Save Money on Organic Foods

More Americans are eating organic and minimally processed foods. A study from Whole Foods in 2004 found that more than half of Americans had tried organic foods, and over 10% eat them regularly. If you can count yourself among that group of eaters, you’ve doubtlessly noticed that these foods command premium prices and are traditionally found at places such as Whole Foods and other specialty markets. Since you’re probably looking to save money on food, that probably causes a bit of conflict in the ole’ melon (if not talking about the cantaloupe you’re holding, either).
Well, you can relax a bit. Recently, due to organic and minimally processed foods increased popularity, many more grocery stores have begun to stock these items. You can even get organic foods and items such as free range chicken and no cage eggs (from chickens not fed hormones or antibiotics) at warehouse stores like Costco and warehouse grocery stores such as Boise based Winco Foods.
So, just because you want to live a healthy lifestyle, and shy away from foods that contain antibiotics, hormones, chemicals, and were raised in cages full of crap, there’s no reason you should have to pay excessive prices for them. Instead of paying huge prices for premium, organic foodstuffs at specialty food markets, trot on over to your local warehouse grocer, Costso, or even check the selection at your local Safeway or Albertson’s. Chances are you can find much of what you’re looking for there, keep eating healthier, and save some money while you’re doing it.
It’s easier to get debt free if you save money any place you can, and stay out of your doctor’s office. Eating better foods, and paying less to eat them, is a big step in the right direction.
