Healthy vs Cheap

Oh, bother! I love a deal so much....but I realize the economic importance of buying local....and I want to buy organic, cruelty-free, free-range, homegrown, pesticide-free (etc) products. Those things do NOT come cheap. I know, the more people buy local and organic the less expensive it becomes, but who knows how long it will take before it's really the better deal financially?? I'm in a quandry...so I buy the better product when I can afford it and when it's not toooooo bad of a deal, and the rest of the time, I buy commercially-produced food. *sigh* I kinda hate that I love the deal the most.

  2. There is no easy answer here. I just bought a $12 hunk of local sheep cheese. It was delicious and it is almost gone. I also bought a dozen local, home produced eggs for 4 bucks, which isn't so bad. You need to get a bus and then we can raise chickens together.
