I am sure that prices vary in different locations, but in sunny San Diego I have gotten pretty used to a large chunk of my check and my right arm going toward groceries. If you are like us and also look for these kind of items; organic, grass-fed, pastured, non-GMO, chemical/nitrate/additive-free, then you know what I am talking about!
How can we eat healthy or buy organic food when on a budget? This seems to be a top request from clients so I thought I would do a little research at Costco.
After 1 hour with a 3 year old clinging to my leg, here are the 20 items that made it into our cart! We didn’t have time for the fruit and veggie section, but I know that they carry a good amount of organic produce, so check that out as well!
