Is Organic More Expensive?

Walmart vs Trader Joe's 

I'm constantly hearing people say they would love to eat organic food, but they don't normally buy it because it's too expensive. Well, if you shop at Walmart and you don't think you can afford organic fruits and veggies, you may want to think again.

I decided to do a little price comparison just for kicks. I wanted to see what the difference would be between the produce at Walmart vs Trader Joe's and here's what I found.....

Walmart's spinach is about $1.00 more than Trader Joe's organic spinach. I always had a hunch that Walmart was not always the cheapest, but it was good to do a side by side to confirm.

Most people have at least heard that organic fruits and vegetables are more expensive, but the question is how much more? Well, based on my trip to Trader Joe's, there was only a 20 cent difference between the organic vs non-organic lemons....which is not that big of a price gap. I personally go for the organic when possible.

Hopefully this provides you with some insight for your next trip to the grocery store. The conclusion is that you may pay a bit more more for organic depending on what you buy. I know organic meats are usually always more expensive, but other organic items don't always have to be.

Healthy Eating Shopping

Eating the right foods is probably the most important portion of getting those amazing abs you’ve always dreamed of…. be sure to incorporate fruits and veggies into your diet for maximum results……

Today I went to Trader Joe's to purchase some of my favorite fruits and veggies to get my

off to a great start.

During this challenge I’ll be eating lots of vegetable, fruit and drinking plenty of water daily. I try to do all of these things already, but I will be even more conscious now.
