By wakeup-world.com - Lorraine Ereira
Most of us know that choosing organic, non-GMO, natural food is the only way to insure good health, from the inside out. However it’s not always easy to buy healthy organic food, especially if you are on a tight budget or have a large family to feed.
So how can we live a healthier life and provide the best food for ourselves and our loved ones, without breaking the bank?
Here are 10 top tips to help you get your kitchen in order.
10 Tips for Going Organic on a Budget
1. Write meal plans for the week and shop accordingly
This way you know exactly what you need to buy, and won’t waste money buying food that will end up in the bin. Also you will be less likely to impulse buy, and consequently won’t be tempted by “treats”, that are no good for you or your wallet.
2. Make friends with your local butcher
This is a golden tip that is invaluable. Most butcher’s meat is from good local sources, and is at the very least non-GMO, and is also usually grass-fed, and sometimes organic too. In the butchers you can buy exactly what you need, instead of having to buy packs of food, that are the wrong size for your family, so although it might cost a little extra, you know you are buying just what you need for that meal. Also your butcher will always have good quality bones for just a few pence or sometimes even free that make great bone broths – an excellent way to cheaply nourish a large family! With a few good veggies and a handful of pearl barely, you can have a delicious, hearty soup on a cold day!
