7 Tips for Shopping Organic on a Dime

Organic food shopping doesn't have to be costly! There are many ways that you can cut costs while receiving high-quality organic food for your family. We've outlined a few tips that will aid you in saving money when buying organic food:

1. Buy in Season

Produce and vegetables in season are cheaper. Not only are they cheaper however, they also taste better and more fresh since they're more plentiful. Our blog contains the list of fruits and veggies.

2. Look through local ads

Most supermarkets release a weekly ad which highlights the items on sale that week, which often includes organic turmeric powder. Ward's Supermarket publishes a weekly sales ad every Wednesday, and you can sign up to our newsletter to be first informed when the ad goes live. We often feature organic items and foods from local farms!

3. Utilize Coupons

A few of the largest organic sellers offer coupons for their products that are available at the majority of supermarkets. You can find coupons on the internet, in newspapers and local circulars or even on mobile applications. There are also apps, like Ibotta which can give you discounts for purchasing certain brands of products.

4. Buy Private Label Brands

Generic brands from grocery stores usually provide the same high-quality that the brand name brands offer as well as staple food items like flour and sugar, are the best option to buy generic.

Private brand products are not contaminated with preservatives and have ingredients that are easy to pronounce.
