Can Frugal and Organic go hand in hand?

by kellys on January 21st, 2006

My sister-in-law always impresses me.  She and my brother can, it seems, whip up incredible tasting and very healthy meals with what sounds like little effort.  They’re always coming home with tales of wonderful meals concocted from organic produce and lean meats.  Guess that’s one of the reasons why they are so healthy.  But even she will admit that organic foods cost slightly more.  I also have noticed this at the grocery store which is why I don’t buy organic foods.  However, I came across an enlightening article about a couple who own a bed-n-breakfast.  Turns out, they moved from Chicago to the country and cut their income by half.  So they had to get creative with their recipes but ddn’t want to cut out the organic flavor.  After 10 years of honing in her skills, Lisa Kivirist has developed 12 frugal tips for keeping organic foods in your diet without having to cheapen your meals.  I might have to try it.

Thanks, Kristan!  Keep stretchin’ me.
