Default Re: Organic shopping

Also for bulk buying, check Amazon once in awhile. At first I thought MAN! That stuff is expensive, but then I did a little homework and realized that I can buy 8 boxes of organic cereal from Amazon and it may seem like a big chunk of money until I do the math and realize i'm really only paying $2.33 a box instead of when I find it at the store and it's $3.99 ($2.99 if I happen to have a $1 off coupon), so I'm making out. I found it works well for me for cereal, mac n cheese, crackers and cookies. I'm a single mom of a 3 year old, so I try to find deals everywhere. Plus, with these types of food that my daughter eats, I know it will get eaten, and I won't have to run to the store every week for more or search for a coupon every time too. Check the prices though. I know some stuff is not any cheaper than if I bought it from the store. A word of advice, be sure to buy a product at the store first to make sure you and your family like it before buying it in bulk.
Ease into it. See what works for you. I know that it's quite easy to switch over to chemical free cleaners. Seventh Generation and others put out coupons and instead of having 30 different cleaners under my sink I now have dish soap, dishwasher powder, multi-purpose cleaner, all surface wipes, wood cleaning wipes and downstairs I have laundry soap. I still need to get toilet cleaner, but what I have right now works great for what I need right now.
Again, try to switch little by little and find out what works for you.
