utahbaskets.com.  There are a bunch.  I like to get an organic produce box from bountiful baskets for $35/week.
3.  Coupons- there are some coupons that you can get: check out earthbound farms, whole foods and stoneyfield farms websites.  There is a website called www.healthylifedeals.com that list all of the organic coupons that are online along with the Whole Foods matchups
4.   Farm shares :  go to http://www.localharvest.org/ to find a farm near you.  Sometimes you can buy a farm share for the summer for $300-$500 and get fresh local produce every week.
5. Local food stands or farmer's markets:  have a price point
