You’re entirely wrong that 1) you can just wash the pesticides off produce, and 2) that organic isn’t more nutritious. There are studies that have definitely shown certain organic foods to have more nutrition, not to mention you can taste a difference.

You’re kidding yourself if you think the pesticides don’t do any harm. Your article is pretty anti-organic, which is really unnecessary.

I agree that the payback may or may not result in a “payback” eventually. But everyone of these 15 suggestions mean buying some device or food that costs more than the one to be replaced. This supports the economy, more than an impulse to be frugal and within income.

You missed one of the biggest tips of all: Rice. Can save so much money on groceries if you cook a few days’ supply of rice in one go – even good quality organic rice!

Unfortunately there is no agreement about whether organic foods are more or less nutritious than non-organically grown foods. Below is a link to a Mayo Clinic article saying there is no conclusive evidence that organic foods are more nutritious. it’s hard to know who to believe, as people on both sides of this debate have agendas that can play into their views. If I could lab-test these vegetables myself, I would!

I have decided to buy organic vegetables when I can afford it so that I can avoid the pesticides and growth chemicals. For higher nutrition levels, I buy locally grown, fresh-picked produce at farmer’s markets when I can, as fresh produce is more nutritious than the older stuff in the grocery store.

Jack, organic foods are NOT more nutritious. They are simply free of the pesticides and growth-promoting chemicals used by non-organic growers. It is important to not overstate the benefits of organic foods, as untrue claims become fodder for people who are anti-organic. I prefer organic foods and grow my own fruits, herbs and vegetables using organic methods, but I am under no illusion that my carrots have more nutrition than the non-organic ones at the local farmer’s market.

Like the idea of going to your local markets to buy fruits and vegetables. Good from the point of view of buying fresh produce and also helps you save money.
