REALLY Organic

If you’d like to buy organic meat for half price – buy in bulk...

You can get organic beef or pork for half price – IF you buy the whole cow or pig. Steve and Annette Economides, authors of “Cut Your Grocery Bill in Half with America’s Cheapest Family,” say we can eat organically for a lot less than we think. Just head for the nearest farm or ranch instead of the meat department. If you buy an organically raised cow or pig – you can have it butchered by the farmer or by a student in the butchery program of an area tech school. You’ll need to find another family to go half on the hooves with you – unless you’ve got a REALLY big freezer.

While you’re at the farm – offer to get a little dirty. Some organic farms will lower the prices of their inventory a lot for customers willing to do a little farm work.
