  • How do you shop? What do you buy and where AND what do you grow? Added by Dhrumil on August 16, 2009 at 2:06pm in GI2MR Collective Wisdom
    What I'm very interested in hearing is how you buy your food and where you buy your food.

    How do you spread your budget around to get the best produce and the best price? So if you wouldn't mind sharing....

    Questions

    1) What do you buy at your local natural foods store?

    2) What do you buy from your local farmers market?

    3) Do you grow anything? If so what?

    4) Do you buy anything in bulk online? Like herbs, teas, nuts, etcs

    5) How much money do you spend on average in a month?

    Holla at your boy...

    i know it's been a few months since you ask these questions and might have even gotten the answers by now..but i will answer them anyway and hope it helps you...

    1. I personally do very little shopping at health food stores or my local markets... we are blessed to have farmer's markets around here and i get as much organic as possible...if u do not have that luxury, then you want to check around or online for an organic co-op to buys produce at a reduced costs as compared to the stores...items to purchase: organic produce of any sort, virgin coconut oil (although tropicaltraditions.com is great to order) virgin oil and sesame oils, hemp seeds, chia on occasion, nutritional yeast, nuts, seeds, phyllium husks (to thicken items), buckwheat and wheatgrass seeds for sprouting and growing and such...that's about it for me...of course, spices...

    2.as much as possible that is organic...avos that are not organic cuz they are low on the pesticide spray list...
    3. wheatgrass for juicing and mung, lentil, fenugreek, buckwheat sprouts...some herbs...looking to do more once we get our yard set up :)
    4. YES...lots of sites..just google serach and you will find just about anything u need
    5/my hubby and I spend about $60 a week on average...not bad for two people, eh? clean healthy food? we don't eat out much and make our foods...and have our dehydrator for snacks...

    enjoy your journey...it is a marvelous one!!...blessings...
