Five ways to save when buying organic foods

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — Organic foods may not be on your shopping list, but
it’s getting so easy to buy what seems to be better-for-you-and-the-planet
versions of your favorite products that odds are you’re reaching for them anyway.
They are often worth the extra money — but with a little research, you can still
find ways to save.

First, learn how to spot organic rip-offs. One little known fact is that grocers
are legally required to stack organic fruits and vegetables where they won’t be
exposed to water runoff from the misting of conventional produce, which could
contaminate organic items with pesticide residue. So if you see organic produce
stores below conventional produce, find somewhere else to shop.

Also, don’t be misled by nonorganic foods placed in the organics section of the
store, such as “all natural yogurt” in the organic dairy case. The two are often
jumbled together, but they don’t mean the same thing.
