I envy anyone can shop only once or twice a month! It does help me to eat the same things each week (spaghetti on Mondays, tacos on Tuesdays, etc...) so that we can use up things that have been opened. Finally, I agree eating less meat definitely helps keep the cost down. Hooray for beans! Great posts! I envy anyone can shop only once or twice a month!

I do marketing for an organic food produce company very much like a CSA in Califonia. When there are things I don't care for which isn't very often, I use that to make vegitable stock. I freeze it and then use it to make my beans or to roast meat or veggies. I even use it to make rice. It gives everything a great flavor and adds vitamins also. When I am done with the veggies, I give the left overs to my chickens which is a great way to take care of them too. This helps to use everything in my weekly box. If there is anything else left I put that in my compost pile. Everything gets used each week. I feel that I am saving on average about 50% this way. This was a great article.

My mother and I both have been making great strides even if it is simply because they have chosen to just give in! I really think they may even be starting to enjoy and believe in the importance of a healthy diet. We have really cut back on meat consumption for many reasons. I have found a great meat filler-Quinoa. It is a complete protein for one but it also is easily disguised when mixed with ground turkey, etc. for meatballs and loafs.

I had a question. I am doing a competition with TCEA for websites, everybody makes their own website and our theme was Green. So my website is about green organics (food). I would like to use your pictures(the 'shopping list' ones), can I? I have to ask permission for everything I use. Could you mail me back? Thank you! Marleen Great post!

It does pay off, but of course it is impossible to measure this, so people think organic is expensive. But considering what you are getting, I think it's cheap compared to chemically-saturated non-organic stuff! All natural foods are worth paying more for.

I shared it on Facebook. I FINALLY got my husband on board this year, I think, with eating less meat, more organic, and it has made my life so much less stressful, because I don't feel like I am fighting him anymore on the food we eat! We use a CSA and freeze to save money. I also received a food dehydrator for Christmas and am anxious to give it a try. Great post! I shared it on Facebook.
