Mint.com recently published an article that lists 15 "natural food rules to shop by". There's lots of good information and advice in there. We plucked out a few of our favorite bits of wisdom, but we suggest clicking through to read the full article as it is chock-full of good tips (15, to be exact!).
From tip # 2, regarding the store Whole Foods: "Their chicken and turkey is fairly reasonably priced (equivalent to Perdue), but their fish and beef is expensive. Instead, look at your local grocery store for seafood, but check to make sure that it is wild and not farm raised, and you will save a lot of money and still get good fish....The cereal is kid-approved, but without anything artificial. And the natural, kid-friendly cereals are much cheaper at Whole Foods than at the regular grocery store."
From tip # 3: "When shopping for deli meats, choose the store-baked meats....No need to buy organic. Also get your deli meats fresh cut and not in prepackaged containers. You will save at least 50% by waiting in line with your little paper ticket."
From tip # 4: "Don't buy organic boxed items from a regular grocery store - (unless it is a store-brand). Get them from Trader Joe's or Whole Foods (or equivalent). They will actually be cheaper as it is their specialty."
From tip # 13: "Costco now sells whole grain pasta and other healthy food products. As long as the food isn't perishable, there is no harm in buying ahead to save some money."
From tip # 15: "If you can, join a local food coop. You will get fresh fruits and vegetables (sometimes meats), from local farmers at a great rate." (See related tip: Getting Good Deals at the Farmer's Market)
