I usually won't pay exorbitant prices for organic food - whole foods is a bit too expensive for me, but then I need cash to pay for my bike hobby. But I do try to make smart food choices.

I'm a bit skeptical as to how organic some things actually are - take for example organic coconut milk. I'd be willing to bet that almost all coconuts are farmed organically - have you seen how thick the shells are and how high up coconuts are?

Trader Joe's - I love their dried fruit and some of their packaged stuff, but I don't live near one and they seem to always discontinue the item I love most right after I've taken a pretty large detour to get to one. I don't buy any produce from them because their prices aren't that great for the quality.

I get a fair amount of fruit from farmer's markets, other than that I love the selection that big korean grocery stores have. I grow tomatos, basil, strawberries, and a bunch of other herbs myself.

My Bloom (fancy food lion) grocery store has frozen wild pacific salmon in their seafood freezers that is $8 for 1.5 lbs, $6 when on sale. At that price, I don't see the point in paying for farmed atlantic salmon that someone added the pink color to, in order to make it look like salmon.

Where most of the organic products that I do buy come from is Costco. They have big cartons of organic salad mix that's like $6. 4-5 lb bags of organic spinach for like $5 as well. Same with organic carrots, peppers, etc. I live by myself, so I often can't eat that much in the way of vegetables, but I eat what I can, and when things start to turn, I just make a huge pot of soup out of everything... I freeze some of it to save for a cold day that I need a quick meal.

For biking, I carry a lot of Cliff bar products, which are "mostly" organic. Caffeinated shot bloks are the greatest thing since sliced bread. 2 or 3 of those with half a cliff bar when I start to bonk on a long ride is perfect. Every so often Amazon.com has great coupons on cliff products, and when they do, I stock up.
