Replace & Save: Adjust Organic Recipes For Savings

Affordable organic recipes must contain affordable organic ingredients. Produce, grains, flour, and beans can make a very cheap food bill over a month’s time.

As for milk, eggs, meat...these go into recipes that make expensive organic foods. So, how can we stretch out the cheap stuff and still enjoy the regular parts of our diet?

We avoid buying expensive foods when we find easy recipes that make our very own replacements.

Want to still eat those foods? You can still replace and save by using substitutes in baked and cooked dishes where the taste does not depend on any expensive item...like cakes, for instance.

Dishes like these require a texture substitute, not a taste one. So, if we use another "binding" item to replace the expensive one, we get the tastes we love without the high organic prices.

We just want the cake... And, if we can get it for a fraction of the price, we want that cake even more :)

Using this strategy, organic recipes can be planned wisely and reduce our spending. And, although the organic items we buy offer a difference in cost, we can actually save money in the end.

How so? These items are cheap in the first place. A small price hike makes them considerably cheaper than other options.

Plus, the organic recipes will repeatedly use these cheap ingredients. Use something cheap instead of something expensive and you're going to get savings.

For food diversity, we choose seasonal veggies and fruits. The same is true for how we choose our grains and beans. Each of these categories (unless you're allergic) would become staples in a savings- health plan such as this one.

Take beans for instance. Beans would be a “staple,” meaning we could use any type of bean for the same recipe. A staple is used so often that you can’t help but get your money’s worth.

These replacements can be made into side dishes or meals of their own...like bean salads, stir frees, steamed veggies, cultural dishes, baked chips, smoothies, and so on... Plenty of options.

This strategy of “buy cheap and stretch it out” is one way to make organic possible for all incomes. And, according to the diet research of our time, any increase in healthy produce can help our bodies, too.

So, we do more than just save our money. We might save our health in the process. For health benefits of this money-saving-strategy, check out the China Study by Dr. Colin T. Campbell.
