[quote=Anonymous]Also, the thing about buying organic produce in an affordable way is to look for what's on sale or lower priced because it's in season and there's a ton of it. Ditto with meat, you need to shift to eating what's there versus shopping for what you want or making a plan ahead of time and trying to fill the ingredients. Set a rough goal (three types of veggies, two types of meat, grains) and a budget for a trip to the store and then get what you get and figure out how to put it together when you get home. Don't be afraid of repeats (roasted broccoli several days) and definitely freeze what you can. Buy a huge head of broccoli, cut it up, blanch and freeze a few quart bags, and eat it a couple of nights during the week. Do this for whichever vegetables are the most affordable each week (squash can be roasted, pureed and frozen, etc.).[/quote]
