I feel SO lucky that I have this available: http://www.spud.com (small potatoes urban delivery)

I get a weekly organic fruit/veggie box, plus some other groceries (they even have toilet paper!) which get delivered right to my door on Wednesdays. And despite the fact that each individual item is more expensive than my local grocery store, I end up spending *less* per week, because I tweak what I order to be just what I need, instead of impulse buying.

It also alerts you as to how far each item traveled and gives you an order average. While I am not down to the 100-mile radius, I do feel a bit better when I can swap out the bananas (from Mexico) with apples (from just down the street) and I don't feel deprived at all. They also have some (limited) local and organic meat selections.

I guess the point is: it makes organic and local really easy for me. I don't have to do a ton of research and work, and I don't have to go to the grocery store to boot.

If anyone wants to sign up, lemme know; I have a ton of referrer codes.
