You are on your way, and will be eating all organic before you know it. :) We avoid the dirty dozen too... we only buy grapes and strawberries if they are on sale since organic is so expensive. They are definitely a treat! It's hard to always buy what we know is right, but we all just have to do what we can and not beat ourselves up for what we don't do!Nicole @ Some Call It Naturalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08513480463022952112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-401987036322960945.post-13331833513957293182012-06-19T15:13:58.466-05:002012-06-19T15:13:58.466-05:00I go back and forth too - we don't keep any &q...I go back and forth too - we don't keep any "junk food" in the house, but the kids just love crackers! I always feel guilty about the crackers even though they don't have corn syrup or hydrogenated oils. I also wrote a post about how depressed I get that I can't buy strawberries or grapes most of the time because they are SO expensive!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11551272984388114722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-401987036322960945.post-9327696707058061302012-06-19T14:58:14.870-05:002012-06-19T14:58:14.870-05:00I can understand how you feel.

It sounds like eating organic meats are more important than produce, which can really be expensive. I find that eating within the dirty dozen when those foods are in season make a huge difference in my pocket book. It is a commitment, but maybe looking into co-ops for your organic produce can be a good option. I know it depends on locations, but with ours we get 40 lbs of produce for $50. It is a lot of produce and we just eat meals around those foods. We are a family of 6 and have to be creative with our budget. We do eat a lot less meat than most families, so it comes back to what foods are more important to you. Using Organic meats are so great and you are doing a wonderful thing for your family. I think steps are the way to go. Just replace a few things a month and before you know it an organic green home is all you know.
