Part 1: Separating Sustenance Needs From Whims In the world of organic shopping, is a food budget an oxymoron? Years ago I exited my local Whole Foods Market while carrying one grocery bag sagging with midriff bulge, and a wallet $151 lighter -- and I had never left the produce aisle to browse elsewhere. After the shock of that first excursion, I scribbled guidelines that preserved my budget arrangements. These rules have kept me sane whenever I tread past the check-out lanes, in departing that store, or other health food emporiums. Before you venture into the quest for zest, salubrity, fitness: (1) Ask Yourself, Why Do Health Food Stores Exist? Is their mission to help you radiate vitality? Of course. Wild Oats Market asserts an axiom, "healthy aging." Yet a subtext resonates. A store that price-marks is in the business of selling. Its aim (respectable) is to make money. Be protective of yours. Using forethought, invest prudently. Among the myriad of often contradictory definitions, the word "organic" for our purposes, may be described as a process, specially honed, that ensures only the freshest, most beneficial elements enter and impact our physical systems. Historically, organic prices soar far above the conventional counterparts. The inflated cost is due, reportedly, to the extra attention the crops grown organically must receive. The advantage to frequenting a Whole Foods or a Wild Oats or a less-organic-fixated, gourmet Fresh Market or Trader Joe's, or even a packaged-supplement outlet such as Vitamin Quota or GNC, is customer-health maintenance. These companies attempt to maintain stringent policies, of quality, sanitation, and environmental sensitivity. At my neighborhood Whole Foods, the few times I encountered a moldy potato, or a rotting rutabaga, the amiable workers I notified, apologized and trashed the offending object. They contacted me when acceptable shipments arrived. Traditional supermarkets have initiated campaigns to cut into the organic fare industry. Many conglomerates showcase natural foods, often at reduced charges. They target time- and tofu-conscious patrons, who might appreciate consolidating alternative, and mainstream, pursuits into one trip. Recently, Whole Foods acquired the underachieving Wild Oats Market for 565 million dollars before any conventional corporations could annex it. Such a maneuver transfers the vulnerability to the regular grocers. A common predicament for the latter is lack of credibility because (a) Some supermarket vendors may distribute substandard brands and/or (b) The selection may be paltry: three packets of wheat-free, spinach linguine jammed between the stacks of duram macaroni boxes and the profusion of spaghetti sauce jars, an abundance of shapes and mixtures. What to do? Chat with the store manager about maximizing options, upgrading quality, switching merchants, or re-training in-house purchasers. Consult corporate offices on compelling issues. (2) Learn The Jargon Of The Health Food Trade. The most recognizable, I think, health food site, Whole Foods, does not mean wholesale. (Ah, if only). Its critics decry what they see as excessive fees, even ascribing to the company, a nickname, "Whole Paycheck" required at the cash register. If you're not careful, you too will come to experience the conundrum, that in the world of organic living, "whole" too often means "half." There may be purity and wholeness in the globes of beet you just bought, yet half the cabbage remaining in your wallet than when first entering the store. Learn enough to recognize the business-game of word-substitution, as you navigate through the aisles of any food store. Organic may be natural, edible, or raw -- but natural, edible, or raw may not mean organic. Among the four traits, one may not infer another. For example, a thing of beauty and a joyless job, forever, to pry open : A shell. A clam shell is natural. Would its naturalness prompt you to bite it? Rather hard to nibble. Natural does not mean edible. A rock is organic, may be carbon-dated, but is not edible, either. The tender clam inside a shell is raw; the clam you stumble upon at the shore has not undergone an anti-toxin processing program. Therefore, its "meat" is natural, raw, edible, but not agriculturally-handled "organic." Even organic may not mean organic. In the clothes cleaning industry, sometimes shrewd advertisers will print "organic" in their ads. Technically correct, they are referring slyly to the chemistry definition of the word, not the alternate classification, "toxin-free." They know that at least some ingredients used within their processes are composed of harmless compounds found on earth. They wager that the harried shopper flipping through the Yellow Pages will assume the advantage, not the risk, in dropping off wrinkled suits to be refreshed. Search and cling to USDA "Certified Organic" labels. The qualifications do remain disputable, among research groups and organic associations. Yet the USDA stamp indicates that at least a company has applied a basic organic manufacturing method. The United State Department of Agriculture (USDA) which issues such labels, you must understand, fixates on methodology, not philosophy. Its purpose is to certify process, not side with proponents of a movement. The USDA upholds environmental, not nutritional or taste standards. The recent conventional unconventional wisdom is that organic and non-organic crops yield similar nutritional value. That assumption will be rebutted, could change, and turn again. Throughout the world, many countries, are developing their own approval procedures. The stringent Australian code seems to be attracting favorable feedback from activists and consumers, yet remaining challenges in standards still muddle that country's agricultural policy. A call for a uniform global certification among organic activists is increasing. Take heart with a simple motto, "Do what you can do" to protect your family. (2) Take a Stand, Now, And Be Willing to Adapt. Don't wait until you're barraged by choices, choices, choices inside a market. To show empathy, Whole Foods offers on its website a $15 a dinner for a family of four. Yet its videos seem like infomercials, with the cook wearing an apron with the Whole Foods logo emblazoned on it, or subtly suggesting a store specialty of Yukon potatoes. A bag of golden spuds, versus equally fine if not luxuriant-tasting Idaho offerings, is not what I'd considered a frugal choice. Neither would be the artfully placed spice jars, labels turned from the camera, yet their glassy exteriors seemingly identical to the ones huddling on the shelves at Whole Foods. Can such instructional videos, podcasts, written recipes, truly satisfy a family of four without feeling hunger pangs? It's possible. However, ethnicity matters. Each family's cultural upbringing in food-ways differs. My ancestors survived the early 20th century Depression by devouring daily unchanging, heaping helpings of macaroni and lentils with bread soaked in olive oil -- and lived long healthy lives afterwards. Simple and cost-conscious and flavorful mean different things to different food-way groups. As a budget-minded disciplinarian, you might want to avoid, in certain establishments, the offer of free ipod-guided tours. The latter may subtly influence you to visit aisles exhibiting items not on your shopping list. For that reason, also, avoid online excursions in general. Online purchasing may be more curse than blessing for the financially challenged. The click of a button -- and you've indulged yourself in amassing all sorts of marvels, many of which you most likely have never tasted before. The shipping and handling charges add to the bill. If highly perishable, some fresh produce may only be purchased via an expensive next-day air requirement. A webpage conveniently may consolidate many packets of information, spurring the consumer's interest, expanding the quantity of items swept into the cyberspace cart. For now, go to the physical not virtual store. Decide at home how you will compromise. The latter is not such an unsavory concept. Because of current inconclusive studies, no solid guarantees exist, assuring that every organic product safeguards health. Guesstimate which concerns are most pressing to your family's well-being. Imagine yourself in the produce aisle. A nosegay of mauve-tinged broccoli buds or a leaf-collared globe of endive, or the hillocks of a gingerroot, you are clutching and examining. All the activists across the planet are pausing amidst their pro and con, sustainable living/agricultural battles. They are leaning forward, poised, with breath not just bated but imploded, raptly awaiting your choice. What will you thrust into your cart: The conventional? The low-sprayed? The organic? The natural version? It's a question of knowledge; It's the power of selection. You matter. With every food choice, you are sending feedback, via inventory control data, to the store headquarters, and being instrumental in its procurement policy and direction. You're not just picking a pear, you're participating in a debate roiling with a myriad of complex undertones. The latter affects the welfare and economy of the country and the world. Like a piece of questionably produced taffy, you find yourself being pulled on all sides, your eating patterns and preferences dissected on an ongoing basis by amateur agricultural sleuths to Nobel prize-winners. If ever there were an apt issue for parsing, for applying the modern Clintonian phrase, "it depends on what the meaning of 'is,' is," it's the arguments over "going organic." The motives: what are legitimate signs of environmentally-derived compassion, and what are the rationales for greed? Are they sincere, the policies geared towards the plight of dolphins caught in tuna-trapping nets -- or those pertaining to live lobsters or crabs plunged into boiling water, or regarding farm-raised catfish or salmon vs. the wild schools? Do these businesses display truly intelligent fish-mongering or just a front for profit-mongering, more money and publicity via the revised corporate tenets? In some cases, perhaps both. Baby seals being clubbed, minks caged for the fur trade, calves enduring a short stunted lifetime in stalls, the list proliferates. Knowledge and experience evolves. It's best to resolve the dilemmas salient to your life-circumstances. You will not be startled, open to impulse, or to the suggestions of an adjacent shopper, seemingly savvy, who may not be up-to-date on latest news reports, or able to interpret them accurately. Let's attune our antennae to the ever-escalating organic chatter flung across national into international lines. Let's crack the cryptic codes of these murmurings, so that you may divine topics flashing red-alert status per your needs. Gloss over the allure of store circulars, of bin labels, or the artfully propped textbooks, boasting the modest, quaint left-hand slant, handwritten akin to 19c cookbooks or country-store barrel signs, with their old-fashioned earthiness, the camaraderie evoked. The "sales appeal" may be at odds with how the product actually may have been processed and distributed. You won't be able to absorb the details in one setting, but be aware that an astonishing array of issues vie for your support: For example, let's touch upon a mere twenty of the brawls, in no special order of alphabetical enumeration: (t) Researchers are immersed in controversies, debating potential dangers of supplements such as the longtime popular triad of the B, C, E vitamins. Consumers find self-educating a Gargantuan task --- Pondering statistics, such as those indicating vitamins and minerals are riddled with synthetic substances. Learning the terminology of frightful-sounding but actually beneficial elements in organically produced supplements. Also, remembering the value of reading small-print. Interpreting labels correctly: Do you know the difference between d and dl alpha tocopherol? (hint: choose the former, not the synthetic latter). (s) Disputes surge, regarding nutritional assets in the soybean, of which 89% of the crop in 2006 grown in the U.S. was genetically modified. (r) The cherished stand-by of beta-carotene as anti-disease prevention is losing its once indisputable, sterling reputation. Some analysts suggest it may lead to, not prevent, bodily dysfunction. (q) Big Business: You may intend to be socially conscious. Yet internal strife occurs in the wellness industry, as had happened between Wild Oats management and laborers. Who do you endorse, then? What about the USDA's relationship with factory farm interests? Some concerned experts assert that, in a too-cozy arrangement, the latter has hijacked the U.S.D.A., with a major self-serving gain for dominant factory farms -- the waiving of mandatory pasture-access. What to do per this quandary of expansionism, involving how organic food is cultivated? Some organic businesses now rival traditional large factories in size and manufacturing apparatus and/or technique. Thus, will you favor small or large farms? Co-op or retail? Uphold 100% pasture grazing, as a necessity or not? (p)Are you wholeheartedly against corporate growth even for a good cause? Does it matter from whom you buy, if the organic product demonstrates similar quality? What about the Native-American companies formed by or with Native Americans to help indigenous tribes struggling on reservations? The purpose is to create jobs for that population, including teens desiring summer work. The wild herbs are cultivated, harvested, distributed by Native Americans. So will you buy at a higher price, because of holistic principles you believe create a win-win scenario, for you and disadvantaged peoples? Or is your financial picture bleak, your immediate concern is survival, and social issues must be set aside? (o) Proponents of conventional, organic, or raw milk, respectively, argue over which method yields the greatest benefits. A corollary question: to buy milk from pasture-access only companies, or not? Some critics stress that even when pasture-access is rigorously maintained, the processing phase may alter all the benefits preserved, tampering with the fatty acids beneficial in milk. People wonder, is dairy safe? Risks surface also with chocolate milk. Chemical sanitizers were discovered in Sealtest's chocolate milk at one time. (n) What about depression? Possible treatments: Acupuncture vs. anti-depressants? Neither? Would homeopathy and exercise work? (m) Per diet, if you eat meat, there will be a problem nagging you for resolution: To buy organic AND free-range? Organic poultry is always free-range, but free-range may not always be organic, because of the type of feed given the animals, and their raised-in-captivity logistics. (l) Do you side with those promulgating strictly organic purchases? Do you support, instead, those who insist that ordinary food, treated with low-level chemicals, actually prove superior to purely unsprayed produce shipped from across the globe? Will you favor the 250-- or the 100--mile "Diet," so to speak, whereby you refuse to digest food grown outside that radius? Controlled vs. unmanaged; farmer's market vs. imports, near vs. far? What do you choose? (k) Will you still eat red-meat, which a number of nutritionists and athletics instructors advocate as vital for training? Have you developed into partially a meat-eater, adhering to hormonal-free, but more expensive poultry such as Bell & Evans? Are you favoring lacto-ovo vegetarian menus? Does a vegetarian lifestyle appeal more than the stricter vegan? (j) Are you gradually adapting to radical-sounding Raw-Foodism? If so, whose tenet would you follow -- heating your pea soup to a temperature not exceeding 120, or 118, or 116, 110, or 105 or even 98 degrees? Take your pick! As a would-be rawist, would you dry your food the old-fashioned way in the sun? Or would you consider as prudent to lug home the investments of a high-priced Excalibur dehydrator or a Champion juicer and don't forget the greens-only puree machine as well. (i) Any idea how to solve the sulfite crisis? To partake of sulfite-free tomatoes, would you for days let your home-grown tomatoes sun-dry? Will you stop eating, not the black type, but the golden raisins, because sulphites are needed to prevent darkening of the product? (h) Do you stil eat fish? Do you agree with the Whole Foods' policy to ban the sale in their stores of live lobsters and soft-shell crabs? In this way they feel they are not encouraging consumers to mistreat lobsters via boiling techniques. What if a store bans live lobster-selling, but features right around the corner, frozen lobster? Does that make sense? Whole Foods avows that in their case, those packaged lobsters are cooked and frozen according to reliable manufacturers who uphold humane treatment for living things. If uneasy, do you have the time and energy to contact the frozen-fish businesses? Basically, is eating fish good or bad for health? On the same day, October 18, 2006 The Harvard School Of Public Health, and The Institute Of Medicine published contradictory reports on whether fish helps or harms. Until concrete evidence emerges, you might decide to include fish in your menu in modest amounts and reduce the frequency of usage. Will you keep tabs on ever-changing fish reports? (g) In time, you will stumble across, surely, the pros and cons of carbon -- such as the carbon cartridge issue per heating one's home for environmental reasons, or carbon as a positive principle in fabric-laundering, the CO2 clothes-cleaning method. C02 provides for some, the weapon to eradicate dry cleaning services. That traditional technique is shown to render pollutants, against which "being green" devotees rail. How will you resolve this issue? What about wet cleaning, which some say is superior to any other method to protect health and the environment? (f) By the way, does the means ever justify the end? Do you favor what I'd call the way of "fundamentalist free-earthers," the environmentalists utilizing sometimes violent means to preserve the planet's health and peace? (e) At some point, also you may want to scrutinize fair trade policy, as well as field and sweatshop workers' rights versus the organic food dealers with whom they do business. (d) What about the movement to ban bottled water? The claim that plastic bottles are pollutant-carriers? How would you acquire fresh pure water? (c) What, if any, is the connection between disease, such as Alzheimer's to cookware? Is the heralded superiority of cast-iron cookware over aluminum, per safety and flavor reasons, authentic? (b) There are even those who insist that organic eating is not healthy, due to its own drawbacks in production, and is not sustainable or pragmatic, that it is unable to feed wide populations. Some consumers become appalled when hearing some organic farmers may use pig or cow guts, along with the manure, to cultivate crops. The manure factor reflects the risk of consumers ingesting particles of manure, contracting a case of e. coli not just from dairy products but most organically raised fresh food., according to these critiques. In rebutting, the "pro-organic" contingent emphasizes that only miniscule risks of illness abound. They insist that organically produced corn, strawberries and marionberries in some reports are proven to be terminal-illness fighting oxidants. And finally, (a) The Kitchen Sink: there's so much to explore! Irradiation, Mad Cow, rBGH, . . . . Enviro-socio-biospheric-spiritual nuances burst forth, requiring ever-attentive focus by a willing shopper. Try to visit many branches of the same store. Layout, size, sale specials, merchandise, customer service milieu, food suppliers, seasonal availabilities, vary. From my experience, the larger health food store chains do address yet never adequately alleviate the painful disconnect, the un-holistic split, between family budgets and store prices. As my grandmother would say, "Please, no excuses! Talk to the handbag!" Thus, in the initial stage of organic buying, clarify your values, and incorporate particular topical issues within your budget framework. Your effort will deter you from wilting under the irresistible charms beckoning you behind gleaming glassfront, of the cheese, fish, poultry counters. (3) Devise A Shopping List And Do Not Deviate. If you're contemplating daily meal possibilities incorporating fresh fruits and vegetables, it's best to shop at least twice during the week. Unless you have ample kitchen space or a massive refrigerator, you might risk food deterioration. Anything raw and unpreserved corrodes rapidly. It's not an uncommon error of novices to over-buy, thus neglecting the souring rice milk, strewn behind the more utilized jug of Borden. You may not realize flax seeds age rapidly. You may fail to rescue the tiny grape tomatoes shriveling within their wire receptacle half-hidden by the toaster. Do support worthwhile enterprises by evolving into a repeat-customer, yet not to the point your family suffers. The latter might have to subsist gnawing on old beef bones, and crackers, until the next pay date. Why? It's because you talked yourself into slicing radishes on a trendy bamboo chopping board, and stockpiling 7 tubs of barley miso mix, that later the children scooped and rounded into play putty. (4) Per Additive-Free Foodstuffs, Concentrate On The Familiar, Not Obscure. Perhaps you are coordinating an upcoming gala, such as a wedding, convention, retirement party, graduation, anniversary, birthday. You may be considering a buffet or at-table function, featuring heart- and artery-friendly delicacies, from appetizers to entrees to desserts. Whether you're operating alone, or with a flexible caterer, rigorously winnowed selections will mesh with restrictions on the capital you possess. The task lightens if the attendees belong to one ethnic group. Yet your gathering may be too large, or complex, to decipher, beforehand, diet preferences. Itemize the provender your guests would recognize. Buy the well-known food commodities, in their natural, not artificially processed condition, and of impeccable caliber. When a repast is geared to U.S. Americans like myself, I'd emphasize oranges, cabbages, peaches, walnuts, celery, almonds, or carrots over costly exotic morsels, the kumquats; jicama; the pepino "melon pear," or pickled plums in wasabi sauce. Kiwi and tofu and radicchio have soared in name-familiarity. If a surplus of revenue trickles from your disbursed bankroll, include them as bases or accents for intriguing canapes. Let the urge to impress vanish; don't underestimate the grander pleasure of dining on everyday dishes blazing with flavor. The taste verifies ingredients are ripe, pure, bursting with untampered nutrients. Use a heavy black indelible marker to jot down the approximate receipt tally desired. Remind yourself that you will keep the projected sum visible in the store. Either you will prop your opened notebook in the basket you will carry, or on a cart's front seat. The ability to stay centered starts before departing your residence. No exaggeration: it's often expensive to thrive organically. Once inside festive, energy-rippling, healing-driven establishments, sudden temptations will beckon. Not just physical, but mental, emotional, spiritual, and financial dreams, of success, float through these corridors of enchantment, blanketing you with bliss. Snap out of the reverie. If it seems like a hefty fee, it IS a hefty fee, for you at least. For years I taught yoga. I was fortunate when learning, because the requirements for practice were: Sit on an old bedspread, and don't indulge your craving for spicy Slim Jims. Now, yoga is big business, in stores and online, hawking instructional videos, inversion therapy swings, plus yogic pants, socks, overnight bags, tents, and nutritional counseling on how to eliminate, cold turkey fashion, your rib steak addiction. You'll find the most fascinating, inventive goods that you never knew you needed -- which you don't. Enlightened, secure in the armor of dispassion, you may now stride directly through the shimmering, automatic sliding doors, into a Whole Foods-style Universe. Part 2: Tumbling Into The Holistic Wonderland (1) Remember Thy Finances and Quota. Before pulling a cart from its queue, think of yourself as a scholar on sabbatical, stumbling upon a Pure, Organic, Natural History Museum of Food and Lifestyle. Mainly, you're here to marvel at edible artifacts, imbibe transcendent ideas on menu-planning, munch pretzel samples, and lastly, to purchase. Prior exhaustive research on price-comparison over the years should illuminate your path. The few souvenir victuals you reserve for acquisition, must represent the lowest price in town, in cyberspace, and match your family's circumstances. Now, trudging over the threshold into a Whole Foods Market, or another life-extension bazaar, you halt in the breezeway. Peering into the interior, at vibrantly hued tiers of peppers, cucumbers, berries or bananas, your breath quickens. You feel transformed, as if abruptly snatched and parachuted into The Land of the Fountain of Youth. The promises of realignment, of rejuvenation, regeneration, restoration, reformation, reorganization, renovation, and realization dizzyingly swirl around you, from aisle to aisle. With all the insistence on rehabilitation, my question always was, when is there time to do the laundry? No problem, soothingly your health store seems to reply, adding: "With the sizzling Prosperity Mentality, that you're sure to manifest, you can attract the funds to hire someone with a poverty--consciousness, to wash clothes for you." Need I say more about the importance of revenue-shielding discipline? Well, yes. As you browse: (2) Weigh Every Bunch of Nuggets, To Avert Underestimating Price. The shopping list you devised and should be clasping, protects from impulse actions. Refer intermittently to this ledger to deepen conviction. A vast extravaganza, such as Whole Foods or Wild Oats, etc., pulsates with vitality. Quantity bedazzles. You'll pause, mesmerized, as hordes of cart-wielding aficionados, good-naturedly jostling, vie for space within the whole--grain aisle. An intense craving for kasha or amaranth pummels you as you gaze. Expert kernel shoppers hustle to towering glass pillars. Hunched like gamblers at slot machines, they yank the levers, so that glorious, golden cascades of grain plummet into their outstretched bags. Torrents of wellness-manna descend, including chips of dried banana or coins of cacao. Here come rattling down, the nuts and legumes, shiny or discolored, so gorgeously ugly, boasting that gotta-have-it nutritional value upon which you're wagering. You've hit the jackpot, a prize that generously keeps on giving, bin after bin after bin. No one, repeat, no one ever since the sun began shining on soyfields or millet acres, plods empty-handed from the loose-cereal aisle. You win every time. Yet before you know it, you're slumped in your car, gripping the steering wheel, mortified that you let yourself ante up precious cash. You've dissipated the week's allotment for supper, on mung bean sprouts (but I heard they cure psoriasis, right?) or steel-cut oats (aren't they the most nourishing oat seed?) or strawberry and raw honey-blended granola (Oh, I felt like a vegan!). To avoid tussling with your guilty conscience, and to prevent future holistic spontaneity, be obdurate. Acquire most provisions at general supermarkets. It's helpful to perceive that at least, for now, until the wealth affirmations you swear by kick in, take small steps. In time you may exhibit an all-organic, environmentally viable lifestyle. Before then, an unswerving pattern, of complying with your current household budget, becomes, all in itself, a serenity-inducing tool. (3) Trust in the Priority Motto, "Food Over Vitamins:" Visible rations that you may touch, see, smell, taste and hear (chopping it, boiling it, inhaling the aroma, testing it, crunching it when dining) satisfy better than a cold, slimy pill. The right food (fresh greens , mixed nuts, etc) prepared in the right way (ease up on the frying) and digested in proper amounts (watch that plate size) already contain enzymes necessary for the body's growth and maintenance. Alluring pill forms or liquid solutions silence rational feedback. You'll admire the rows of lofty vitamin packages heralding scientific-sounding ingredients. Need a cure for poison ivy? For headaches? Fever and the like? In alcoves, the homeopathy or aromatherapy potions glimmer: The Lilliputian bottles delight via whimsical designs and arcane botanical titles. Here is the lyrical salvia lyrata, or lyre-leaved sage (the moniker so much more appealing than its other name declaring its alleged healing properties: "cancer root)." Here, too, Jewelweed. There, the Harry Potterish-sounding mugwort plant. On the shelf above, Prunellas vulgaris, a name sounding more suited to Las Vegas midnight shows, than the proper, staid realm of botany. How quaintly feudal, you'll utter, as you glimpse an antique-styled apothecary's chest. Its grid of infinitesimal pull-out drawers emits a fragrance, hinting of alchemical splendor, of obscure wisdom dispensed via glass cruets or powder-sacks. Perhaps you could shop monitored by a frugal friend? You may have to experiment, expending more money than intended, in order to uncover a formula ideal for you. At apt times, I had used the Dr. Bach (pronounced Batch) flower remedies, with notable results, until somehow my system became immune to its influence. Temporarily, I replaced it with another brand. If your paycheck cannot stretch to accommodate more than a daily multiple-vitamin intake, focus on food in suitable portions. (4) With Limited Funds, Don't Hoard Everything Certified "Organic." A rule of thumb: Buy traditionally grown ( "conventional") produce if it is cosseted by a thick outer skin, a rind or padding. Fruits such as oranges, watermelons, bananas, lemons, limes, avocados, kiwis. Splurge, within reason, on chemical-free, thin-skinned types. Apricots, blueberries, nectarines, pears and the like. Vegetables: buy leafy specimens organic-style. Anything with a stalk that may be brush-rubbed, or with outer protective skin layers that may be peeled -- celery ribs, an onion -- buy ordinary ones. Shun fruit packed in convenience jars, an unwarranted expenditure. Be sparing in consumption. Buy the organic brands of Red Delicious Apples, Bosc pears, etc. and then chop and mix the assortment, concocting a salad. (Don't store regular fruit and organic kinds together, to prevent contamination). Always buy the organic-form strawberries, because of the intensity of spraying most ordinary ones undergo, more than other fruits. Scrubbing conventional produce with a non-toxic wash, harvests more savings than a pantry crowded with perishable pure foods. Less spoilage risks, too. To sustain the verdure of herbs, dampen a paper towel, put the just-bought sprigs on the sheet, and enclose them. Insert the wrapped aromatics in a plastic bag, and place in the back of a refrigerator shelf. To eke a few days' longer duration, wrap the bag in parchment paper. Discard the herbs when the stems rigidify and the leaves pale and curl. (5) Relentlessly Read Labels Before, During, After Check-out. Don't wait until you're layering the lasagna, to discover that the noodles are not the gluten-free pasta you thought you brought home. Perhaps you've trusted that merchandise sold in health food shops, and their cafe/bakeries, automatically guarantees they're wholesome, untreated chemically, anti-viral, anti-spasmodic, preservative-free, allergen-free, scientifically verified? Be vigilant, whether your errand hinges on vegetables, meats, frosted drinks, cheese, snacks, or antioxidants. When in the salad oil section, "naturally pressed," mystifies -- or should befuddle you. To obtain superior olive oil for a feast, pinpoint "extra-virgin olive oil, first-pressed, cold-pressed." Examine coloring: premium olive oil sparkles deep green. In the produce department, at the vegetable crates, broccoli, Chinese broccoli, and broccolini may be confused with broccoli rabe (pronounced usually "rahb") a specific Italian vegetable. My Italian heritage provides me with an inner b.s. (broccoli-sensing) detector, what's broccoli, what isn't, and how to ensure I'm bringing home the yearned-for ethnic delicacy. From my experience, only a label precisely stamped "broccoli rabe" truly assures it's broccoli rabe. Don't assume harmlessness. A pill-concentrate tag may indicate that the sole ingredients are mundane, such as garlic, cranberry, seaweed (kelp) or whatever. Just because each is a food doesn't infer it's safe to ingest -- for you. "All-garlic, concentrated" or "pure apricot puree" may affect you adversely, despite how fond you are of digesting them in whole form. If you're taking prescription medications, or you have allergies, jot down all the information stipulated on the bottle. Then check with your doctor first for advice. For holistic help, although locations may differ, the clerks at diverse markets I visit, will furnish when queried, free directories of alternative-medicine practitioners in your community. 6) Skip The Spice Aisle. The television chefs you adore will ruin your life! Reign in the yen to begin salary-depleting projects. This singular Aisle at health food sites, could wreck your spread-sheet calculations for the entire fiscal year. Mesa chipotle flakes, liquid smoke, stone-ground garlic mustard, hell-level Cajun mix; you imagine it, a distributor already has it glass-blown enclosed, and gift-wrapped for you. Be creative. Save assets by choosing common salt rather than coarse; vanilla extract, not gourmet vanilla bean; black pepper, not trendy white pepper. The differences in cost are significant, and the nuances in taste, inconsequential, to a thrift-oriented consumer. An exception for holidays: Substitute the authentic key limes (tiny, and from Mexico) for lemons. The juice elevates your pies' status, the fragrance more detectable, exhilarating, than a lemony presence. To deter the menace of staleness, buy spice jars in small quantities, on sale at local discount marts. Simplify flavorings. I come from a lineage of Sicilian cooks -- parents, aunts, uncles, cousins, first cousins twice removed -- so gifted as to be consecrated to the culinary milieu. Non-Italian friends, as well as non-Sicilian Italians, beg for recipes and informal lessons on our vegetable/grain-dominated life. Here, I reveal, the four essences constituting our covert prima materia, upon which my ancestral kin, and contemporary relatives, have relied: garlic, garlic, garlic, garlic. Oh, I forgot one more element: and garlic. Sometimes, oregano, basil, and then the garlic. That's it! Buy the latter two fresh, if indeed you have no time or room or skill in hoeing a 40 acre herb garden, or tending a windowsill nursery version. With the extra currency you've saving, good news, you can afford to proffer complimentary, after-dinner parsley stems, as palate fresheners. As for garnish, turn Sicilian: If the food you ladle is delicious, don't worry about omitting the luxuries of chocolate curls, the sprinkles of cilantro, the sumptuous jellied cherry on top. (7) Review At Check-Out Time. It's nearly impossible not to covet what the customer ahead is loading onto the conveyor belt. You'll be tempted to desert the cart, for a manic jog round-trip to the freezer section. There you simply must snatch tantalizing cartons of chapatis, available in frozen form, a possibility you never realized had materialized on the planet. One must be au courant, you aver. To thwart inchoate desires, as you await the thrills of paying, re-evaluate your intended purchases. Last-minute milligram-chart scanning, or recalculating sums, will prevent your inquisitive eyes from wandering. In Closing: Be strong. Committing to a sensible budget ensures financial solvency. You, out of numerous seekers, will have discovered, within natural food chains, franchises, or boutiques, The Secret of Tremendous Happiness: Contentment arises from balance, between your wallet and your wishes.
