Do your research. If it is hard to go totally organic due to price, figure out what foods your family eats most and which are most contaminated. I learned this from my best friend. She had a list of things she would absolutely not buy non-organic. Apples and peanuts I know were on that list. (She buys all organic now). Oh, grapes and raisins. She researched which foods were most contaminated. She slowly added to this list until she could handle all organic.

Also ask around at your local LLL meetings, homeschoolers meetings, etc. and see if there is a local organic co-op. We actually have a couple here.

Now, I have given this advice to you, I need to follow it myself. But, I have found that here, especially this time of year when little is "in season", organic is the same price as non-organic in the grocery.
