Here is a great little article I read on Care2.com - a nice checklist of things to consider when trying to buy the healthiest food on a budget: http://www.care2.com/greenliving/organic-on-a-shoestring-budget.html
What tips can my readers share?
I can think of a few to add:
1. Buy in bulk - buying spices in bulk cuts WAY down on their cost (a new bottle or organic Oregano goes for $4+, while buying the same amount in bulk cost me about $1 from an otherwise expensive health food store)
2. Steal! Just kidding...
3. Check out the list of foods at www.ewg.org - they have tested individual fruits and vegetables and offer a handy shopping list to help you prioritize. Organic raisins? ABSOLUTELY. Organic bananas? Not as important.
Happy eating! Alex
