We are going to Farmers Market a lot lately...

I found out to my surprise when we moved to California that Trader Joes is not as expensive as Whole Foods... actually, many times things are cheaper than in Safeway or Publix.

It appears a lot of people go to Trader Joe's or Whole Foods. Some of my co-workers talk about these markets. They say the markets are good but pricey and organic. I do try to hit the Farmers Market in Howell, MI....cheap but good and a way to help the locals!

Marcia - you may like Cacao It tastes more like milk chocolate, its full of antioxidants and it WONT raise blood sugar, organic is best to get. i dont know where you live but Im sure you can find it at your local health food store and here Ive found it in out "higher end" Krogers.

I have been thinking about shopping most of our groceries organic online. I have looked into this site: Planet Organics, it will save us some time, and maybe it will even save me some money since I will just order what I need, it should help planning the menus and stuff (And if I don't have to o to the store... )

But still, I am not sure, because prices are on the high end... compared to my beloved Trader Joes. :)

Do any of you have any experience with them, or shopping online for organic produce?

Busch's online is how I shop! I check out what I need the day before and load up my cart save it till I'm at work then send. It is ready and waiting for me at the door of the store. Just pay and I'm back in the car heading home. I do this about twice a week and look for the sales and lots of fresh veggies and fruits. I love cheeses(low fat) and chicken, fish, lean pork and beef. I use skim milk and look for bread, pasta and crackers with a good amount of fiber. Once in a great while I will treat myself(chocoholic)and pick up some 70 or 80 percent dark chocolate!
I'm not a big soda drinker...stick with water straight or a flavored(sugar free) now and then. I drink coffee and tea...a glass of wine maybe twice a week.
