Grocery Shopping~Organic Style

Well here are the costs of my organic grocery shopping. The first picture is my trip to Publix. This was all that I bought there. It is cheaper to get the Greenwise Whole Milk for Cooper than it is to buy 2 1/2 gallons of other brands. M only drinks chocolate milk and Publix carries the Organic Valley Low Fat version. They were 2/$7, plus I had a 1 dollar off coupon and was able to get some milk for myself and Marlee to eat in our cereal and pancakes. The Amy's brand of frozen products are pretty good, and the pizza was on sale 2/$10. The celery and carrots were also on sale at a $1.99 each.
I spent $27.17 and saved $4.47. I know not a lot of savings, but it puts me well of my way.


Here are my organic purchases from Kroger's. The Private Selection Organic Eggs were cheaper than Eggland's Best at $3.69. The Kettle "Natural" Chips were 2/$6. I had a 50 cent coupon for the yogurt, so I paid $3.49 for it. The whole wheat pasta was on sale for $2 a box, plus I had an online $1 off coupon, so I bought 2 boxes. We like to eat pasta. The sauce was also on sale for $1 off @ $4.49. One of the blogs I read talks alot about rolled oats and steel cut oats being better than instant oatmeal. We eat oatmeal for breakfast at least once a week, so I bought a bag of rolled oats. I chose them over the steel cut oats because there was more for a lower price.

Side note, although Arnold Mill bread isn't organic, the 100% Whole Wheat bread is BOGO this week at Kroger. We eat sandwiches everyday, so that is a bargain for me!

So how did I fare in the pocketbook? Well, I spent $33.94 on these organic groceries and saved $5.25.


It's hard for me to take the kids to the local farmer's market during the day, so I plan on making my first trip there this Saturday. I hope to score lots of good fruits and veggies because I looked at the squash, cucumbers, apples, grapes, and blueberries at the grocery stores and about fell out on the floor. ONE organic squash was $1.97! YEAH RIGHT!!!!
