Comments on: What To Do If You Can’t Afford To Buy Organic? http://planningwithkids.com/2010/03/23/what-to-do-if-you-cant-afford-to-buy-organic/ 2 parents, 5 kids, organised chaos Wed, 23 May 2012 10:21:30 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v= By: Tracyhttp://planningwithkids.com/2010/03/23/what-to-do-if-you-cant-afford-to-buy-organic/comment-page-1/#comment-39202 Tracy Sun, 28 Mar 2010 21:58:25 +0000 http://planningwithkids.com/?p=6470#comment-39202 I am a big believer in buying food in its most natural state. While I love the idea of organic food, my budget is less able to cope. Between the budget and the appetites of growing children, organic is just not an option. It's nice to see that a lot of the foods we really enjoy are on your list! Cauliflower and onions are almost staples and we eat our fair share of kiwi fruit. I'm really loving that I can get a bag of little shepherd avocados from Aldi for about $3.50 at the moment. There's enough avocados to do a whole week of school lunches. You can't imagine how excited the kids are about that! I am a big believer in buying food in its most natural state. While I love the idea of organic food, my budget is less able to cope.

We do enjoy the Aldi range of pasta, pasta sauce, tinned tomatoes and tomato paste, they are very reasonably priced. We plan to grow a lot of produce organically at home. There is one catch, of course - everything I grow has a nasty habit of dying. But I will try, regardless We don’t buy a lot of organic produce unless it’s something like cheaper organic apples at Coles or something, but that’s not all the time.

They don't yet delivery to my area, but the will perhaps deliver to yours, if you are interested in getting your fruit and veg delivered. They have a couple of packs that they do and they seem very reasonable priced.
