I try and get some stuff at whole foods. It's not too expensive there-all things considered.

Google JediJohnnie and May the Force be with you!

I buy organic fruits and vegetables from my regular grocery store. I've found it doesn't cost that much more than the non organic.

I go to Sprouts or Fry's.  Fry's is doing a real bang-up job of providing a lot of organic foods.  I'm really very pleased with them.

I prefer to buy organic when given a choice & the price isn't dollars more.
I bought some green organic bananas a couple weeks ago for guests, & they turned totally brown in a couple days, but opening them, they were nice and fresh and very tasty.   Perfect for banana splits, but I used them in my yougurt :)

I don't actually shop at whole foods stores simply because I can't afford it. However I do occasionally buy organic bread at Walmart, it is still expensive but it is only one product. I just love bread and the difference in quality between cheap bread and organic bread is just not comparable. Dave's bread has about 20 odd grains and seeds galore that I feel it is worth paying the extra price for.

No, I don't but if I had access to a Whole Foods I would probably check it out.

I used to,  then got so busy with work that I stopped.  I didn't realize how bad things with food has gotten until recently, so I just started again buying some organic. 

Organic potatoes here is over $4 a little bag, but because of the high pesticides in them....they were a must. 

They had organic salad greens cheaper than non-organic.  Some of the organic fruit, carrots & celery was reasonably priced.

I had a $60 budget (buying 2 weeks worth of groceries) and spent $50...I had thought I went over or would have used the other ten dollars there.

When I got home, I was surprised at how healthy everything looked.  REAL food, no overly processed fast foods.

My favorite discovery was the Ezekiel sprouted bread with flax seed.

I can't afford to do 100% organic diet...but do plan to get organic on things used alot that I know would otherwise be GMO.  They don't have organic meat here I don't think but I do mostly vegetarian diet anyway.

The change has made a big difference in my energy level.  I had fallen into the trap of eating fast & cheap.  Now I just take my money and scope out the organic sale items first, the HAS to be organic items second and then use whatever money is left to get items to go with them.

I try to MAKE everything instead of paying extra for convenience:  things like pancake mix, cake mix, salad dressings, seasoning mixes,  bread/muffin mixes, french fries, etc.   can all easily be made at home for a fraction of what it costs to buy it usually.  That way dollars go farther when buying organic food.

There aren't any organic shops in my area. The nearest one is Trader Joe's. One day I'll go there and check em out. I heard they were cheaper than Whole Foods.

Yea sometimes I bug organic foods like apples or oranges, they do not taste at all different, but then  I think why not just pick up regular grown food. Why to buy organic food???
