Berries are on the “dirty dozen” list of produce that you should always buy organic.  Check out my earlier post about organic produce.

How To: Decide What to Buy Organic

OK, so you can’t budget an all organic diet.  Most of us can’t!  But you can start to incorporate some organic – every little bit counts.  This is especially important for children (because they eat more produce per pound of body weight than adults) or if you are pregnant/nursing.  

Below are the foods that you should spend the extra money on to get organic.   Many mainstream supermarkets have a great selection of organic produce and you can always visit your local Farmers’ Market, too.  I think you will find that organic produce tastes better – sweet potatoes are sweeter!  Buy organic fruit frozen – it is cheaper and perfect for smoothies!  One of my favorite treats is to mix frozen cherries with plain/vanilla organic yogurt – the yogurt freezes around the cherries and its kind of like a healthy version of  Cherry Garcia!  Top it with a little granola for some crunch…YUM!

How To: Get Coupons

It seems basic, right?  Well, I learned that my local paper had lame inserts and on some weeks, my coupons wouldn’t even be in the paper!  Argh!  So, I started ordering the entire insert from this site, Whole Coupon Inserts.  They get the inserts on Thursday or Friday (not sure how) and if you order by Friday night you usually get them by Monday.  They list a preview of all the coupons in each insert so you can decide how many of each insert you want.  This week, the Proctor and Gamble insert comes out, so I ordered (3) P&G inserts and (2) SmartSource (no RedPlum this week.)

Also, today is the 1st of the month (insert Bone Thugs-n-Harmony song) so be sure to check the sites I have listed over to the right, and print any coupons you may need before they are gone.  Coupons.com and Target will typically let you print a coupon TWICE, so “get it while the getting’s good!”  The other sites usually only let you print once.

One more thing…you can usually get brand specific coupons from the company’s website or Facebook page, so be sure to “like” them on Facebook and visit their site.  These are the brand sites I visit every couple of weeks to get some coupons for organics:

Riverfront Farmers’ Market Preview Day

BUY LOCAL AND SUPPORT YOUR COMMUNITY!

Head downtown to the Wilmington Riverfront Farmers’ Market this weekend. 

April 2nd will be a preview day and the official market opening day will be April 16th.

Why Buy Local?

  • Local food is fresher and tastes better.  Food travels an average of 1300 miles before it reaches the supermarket.
  • Buying local keeps your dollars circulating in your community.
  • You’ll support endangered family farms.  Only 18 cents of every dollar, when buying food at the supermarket goes to the grower – 82 cents goes to various middlemen.  Cut out the middleman and put the  money directly in the pocket of your local growers.
  • You’ll safeguard your family by knowing where your food comes from – meet the farmer and ask how it is grown or raised.
  • It’s good for the environment – local food doesn’t travel far, reducing carbon dioxide emissions and packing materials.
  • When you buy local food, you vote with your food dollar.
