Lady Aberlin's Muumuu

With all the allergies in our failmy, I spend far too much time cruising the isles of Whole Foods (or sending dh with a list). It's grown on me may have to make one of those hemp moomoos. I bet it would still fit after I gorge myself on a hot dog and Rhodes 60 second cinnamon roll or a few. *ahem*anyway, to save money, go more for the local than the organic. I mean, seriously, if it had to come from a bazillion miles away, didn't that kinda defeat the purpose of buying organic in the first place?So, find a few farms or people who have land. Just drive around the countryside and you'll see dozens of signs advertising eggs, chickens, veggies, fruits, whathaveyou. I sometimes take the kids out to do U-pick in the summer. We brought home 120# of fresh, ripe peaches for $70. Yup, we had a canning/freezing/drying party with some friends from the ward.The garden is a great way to save $$. Even putting some plants in old containers works great. I shoved 2 tomato plants in an orange Homer bucket from Home Despot and they were happy as clams.And Michal is right passing on the processed food with automatically save you money. As Michael Pollan pointed out in his new book, chips with a health claim are still junk food.
