We had an organic online produce store open near our town so I went in guns a blazing wanting to 1) eat organic and 2) support local and the boxes of mixed vegies & fruit (no choice) was $85. I just couldn't justify that for our one income family as I'd need one each week. I do our total fortnightly shop for less than $350 and given we grown all our own vegies it just wasn't viable. It has since closed down :( Maybe it's a sign for you to sit down and get a growing plan for your vegie garden and get it working for you and get the kids to do the work with you ;) Jan xJan (a gluttonous wife)https://www.blogger.com/profile/04980538485559579650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5561399350178041671.post-47570265931090010342014-03-25T12:40:48.048+11:002014-03-25T12:40:48.048+11:00Organic food can be so expensive can't it?
