Shoveling money into food always seems to ridiculous, knowing that it's just food that gets eaten then vanishes.

The best advice that I can give you is to use coupons for the general grocery items you need and that will hopefully leave you enough money left over for the organic items on your list.

You also have to compare how manufacturers are adjusting sizes of products and what you get for your money. There are many tricks manufacturers are using and you should be very aware of the new tricks. Loggon onto a site like this one is an excellent way to share information. Thank you.

I have several tips/education at my site on how to save at the grocery. But, I'm not an organic devotee - I really wish we had access to a farm stand of some sort because I would just love to support the local farmers too. Since eating organic is important to you, I wanted to share the list I compiled of organic/natural foods/product companies who offer coupons. I know organic products are more expensive and there is a benefit in that for you so if you are going to purchase them, maybe this list of sites/companies will help save a few bucks! I hope it does. You can find the list at: <a href="http://tinyurl.com/7kjmby" target="_blank">http://tinyurl.com/7kjmby</a> And, just so you know many everyday grocery items have gone up by around 30% too. So, add that annoying cost in there and it just makes it, well, annoying to shop! Good luck with health and your grocery budget this year!! HI Ginger,

Walmart carries some organic products. Their organic milk in my city is $3.65 a gallon. I also scan the grocery store sales flyers of other supermarkets every Tuesday and try to get in on the specials. Produce is very expensive. I could barely afford to eat Cherries this past summer since they were up to $4.99 a pound. I use to get my meat and produce from an organic grocer out here call Talley's, but unfortunately they went out of business. It is expensive to eat healthy but you are talking about your body and you should not cut corners when it comes to your health. I believe I can reduce my spending in other areas to make up for the increase in food prices. I shop at Walmart and Target. Walmart carries some organic products.

But it was predicted that with the economy in the state it's in certain costs would drop( gas) but food costs would rise. You're right on track with your ideas. People in my house are looking at me crazy as I type because I REFUSE to go running to the store simply because we're out of the usual snack and fast ( microwave ) foods we usually have stocked around here. I want to start healthier eating habits this year AND it will help with my grocery budget. Try this website and see if it helps you out. I thought it was GREAT! But it didn't really work out for me due to my location we only had one participating store. Though many ladies are saving tons of money here and they have a great forum as well.<a href="http://www.thegrocerygame.com/" target="_blank">http://www.thegrocerygame.com/</a> I can totally relate to your entire post!
