One thing worth mentioning:
We don't eat all organic but we do buy some. We do eat a lot of whole foods. Yes, you can eat whole foods on a budget. Just remeber that your budget just might look different. But, like others have said you just have to be creative to save. We all do what works for us and our families and do the best we can. We must remember to allow ourselves some grace. :)
