Do you purchase organic? Are their only certain foods you get organic? So far I've made squash, peas, sweet potatoes, and green beans, but none of them are organic. But I read that it's a good idea to buy organic fruits. What do you do?
I only buy organic when the vegetable or fruit is one of the dirty dozen. You can google dirty dozen and it will give you a list of the most pesticide laden produce.

I don't buy anything organic unless for some weird reason it's cheaper. DH is a toxicologist and thinks all of that is hooey anyway (sorry).
PG#1 - 3rd cycle BFP. Team Green. HELLP syndrome @ 34 weeks. Later diagnosed with Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, possible link to HELLP.
PG#2 M/C 3/14 - Surprise BFP 2/13. Beta's doubled every 52 hours from 3w5d-5w5d Viable pregnancy scan at 5w5d; 2nd u/s showed 2 days of growth in 7 but a HB of 120 3rd u/s on 3/10/14 had no HB and baby had only grown 7 days over 14 D&C 3/17/14 - complications - DX Retroflexed uterus, multiple tears to cervix
I buy organic cereals because they are about the same price as regular. I also buy organic peaches, sweet potatoes, and carrots (the carrots taste better). I plan to buy organic apples and pears when they are in season. Otherwise, like others have mentioned, it has mostly been regular, if it's not on the dirty dozen. I buy frozen peas and green beans and regular avocados, squash, and bananas.

I buy organic when possible.
I shop the farmer's market also.
Sometimes we don't have organic available, so I just wash stuff well.
Guess I'm the odd one out.
