Do you buy too much organic stuff?

Maybe your grocery bill is too big due to buying organic food - that maybe you don't need to get.

Here is a good article that talks about what are the main foods to buy if you only have so much to spend on organic foods.

A few of these surprised me.  I do try to buy organic strawberries, but don't buy organic potatoes. 

One of the other few items that I buy organic is milk. 

I don't buy organic meats most times, but try to get low fat or lean meat.  I also prefer free range meats or eggs but free range doesn't mean organic nccessarily.

What do you do on Valentine's Day?

Valentine's Day is next week.

Do you buy your girlfriend, boyfriend, spouse, signficiant other something expensive?  Flowers?

My husband usually doesn't get me flowers and I'm fine with that.  We usually do a card and some chocolates.  If he does get me flowers, it is from the grocery store (not delivered).

We do not buy each other expensive jewelry, etc.

How much do you spend on this holiday?  it is nice to get your significant other something once in awhile, but does it have to be on 2/14?
Go to lunch or dinner another day when the restaurants don't charge an upcharge.  Buy her flowers when they are also not jacked up prices - maybe on February 1st.  My parents have an anniversary in February around Valentine's Day and I just sent thm flowers on 2/1 to avoid expensive flowers/upcharges.

Right now, Ebates has 20% cash back on Teleflora or FTD.  I don't know if it will be going on - on 2/14, but why do you need to celebrate on a day that companies take advantage and charge people more money for dinner or flowers.

My husband and I will never go to dinner on valentine's night.  We may go during the day while the kids are in school.
