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.
What are your organic essentials? (Excluding the dirty dozen)
-
Milk!!! I get my milk from a local organic dairy. I also am a stickler about organic eggs and prefer grass-fed beef.
-
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?).
-
FF milk for DH and I. Only cause it lasts so much longer and neither of us drink it. Just for cereal and cooking.
-
Most animal products, although my main concern is that they are hormone free not necessarily organic certified.
-
All meat, eggs and milk.
Not really "organic", but along the same lines of thinking.
-
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.
-
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.

milk
eggs
all baby food and puffs
all animal products
all snacky type things for lo, like crackers and fruit leathers
protein bars
pasta sauce
ketchup
granola
most canned veggies
juice
bread
cooking oils -
Animal products like milk, butter, eggs, cheese, and meat. 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!
-
Milk, eggs, meat.
-
Milk and that's it
-
Produce, dairy, meat...we get a lot of organic stuff...one option is to find a local farm/ranch that is basically organic but who don't have the actually certification because its so expensive to get it.
-
Milk, eggs, as much produce as possible, and as much of DD's food as possible. Trader Joe's has organic spaghettios. Check!
-
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.
-
Milk, eggs, yogurt, baby pouches are always organic and meats and veggies when they are on sale.
-
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.
-
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!
-
Meat, berries, spinach, butter, yogurt. My dh is the only one in the house who drinks milk and he just wants regular 2%.
Eta: sorry I had no clue what "dirty dozen" was when answering
