How do you maintain the organic lifestyle when you are on a strict budget? Organic products needn’t be a luxury - organic is available to everyone seeking a healthier lifestyle and the enjoyment of quality products. Read our top tips for an organic lifestyle without the expensive price tag.
- Getting your fruit and vegetables from an organic box scheme means you can get fresh, local produce delivered to your door, paying a lot less than you would in a supermarket whilst supporting British farmers and growers.
- Cooking meals from scratch with this fresh fruit and veg is a lot healthier and usually a lot cheaper than processed, ready-made meals.
- Eating less meat is the inexpensive way to eat organically, or when you do buy it choosing lower cost cuts such as belly of pork.
- Make your meat last as long as possible; for example boil your left over roast chicken carcass and scrapings for stock to make soups and as the basis for other meals.
- Avoid wastage and plan your meals ahead and write shopping lists. We tend to throw away a lot of food, so by being selective it will be easier to afford organic.
- The best way to eat organically is to grow it yourself in your garden-the freshest, most local produce that’s free!
- To look after your skin, avoid expensive formulas with tons of unwanted chemicals and make your own basic facemasks and moisturisers. Avocado is a natural, nourishing facemask for dry skin, whilst strawberry is excellent for brightening. Oatmeal and water is a perfect natural cleanser with no artificial nasties.
- For removing make up and for an easy cleanse try Rawganic cotton facial wipes- kind to skin and not likely to break your bank at £2.55 a pack.
So next time you think you can’t afford organic, think about small changes that make a big difference!
