I just mentioned an article over at The Washington Post that had a few basic tips for saving money while trying to eat more healthily, and now I'm looking at similar information over at CBS News that takes it one step further by focusing on organics. As we all know, organic foods can be, and more often than not, are, more expensive than regular foods. Here are a few tips on how to find lower prices:

Shop around, i.e. don't think Whole Foods Market is your only option.
Go to the Farmers' Market, and shop strategically. Going later in the day often results in lower prices.
Join a food co-op
Look for coupons

I've found that Amazon has great prices on organic, free-trade sugars, clif bars, and other nonperishables. If you're signed up for Amazon prime you'll pay no shipping.
