I buy good eggs (organic, free range or at least cage free) and organic milk even though it costs more. 33-cents per egg is hardly going to break my bank, as I eat a few a week. Organic milk just tastes better IMO. I'm still able to keep my weekly grocery bill at about $60, and I rarely eat out. That's just for me, I'm just shopping for myself.

I would like to buy organic meat more often but my local store doesn't carry it and I rarely find myself near the health food store that does. Now that it's farmer's market season, however, I'll be able to find organic or at least local meat and chicken closer to home.

I grow the majority of my own veggies in the spring, summer and fall, and this coming winter I plan to grow winter greens under hoops. I have a neighbor who occasionally gives me eggs from his chickens in exchange for homemade bread, but I've been too busy to bake bread, so we have not been doing the trade lately.
