I've had people tell me they can't afford to buy organic produce and I totally get that.
I only buy certain organic fruits and veggies.
Not all fresh produce has to be organic.. just certain ones where you are eating the skin or have a skin that is thin enough to allow chemicals into the item.

If you can't afford to buy 100% organic, use this list to help you decide what to splurge on when you do buy organic. Also, check your organic area for special deals. Often times, the prices are the same or slightly higher for organic and non-organic so why not buy organic if it's the same price or very close?
You DO NOT Need to buy organic:
onions
avocado
corn - buy local whenever possible
pineapple
mango
asparagus
sweet peas
kiwi - wash well
cabbage
eggplant
papaya
melons - watermelon, cantaloupe and honeydew
broccoli
bananas
cauliflower
winter squash
You SHOULD buy organic:
peaches
apples
bell peppers
celery
nectarines
strawberries - grow your own if you can!
cherries
spinach
leafy greens
grapes
carrots
pears
potatoes
tomatoes
raspberries
citrus that you are using for zest.
