Why Organic Foods Cost More, Why They Are Worth It, And How To Lower Their Cost

Next is to learn to look out for bargains. When I visit health food stores, I sometimes spend hours scouring through the various products on display. Those which contain undesirable ingredients are immediately struck off.

Among the many health food products, there are some with pretty astronomical prices – usually, I don’t buy them too. Instead, I look out for products which are much more reasonably priced. I sometimes find some gems!

Quite a number of food products I consume come from Eden Organic, an organic company, while Earthbound Farm provides a number of imported produce for me, including salads.

Sometimes, for certain types of foods, especially the dryer varieties which can keep for longer periods, buying in bulk would also help to bring your organic food cost down.

If you allow yourself to be flexible in your food choices and select items which are on sale, you would be able to benefit from even more savings.

Also, if you are able to locate one, then join a co-operative. Co-ops operate for the benefit of their members and are usually able to offer services and products at lower prices, with less price markup.

If you take these simple steps, you will be surprised that your expenses on organic food can be much lower than expected and kept at a pretty manageable level.

Conclusion

We can be pretty sure that as demand for healthy organic foods continue to grow, and organic farming and organic food products become more popular, economies of scale would help to bring down overall organic food costs.

The way I see, even though the prices of organic food are higher, it’s an investment for good health.

Would we purchase poor quality petrol, and poor quality engine oil, which we know have harmful substances which would damage our cars, just because they are cheaper? Probably not.

Why then would we buy and consume poor quality foods on a regular basis, knowing they are doing harm to our precious (and irreplaceable) bodies?
