How to Save Money on Organic Produce
As
you probably know, organic food in Vancouver can be quite pricey.
However, they do offer a lot of benefits that regular produce can’t
so it’s worth the splurge. But if you’re looking to save more
money, give the following tips a go when shopping for Organic
Food in Vancouver:
1. Know
which produce is most notorious for having a lot of pesticides
content and buy that organic.
Berries
and apples, for instance, can be loaded with pesticides so it’s a
good idea to prioritize them when buying organic produce on a budget.
2. Buy
only what you will need for a week.
Fresh
produce do not keep that long in the fridge. They taste better when
they are fresh so make sure you just buy enough for a week to avoid
unused vegetables that will just rot in your fridge. You can try meal
planning and then figure out the portions you need so you can shop
for only the ingredients you can use.
3. Got
leftovers? Re-use them
Stems,
for instance, can be used to make vegetable stock. Use the stems of
broccoli or cauliflower to make a delicious stock that you can still
use for your cooking. It also saves you more money in buying canned
stock.
You
can stretch your budget and also be able to maximize your consumption
of fresh produce by considering these tips. With the amount of
pesticides being used on fresh produce these days, it’s important
to switch some of your kitchen staples to organic ones to avoid
contamination and ingesting high levels of pesticides.
