Cut Down Organic Costs

Here's a little advice for cutting down on organic costs from a Kansas newspaper:

"It's easy to cut down on grocery costs when buying organic foods. Besides starting a herb and vegetable garden (I have one in big pots), drastically omit nearly all red meat, which is probably your highest financial food outlay. Red meat and especially most lunch meats are also your largest contributors of saturated fats (butter, cream, whole milk and cheese are the others). When you do have meat, use it lightly, only once or twice a week, and make it lean in all meals. Also, mix it up. Use half organic and half the usual. It's cheaper and you won't get as many chemicals you don't want. Don't skimp on health. It's the best money you spend."
