I've actually gotten a ton of organic greens before at a salvage grocery place that were fairly fresh. It's a hit or miss kind of thing. Someone suggested too that at the end of the day at a farmer's market sometimes they'll sell stuff cheap. I was given some free seeds and am growing arugula and herbs in containers. I sprout too in jars. I make my own plant milks sometimes for pennies. I get bulk seeds, beans and grains at Azure Standard because they have a truck that drops in New Orleans. The delivery cost is cheap compared to shipping. I can get the stuff for drastically lower than my grocery and it's often organic though not all the time. They don't seem to have a mandatory spending so if I want to just get one or two things I can. I don't do all organic because of cost but also I don't think for many foods it's worth it...the pesticides are much lower.

Don't know if that's helpful. Just wanted you to know I'm trying to eat low cost as well. I fail sometimes but then I get back to it.

Thanks for the tips, I shop mostly at Walmart and 99 cent store, because other grocery stores around me are almost twice as much.

Hi Toad,

If you haven't seen this, here is a presentation by Jeff Novick about calorie density, which is really the key to weight loss.

I watch this periodically; I must have seen it dozens of times!

Be well,
