#### You doesn’t want to know how to Save Money on the Best Organic Foods?

#### Here I Compare Prices for You!

When I realized that I had to Geaux Organic, my income was well below poverty, yet I needed the best organic foods. An organic food budget became a priority, and I had to figure out how to save money!

Many people say, “I can’t afford to eat organic,” and my thoughts are, how can you not?

It’s your health!

Now, I realize that I lived through some “flat on my face” experiences that screamed, “You need to do a 180 with your ways.”

In this respect, I am actually thankful for my wake up call…calls.

Maybe you are where this family started off. Not eating organic anything.

Maybe you do not believe that eating organic, or Paleo, or whatever you want to call it today, will make a difference in your health.

Maybe the higher prices deters you as well.

Let’s watch and see what convinced this skeptical, money-minded family to rearrange their food budget to Geaux Organic.

Okay, do you want pesticides in your urine?

And, I will add on, do you want poisons taking up long-term residence in your fat cells, making it harder to lose weight? And, let’s not forget that our brain is what? 60% FAT! Think about it, if you still can….

What about your children?

The harmful effects of pesticides are for another post. Today we’re going to focus on your organic food budget.

Let me be the canary in the coal mine for you to make a change and Geaux Organic before your own health speaks louder than mine.

Finding the Lowest Prices

Below you’ll find some leg work, or should I say, finger work, that will show you:

> *Note: Not all products sold on either site are considered “safe” enough for this Geaux Organic girl. And, I was most disappointed for find Mrs Meyer’s cleaning products on both sites. Any product with “fragrances” as an ingredient is not safe enough for anyone, as they are neurotoxins, respiratory irritants, endocrine-disruptors , and more. Go here to check the grade of products before purchasing. I will cover organic cleaning in more posts to come.
