ORGANICS at Vons & Safeway! Very Delicious, Great Prices
Saving money by shopping at the local grocery store for organic fruits and vegetables CAN be done. Here’s how.
Ellienne’s Suggestions
“To my utter delight and gratitude, Vons (also known as Safeway) has a beautiful selection of organic fruits and veggies.
I found their organic produce to be wonderful. I hope the Vons or Safeway in your locale has them as well.
If you do not have a Vons or Safeway in your area, it’s a GREAT idea to suggest to your local grocer that they stock organics. They often do respond to their customers’ requests. If there’s enough customers who buy, they’ll definitely bring more and more into their stores.
I just got huge bunches of the best cilantro I’ve tasted, recently. The flavor was so genuine, fresh and pure, that I was amazed. Often I find that regular cilantro has an almost “soapy” and “chemical” flavor. Von’s organic cilantro was delicately floral and sweet with no aftertaste.
They also had the most delicious organic HEIRLOOM tomatoes. Incredibly sweet with “beefy” rich, succulent flavors without acidity. All the organic vegetables were impressive. Prices are extremely reasonable.
Our local Vons Safeway now has 92 varieties of organic fruits and vegetables. They also have organic, grassfed beef, for those who eat meat.
I must remember to shop there regularly to support them in their wonderful efforts to bring organics to mainstream grocery shopping!

More Savings:
Finding local farmers who grow organic or pesticide free – it’s a boon. Check out farmers’ markets and local growers.
Growing greens in containers is MUCH easier than anyone might think. 12 pots can provide a steady stream of delicious greens. A few large pots can reap tasty vegetables. And, nothing beats a raised bed garden. : )
Buying seeds online and then sprouting is TREMENDOUSLY value saving.

Blending Rather Than Juicing
I no longer juice quite as much, as smoothies and minced or chopped salads are very nourishing as well and immensely satisfying. Juicing can lead to throwing away the pulp which is very valuable for fiber and satiation.
When we are transitioning, very ill and / or malnourished, juicing can be very beneficial. But these days, with increasingly higher prices for food, the best value for the buck includes consuming the valuable pulp.
Pulp can be made into various cracker or bread type treats with dyhydrating. However, I personally do not dehydrate, as nothing beats fresh and living. : )”
