My dh is the only one in the house who drinks milk and he just wants regular 2%.</p> <p>Eta: sorry I had no clue what "dirty dozen" was when answering </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-buy-organic#post-1768850 Sat, 19 Jul 2014 07:52:53 +0000 Trailmix 1768850@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually go to the farmer's market, so while a lot of the produce there is not necessarily organic, it's grown on much smaller scale farms, which use less pesticides, etc. So I get whatever produce is available (love summer harvest season, there's sooo much!), plus milk, yogurt and butter from the dairy there, meat and eggs from vendors there as well (all grass fed and humanely raised). I've definitely become a lot more conscious of where my animal products come from since I started feeding my babies! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-buy-organic#post-1768777 Sat, 19 Jul 2014 04:02:44 +0000 lamariniere 1768777@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Whatever I can! But here the organic brands are not that much more expensive than regular ones, so if there is an organic option, I take it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-buy-organic#post-1768742 Sat, 19 Jul 2014 00:36:13 +0000 Kimberlybee 1768742@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Milk, eggs, yogurt, baby pouches are always organic and meats and veggies when they are on sale. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-buy-organic#post-1768735 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 23:54:20 +0000 shopaholic 1768735@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Whatever I can usually. All of LOs food pouches and milk. I look for cage-free, no hormones and antibiotics for eggs and meat when I can. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-buy-organic#post-1768711 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 23:17:10 +0000 skibobrown 1768711@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Milk, eggs, as much produce as possible, and as much of DD's food as possible.

Canned tomatoes which are pretty much the only canned food we eat. Organic produce when we can afford it. Organic bread/crackers/whatever processed food we buy on an extremely limited basis. Our bulk stores of oats and wheat. Sugar. And anything for LO! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-buy-organic#post-1768089 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 15:31:56 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 1768089@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>milk<br /> eggs<br /> all baby food and puffs<br /> all animal products<br /> all snacky type things for lo, like crackers and fruit leathers<br /> protein bars<br /> pasta sauce<br /> ketchup<br /> granola<br /> most canned veggies<br /> juice<br /> bread<br /> cooking oils </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-buy-organic#post-1768068 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 15:19:19 +0000 Mrs. Lion 1768068@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh, and beef. I switched to only organic grass fed for red meat. We only have it 2-3 times per month to keep the cost down...its not cheap. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-buy-organic#post-1768066 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 15:18:34 +0000 Mrs. Lion 1768066@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just milk. I do rbgh free for all other dairy. I dont do organic for all of the dirty dozen, but always for lettuce and spinach since they are much harder to wash well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-buy-organic#post-1768052 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 15:08:17 +0000 yoursilverlining 1768052@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All meat, eggs and milk. </p> <p>Not really "organic", but along the same lines of thinking. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-buy-organic#post-1768043 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 15:04:26 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 1768043@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Most animal products, although my main concern is that they are hormone free not necessarily organic certified. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-buy-organic#post-1768019 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 14:54:36 +0000 Smurfette 1768019@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>FF milk for DH and I. Only cause it lasts so much longer and neither of us drink it. Just for cereal and cooking. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-buy-organic#post-1768004 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 14:47:32 +0000 lawbee11 1768004@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just milk and eggs. And sometimes we buy the organic Gerber pouches but only because I can never find regular Gerber pouches (maybe they don't exist?). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-buy-organic#post-1768001 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 14:46:37 +0000 avivoca 1768001@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Milk!!! I get my milk from a local organic dairy. I also am a stickler about organic eggs and prefer grass-fed beef. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-buy-organic#post-1768000 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 14:45:37 +0000 mrsjyw 1768000@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In addition to the dirty dozen, DH has been on an organic kick. I'd like to pair down his "buy everything organic" craze to something a bit more budget friendly and manageable.</p> <p>What are your organic essentials? (Excluding the dirty dozen) </p>
