How much organic food are you still doing with lo? Veggies? Fruits? Milk? Everything? Just when it's on sale?
We were doing only organic whole milk and primarily organic snacks and fruits and veggies. But i just made the switch to non organic milk yesterday because i was sick of the price.
Curious as our los get older how much organic you all are still doing? It's only me who does the shopping and deciding- dh thinks organic is a crock but i think you can in fact tell the difference with some items.

I am with @aeroplaneoverthesea we eat a mostly plant based diet so a lot of the things we buy end up being organic but we don't actively seek out organic foods. Though our major grocery store here (Stop & Shop) has an organic store brand which we buy a lot of because it is priced really well. I don't freak out if DS isn't eating all organic food though. We do use organic/natural cleaning products and toiletries though. I will stock up on things when I find really good sales to save money.
We're trying to eat more organic as a whole so DS is still getting organic milk, we buy mostly organic fruits and veggies, and other organic items when we can (such as butter, flour, sugar, etc).

I try to buy local more-so than specifically organic. Always get local eggs and milk, and most of our meat. We have a CSA-like delivery service that only has in-state providers and you can pick and choose what you want and when you want it (as often as once a week). So much more convenient than trying to go to the farmer's market every week and it has a larger selection of stuff.
Costco also seems to be getting more and more organic food. The Apple Go-Squeeze pouches there are organic and cost less than the non-organic at the regular grocery store.
I don't bother with it too much, there are so many bugs in the organic stuff here that I end up throwing away too much of it. We're going to start going to the weekend markets again because rumor has it we can get kale there! Like… real kale.

decaflife Oh my goodness I feel you on the international living. When I was in the Caribbean we would freak out when the market got things like strawberries and milk!
TheEleventhHour luckily we can find almost anything we're looking for, it just costs an arm. I paid the equivalent of 8 USD for a tiny container of blueberries once because I decided DD needed to try blueberries.
