Look past the label

“Pick up store-brand organic products for the best prices, bar none. Large retailers like Costco, Stop & Shop, Whole Foods Market, ShopRite and many more have private-labeled organic foods like sauces, condiments and breads. These items are at least 33 to 50 percent less than their branded counterparts. Plus, stores will also often offer coupons on their branded products so you can save even more. If you took off the labels, you wouldn’t even notice a taste difference!” —Melissa Eboli, chef and founder
