To Buy Organic or Not?

That is the question for me, since I am on a small food budget I want my dollar to stretch.  And to be used on the produce that bares more importance and benefit from being Organic.  So I have been doing some research via the internet and nearly every list I find has the same results.  I have decided to pass it along, in case there are some of you out there that can't afford to buy everything Organic.  This is just a suggestion and not a concrete list.  Growing your own would be your best option, but since most of us can't do that here is the list:

ITEMS WORTH BUYING ORGANIC:
FRUIT:                                                 VEGETABLES:                         OTHERS:
Apples                                                    Celery                                           Eggs  (preferably +Omega-3)    cherries                                                   Bell Peppers                                  Meat (preferably grass fed)
Grapes                                                    Spinach                                         Poultry (preferably grass fed)
Nectarines
Peaches
Pears
Red Raspberries
Strawberries





ITEMS NOT NECESSARY TO BUY ORGANIC:
FRUIT:                                                VEGETABLES:                                 OTHERS: Bananas                                                 Asparagus                                            Oils
