Tips for an Organic Food Budget

Money Saving Mom has a guest post today by Jennifer of When Pigs Fly.

It's titled:

How We Afford to Eat Organic Foods on a $100 Weekly Grocery Budget

I don't necessarily agree with everything 100%, but I always think its valuable to read new information and gleen from it what fits well with you.

So HERE it is for your reading pleasure.

Recipe: Graham Crackers

I have tried way too many graham cracker recipes; some were too spiced like gingerbread, others were so buttery they felt like dessert. But these, these ones are golden.

Slather them with cream cheese, use them to make a Nutella sandwich, chop them up and add them to ice cream, or pulse them in the food processor to use for a graham cracker crust.

These are so good, so good you see.

This recipe is easily doubled…and should be doubled!

Whole Wheat Honey Graham Crackers

2 ¼ cups whole wheat flour
½ cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon cinnamon
¼ cup honey
¼ cup water
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup butter, melted

1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Melt the butter in glass bowl in the microwave or on the stove in a pan.  Set aside.
3. In the bowl of your Kitchen-Aid, stir together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon.
4. Add the honey, water, vanilla and melted butter.
5. Stir on low until the dough comes together.
6. Use cookie sheet-sized parchment paper to roll out the dough on and then use it to line the cookie sheets.
7. Lay one piece of cookie sheet-sized parchment paper on the counter.
8. Place the ball of dough on the parchment paper.
9. Lay the other piece of parchment paper on top of the ball of dough.  Begin to spread the dough with your hands.

10. Use the rolling pin to roll the dough between the pieces of parchment paper.  Roll until the dough is the size of the whole cookie sheet, trying to keep it as even as possible.

11. Remove the top piece of parchment paper.  Use a pizza cutter or biscuit cutter or cookie cutter or ravioli cutter to cut the graham crackers however you would like. Use a fork to prick holes on the surface of the crackers. Remove each cracker and place it on the cookie sheet leaving a little space in between.

12. Bake around 12-14 minutes, depending on if you want them nice and soft or crunchy.

I freeze these in a big Ziploc bag and pull them out as needed for school lunches or to bring while running errands.

Recipe adapted every so slightly from Heavenly Homemakers

Tom's of Maine Website Sale

Normally I would use a code like this on clearance items to boost that 20% off into greater savings.

For example, Tom's Energizing Bars 2 pack is normally $4.99 and it's on clearance for $3.80.
With the extra 20% off that is $3.02, or 40% off retail.

Typically, if I shop the hot deals I can get Tom's of Maine 50% off, so this isn't the best out there.
However, if you are completely out and need something, than 20% off is better than paying full price.
My advice: buy something only if you absolutely need it now. Otherwise wait until the next hot deal and stock up then.

Navel Oranges are in Season

I am seeing Organic Navel Oranges on sale at nearly every store for just $0.99 a lb.
So don't pay more than that!

The few I've gotten recently have been delicious. They are in season, which means not only do they have more flavor, but they have more nutrients.

Do your best to buy local, as the flavor and health benefits are greater the shorter amount of time they spend in a delivery truck.

Navel oranges contain:
Vitamin C
Fiber
Beta Carotene
Calcium
B 6
Potassium
Magnesium

These nutrients and vitamins boost the immune system, promote healing, lower cholesterol, lower blood pressure, boost production of hemoglobin in the blood stream, prevent cancer, help the body absorb iron, and help build strong healthy bones.

Who knew an orange packed such a punch!


Did you know the Navel Orange is actually a 200 year old clone?

What are they? Soap Nuts. They are the nuts off a tree that you use instead of laundry soap. Apparently they work. I wish the soap nut tree fairy would give these to me so I could try them. I am so curious. They are on sale: Learn more about them HERE.

Found a new magazine: Clean Eating

My sister gave me a stack of magazines to read the other day and tucked in the middle was one I had never seen before.

Clean Eating.



I was skeptical at first, thinking it would be a little too clean for me, ie RAW, or something like that.

Instead I found myself reading every single article, drooling over every single recipe, and even giddy over the advertisements as I discovered a plethora of new resources to explore.

The current offer is $15 for 8 issues.
I am hoping to find an every better deal to post.

In the meantime, check out their website:

Vitacost Coconut Oil Deal is back for NEW customers

Vitacost has their deal back where if you spend $20 or more on Vitacost brand goods you get free shipping. If you are a new customer you get $10 off your first order.

The Coconut oil is $20.99, so after coupon its $10.99 AND free shipping.
I dare you to hunt around and see if you can get organic coconut oil for a price any where CLOSE to this. It's an awesome deal.

You can use this oil to replace your cooking oil, but it is also fantastic for homemade soaps, lotions, deodorants, lip balm, etc etc.

NEW customers get your $10 off your first order HERE


If the Coconut Oil doesn't interest you, I suggest looking at their pure oils like lavendar and eucalyptus. They also have a wide variety of supplements and vitamins.

FREE Nivea Lip balm

It's not Vegan, it's not even organic.

BUT

It is paraben free.

And the price can't be beat.

Safeway has Nivea Lip Care on sale for just $0.99
With this $1/1 coupon, you will get it for FREE!

If you don't like the idea of using a lip balm that isn't organic than I recommend picking this up and putting it in your emergency first aid kit in your car or storage. It would also be a great little addition to a donation to a women's shelter or disaster zone.

You can put it in an Easter basket or Christmas stocking too.

This highly concentrated, all natural, formula is a great base for making your own household cleaners, toilet bowl cleaner, even hand soap and shampoo. The recipes are endless. It's a great way to have chemical free products in your home without the hefty price often associated with these goods.

Dr. Brommer's bar soap is also on sale for 2/$5. I am going to shave these down into a homemade laundry detergent mixed with borax and washing soda.

Simple Switch: Baking Powder

How do your biscuits grow?

It may come as a surprise to you (it did to me) that regular old baking powder contains aluminum (go ahead-check your label) as a leavening agent. 

The good news is it is easy to avoid this extra dose of aluminum simply by buying an aluminum-free brand next time you run out!

I have bought the Rumford brand (at Safeway) and Bob's Red Mill (at Big Lots, weird). 

It costs slightly more but I think it is worth it. I also just read about a new brand called Argo that I definitely want to try!

If you are an avid baker/cook you can read this in depth post all about the differences in baking powders.

David Lebovitz (a professional baker/cooker and cookbook author) recommends switching to aluminum-free baking powder because it will improve the taste of your baked goods.

Baking powder doesn't last forever, if you want to check to see if yours is still good:

• Drop 1 teaspoon baking powder into 1/3 cup of hot water; if it bubbles and fizzes then it's still good!

Over exposure to aluminum could result in skeletal deformities, brain degeneration and damage to the nervous system.

If you are starting your garden from seed this year, I would start your seeds inside within the next 3 weeks. I am going to start next week. I don't have a backyard so I am just doing some small pots on my porch-- that sits in the shade. Should be a fun experiment.



I had no idea they also sell food-- like organic chocolate. Guess I have some homework to do.

Whole Foods best deals of the week courtesty of The Frugal Find

The Frugal Find puts up a nice list each week of the best deals to score at Whole Foods. I wish she added produce prices as well. On the other hand, she's in Oregon and the prices aren't always accurate for us in the Bay Area anyway.

If you or anyone you know would like to be our Whole Foods Gal let me know. I would love to have someone report back on their Whole Foods shopping trips each week and tell us the produce sales and grocery store steals.

2 Things I'd like to add:

1- if you bring your kids make sure you stop at the service desk before you start shopping. Each child gets a free treat to make your shopping go a little smoother.

and

2- in the fresh deli section they sell raw pizza dough from the bakery in bags for just $1.29.
Take it home, roll it out, top with all your organic goodness. Nice.
