This day was one full of high carb meals and snacks. Dinner was a delicious bowl of organic Basmati brown rice, organic cabbage, organic red bell pepper, organic spinach, organic red onions, and organic ground turkey!
I have wanted to turn our meals to organic for a long time now. At first it was overwhelming, due to what I initially found to be higher prices for organic. Yet, after months of testing out different markets in hopes to simplify my shopping quests for organic, and affordable foods, I found I was able to narrow it down to three different markets to shop in.
1. Costco: 1-2x/month. Costco offers a nice selection of organic foods at the best prices in town. And the organic foods are easy to find because Costco uses green food signs for all their organic items:))).
2. Trader Joes: 1x/week. TJ's has a great selection of organic greens, fruits, and vegetables. Not to mention organic salsa, nitrite/nitrate-free lunch meat and turkey bacon, and even organic treats for the kids and pets. The prices at TJ's are so affordable for organic, if you haven't checked out this market, I recommend it. One of a few other little bonuses they have is if you use reusable grocery bags, you get to write your name and number down on a piece of receipt paper, and it goes into a weekly drawing for $50. in free groceries!!!
3. Smith's Grocery: 1x/week. I shop at this local grocery market because it does have certain organic items I can't find other places, such as green cabbage, and ground turkey.
