They were spending 400-500 a week on organic food? That seems a little high to me.
In our Money Mic series, we hand over the podium to people with controversial views about money. These are their views, not ours, but we welcome your responses.
Today, one man shares how he went from being an organic grocery store shopper to a gardener who grows all of his own produce—saving $24K in the process.
My wife, Susan, and I have always loved healthy food, especially the fresh, vine-ripened kind—which is why we routinely spent upwards of $400 a week scouting organic grocers for the tastiest produce.
But it wasn’t until we accepted a dinner invitation from our friend Eliza—a master naturalist who grows all of her own food—that we realized just how amazing organic eating could really be.
As Eliza gave us a tour of her garden, Susan and I spotted these odd little husked fruits called ground cherries under a small shrub. Once we tasted them we were blown away by their delicious, pineapple-citrus flavor.
That’s when Eliza told us about the secret world of wacky and unusual heirloom foods most people don’t know about—unless you grow them yourself.
