Organics on a budget
I am a work-from-home mom of 2 and I have recently gotten into buying organic products for my family. Most people are aware of the pretty big price difference between regular products and organic ones but I found some ways to stay in my budget without sacrificing my "all natural" goodies. I started by reading a book called "Healthy Baby Happy Home" that has a great list of organic baby products, their prices and where to find them. I like that the author did a lot of research for me so I didnt have to comparison shop. Once I found products I liked for my kids, I actually started using them as well. My daughter and I share her "Earths Best by JASON" organic lavender scented lotion and I wash my clothes with the "Seventh Generation" laundry soap I use for their clothes. At around $7-$8 for each product I make my money stretch by losing the products I use to use just on myself. Now we are all living greener!
