Our Organic Efforts

One of my goals in writing this blog is to track our progress as we move toward consuming more natural and organic products.  There will be a permanent link to this list in the "About Me" section, and I will keep it up to date as we incorporate new products into our lives. The list below reflects what I am buying now, but I should note that I have a "stockpile," especially of health & beauty items, from shopping in 2010 that mainly contains conventional products, and at this point I do not plan to dispose of or donate the bulk of it (this will be a topic for another day). 

Mostly Organic
We buy organic/non-GMO/more natural options for these products most of the time:
Fresh Produce (apples, oranges, grapes, potatoes, salad, carrots, garlic...)
Yogurt
Tortilla Chips
Tomato Products (canned)
Coffee
Salsa
Peanut Butter
Jelly & Jam
Mac & Cheese
Soups
Rice
Shampoo/Conditioner (women's)
Body Lotion
Body Wash (women's)
Shave Cream (women's)
Lip Balm
Hand Soap
Laundry Products
Household Cleaners
Toilet Paper
Paper Towels/Napkins (although I'd like to transition to using more cloth)

Some Organic
We buy organic/non-GMO/more natural options for these products about half the time:
Milk (locally I have to choose between non-organic in recyclable packaging and organic in non-recyclable containers. very frustrating.)
Spices
Flour/Sugar
Eggs
Chicken & Meat
Frozen/Canned Vegetables
Salad Dressing
Condiments
Cereal
Snacks (popcorn, chips, crackers, cereal bars etc)

Non-Organic
We rarely buy organic/non-GMO/more natural options for these products at this time:
Cheese (has been cost-prohibitive so far)
Sour Cream/Cream Cheese
Juice
Soda
Pasta
Bread
Toothpaste/Mouthwash
Body Wash (men's)
Shampoo/Conditioner (men's)
Shaving Gel (men's)

What about you?  How do you decide what to buy organic and when to go conventional?
