I've visited several other sites that claim to be purchasing healthy and organic products for less . . . and then I look at what they are buying and have to question . . . . so here is the real deal:
We purchase around 75% of our food and household products as either Organic, Local or Earth-Friendly. Much of this we accomplish by:
- Having a garden
- Purchasing local foods from our Farmer's Market
- Purchasing meat from a local farm (grass-fed)
- Watching for discounts on these items and using coupons.
2 boxes Annie Organic cereals
Sale $2.99 less $1/1 coupon
1 box Barbara's Organic cereal
Sale $2.49 less $1/1 coupon
4 Horizon Organic Mozzarella Cheese
Reduced $1 each
9 Horizon Organic Milk Boxes
Sale $1 each less $1/3 coupon
Kroger Total: $15.47
The second picture is from items purchased at Babies R Us & Whole Foods (Horizon Milk Boxes only) during their New Year's Sale:
Earth's Best diapers
$5 each
$2/1 Store Coupon - Earth's Best Diapers
$1.50/1 Earth's Best Coupon
(These would have been $1.50 each after coupons if I would have printed the manuf. coupon before they were gone!)
