The only organic vegetables I eat are the ones I grow in my garden. I'd like to eat more organic food, but it is so, so so expensive. I like Laural's tips for how to eat organic for less.

She writes about farmer's markets:

If you need to go during regular hours, you can also seek out vendors that are organic in practice, but just can’t afford the very expensive process of becoming organic certified. I was amazed at how many vendors practiced organic farming but couldn’t display the logo. Prices here tend to be a bit lower as the farmer doesn’t have to pass down certification costs to the buyer.

Here is a great article that outlines the nutritional advantages and benefits of organically grown food: http://www.ota.com/organic/benefits/nutrition.html... But besides that, I also buy organic because I like to support organic farming practices. I highly recommend watching Food, Inc. to see why.

Easy-you don't eat organic! There is no nutritional difference.

Grow your own produce and some grocery stores have a very reasonable Grocery Store Label Organic section. For example, Harris Teeter and Farm Fresh offer their own line of Organic canned, dry and frozen.

We grow most of our own produce, but the 'dirty dozen' and 'clean fifteen' are really important tools in eating organic on a budget--they help you focus on the most important areas rather than buying blindly.
