As you may know, I belong to an organic and natural food co-op to get a significant discount off retail prices. However, like many food co-ops, I need to show up and work.

There was yet another article about couponing, this time in “The New York Times Magazine,” (May 3, 2012) featuring the folks at Fabulously Frugal, and yet again, I’m astounded at how a topic like couponing can get people so riled up (read the comments, they are more entertaining than the actual article).

Today in the Connecticut Post newspaper, there is an article based on a study, “Organics on the Rise, Study Says.” See the study here, by TABS Group in Shelton, CT.

But the marketplace is also starting to see the price gap between organics and regular foods closing.
Yes, there’s more demand, an increase in supply, and more selection, but also remember that some lower-priced organic food comes from larger consumer goods companies with questionable business practices. But the good news is that larger consumer goods companies are coming out with affordable organics. Maybe that means more coupons…
