Looking To Eat Organic On A Budget? These 4 Tips Will Make It Easy

Organic is not only about what you eat, but also a way of life. I love eating organic food because it tastes better, but it’s also safer and more nutritious, which is part of my ongoing effort to eat (and live) healthier. Just because I want to eat organic doesn’t mean I’ve always been able to afford to buy organic on my budget.  thrive market

Organic foods can be 47% higher in price on average, compared with other “standard” items on the shelf or in the produce section. Of course, it always depends on the product that I’m buying. So, I’ve learned some tricks that have helped me to understand the nature of organic foods on the shelf, while helping me to feel better about the foods I eat every day. So, here goes. 

What’s in Season? 

I love to track the foods that are in season anyway. Fruits and vegetables just taste better when they are fresh, but it’s also easier to find them in abundance, and they don’t have to travel as far, which often brings down the cost. A visit to the Farmer’s Market is the best of all scenarios because I often get to meet and get answers from the people who are bringing the food to me. 

Check the Label 

I first learned the basics of reading a label when I was in health class all those years ago, but it’s still a relevant skill for understanding the organic ingredients in a product. Just because it’s organic doesn’t mean I should buy it. I also need to look at the level of sugar, sodium, fat, etc. I’ve always wanted to believe that the organic label also magically makes the product healthier. It’s just best to verify.  thrive market

Use Coupons and Find Great Deals on Organic Foods 

Just because it’s tagged as organic doesn’t mean there aren’t ways to get great deals when you buy those products. I know that searching out coupons takes time, and not all organic products even offer coupons. But, it’s worth the effort when I look at how much it affects my budget. Here are just a few sources for coupons on organic goods.  

– All Natural Savings 

– Kroger’s Simple Truth 

– Simply Organic 

– Sprouts Coupons 

If you’re an Amazon Prime member, you can also access great deals from Whole Foods online. If there’s an organic brand you absolutely love, you should also check out their website for coupons and special offers. Even if you can’t find any discounts right now, reach out to the brand. Let them know how much you love their products and ask about coupons or other special offers that might be available.  thrive market

Subscribe and Save on Organic  

Over the last year, I’ve focused on finding ways to save money on buying organic and one of the best ways to do that is via subscription offers like Thrive Market and Imperfect Foods. It’s all based on the items that are overstocked, but it all works out for me. I particularly love the tagline on Thrive Market’s website: “Healthy living made easy.” That’s what we all need!
