I am on a strict budget which leaves me roughly $26o per month for groceries. That is simply not enough to keep 3 teens in food for an entire month, even with them in school. Something really needs to change here. It is unacceptable that low income families or those families on a strictly fixed income cannot buy the foods that are healthful and beneficial to their kids, and themselves. Completely unacceptable.

I agree it can be done, Kristen, it just takes some doing. For instance, cherries, while totally delicious, aren't really in season. You might be better off buying naval oranges, clementines, pears, bananas, and apples until the winter chill wears off. Frozen entrees are rarely a good deal, even when they’re not organic.

It depends on the individual market, of course, but you can find some amazing organic produce for a fraction of the price! A great place to check for cheaper produce is at ethnic food markets.
