Organic Food, Sources and Prices

[Guest guest]

Hello My Health Conscious Friends !

 

I'm spending more time looking for organic food

and comparing prices these days. I find myself

not purchasing items I might have bought in years

past but now the prices are too high.

 

How about you?

I imagine you are finding yourself in the same boat

I'm in. When the price of food is going up, what

healthy, affordable food is out there for you and

your family ? I'm seriously considering rice and

beans but more on that in my next email.

 

Here are some things I came across within the past month

that may be of help to some of you.

 

For those of you who have a Costco membership -

you may or may not know -

 

Coleman's organic chicken thighs boneless $3.99/lb.

Coleman's organic chicken breasts boneless $5.99/lb.

 

We were told today they carry Organic Ground Beef.

They were out of it so I don't know the price.

 

Cascadian Farms frozen berry mix

Organic Blueberries, Organic Blackberries, Organic Raspberries

$10.99 for 3 pounds of frozen berries

 

I saw fresh, organic Raspberries at Whole Foods this past weekend for

$5.99 for 6 ounces (small plastic Driscoll package) = $1.00 an ounce.

Normally they are $2.99 or $3.99 = 50 cents an ounce and 66.5 cents an

ounce

 

At Publix*, the cost is $3.99 for 10 ounces of Cascadian Farms, frozen,

Organic Berry mix with Strawberries instead of Raspberries

 

Try 23 cents an ounce at Costco to 40 cents an ounce at Publix

 

Publix does have Coleman's Organic Beef Hamburger Patties

8 - 1/4 pound patties for $9.29 a package. They also carry a

frozen seafood mix - wild caught - raw Octopus, raw Cuttlefish,

raw Squid, raw Shrimp and cooked Clams or Mussels - 1 pound

for $3.99. I like to simmer the seafood in a small amount of

water, steam organic cabbage cut in long shreds to resemble

spaghetti, add spaghetti sauce and seafood and eat !

Remember to buy and eat only Wild Caught not Farm raised fish.

 

Here in Florida, I must say Publix is doing a good job supplying

fresh, organic fruits and veggies at a competitive price to Whole

Foods and often I find myself not buying things at Whole Foods

and getting them at Publix. Examples:

 

On July 18th at Whole Foods a 6 oz. package of fresh, organic

Raspberries was $5.99 whereas at Publix the same was $2.99.

 

Publix - Delallo Organic Olive Oil Cold Pressed, Unfiltered,

$11.29

Whole Foods Delallo identical except Filtered $12.99

I prefer the unfiletered - (less processed) and $1.70 cheaper.

 

If anyone else would like to share some general

information on where

to find organic food and where to find the best prices, email me please

and I'll share your sources with the group.

 

I also have a bean salad recipe (cooked and raw) that I'll be sharing

soon. Easy to prepare and extra yummy in warm summer weather.

 

Until then - may you find, prepare and grow healthfilled foods.
