Expense of Organic Food

[xanadu324]

Great point, sage, I didn't even think to weigh in the fact that it doesn't last as long because of the un-added things that "normal" food has.
I guess it's along the same lines of a bag of pre-made cookies costs almost $4 (depending on the brand) and you can buy about 3 cookie mixes for that same price.
All factors in, I suppose.

I think organic food is very expensive. But I guess you can't really put a price on your health though.

There has been a lot recently about buying free range chicken. I was buying 2 chicken breasts today and there was only a 50p difference between the free range and "normal". So i went free range. I am a lot more conscious of it these days and have even started to buy mayo made with free range eggs.

I just learned today that it is a good idea to check the frozen section for organic meat. Apparently it is much cheaper.

Meat in general is cheaper from the frozen section - but I wonder why, and it puts me off so I never buy it! Does anyone know why it is cheaper? Thanks!
