Do you buy organic when it comes to food?

I would guess for family of 3, between £100-150

It varies by week, but monthly 600ish depending on if we have to buy proteins or pantry stuff. We do the farmers market a lot.

Nope. We spend around $750 a week on groceries

In my area there is alot of farms ,& we are carful on what’s in our food as well and read every ingredient. So we usually get all our products from the natural isle , we also don’t drink cows milk so our bill is close for $400 every 2 weeks. And might spend $100 or less inbetween those weeks to stock up on fresh veggies and fruits.

We try. We spend $150/week or so for 3 people. 2 adults 1 kid. We are trying to be more cognizant of what we eat though and how much chemicals are in our food and cleaning agents etc.

Family of 4 here in the north east (UK), I try really hard to budget and shop between Aldi and Morrisons for certain items but also have 2 toddlers that think strawberries are free 🥲 Organic food doesn’t bother me and I’ve never noticed a change in taste when eating it so I think the 30/40p price difference (basing this on Aldi fresh produce) isn’t worth it. I’d rather buy the cheaper, spend an extra 5 mins prepping it and spend the expenditure on a luxury item! Our average weekly shop incl. household goods and luxuries is around £130-150.

i buy probably 75% organic. usually $150 a week

cant afford that 😂

my mom would buy organic for us when i was growing up. it was like $250-300 a week give or take for 2 people

Yes organic is more expensive but cheaper than chronic disease later

We are a family of five with three boys and we live in the Seattle area, we spend $1200 a month on groceries we shop mostly organic and grass fed organic meats, we also eat Whole Foods 80% of the time. For an example we get our eggs local $8 a dozen and we go through 3-4 dozen a week.

I’m in the US but I spend about $70 on fruits and veggies from a local farmers market! All organic and fresh!

We spend ~$200 a week in groceries for three people and about 80% of our groceries are organic. When our CSA is in season, we spend MUCH less

As of recently yes. Ever since learning that veggies absorb the pesticides used. It’s a lot less expensive to buy the huge container of blueberries and they actually last a long time in the fridge. I wash and dry them and put them in a different container though so that might play a part. They still outlast strawberries. We only eat a container of strawberries every other week. We spent about $14 a week on organic fruit. That’s for a bunch of bananas and either blueberries or strawberries. I like buying organic avocados once a week too.

Family of 8, I spend about 800$+ a week on groceries.

@Danielle store strawberries in glass jars and they’ll last weeks in the fridge

We buy mostly organic for my daughter & some items for us. We easily spend $1,000 a month on food. It’s absolutely insane to eat “good” food.

We buy organic as well but what drives our grocery bills up is the pasture raised eggs and grass fed, grass finished beef. We spend on average $350-$400 a week. - 2 adults, 1 toddler and an infant

We’re a Family of 4 and spend around £120 a week. We buy most fruits and veggies organic and higher welfare meat when we can.

Family of 4, my twins eat 90% organic, my and hubby around 30% 😂 spend weekly around £150

So many comments with different price range, I guess it all depends on where we all are in the world. The living cost right now is insane everywhere but it’s even worst in the US. I agree to eat “good” is absolutely insane, making it impossible for some to afford organic 😭 family of 3 here, 2 adults and 1 child. We follow the “clean 15” and the “dirty dozen” list so not every produce we buy is organic except those on the dirty dozen list then it has to be organic. We shop between Marks and Spencer’s and Waitrose for higher welfare fish/meat. I have 20 eggs delivered every Friday from a local farm on a subscription for £10/week. We always try and keep a budget of £100 a week but we always spend an average of £130-150 per week. When we were living in California we would spend an average of $250 a week at Bel Air just a regular supermarket nothing special and the fruits/veg produce wasn’t the best. Can’t imagine what our grocery bill would look like if we were to shop at Whole Foods

US girlies where are we doing our grocery shopping? I’ve never done a full shop at Whole Foods or Nugget except from picking up very specific items but I’ve always had a presumption that it was expensive to other supermarkets like Raley’s, Bel Air, Walmart etc is this the case do we know?

We are strictly organic , we often go to farm shops but mainly tescos nothing fancy! Monday to friday for family of 5 will cost us around £200-£250 x

Only during the summer and only directly from the farmer. In the way to work there are always roadside stands with food for sale from the fields. Organic from the store or farmers market is always at an increased price

@Amy they don’t call it whole paycheck for nothing 😂

yes its way more expensive @Amy trader joe’s is good and affordable but they don’t have as big a selection. whole foods is massive

@Amy i shop at a local regional grocery store. we also have a CSA at a local farm and get a TON of seasonal produce for a fraction of the retail price. buying organic frozen produce can make sense for certain things too and be cost savings. if you use the EWG app, you can see what foods you’ll definitely want organic and which ones there not as much pesticides residue. strawberries for instance we only eat organic but avocados we buy conventional if theyre cheaper than organic
